In the end, I think Tomorrowland is “it’s the thought that counts” all the way, and as it has, my assessment is quite positive. It is a film which is more than what it is, and has to be: when it comes to the wonder of that force that invites us to imagine and evade; if it is, in the words of the film itself, believing that anything is possible, our imagination noses always fly higher than what comes out on the screen.
I think of Jurassic Park, one of the great films par excellence. I have always believed that they were not (only) the dinosaurs: the key was Dr. Alan Grant, with the broken face of wonder, looking at dinosaurs at that first meeting.
Tomorrowland is not the CGI, which thus gives, or cliché of being or not being special or whatever.
In a Hollywood dominated by franchises, Tomorrowland is a rarity: it is not an adaptation of another material – be it a novel, a comic, or a series of old TV – not a remake or sequel made unnecessary for money. It’s a film hd quality movies download with a genesis that is increasingly less: born of an original idea.
The “land of tomorrow” of the title is a futuristic city, the one to which they want to get our two characters: Casey (Britt Robertson), a bright future eternal optimist, and Frank (George Clooney), a former inventor become a cynical recluse. And it is in this place of fantasy, a city where everything is possible, that the director Brad Bird has something to say about our society.
In such troubled world like ours, it is easy to be cynical. Scientific and technological development is always received with suspicion, seen as something that can cause harm to mankind instead of helping. Tomorrowland is the opposite of all this pessimistic view; a film that still allowed to dream with all the possibilities that can bring us the future. When a young Frank and Casey tread this city for the first time, the place surprised us input, so much so that one would wish that the film spends more time there than in our ordinary world.
Being a Disney production, this is an optimistic film, almost as much as its protagonist. There is not a shred of cynicism, something new for an audience already accustomed to the antiheroes and black humor. Even he could be accused of innocent or naive. It reveals a simple style of filmmaking like something out of another era.
Many take Frank’s position, that of bitter that refuses to believe; but ultimately it is easy to accept the fantasy. There are moments here that can make you feel like a child; again surprised by what surrounds us and marveled at all the possibilities. It’s the kind of magic that Disney does well; not in vain Brad Bird is responsible for two of the best films of Pixar, The Incredibles and Ratatouille.
Beyond its positive message, the director and his screenwriter, Damon Lindelof, sometimes diminish the flight of his own film, trying to reason and explain a story that must operate on the basis of pure imagination, as when young Frank present their inventions. When you are carried away by fantasy, it is not necessary more.
