More than any other living filmmaker, Robert
Zemeckis has pushed the technology of special effects for
storytelling rather than for sheer spectacle. That doesn't mean
he is above spectacle: Death Becomes Her and Back to the Future
II were fiendishly clever vehicles for startling and delighting
audiences. But Robert Zemeckis is also fond of updating the tradition
of screwball and cliffhanger comedy from an earlier age in Hollywood.
His first movies, from I Wanna Hold Your Hand to Back to the Future,
piled on comic suspense decorated with palpable sentiment. More
recently, Robert
Zemeckis has brought his focused inventiveness to more serious
themes (Forrest Gump, Contact) and become a major director.
