What I've never been able to wrap my head around, is Robert Zemeckis still being a child - and I don't mean that in a good way. He's determined to show us "cool" ... without substance; always seeking out the most eye-popping glamour or newest movie-making technology. This film continues the trend: based on a true story (documented in the 2010 film Marwencol), he uses CGI animation, shocking imagery, and topless Barbie dolls, to attract our attention to a man's recovery from a brutal hate crime. Strange how you'd train under a mentor like Spielberg, and hardly grasp his film-making maturity.
PS: Another documentary-to-live-action transformation, after Zemeckis turned Man on Wire into The Walk. Enjoyed The Walk immensely better than Welcome to Marwen.
