When Aidan goes to the school to ask for "tzedakah" (charity) the word is written on his palm, but when he gets up after the meeting, the word is no longer there. See more »
What is that Zach Braff can't do? Nothing. He can write, direct and act perfectly. Wish I was here is a perfect story that proves this. The movie starts with the childhood dream of two brothers which was to be great and how it is realised by them in the end. The actual problems of family, dreams , expectations are all beautifully depicted. It has its moments, great moments. Not meeting the hopes of a father, a not so ambitious brother, religious children, the wife who works to support the family and the guy who still pursues his dream to be an actor.
Satisfaction, creativity, hope and living your dreams are the words which you will get familiar with in the end.
The music is alive and amazing. The movie has a voice and it is the most important part of telling a story.
