But the long lines and large panes of glass can be appreciated from the street to a lesser degree. The Page Southerland Page building at 1100 Louisiana featured briefly but prominently in Terrence Malick’s 2011 film “The Tree of Life.” Unlike Sean Penn, you can’t contemplate life and death and forgiveness from inside this tall, striking structure because this is an outdoor tour. While cruising downtown, the curious will find other film sites easy to reach. But its probing thematic content - about parenthood and domestic abuse - still feels resonant 36 years later. For the record, the film’s quiet and contemplative pace isn’t for everybody. One can still scuttle across a little concrete embankment as young Hunter Henderson (Hunter Carson) did, walkie-talkie in hand, as part of a mission he and his father, Travis (Harry Dean Stanton), hatched to find a long-lost mother and wife (Nastassja Kinski). That weird structure - which looks more like a space-ship docking station - played prominently in Wim Wenders’ “Paris, Texas.” Nor is it a bank even though the futuristic terminal still stands, albeit with some wear and tear. The old Chase Bank drive-thru in the far northwest corner of downtown - hemmed in by Congress to the south, Franklin to the north, between Louisiana and Milam - is no longer a Chase property. With that, let us start as we have did with our tour of outdoor public art: downtown. Some of those destinations feel like a good driving/walking tour that met with social distancing standards of our current day.
DARK ANGEL FILM MOVIE
Though hardly a movie hub, Houston has its share of such sites. We’ve created our own “Raising Arizona” tour in the Scottsdale area and another in Tacoma, Wash., for “10 Things I Hate About You.” They just feel familiar, like a pop-cultural reunion with distant relatives. They bear none of the data provided by a museum. I can’t properly explain the rush found in visiting film sites. Having seen the film “About Schmidt” months earlier, we decided to pull over in the middle of a blizzard. Years ago while driving across Nebraska, my wife and I came upon a sign for the state’s notable Archway monument and pioneer museum.
