Indeed, a great (if counterintuitive) example of this is The Wolf of Wall Street. I bet a lot of people would be surprised at just how much CGI is used in that just for set/location.

The OG film for that was Forrest Gump. It is often lauded as one of the first movies to use CGI heavily but in completely, and intentionally, unnoticeable ways...

True, but in that case you knew it had to be CGI because Kennedy didn't talk to Tom Hanks in any capacity.

Sure, it's like a weird dream where sometimes shadows don't come from the sun and the scenery has this absurd, acutely unreal polish.
