After months of routine operations, their platoon is ambushed while on patrol, and Bubba is killed in action.

Production [edit]

Script [edit]

"The writer, Eric Roth, departed substantially from the book. We flipped the two elements of the book, making the beloved story primary and the fantastic adventures secondary. Also, the book was contemptuous and colder than the movie. In the movie, Gump is a completely decent character, ever true to his word. He has no agenda and no opinion about annihilation except Jenny, his mother and God."

—director Robert Zemeckis[23]

The film is based on the 1986 novel past Winston Groom. Both center on the character of Forrest Gump. Withal, the film primarily focuses on the first eleven chapters of the novel, before skipping alee to the cease of the novel with the founding of Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. and the meeting with Forrest Jr. In addition to skipping some parts of the novel, the film adds several aspects to Gump's life that do not occur in the novel, such as his needing leg braces as a kid and his run across the United States.[24]

Gump's core graphic symbol and personality are also inverse from the novel; among other things his moving-picture show character is less of a savant—in the novel, while playing football at the university, he fails arts and crafts and gym, but receives a perfect score in an advanced physics form he is enrolled in by his autobus to satisfy his college requirements.[24] The novel as well features Gump as an astronaut, a professional wrestler, and a chess player.[24]

2 directors were offered the opportunity to direct the film before Robert Zemeckis was selected. Terry Gilliam turned down the offer.[25] Barry Sonnenfeld was attached to the pic, simply left to directly Addams Family Values.[26]

Filming [edit]

The shrimping boat Forrest used in the film

Filming began in August 1993 and concluded in December of that year.[27] Although most of the film is prepare in Alabama, filming took place mainly in and around Beaufort, S Carolina, likewise as parts of coastal Virginia and Northward Carolina,[10] including a running shot on the Blue Ridge Parkway.[28] Downtown portions of the fictional town of Greenbow were filmed in Varnville, South Carolina.[29] The scene of Forrest running through Vietnam while under fire was filmed on Hunting Island State Park and Fripp Island, South Carolina.[30] Additional filming took identify on the Biltmore Manor in Asheville, Northward Carolina, and forth the Blue Ridge Parkway near Boone, North Carolina. The near notable place was Gramps Mountain, where a part of the road subsequently became known equally "Forrest Gump Curve".[31]

The location in Monument Valley where Forrest ends his run

The Gump family dwelling set was built along the Combahee River well-nigh Yemassee, Due south Carolina, and the nearby state was used to film Curran'southward home besides as some of the Vietnam scenes.[32] Over xx palmetto trees were planted to improve the Vietnam scenes.[32] Forrest Gump narrated his life'south story at the northern edge of Chippewa Square in Savannah, Georgia, equally he sat at a double-decker stop demote. At that place were other scenes filmed in and effectually the Savannah area every bit well, including a running shot on the Richard 5. Forest Memorial Bridge in Beaufort while he was beingness interviewed by the press, and on West Bay Street in Savannah.[32] Nearly of the college campus scenes were filmed in Los Angeles at the Academy of Southern California. The lighthouse that Forrest runs across to attain the Atlantic Sea the commencement time is the Marshall Indicate Lighthouse in Port Clyde, Maine. Additional scenes were filmed in Arizona, Utah's Monument Valley, and Montana's Glacier National Park.[33]

Visual effects [edit]

Kennedy is smiling and looking to his left. In the background, several men are looking in different directions and one is aiming a camera.

Ken Ralston and his squad at Industrial Light & Magic were responsible for the moving-picture show's visual effects. Using CGI techniques, information technology was possible to describe Gump coming together deceased personages and shaking their hands. Hanks was commencement shot confronting a blue screen along with reference markers so that he could line up with the archive footage.[34] To record the voices of the historical figures, vocalization actors were filmed and special effects were used to alter lip-syncing for the new dialogue.[23] Archival footage was used and with the help of such techniques as chroma key, epitome warping, morphing, and rotoscoping, Hanks was integrated into it.

In one Vietnam War scene, Gump carries Bubba away from an incoming napalm assault. To create the effect, stunt actors were initially used for compositing purposes. Then, Hanks and Williamson were filmed, with Williamson supported by a cable wire as Hanks ran with him. The explosion was then filmed, and the actors were digitally added to appear just in front of the explosions. The jet fighters and napalm canisters were likewise added by CGI.[35]

The CGI removal of thespian Gary Sinise'southward legs, subsequently his character had them amputated, was achieved by wrapping his legs with a blue fabric, which later facilitated the work of the "roto-paint" team to paint out his legs from every single frame. At one point, while hoisting himself into his wheelchair, his legs are used for support.[36]

The scene where Forrest spots Jenny at a peace rally at the Lincoln Memorial and Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C., required visual effects to create the big oversupply of people. Over ii days of filming, approximately 1,500 extras were used.[37] At each successive accept, the extras were rearranged and moved into a different quadrant away from the camera. With the help of computers, the extras were multiplied to create a oversupply of several hundred chiliad people.[10] [37]

Reception [edit]

Disquisitional reception [edit]

Forrest Gump received generally positive reviews. The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported that 71% of critics gave the film a positive review, with an average rating of vii.50/10, based on 104 reviews. The website's critical consensus states, "Forrest Gump may exist an overly sentimental flick with a somewhat problematic message, simply its sweetness and amuse are ordinarily enough to judge true depth and grace."[38] At the website Metacritic, the motion-picture show earned a rating of 82 out of 100 based on 20 reviews by mainstream critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[39] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film a rare "A+" course.[40]

The story was commended by several critics. Roger Ebert of the Chicago Dominicus-Times wrote, "I've never met anyone like Forrest Gump in a movie earlier, and for that matter I've never seen a motion picture quite like 'Forrest Gump.' Any attempt to depict him will gamble making the movie seem more conventional than it is, simply let me try. It's a comedy, I estimate. Or maybe a drama. Or a dream. The screenplay by Eric Roth has the complexity of mod fiction...The functioning is a scenic balancing act between comedy and sadness, in a story rich in big laughs and quiet truths...What a magical movie."[41] Todd McCarthy of Variety wrote that the film "has been very well worked out on all levels, and manages the hard feat of beingness an intimate, even frail tale played with an appealingly calorie-free touch confronting an epic backdrop."[42] The film did receive notable pans from several major reviewers. Anthony Lane of The New Yorker called the film "Warm, wise, and slow every bit hell."[43] Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly said that the film was "glib, shallow, and monotonous" and "reduces the tumult of the last few decades to a virtual-reality theme park: a babe-boomer version of Disney's America."[44]

Gump garnered comparisons to fictional character Huckleberry Finn, likewise as U.Due south. politicians Ronald Reagan, Pat Buchanan and Bill Clinton.[45] [46] [47] [48] Peter Chomo writes that Gump acts as a "social mediator and as an agent of redemption in divided times".[49] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone called Gump "everything nosotros admire in the American character – honest, dauntless, and loyal with a heart of aureate."[fifty] The New York Times reviewer Janet Maslin called Gump a "hollow homo" who is "self-congratulatory in his blissful ignorance, warmly embraced every bit the apotheosis of absolutely nothing."[51] Marc Vincenti of Palo Alto Weekly called the character "a deplorable stooge taking the pie of life in the face up, thoughtfully licking his fingers."[52] Bruce Kawin and Gerald Mast's textbook on motion-picture show history notes that Forrest Gump's dimness was a metaphor for glamorized nostalgia in that he represented a blank slate onto which the Baby Boomer generation projected their memories of those events.[53]

Re-evaluation [edit]

Since the 21st century, the film has been re-evaluated and has moved lower in many critics' opinions. Writing in 2004, Entertainment Weekly said, "Near a decade after it earned gazillions and swept the Oscars, Robert Zemeckis's ode to 20th-century America still represents ane of cinema's most conspicuously fatigued lines in the sand. One half of folks see it as an artificial piece of pop melodrama, while anybody else raves that it's sweet as a box of chocolates."[54] Additionally, the film has also been criticized for its perceived conservative politics.[55] [56] Writing for Indiewire in 2019, Eric Kohn said: "This no-nix white human becomes a war hero and a wealthy man just past chugging along, participating in a country that dictates his every movement. He never comprehends racism or the complexities of Vietnam; the movie portrays political activism and hippy culture as a giant cartoon beyond Forrest'south understanding, while presenting his apolitical stance as the height of all virtue." Furthermore, in an article for CNN discussing the film's reassessment in 2014, Brandon Griggs wrote of possible readings against the film "Forrest, as played by Tom Hanks, is the paradigm of wholesome decency: a God-fearing, All-American football player and war hero who has no use for the counterculture movements of the late '60s. Despite an IQ of 75, he achieves fame and financial success. He'due south even from carmine-state Alabama!"[57]

Box office [edit]

Produced on a budget of $55 1000000, Forrest Gump opened in 1,595 theaters in the United States and Canada grossing $24,450,602 in its opening weekend.[2] Film concern consultant and screenwriter Jeffrey Hilton suggested to producer Wendy Finerman to double the P&A (film marketing budget) based on his viewing of an early impress of the movie. The budget was immediately increased, in line with his advice. In its opening weekend, the motion-picture show placed outset at the The states box role, narrowly beating The Lion Rex, which was in its fourth calendar week of release.[ii] For the outset twelve weeks of release, the moving picture was in the superlative iii at the United states of america box office, topping the list 5 times, including in its tenth week of release.[58] Paramount removed the pic from release in the U.s.a. when its gross hit $300 million in January 1995, and it was the second-highest-grossing motion-picture show of the year behind The Panthera leo Rex with $305 million.[59] [60] The film was reissued on February 17, 1995, later the Academy Awards nominations were announced.[61] Later on the reissue in i,100 theaters, the film grossed an additional $29 meg in the Us and Canada, bringing its total to $329.vii one thousand thousand, making it the third-highest-grossing motion-picture show at that fourth dimension behind just E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and Jurassic Park, and was Paramount'south biggest, surpassing Raiders of the Lost Ark.[58] [62] [63] Box Function Mojo estimates that the film sold over 78.five one thousand thousand tickets in the US and Canada in its initial theatrical run.[64]

The picture show took 66 days to surpass $250 meg and was the fastest grossing Paramount picture show to pass $100 million, $200 million, and $300 million in box office receipts (at the time of its release).[65] [66] [67] Subsequently reissues, the film has gross receipts of $330,252,182 in the U.Southward. and Canada and $347,693,217 in international markets for a total of $677,945,399 worldwide.[2] Fifty-fifty with such revenue, the motion picture was known as a "successful failure"—due to distributors' and exhibitors' loftier fees, Paramount'southward "losses" clocked in at $62 1000000, leaving executives realizing the necessity of ameliorate deals.[68] This has also been associated with Hollywood accounting, where expenses are inflated in gild to minimize turn a profit sharing.[69] It is Robert Zemeckis' highest-grossing movie to appointment.

[edit]

Winston Groom was paid $350,000 for the screenplay rights to his novel Forrest Gump and was contracted for a iii percentage share of the film's net profits.[70] Notwithstanding, Paramount and the pic's producers did non pay him the percentage, using Hollywood accounting to posit that the blockbuster film lost money. Tom Hanks, by contrast, contracted for a percent share of the movie'due south gross receipts instead of a salary, and he and director Zemeckis each received $40 million.[seventy] [71] In add-on, Groom was non mentioned once in any of the film's six Oscar-winner speeches.[72]

Groom'due south dispute with Paramount was later effectively resolved later Groom declared he was satisfied with Paramount'southward explanation of their accounting, this coinciding with Groom receiving a seven-figure contract with Paramount for film rights to another of his books, Gump & Co. [73] This film was never fabricated, remaining in development hell for at least a dozen years.[74]

The laserdisc was THX certified and released without capacity, requiring the motion picture exist watched start to finish.

Remake [edit]

The upcoming Indian movie, Laal Singh Chaddha, starring Aamir Khan is an official remake of Forrest Gump. The moving picture is directed by Advait Chandan and produced by Aamir Khan Productions, Viacom18 Studios and Paramount Pictures.[85]

Symbolism [edit]

Plumage [edit]

"I don't want to sound like a bad version of 'the child within'. But the childlike innocence of Forrest Gump is what nosotros all once had. It'due south an emotional journey. You laugh and cry. Information technology does what movies are supposed to exercise: make you feel live."

—producer Wendy Finerman[47]

Diverse interpretations have been suggested for the feather present at the opening and conclusion of the film. Sarah Lyall of The New York Times noted several suggestions made about the feather: "Does the white feather symbolize The Unbearable Lightness of Existence? Forrest Gump's impaired intellect? The randomness of experience?"[86] Hanks interpreted the plume as: "Our destiny is merely defined by how nosotros deal with the chance elements to our life and that's kind of the embodiment of the plumage as it comes in. Here is this thing that can country anywhere and that it lands at your feet. Information technology has theological implications that are actually huge."[87] Emerge Field compared the feather to fate, saying: "Information technology blows in the current of air and merely touches down here or there. Was information technology planned or was it just perchance?"[88] Visual furnishings supervisor Ken Ralston compared the plumage to an abstruse painting: "It can mean then many things to so many different people."[89]

Political interpretations [edit]

Hanks states that "the moving picture is non-political and thus non-judgmental".[47] Even so, CNN's Crossfire debated in 1994 whether the motion picture promoted conservative values or was an indictment of the counterculture movement of the 1960s. Thomas Byers called it "an aggressively conservative film" in a Modern Fiction Studies article.[ninety]

All over the political map, people have been calling Forrest their own. Only, Forrest Gump isn't almost politics or conservative values. It'south about humanity, it'south about respect, tolerance and unconditional honey.

It has been noted that while Gump follows a very bourgeois lifestyle, Jenny's life is full of countercultural embrace, consummate with drug-usage, promiscuity, and antiwar-rallies, and that their eventual marriage might be a kind of reconciliation.[41] Jennifer Hyland Wang argues in a Cinema Journal article that Jenny's death to an unnamed virus "symbolizes the death of liberal America and the death of the protests that defined a decade" in the 1960s. She also notes that the film'southward screenwriter Eric Roth adult the screenplay from the novel and transferred to Jenny "all of Gump'south flaws and nigh of the excesses committed by Americans in the 1960s and 1970s".[49]

Other commentators believe the film forecast the 1994 Republican Revolution and used the image of Forrest Gump to promote movement leader Newt Gingrich's traditional, conservative values. Jennifer Hyland Wang observes that the film idealizes the 1950s, as made evident past the lack of "Whites Only"-signs in Gump's Southern childhood, and envisions the 1960s as a period of social conflict and defoliation. She argues that this sharp contrast betwixt the decades criticizes the counterculture values and reaffirms conservatism.[91] Wang argues that the movie was used past Republican politicians to illustrate a "traditional version of recent history" to gear voters toward their credo for the congressional elections.[49] Presidential candidate Bob Dole stated that the flick's message was "no matter how bang-up the adversity, the American Dream is within everybody'southward reach".[49]

In 1995, National Review included Forrest Gump in its list of the "All-time 100 conservative Movies" of all time,[92] and ranked it number 4 on its 25 Best bourgeois Movies of the Final 25 Years list.[93] "Tom Hanks plays the title-character, an amiable dunce who is far too smart to comprehend the lethal values of the 1960s. The beloved of his life, wonderfully played by Robin Wright Penn, chooses a different path; she becomes a drug-addled hippie, with disastrous results."[93]

Professor James Burton at Salisbury Academy argues that conservatives claimed Forrest Gump as their own due less to the content of the pic and more to the historical and cultural context of 1994. Burton claims that the film's content and advertising campaign were affected by the cultural climate of the 1990s, which emphasized family-values and American values, epitomized in the book Hollywood vs. America. He claims that this climate influenced the apolitical nature of the picture show, which allowed many unlike political interpretations.[94]

Some commentators meet the conservative readings of Forrest Gump as indicating the death of irony in American culture. Vivian Sobchack notes that the film'south humor and irony rely on the assumption of the audience's historical noesis.[94]

Soundtrack [edit]

The 32-song soundtrack from the film was released on July half-dozen, 1994. With the exception of a lengthy suite from Alan Silvestri's score, all the songs are previously released; the soundtrack includes songs from Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Aretha Franklin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Three Domestic dog Nighttime, the Byrds, the Beach Boys, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, the Doors, the Mamas & the Papas, the Doobie Brothers, Simon & Garfunkel, Bob Seger, and Buffalo Springfield among others. Music producer Joel Sill reflected on compiling the soundtrack: "We wanted to have very recognizable material that would pinpoint time periods, yet nosotros didn't desire to interfere with what was happening cinematically."[95] The ii-disc album has a diversity of music from the 1950s–1980s performed by American artists. According to Sill, this was due to Zemeckis' request, "All the material in in that location is American. Bob (Zemeckis) felt strongly about it. He felt that Forrest wouldn't buy annihilation simply American."[95]

The soundtrack reached a peak of number 2 on the Billboard anthology nautical chart.[95] The soundtrack went on to sell twelve 1000000 copies, and is ane of the top selling albums in the United states of america.[96] The Oscar-nominated score for the moving picture was composed and conducted past Alan Silvestri and released on August 2, 1994.

Novel-sequel [edit]

The screenplay for the sequel was written past Eric Roth in 2001. It is based on the original novel's sequel, Gump and Co., written past Winston Groom in 1995. Roth'south script begins with Forrest sitting on a bench waiting for his son to return from school. Afterwards the September 11 attacks, Roth, Zemeckis, and Hanks decided the story was no longer "relevant."[97] In March 2007, however, it was reported Paramount producers took another look at the screenplay.[74]

On the start page of the sequel novel, Forrest Gump tells readers "Don't never let nobody make a movie of your life's story," and "Whether they become it right or wrong, it doesn't matter."[98] The start affiliate of the book suggests the real-life events surrounding the film accept been incorporated into Forrest's storyline, and that Forrest got a lot of media attention as a result of the film.[24] During the course of the sequel novel, Gump runs into Tom Hanks and at the cease of the novel in the film's release, includes Gump going on The David Letterman Evidence and attending the Academy Awards.
