My son drug me to this movie kicking and screaming.I went anyway because he wonted to go.I am glad that I did because it was the best movie that i have ever seen. I laughted and cried from start to finish. Thank you Tom Hanks
My daughter and I watched this movie together and we Laughed during the entire movie❣️ Except when Bubba died, Lt Dan in the hospital and when Jenny died and Forest cried at her grave. There may have been other scenes but those are the ones that stand out. Now I’ve watched it so many times that I recite the dialogue LOL‼️
One of the benches used in the film is located on the fourth tee box on the Davis Love golf course on Fripp Island, SC. This is the golf course they used to film the war portion of the film. The golf course was also the filming location for The Jungle Book.
I love this film so much when I saw it back when it first came out and now I'm fascinated by all these details which I did not realize at the time into a great degree have forgotten about. Time for a long overdue screening of this beloved film❤❤❤️
My dad chose to settle in what would become my home town in large part because it was one of the most integrated towns in the US in 1968. Growing up I never saw racially segregated neighborhoods, and I thought it was a stupid idea. I had racially diverse classmates and friends and no one even cared.
I watched this movie maybe a dozen times and each time saw and learned things about life and how things could turn out for a person depending on the path they take in life.
Scinis did a concert in desert town lancaster ca to raise money for a local tank soldier that lost an arm damaged the other and both legs. A new house with handicapped ammenitiesfor him and his 2 little children. His wife left him after discharge. A mom/dad house was built in the back of yard. Thank you!
Well, I am so glad they ended up with the actors that finally made the film, I cannot imagine any other actors/actresses in everyone of the characters you mentioned. I am specially a fan of Tom Hanks and Sally Field. I have watched this movie for at least 5 times over the years and have enjoyed it and cried just as the first time.
I was a Maine and lived in Beaufort SC at that time . I remember to seeing that bench many times what a piece of History. Savannah GA is Beautiful and full of history. Very Haunted and so much Wonderful history.
The movie was a great success because of the actors and actresses used. If any of the other ones offered the roles had been chosen, I seriously doubt it would have been as good.
Here I figured it was Hugh Jackman courtesy of his voicing Memphis in Happy Feet because I remember the Forrest Gump Elvis sounding like Elvis. Humping is when you're face down in the dirt. George Wallace really did try to prevent blacks from enrolling in the University of Alabama though, so the scene is accurate. I always figured the feather was supposed to be Jenny.
Tom wasn't just shrewd in taking a percentage, but generous as well. You see, if the movie flopped, so did he. But it also insured the other actors and crew got paid a normal salary, and money wasn't spent on paying his actual salary of say.... $12M. That money could be invested in other interests toward making the film. Hey, he has enough money anyhow, right? It ended up being one of the greatest movies ever, so he probably earned 3X what he might have. And the movie's take probably didn't suffer either due to it's success.
C'mon Travolta! You want to take credit for generating other actors careers?! Only career advice learned was don't reject Forrest Gump and star in Battlefield Earth.
Bill look too serious and quiet. Travolta too handsome , Chuby Chase too tall and doesn’t match the look. Ice Cube too mean look. He wouldn’t be able to pull the disability look . It doesn’t match him and his lyrics. Dave Chappell too funny . Doesn’t match the look and the other guy too chubby and intellectual look. Bubba perfect for the roll
Love Mr. Sinise, he came and seen us in 2003 during the invasion into Iraq, he did a show in Kuwait I believe some time around October November 2003. Too bad Tom Hanks turned out to be such a twatwaffle
