Product [edit]

Script [edit]

"The writer, Eric Roth, departed substantially from the volume. We flipped the two elements of the book, making the love story master and the fantastic adventures secondary. Also, the book was cynical and colder than the film. In the movie, Gump is a completely decent character, always truthful to his word. He has no agenda and no stance well-nigh anything except Jenny, his mother and God."

—manager Robert Zemeckis[23]

The flick is based on the 1986 novel past Winston Groom. Both center on the graphic symbol of Forrest Gump. Withal, the movie primarily focuses on the offset 11 chapters of the novel, before skipping ahead to the finish of the novel with the founding of Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. and the coming together with Forrest Jr. In add-on to skipping some parts of the novel, the film adds several aspects to Gump's life that do not occur in the novel, such equally his needing leg braces as a child and his run beyond the United States.[24]

Gump'southward core character and personality are too changed from the novel; among other things his moving-picture show grapheme is less of a savant—in the novel, while playing football game at the university, he fails craft and gym, only receives a perfect score in an avant-garde physics class he is enrolled in by his coach to satisfy his college requirements.[24] The novel besides features Gump as an astronaut, a professional person wrestler, and a chess thespian.[24]

Two directors were offered the opportunity to direct the film before Robert Zemeckis was selected. Terry Gilliam turned down the offering.[25] Barry Sonnenfeld was fastened to the moving-picture show, simply left to direct Addams Family Values.[26]

Filming [edit]

The shrimping boat Forrest used in the motion-picture show

Filming began in August 1993 and concluded in December of that twelvemonth.[27] Although most of the film is prepare in Alabama, filming took place mainly in and effectually Beaufort, South Carolina, as well as parts of littoral Virginia and North Carolina,[x] including a running shot on the Blue Ridge Parkway.[28] Downtown portions of the fictional boondocks of Greenbow were filmed in Varnville, South Carolina.[29] The scene of Forrest running through Vietnam while under burn was filmed on Hunting Island State Park and Fripp Island, South Carolina.[30] Additional filming took place on the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, Due north Carolina, and along the Blue Ridge Parkway about Boone, Northward Carolina. The most notable place was Grandfather Mountain, where a part of the road subsequently became known as "Forrest Gump Curve".[31]

The location in Monument Valley where Forrest ends his run

The Gump family home set up was built along the Combahee River near Yemassee, South Carolina, and the nearby land was used to moving-picture show Curran's domicile also as some of the Vietnam scenes.[32] Over twenty palmetto trees were planted to improve the Vietnam scenes.[32] Forrest Gump narrated his life's story at the northern edge of Chippewa Foursquare in Savannah, Georgia, equally he sabbatum at a bus stop bench. There were other scenes filmed in and around the Savannah area every bit well, including a running shot on the Richard V. Woods Memorial Bridge in Beaufort while he was being interviewed by the press, and on West Bay Street in Savannah.[32] About of the college campus scenes were filmed in Los Angeles at the Academy of Southern California. The lighthouse that Forrest runs beyond to reach the Atlantic Ocean the first fourth dimension is the Marshall Point Lighthouse in Port Clyde, Maine. Additional scenes were filmed in Arizona, Utah'south 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 team at Industrial Light & Magic were responsible for the film's visual furnishings. Using CGI techniques, it was possible to describe Gump meeting deceased personages and shaking their hands. Hanks was showtime shot against a blue screen forth with reference markers and so that he could line up with the archive footage.[34] To tape the voices of the historical figures, vocalism actors were filmed and special effects were used to change lip-syncing for the new dialogue.[23] Archival footage was used and with the help of such techniques as chroma key, image warping, morphing, and rotoscoping, Hanks was integrated into it.

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

The CGI removal of actor Gary Sinise's legs, after his character had them amputated, was achieved by wrapping his legs with a blue fabric, which later on facilitated the piece of work of the "roto-paint" team to paint out his legs from every single frame. At ane 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 large crowd of people. Over two days of filming, approximately 1,500 extras were used.[37] At each successive take, the extras were rearranged and moved into a different quadrant away from the camera. With the aid of computers, the extras were multiplied to create a crowd of several hundred grand people.[10] [37]

Reception [edit]

Critical 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 7.50/10, based on 104 reviews. The website's critical consensus states, "Forrest Gump may be an overly sentimental film with a somewhat problematic message, only its sweetness and charm are usually plenty to approximate true depth and grace."[38] At the website Metacritic, the film 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+" grade.[40]

The story was commended by several critics. Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times wrote, "I've never met anyone like Forrest Gump in a movie before, and for that matter I've never seen a picture quite like 'Forrest Gump.' Whatever attempt to describe him will run a risk making the movie seem more than conventional than it is, but allow me try. It's a comedy, I guess. Or maybe a drama. Or a dream. The screenplay by Eric Roth has the complexity of modernistic fiction...The performance is a breathtaking balancing human action 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 difficult feat of existence an intimate, fifty-fifty delicate tale played with an appealingly light touch confronting an epic backdrop."[42] The film did receive notable pans from several major reviewers. Anthony Lane of The New Yorker called the picture "Warm, wise, and boring as hell."[43] Owen Gleiberman of Amusement 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, as well equally U.S. politicians Ronald Reagan, Pat Buchanan and Beak Clinton.[45] [46] [47] [48] Peter Chomo writes that Gump acts as a "social mediator and every bit an amanuensis of redemption in divided times".[49] Peter Travers of Rolling Rock chosen Gump "everything nosotros adore in the American character – honest, brave, and loyal with a heart of gilded."[50] The New York Times reviewer Janet Maslin called Gump a "hollow man" who is "self-congratulatory in his blissful ignorance, warmly embraced as the embodiment of admittedly nothing."[51] Marc Vincenti of Palo Alto Weekly called the character "a sorry stooge taking the pie of life in the confront, thoughtfully licking his fingers."[52] Bruce Kawin and Gerald Mast's textbook on film history notes that Forrest Gump'south dimness was a metaphor for glamorized nostalgia in that he represented a blank slate onto which the Babe Boomer generation projected their memories of those events.[53]

The film is commonly seen as a polarizing one for audiences, with Amusement Weekly writing in 2004, "About a decade after it earned gazillions and swept the Oscars, Robert Zemeckis'due south ode to 20th-century America nonetheless represents one of movie theater's most clearly drawn lines in the sand. 1 half of folks see information technology as an artificial slice of pop melodrama, while everyone else raves that it'due south sweetness equally a box of chocolates."[54]

Box part [edit]

Produced on a budget of $55 1000000, Forrest Gump opened in 1,595 theaters in the U.s. and Canada grossing $24,450,602 in its opening weekend.[2] Picture show business consultant and screenwriter Jeffrey Hilton suggested to producer Wendy Finerman to double the P&A (picture marketing budget) based on his viewing of an early print of the picture. The budget was immediately increased, in line with his advice. In its opening weekend, the film placed first at the U.s.a. box part, narrowly beating The Panthera leo King, which was in its fourth calendar week of release.[2] For the beginning twelve weeks of release, the pic was in the pinnacle 3 at the Usa box office, topping the list 5 times, including in its tenth week of release.[55] Paramount removed the film from release in the United States when its gross hit $300 meg in Jan 1995, and it was the second-highest-grossing movie of the year behind The King of beasts King with $305 million.[56] [57] The film was reissued on February 17, 1995, later the Academy Awards nominations were announced.[58] After the reissue in 1,100 theaters, the flick grossed an additional $29 meg in the United States and Canada, bringing its total to $329.7 million, making it the third-highest-grossing film at that time behind simply Due east.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and Jurassic Park, and was Paramount's biggest, surpassing Raiders of the Lost Ark.[55] [59] [60] Box Role Mojo estimates that the picture sold over 78.5 million tickets in the US and Canada in its initial theatrical run.[61]

The film took 66 days to surpass $250 million and was the fastest grossing Paramount film to pass $100 one thousand thousand, $200 million, and $300 one thousand thousand in box office receipts (at the time of its release).[62] [63] [64] After reissues, the picture has gross receipts of $330,252,182 in the U.S. and Canada and $347,693,217 in international markets for a total of $677,945,399 worldwide.[2] Even with such revenue, the film was known every bit a "successful failure"—due to distributors' and exhibitors' loftier fees, Paramount's "losses" clocked in at $62 million, leaving executives realizing the necessity of better deals.[65] This has besides been associated with Hollywood accounting, where expenses are inflated in order to minimize turn a profit sharing.[66] It is Robert Zemeckis' highest-grossing film to date.

[edit]

Winston Groom was paid $350,000 for the screenplay rights to his novel Forrest Gump and was contracted for a 3 percent share of the film's cyberspace profits.[67] Withal, Paramount and the flick'south producers did not pay him the pct, using Hollywood accounting to posit that the blockbuster film lost money. Tom Hanks, past contrast, contracted for a percent share of the film's gross receipts instead of a bacon, and he and director Zemeckis each received $40 million.[67] [68] Additionally, Groom was non mentioned in one case in whatever of the motion picture'due south six Oscar-winner speeches.[69]

Groom's dispute with Paramount was later effectively resolved subsequently Groom declared he was satisfied with Paramount's caption of their accounting, this coinciding with Groom receiving a seven-figure contract with Paramount for flick rights to some other of his books, Gump & Co. [70] This film was never fabricated, remaining in development hell for at to the lowest degree a dozen years.[71]

The laserdisc was THX certified and released without chapters, requiring the film be watched start to finish.

Symbolism [edit]

Feather [edit]

"I don't want to audio similar a bad version of 'the child within'. Only the childlike innocence of Forrest Gump is what we all once had. It'south an emotional journey. You laugh and cry. Information technology does what movies are supposed to do: make you feel alive."

—producer Wendy Finerman[47]

Diverse interpretations have been suggested for the plume present at the opening and conclusion of the film. Sarah Lyall of The New York Times noted several suggestions made near the feather: "Does the white plumage symbolize The Unbearable Lightness of Being? Forrest Gump's dumb intellect? The randomness of experience?"[82] Hanks interpreted the plume as: "Our destiny is only defined by how we deal with the hazard elements to our life and that's kind of the embodiment of the feather as it comes in. Hither is this matter that tin can land anywhere and that information technology lands at your feet. It has theological implications that are really huge."[83] Emerge Field compared the feather to fate, saying: "It blows in the wind and just touches downwards here or there. Was it planned or was it merely possibly?"[84] Visual effects supervisor Ken Ralston compared the feather to an abstract painting: "It can mean so many things to and so many different people."[85]

Political interpretations [edit]

Hanks states that "the film is non-political and thus not-judgmental".[47] Even so, CNN'south Crossfire debated in 1994 whether the picture promoted conservative values or was an indictment of the counterculture motility of the 1960s. Thomas Byers called it "an aggressively conservative film" in a Modern Fiction Studies commodity.[86]

All over the political map, people have been calling Forrest their ain. But, Forrest Gump isn't well-nigh politics or conservative values. It's about humanity, information technology's about respect, tolerance and unconditional dearest.

—producer Steve Tisch[86]

It has been noted that while Gump follows a very conservative lifestyle, Jenny's life is full of countercultural cover, 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 Movie theater Periodical article that Jenny'southward decease to an unnamed virus "symbolizes the death of liberal America and the decease of the protests that divers a decade" in the 1960s. She also notes that the film's screenwriter Eric Roth developed the screenplay from the novel and transferred to Jenny "all of Gump's flaws and nearly of the excesses committed past Americans in the 1960s and 1970s".[49]

Other commentators believe the flick forecast the 1994 Republican Revolution and used the epitome of Forrest Gump to promote movement leader Newt Gingrich's traditional, conservative values. Jennifer Hyland Wang observes that the film idealizes the 1950s, as fabricated evident past the lack of "whites but"-signs in Gump's Southern babyhood, and envisions the 1960s as a menstruation of social conflict and confusion. She argues that this abrupt contrast between the decades criticizes the counterculture values and reaffirms conservatism.[87] Wang argues that the film was used past Republican politicians to illustrate a "traditional version of recent history" to gear voters toward their ideology for the congressional elections.[49] Presidential candidate Bob Dole stated that the movie's message was "no matter how swell the adversity, the American Dream is within everybody's accomplish".[49]

In 1995, National Review included Forrest Gump in its list of the "All-time 100 conservative Movies" of all time,[88] and ranked it number four on its 25 Best conservative Movies of the Last 25 Years list.[89] "Tom Hanks plays the title-character, an amiable dunce who is far too smart to embrace the lethal values of the 1960s. The honey of his life, wonderfully played past Robin Wright Penn, chooses a dissimilar path; she becomes a drug-addled hippie, with disastrous results."[89]

Professor James Burton at Salisbury Academy argues that conservatives claimed Forrest Gump equally 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 film, which allowed many different political interpretations.[ninety]

Some commentators see the conservative readings of Forrest Gump as indicating the expiry of irony in American culture. Vivian Sobchack notes that the film'south sense of humor and irony rely on the supposition of the audience's historical knowledge.[ninety]

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 Dog Night, 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 amongst others. Music producer Joel Sill reflected on compiling the soundtrack: "We wanted to have very recognizable textile that would pinpoint time periods, however we didn't want to interfere with what was happening cinematically."[91] The 2-disc album has a diverseness of music from the 1950s–1980s performed past American artists. According to Sill, this was due to Zemeckis' asking, "All the material in at that place is American. Bob (Zemeckis) felt strongly about it. He felt that Forrest wouldn't buy anything only American."[91]

The soundtrack reached a acme of number 2 on the Billboard album chart.[91] The soundtrack went on to sell twelve million copies, and is 1 of the height selling albums in the United States.[92] The Oscar-nominated score for the film was composed and conducted past Alan Silvestri and released on August 2, 1994.

Novel-sequel [edit]

The screenplay for the sequel was written by Eric Roth in 2001. Information technology is based on the original novel's sequel, Gump and Co., written by Winston Groom in 1995. Roth'southward script begins with Forrest sitting on a bench waiting for his son to return from school. Later on the September 11 attacks, Roth, Zemeckis, and Hanks decided the story was no longer "relevant."[93] In March 2007, withal, it was reported Paramount producers took some other look at the screenplay.[71]

On the first page of the sequel novel, Forrest Gump tells readers "Don't never let nobody brand a pic of your life's story," and "Whether they become information technology right or wrong, information technology doesn't matter."[94] The showtime chapter of the book suggests the real-life events surrounding the film have been incorporated into Forrest's storyline, and that Forrest got a lot of media attending equally a result of the film.[24] During the course of the sequel novel, Gump runs into Tom Hanks and at the end of the novel in the pic's release, includes Gump going on The David Letterman Show and attending the University Awards.
