All rights reserved.Forrest Gump (1995, VHS)
| Movie Description The title character leads viewers through an accidental travelogue of American social history from the early 1960s through the present in this revisionist fable. Vietnam, desegregation, Watergate and more are presented from the perspective of Hanks' lovably slow-witted character as he finds himself embroiled in situations he can't quite comprehend. Academy Award Nominations: 13, including Best Picture, Best Actor--Tom Hanks, and Best Director. Academy Awards: 6, including Best Picture, Director, Actor and Adapted Screenplay.
Notes Theatrical release: July 6, 1994. FORREST GUMP made more than $325 million at the domestic box office and more than $675 million worldwide. The famous, oft-quoted line said by Forrest Gump in the film: "Life is like a box of chocolates," is a total reworking of the original line in the novel which reads: "Let me say this: bein' an idiot is no box of chocolates." "To make Sinise appear to be a double amputee, the filmmakers relied on a combination of computer artistry, a trick wheelchair that hid Sinise's legs from the knees down and a limber actor... Sinise did suffer a minor leg injury while making 'Gump,' ironically during a scene in which Forrest (Tom Hanks) carries him out of the Vietnam jungle. 'My inner thigh kept bouncing on his shoulder. It was like taking a jackhammer to it,' says Sinise. 'I developed a huge contusion and couldn't bend my leg to get into the wheelchair.'" -- USA TODAY, July 7, 1994 Editorial Reviews Rolling Stone - p.98-9 - Peter Travers Sight and Sound - p.41-2 - Leslie Felperin New York Times - p.C9 - Janet Maslin Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (07/06/1994) Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (07/06/1994) Awards 1994Academy AwardsBest ActorTom Hanks, 1994Academy AwardsBest Adapted ScreenplayEric Roth, 1994Academy AwardsBest DirectorRobert Zemeckis, 1994Academy AwardsBest Picture | Find errors in the product description?
