If Forrest Gump has impacted your life, then you can have a piece of the incredible story as long as you want. Imagine having a signed autograph of Tom Hanks of Forrest Gump, it will be a surreal feeling seeing the epitome of strength and willpower in your room.
It is a bit difficult if you want to categorize what type of movie Forrest Gump is. But one thing you can be sure of is it is a fantastic movie. There are so many areas the movie touches, it has drama, humor and even some tragic parts in it. It is like a place where you can go if you do not feel enthusiastic about yourself. Yes, with the issues that come up in life, there are days where you just want to crawl in bed and sleep till the next morning. Those types of days are for Forrest Gump.
Eric Roth captured the essence of love, humanity, willpower, and courage in this beautiful movie about a man with an IQ of 75. Arguably, there is no one who can picture playing the role than Tom Hanks. The iconic actor still gets tagged with many lines from the 90s movie even till now. The movie follows Forrest in his life from the 1950s till the 1980s as he basically waltzed through life on the back of honesty and courage. Forrest lived everyday like it was his last, and to him, he did not have a disability. He never once sunk into the deep mental state that his disability would hinder him from getting things done. It was so ironic that a retard was part of every bit of American history from the 50s until the 80s.
It is no surprise that the movie dominated the box office and won several awards. The directors, writers, and Tom Hanks himself got worldwide acclaim for their memorable work in this inspiring film.
Forrest as a cultural Icon
Catchphrases
The ability of the writer to create such an appealing film that makes people believe in themselves regardless of the issues they face is simply cinematic genius. Forrest was teased in school for not speaking or walking properly, but overcoming these issues in the most dramatic and fulfilling ways allows us to appreciate his character even more. When we hear the words, “Run Forrest, Run”, we immediately remember how poetic his triumph over those bullies who were chasing him was.
An Inspiration
It is a story that exemplified how you could believe in yourself so much that the universe would begin to work for you. This was all that characterized how Forrest Gump rose to fame and fortune. After getting into college football on a scholarship, he went to war and was awarded a medal of honor after serving in Vietnam. In a place where he should be scared based on his disability, Forrest was a hallmark of a soldier rescuing his mates who were stranded at war. Forrest also assumed the title of Ping-pong champion; he went on an expedition and became a shrimp boat captain. After which, Forrest became a millionaire after owning stocks in Apple computers. There was virtually nothing he could not do with his IQ of 75.
The beauty of Love
Many people would say that Forrest does not understand what happens to him as he cruises through life, but on the contrary, he is fully aware of what is happening around him. Forrest understands the recognition that he is getting but the innate feeling of doing something good in the world overwhelms him. Forrest understands that his love for Jenny is real and stronger than anything he has ever felt in his life. He sees her struggles and always encourages her.
The escapades of Forrest and Jenny remind us of how our society is, the rollercoaster of emotions and activities that we surround ourselves with just to feel whole in a world filled with so much hate and turmoil. It takes a “stupid” person to uncover people’s eyes to see that life is meaningless without genuine love for our fellow man regardless of their differences, color, and disability. It is a magical movie that brings us to the reconciliation that this movie is evergreen.
So why wont the movie win that many awards? However, it teaches us several valuable lessons, especially being able to take life in its stride. No matter what life threw at Forrest he always had a response that would shock people.
The Bench
It was interesting to see that the movie was based on a flashback technique used by the writers as Forrest was seen sitting on a bench to tell his story to strangers. As of now, the Bench is a Hollywood artifact that is on display at the Savannah History Museum in Georgia.
The Soundtrack
The pop and rock sound of the Forrest Gump soundtrack was a massive hit going platinum and being on the billboard top 200 for seven weeks at the number two spot.
The controversy behind the character
With so a captivating movie, fans will want to dig deep at different aspects to uncover some more truth. The first place people looked was to check if Forrest Gump was a real person. This caused a lot of frenzy as people argued for and against the claim that it was a fictional character.
Interesting Facts About Tom Hanks as Forrest
As we earlier said, it is hard to imagine anyone else playing the role of the fictional character Forrest Gump. However, in his audition, Tom Hanks had yet to perfect the accent but the movie showcases his ability to embody himself into a role. Tom went on to win Best Actor at the 1995 Academy Awards.
Follow Your dreams
We are all looking for the essence of life and how we can carefully navigate through life without getting burned often. It can be difficult trying to juggle so many things that we want to do. Many people fear doing things and end up regretting following their passion because “What will people say?” Forrest Gump was never shy or afraid of doing what he wanted to do. He made sure that whatever goal he set, he achieved it. Forrest thought he could run across America, and he sure did so with a smile on his face. This shows that there is absolutely nothing that we can’t do if we set our minds to do it. If a man with an IQ of 75 could achieve so much and be part of American history this much, then why can’t you do the same. It is a gripping movie that teaches us to love ourselves first and believe in what we can do.
