,
Forrest Gump was one of the nineties biggest success stories in cinema and it has become one of the most successful movies in Hollywood cinematic history. The movie, which was released in 1994, is based on the novel of the same name written by Winston Groom. It stars Tom Hanks, Robyn Wright Penn, Sally Field and Gary Sinise.
Immediately upon the release of the film it was a huge success and ended up grossing more than $677 million. All this despite some problems with casting the film and director. The movie ended up winning seven Academy Awards and many other industry awards with Tom Hanks winning best actor for his performance as the main character.
The storyline of the movie is centered upon Forrest Gump who recounts the extraordinary events of his life during the sixties, seventies and early eighties. Although Forrest is considered to have a below par IQ and be very simple, he manages to be present at some of the most important historical events of this era and meet influential people from the political and pop cultural spheres.
At the beginning of the movie Gump is sat at a bus stop and begins telling a woman about the series of events of his life that have lead him to the bus stop. The woman listens incredulously as he tells her that "life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get". The beginning of his amazing journey really begins with his scholarship to study at Alabama State based on his football prowess.
During his convalescence from war injuries he takes up ping pong and becomes a national champion who visits Maoist China as a representative of the United States government. Later on he receives a medal of honor from the President and experiences the fringes of the sixties hippy movement.
All throughout his life Gump is enamoured of his friend Jenny who he met on his first day of school. Jenny was an abused child and ends up being a damaged adult who follows a number of self-destructive paths. Gump however, is blind to her weaknesses and they end up together. Gump also manages to become involved in setting up Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. And this becomes a multi million dollar company. He becomes very wealthy when his business partner ends up investing in a little known company called Apple.
Both the movie and the book are filled with events that will make you laugh, smirk, sigh and cry. And when the credits roll you start to wonder who was the smart one and who of us might learn a thing or two about how to live life from the innocent and sweet Gump.
Forrest Gump is an entertaining and beautiful movie that has become one of the biggest success stories of Paramount Pictures and Hollywood. Hard to believe when you consider that Robert Zemekis was the third director the movie was offered to and the role of Gump was also turned down by several other Hollywood heavy weights before Tom Hanks decided to take it on.
