	Forrest Gump: Special Collector's Edition (1994)
		Gump is unusual in that it lacks the “big” qualities we generally associate with blockbusters, but its kind, gentle spirit made it accessible to all audiences.
		Forrest’s IQ complicates matters, for his denseness does make it appear that the only way to succeed is to remain blithely unaware of negativity.

	Forrest Gump
		Forrest begins life as a boy with a spinal problem who has to wear corrective braces on his legs to keep his posture straight.
		The rest of the story Forrest tells at the bus stop is about Dan's salvation, the Bubba Gump shrimp explosion, and how he himself became a national inspiration as a 'running fool', criss-crossing the USA as a jogger.
		Gump is excellent (interestingly, a few years before she had played Hanks' love interest in "Punchline"), showing where Forrest got his 'gumption' and determination.

	Forrest Gump
		When Gump tells us that his childhood sweetheart Jenny is lucky to have a father who kisses and touches her and her sisters all the time, the line is funny because it's exactly what the innocent Gump would assume.
		Forrest Gump creates its own floating reality, and the problem many critics have with this is that it deals, in large part, with actual historical events (much of the film addresses Vietnam and the peace movement).
		Gump is a safe guide through the tumult of the '60s, the absurdity of the '70s, and the greed of the '80s.

	A few notes on Forrest Gump
		The same goes for the transitions between the bus stop where Forrest tells his story, and the flashbacks to the action he describes.
		Bob and Tom Hanks knew that when Forrest was telling his story on the bench he shouldn't be looking at the people he was talking to before or after the flashbacks.
		Forrest Gump was a dream project for me. I feel very lucky to have had the chance to work on it.

	Forrest Gump - Rotten Tomatoes
		Forrest Gump has an intricacy and depth that is more rewarding while still being enormously engaging.
		Passionate and magical, Forrest Gump is a tonic for the weary of spirit.
		Hanks is so charming as Gump, so heroic in his guilelessness and belief in simple virtues, that you want to excuse the film's excesses and overlook Zemeckis' weakness for easy, maudlin sentiment.

	Forrest Gump movie review (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Throughout the movie, Gump is in situations where he is harassed by other people but he never takes offense (except, of course, when his girl Jenny is being abused) at any of the insults thrown at him.
		Gump rubs elbows with many famous personalities over the last half of the century including Elvis Presley and Nixon, thanks to computer technology (General Dan doesn't really lose his legs either---they are just erased and the background is then touched up by using computer graphics programs).
		Gump is a new kind of a role-model; he's A Nice Boy and everyone knows they're hard to find.

		Forrest then tries to count how many times they were like "peas and carrots," and inadvertantly completes the multiplication table in the process, sees Jenny, who JUST HAPPENS to be beyond the finish line, and in a blaze of light and sparks is there in about 4.5 seconds.
		Gumps got it in the bag because Liddy and Haldeman will break into the room containing the math problem the week before, spend the next few days solving it and then have Gump memorize it for the competition.
		Gump's head snaps up and he dashes to the finish line in 2.68 seconds (knocking over everyone on the Field - who was already lying down), looking for the reward.

	Forrest Gump \| Filmpunkten
		Forrest har inte alla hjärnceller sorterade som alla andra människor, men han är glad ändå och han tar sig igenom livet på ett sätt som ingen annan.
		Forrest Gump skildrar en väluttänkta karaktär vid samma namn och den är på många sätt en rätt utmanande film som genomsyras av en intressant frågeställning: Forrest Gump klassas som dum i huvudet med sin låga IQ, men trots det så gör han aldrig något dumt i hela sitt liv.
		Forrest Gump är en av de bästa filmerna jag någonsin sett!

		Forrest Gump...................Tom Hanks A somewhat slow (not smart) person, who happens to be incredibly kind, decent, and over the course of his life, quite lucky.
		Forrest Gump is the story of an incredibly kind and gentle person who is also what some people might call "mildly retarded." It's true that he is not too smart, but he is very fortunate, because he has a mother and friend who love him dearly.

	:: rogerebert.com :: Reviews :: Forrest Gump (xhtml)
		I've never met anyone like Forrest Gump in a movie before, and for that matter I've never seen a movie quite like "Forrest Gump." Any attempt to describe him will risk making the movie seem more conventional than it is, but let me try.
		Forrest is born to an Alabama boardinghouse owner (Sally Field) who tries to correct his posture by making him wear braces, but who never criticizes his mind.
		Gump the football hero becomes Gump the Medal of Honor winner in Vietnam, and then Gump the Ping-Pong champion, Gump the shrimp boat captain, Gump the millionaire stockholder (he gets shares in a new "fruit company" named Apple Computer), and Gump the man who runs across America and then retraces his steps.

		Continuity: When Forrest is running the football field and passing all the players, he passes everyone except the referee, who can be seen moving down the sidelines at a faster pace than Forrest.
		Factual error: When Forrest is talking to Jenny at her grave, he says "You died on a Saturday." But 22 March 1982 (the date on the grave) was a Monday.

	"Forrest Gump" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		Played by Tom Hanks, Forrest Gump is a man of limited IQ but seemingly unlimited love and devotion, especially for his lifelong sweetheart, Jenny (Robin Wright).
		Gump's innocence and humility are constantly contrasted with Jenny's destructive search for love and fulfillment in all the wrong places.
		Although Gump steadfastly resists the temptations of other women and various worldly vices, his intimacy with Jenny prior to marriage is regretfully condoned.

	Forrest Gump (1994)*
		Forrest’s mother named him Forrest to remind him that “sometimes we do things that just don’t make no sense”--at this point the movie reproduces a reference to D.W. Griffith’s film Birth of a Nation, in which it depicts the beginnings of the clan as an innocuous “club”
		The dictionary definition of a “gump” is an idiot or a dolt.
		If the audience of the film is to identify with Forrest, then the movie becomes a very sophisticated satire, with its own audience as the subject: America the gullible and adoring audience, America the market, America the slow-witted.

	Forrest Gump (1994)
		Forrest Gump, while not intelligent, has accidentally been present at many historic moments, but his true love, Jenny, eludes him.
		Continuity: In the scene where Forrest sees Lt. Dan on the dock and jumps from his shrimping boat to meet him, the boat is moving right in the point of view of Lt. Dan.
		And yet it was so perfectly understated that Forrest Gump's travels through thirty five years of the stormiest and most meaningful years of American history only became clearly defined for the viewer.

	Forrest Gump: Collector's Edition (US - DVD R1) in Reviews > Video Discs at DVDActive
		While on one level Forrest Gump is a heartwarming “poor boy makes good” tale, it’s also a very funny and satiric look at the United States, its history, and culture.
		Forrest Gump is a movie that is completely and unreservedly character-based, with not much of a storyline.
		As I mentioned in the beginning of this review, Forrest Gump also has a liberal helping of satire included in the mix, which provides the necessary humor and sharpness to prevent the story from becoming cloying.

		Despite the fact that Forrest is a bit slower in the head than other individuals, he still manages to learn life’s lessons, including friendship, victory, loss, and most importantly, love.
		Tom Hanks is outstanding as Forrest, and he definitely showcases his talents as an actor as this is a character that Hanks has never portrayed before.
		Forrest Gump is driven by its characters and its script.

	Forrest Gump (1994)
		Sure, Forrest is an improbable character living an improbable life, but Hanks' sweetly matter-of-fact (not to mention Oscar-winning) portrayal of everyone's favorite "runnin' fool" is hard to resist.
		Forrest is what we all occasionally wish we could be — someone who goes through life without second-guessing himself and dwelling on what might have been; he just happens to do it while becoming an integral part of American history.
		Starting things off is "Through the Eyes of Forrest Gump," a 30-minute making-of documentary from 1994 that offers the standard interviews with cast and crew, plenty of gushing about how great it was to work with everyone, and some nice behind-the-scenes footage (it's fun to see Hanks break character and goof around).

	Filmtracks: Forrest Gump (Alan Silvestri)
		Silvestri and Zemeckis showed an astute dramatic sense in the spotting process for "Run Forrest Run;" the moment the music starts is when the leg braces magically fall away from Forrest's legs as he experiences the joy and freedom of running for the first time.
		The emotional farewell between Forrest and Jenny in Washington, DC was accompanied by "Turn, Turn, Turn" by the Byrds.
		While not a masterpiece of film scoring, the score to Forrest Gump is a memorable, melodic effort that remains one of Silvestri's most enjoyable scores.

	Forrest Gump - Alan Silvestri (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Forrest Gump was one of those films that split audiences, at least it did once they'd seen it.
		In the grand tradition of filling movies with period pop songs, Forrest Gump is littered with many 60's and 70's classics, the score thus has to fill in the emotional gaps.
		The Suite from Forrest Gump has been re-recorded a number of times to becomes a compilation staple and the piano theme is a regular contributor to those rather bizarre selections of piano music at the movies.
