Introduction:

Forrest Gump is a 1994 drama film based on a 1986 novel by Winston Groom and the name of the title character of both. The film was a huge commercial success, earning US$677 million worldwide during its theatrical run (the top grossing film in North America released that year). The film garnered a total of 13 Academy Award nominations, of which it won six, including Best Picture, Best Visual Effects, Best Director (Robert Zemeckis), and Best Actor (Tom Hanks).

The movie begins with a feather falling to the feet of Forrest Gump sitting at a bus stop in Savannah, Georgia. Forrest picks up the feather and puts it in a book, then tells the story of his life to a woman seated next to him (the listeners at the bus stop change regularly throughout his narration, each showing a different attitude towards Gump’s narration, ranging from disbelief and indifference to rapt veneration).

Forrest is shown to have been taught much about life by his mother. Forrest often recalls her favorite sayings, including “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get” and “Stupid is as stupid does.” Both sayings became popular catchphrases following the movie’s release. Other people who play key roles in Forrest’s life include Jenny Curran, a childhood friend who is physically and sexually abused by her father; Benjamin Buford “Bubba” Blue, a young black shrimper who serves with Forrest in the Vietnam War and knows “everything there is to know about shrimping”; and Lieutenant Dan Taylor, under whose command Forrest and Bubba serve. A few years after the war is over, Forrest proposes marriage to Jenny. She turns him down. Later that evening they have sex. In the morning she disappears. To cope with his heartbreak, Forrest runs across the country for three and a half years. He is called “a Gardener from Greenbow, Alabama”, in news reports about his country length runs, but we do not see him gardening.
