Yeah thought that too 😅

[@warmhandswarmheart]

Tom Hanks was on Graham Norton and explained that originally, Forrest was not going to talk that way. The actor they chose as young Forrest Gump talked that way. They really liked him and wanted to hire him. Rather than making a child change his manner of speaking, Tom Hanks changed HIS speech to match. Ironically, the actor changed his speech as he got older and didn't speak that way as an adult.

And what a coincidence that the infamous bus stop scene should be shot in Savannah, where my family moved to, from Beaufort. Wow.

what a good film

[@lawrencequave7361]

I've taken movies of family and Scouts using a digital camera then spent hours with Premiere Pro editing sound and video into a story maybe 10 minutes long and IT WAS TOUGH. What we just saw was the very difficult but visible part of movie making. What we didn't see was all the work the movie editor has to do after shooting stops to take tens of hundreds if not thousands of scenes and put them all together to make something people will enjoy watching. In my opinion, the editor and his staff never get the recognition they deserve for the FINAL making of a movie. Acting and directing, etc. are necessary, of course for a great movie, but it's the never-ever-seen Editor who has the final say, so to speak, in whether the movie truly is a masterpiece. My 'hats off' to all of you motion picture editors.

[@daneast]

Incredible they filmed a movie of this scale that fast. You hear of movies whose production and shooting go totally off the rails, but this one was done amazingly fast for the incredible amounts of scenes and variety it contains, plus all the complexity of the shots.

[@DanK123]

Tons of planning can do that, but it's not easy.

[@captureinsidethesound]

This is likely because the crew and actors had respect for one another so efficient communication and consolidated problem solving was in play. From what I was told by a friend who works with actors/crew members on set, some directors/actors are REALLY controlling, aggressive, toxic and arrogant for no reason other than the fact they can without suffering any form of discipline. She said the nicest actors she worked with was Nicholas Cage and Will Ferrell. Her worst was Meryl Streep, at least for that particular movie. She said Cage randomly took her whole team out to eat and then bought an Xbox for someone who wanted one. She said Ferrell is like the complete opposite of who he acts like on film, very respectful and shy.

I love how Zemeckis talks about how hard it is to film anything near water, and then he goes on to make Cast Away with Tom Hanks not long after this, where almost the entire movie takes place in or near water

One of the best films ever made!

I love this movie and have watched it so many times. Sometimes when I see something in my life and times in my own community, even in 2022,....like an old southern looking house, or an area that feels like the south. (I live in Columbus, Ohio), and there are neighborhoods that are quite old with old original houses, I will quietly recite parts of the dialog to myself. I was born in 1953, and I can relate to a lot of the topics and times in this movie. Certainly the war in Viet Nam, I didn't serve, but was on the home fronts protesting,..going to sit-ins, marching with others. I was a hippie, but I was too young to have gone to Woodstock. If I lived in the area of it,....yeah, I would have tried to go. That was in 1969,...and I was 16. I was naive and had no money or means to travel. Even though I had hitch-hiked to Ann Arbor, Michigan, in 1970. Classically, a VW mini-bus filled with longhairs, strangers to us, but like myself, picked me and best friend, up,....and got us stoned the whole trip up there. They found us a place "to crash", where hippie chicks, fed us.

i still cant get over the fact how the woman in this movie treated forrest gump, its heartbreaking, she had all the fun she could have had in her life, messed up and only then at the end they come together. And Forrest ran all his life for her.

She was broken, probably had PTSD, that's not fair to say. And just because he wanted her, doesn't mean he gets her.

[@animeco3297]

@@doveandpatch at the end they got together because her young pretty time was over, that lifestyle is pretty common. Having fun when you are young and pretty and then settle in for life. What i try to say is, she was egoistic she didnt want to have a "boring" life. But when she had no more potential to have the fun life she immediately got with him.

Thank you, this was fantastic.

Literally watching a legend in the making seeing them in the process of doing this film not knowing how huge and popular it would become
