I wish they made a nod to this scene in Elvis

Forrest is the beautiful slice-of-life movies that they only make once in a lifetime👍👍 the beautiful thing is also that most of the time, Forrest probably doesn't even know how amazing a person he is, but that only makes him even more charming and one of the greatest protagonists ever. At least he got to spend a little time with his Jenny, who never deserved to live the harsh life that she did, and he took great care of her till the end. What a legend

clever film editing that they did keeping Elvis's face out of focus so that the transposing would look and age better.

Did he teach Michael Jackson the Moonwalk too ?

[@ElissaStark514]

I actually heard MJ did get that up on his toes thing from Elvis

[@ColtComanche]

No. That was Dr. Sam Becket

i didn't understand Forrest Gump as child and i still loved it but as I grew older and learning more about literature, history, and even pop culture, it's fun rewatching it and it just makes sense more and more to me and love it more

This movie is just masterpiece

I can't believe Forrest Met Elvis, I feel like he met his soul!

[@fargeeks]

Hey I can't believe he's a president and met one as well

Самый шикарный момент! Один из самых крутых в фильме!

[@deathofasalestactic]

this film has too many deaths :(

@Hol M Yep. My dad always said, there will be a time in my life when everybody around me starts dropping like flies. Too bad my dad left me before he could be one of those flies in my eyes. I guess he'll always be alive if I never know he's dead.

I love that sally field is the mom in like every movie ever. She’s so great

[@Keegeth]

This movie was so perfect

[@josephpham9078]

I really liked how they blurred his face but you could still make the outline that it was Elvis.

[@Solidier1]

It's great they casted Kurt Russell as Elvis since his first film was him kicking Elvis leg at a theme park in one of his films and played Elvis theme films later on. Also Tom Hanks as Elvis manager in another film. If only the kid playing Forest would do a Elvis film and this scene would come full circle for Elvis.
