| Notes | |
| Theatrical release: July 6, 1994. FORREST GUMP made more than $325 million at the domestic box office and more than $675 million worldwide. The famous, oft-quoted line said by Forrest Gump in the film: "Life is like a box of chocolates," is a total reworking of the original line in the novel which reads: "Let me say this: bein' an idiot is no box of chocolates." "To make Sinise appear to be a double amputee, the filmmakers relied on a combination of computer artistry, a trick wheelchair that hid Sinise's legs from the knees down and a limber actor... Sinise did suffer a minor leg injury while making 'Gump,' ironically during a scene in which Forrest (Tom Hanks) carries him out of the Vietnam jungle. 'My inner thigh kept bouncing on his shoulder. It was like taking a jackhammer to it,' says Sinise. 'I developed a huge contusion and couldn't bend my leg to get into the wheelchair.'" -- USA TODAY, July 7, 1994 | |
| Editorial reviews | |
| "FORREST GUMP is a movie heartbreaker of oddball wit and startling grace..." Rolling Stone - p.98-9 - Peter Travers (07/14/1994) "...A strong sense of narrative coherence....Even more impressive is the use of special effects..." Sight and Sound - p.41-2 - Leslie Felperin (10/01/1994) "...An accomplished feat of cyber-cinema....Hanks's Forrest has an unerring sincerity and charm..." New York Times - p.C9 - Janet Maslin (07/06/1994) "...There is magic in FORREST GUMP..." Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (07/06/1994) "...A story rich in big laughs and quiet truths..." Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (07/06/1994) "FORREST GUMP is beautifully paced, with a surprising amount of time dedicated to the characters just drinking in their surroundings..." A.V. Club - Noel Murray (11/18/2009) | |
