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

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..."
