This movie is a little schmaltzy at times, but I love it and the acting is so brilliant.

This was one of the pioneering movies of integrating cgi with live action that looked as realistic as possible. These old news events with Tom Hanks in them look real most of the time, the John Lennon one was rough. Not only did this win best picture and lots of acting awards, it won a lot of technical awards as well.

Most people, outside of Alabamians, at least born since the release of Forrest Gump, have no idea who the Alabama Crimson Tide head football coach was, who is portrayed as having recruited the "local idiot" to play NCAA college football for the University of Alabama. Those of us who are old enough to remember the legendary Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant, regardless of what college football program we grew up following across the US (I grew up in Waco, Texas, so mine was the Baylor Bears), recognized him immediately by his "signature" houndstooth-print trilby hat. He coached at Maryland (1945), Kentucky (1946-53), Texas A&M (1954-57), and, most memorably, Alabama (1958-82). In 38 seasons, his teams won 323 games ( a .780 winning percentage). As the Head Coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide, he coached them to SIX NCAA National Titles, 13 SEC Championships, and 24 consecutive Bowl appearances, which was EVERY ONE of his UofA seasons. He was named National Coach of the Year 3 times, an award that now bears his name; 12 times SEC Coach of the Year; and inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1986. Over his 38-year career, coach Paul "Bear" Bryant's players received 67 All-America honors. At Alabama alone, his players were named first-team All-Americans 46 times, including 21 consensus All-Americans.

Before OPRAH, daytime and evening talk television in the US was Phil Donahue, Mike Douglas, Merv Griffin (creator of Wheel of Fortune), and Dick Cavett, who is portrayed in Forrest Gump interviewing the Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient with John Lennon commenting on Forrest's descriptions of life in Vietnam. Imagine... It's easy if you try, Dick. While most people think that it was the dogged and intrepid Washington Post duo of reporters, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, who brought down the Presidency of Richard Milhous Nixon, they had lots of outside help/competition. Chief among them was Dick Cavett and his nighttime news and entertainment talk show. On August 1, 1973, Cavett famously physically relocated his show to the Senate Watergate Committee hearing room in Washington, D.C. He interviewed several committee members from the witnesses' "hot seat," including Vice-Chairman Senator Howard Baker and Senator Lowell Weicker. Outside of nightly network news, The Dick Cavett Show devoted more airtime to Watergate than any other program from 1972 to 1974. He interviewed nearly every major figure involved. Cavett’s persistent coverage made him a target of President Richard Nixon. White House tapes revealed Nixon asking aides, "Is there any way we can screw him?" and Cavett was mentioned roughly 26 times on the recordings. Following this, several members of Cavett's staff reportedly faced IRS tax audits. Cavett acted as the "eyes and ears" for his audience, using his wit (for a time, he had been a staff writer for The Tonight Show for hosts Jack Parr and Johnny Carson) to cut through political jargon. During his interview with Senator Baker in the hearing room, Cavett remarked that sitting in the witness chair made him feel "guilty," to which Baker famously replied, "You might be the first one".

Thank you for being the first reactors who get that Jenny was a victim, damaged and she kept Forrest at arm's length because a) she didn't think she was good enough for him b) she didn't want to hurt him. Even when she slept with him, you could tell she thought it was a mistake. Also, she married him before she died because that cements any custody issues he might have with keeping little Forrest. Because back then, a mentally challenged male adult keeping custody of a little boy would have been problematic unless there was something formal in place.
