Forrest Gump

August14Image Credit: Click on Image

Forrest Gump is a 1994 American comedy-drama film directed by Robert Zemeckis and written by Eric Roth. It is an adaptation of the 1986 novel of the same name by Winston Groom, and stars Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Gary Sinise, Mykelti Williamson, and Sally Field.

The film follows the life of an Alabama man named Forrest Gump (Hanks) and his experiences in the 20th-century United States. Principal photography took place between August and December 1993, mainly in Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. Extensive visual effects were used to incorporate Hanks into archived footage and to develop other scenes. The soundtrack features songs reflecting the different periods seen in the film.

    Tom Hanks has some really amazing films in his career. At the Mall of America, there is a Forest Gump restaurant and they have this exact photo scene by the entrance. You can sit on the bench next to him for photos.

    That’s such a great movie! That bench is in Orange, CA. We got to sit on it when visiting family. Touristy, I know, but it was kind of cool.

    Haha. I just looked it up, and apparently the bench we sat on is not that the one that was in Forrest Gump! On the plus side, it was a nice place to eat our ice cream. 😂

      Sandee says:

      There are benches here and there. There was one in Miami and I sat on that one. Happy Wordless Wednesday. 🙂

  14. Wing Commander Basil & The B Team – UK – Well, now there's a question! Furstly and most importantly I'm a cat if mew hadn't already guessed. I got my Wing Commander status in September 2018 but that hasn't slowed me up at all! I tweet, Instacat, FB, Tumble & Pin too and now there's Basil TV on YouTube. All in all I'm a thoroughly Modern Cat; a cat of the 21st century, mew might say. My human & Purrsonal Assistant aka P.A. is Cathrine Garnell, and she writes books including a tale about my fictional alter ego, Basil the Bionic Cat. [See Books Page] I live in a multi-cat household, and mew can meet the rest of The B Team here most days of the week, as they all like a turn on the blog. I like mice, but then don't we all? I also like fresh tuna, chicken and prawns. I LOVE catnip, not in any excess I might add before mew jump to any wild conclusions. Thanks so much for dropping by, as we The B Team, love making new furriends, so do leave us a comment and say hi.
    Wing Commander Basil & The B Team says:

    An epic movie, one of our favourites! Thank mew so much for entering our links this week, we really, really appreciate it, as work, life and the unviverse keep stealing all the P.A.’s time at the moment! We wish mew a most epic weekend!

      I’m always happy to link you up and I love this movie too. Need to watch it again. Hugs to you and scritches to the kitties. 🙂
