1Imagery-from-Forrest-Gump
Summary Forrest Gump is now 30 years old, and from its toxic love story to its blatant whitewashing of American history, there are a lot of tough realities to face when rewatching it today. When it was released in 1994, Forrest Gump became one of the highest-grossing movies ever made and won six Academy Awards, including Best Picture .
9 At 142 Minutes, Forrest Gump Outstays Its Welcome One of the biggest obstacles to a film’s rewatchability is a bloated runtime. If a movie is a lot longer than it needs to be, then it’ll be harder to get through on a second or third viewing. It: Chapter Two didn’t need to be anywhere near three hours long. Django Unchained is less rewatchable than most Quentin Tarantino movies because its tacked-on final act makes the movie longer than it needs to be.
7 Complex Historical Figures Are Reduced To One-Note Cameos At times, Forrest Gump can feel like an Avengers movie with cameos from Marvel superheroes swapped out for cameos by American historical figures. He gives Elvis Presley his signature dance move. He witnesses Governor George Wallace trying to block integration at the University of Alabama. He meets more presidents than a Smartless host.
5 The Movie's Structural Issues Stand Out On A Rewatch All told, Eric Roth’s script for Forrest Gump is a pretty impressive feat of screenwriting. Forrest Gump is full of quotable dialogue, it tells a reasonably compelling story, and every character from Forrest to Jenny to Bubba to Lieutenant Dan has their own distinctive personality. But from a structural standpoint, the script is a total mess.
