I am Forrest Gump. I told the story for the two books and the Gumpisms. I was never paid. Forrest says, "to beware when they are making a film of your life story." That was mine and their way of poking fun I guess. The Forrest story was based on the theme of I Cor. 1: 18-21 of the Bible. It's about God making fun of those that are too high minded to think right and must be taught a lesson by those who are looked as less intelligent or sophisticated. I'll tell you much more when I go public, and Forrest believes 9/11 was an inside job!..:)

Forrest Gump is as relevant now as it was in what the 80's 90's, the man that wrote Forrest Gump is so smart that people probably won't catch up to the meaning for about 100 years. It is Timeless. It doesn't take a genius to be a gazillionar, or someone with a low IQ to be a genius.
"Stupid is as stupid does" if we can't apply what we have learned from the past. Then there is no such thing as an educated person.

hi, i got the chance to watch the movie for the very first time in school as part of a movie review in one of our subjct, after wacthing the film, my professor told us some information and back ground bout its story.

I was really confused and skeptic when he said that the movie was based on true to life as in it really do happened and the characters do exist. So being so skeptic I had my research bout the said film, and none of all my researches proved that the movie was true in reality.

still skeptic..........
could anyone please assured me that the film was only a fictional story and that there was no Forrest Gump in real world who owns the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co...
pleaseeeee......

anybody is free to leave me a message for a film review or discussion bout the movie "forrest Gump" in my email add:

Considering the nature of Forest Gump and the title of this article I imagined a CGI GUmp superimposed on one of the two towers as the planes hit.

I believe certain films should never have a sequel (although Studio Execs hardly ever listen to me anymore) and Forest Gump is one of them.

Admittedly, I once thought a sequel to Toy Story would be a bad idea and I was wrong on that one..

No. No he did not "own" him. Yeah, MickJ said he loved the movie, but if it only "has one or two things wrong with it," pointing out those one or two things (especially if he acts like it's no big deal) is totally uncalled for.

I personally think Tom Hanks would be a little too old to play this part now and if Forrest met Tom Hanks I would boo the screen. I hate crap like that. It's clear that Tom Hanks will be remembered as one of teh world's most beloved actors and I always marvel at how much he loves to talk about his training. A good acting school is worth it’s weight in gold. The key is to find one that caters to your individual needs. Not only do you need the basic tools for auditioning, scene study and the like, but you need a curriculum that works with whatever your schedule may be. Whether you work all day, go to high school or care for your kids, not everyone can study in the traditional way. Another acting program that works this way is Film Connection. http://www.film-connection.com/Acting.html The Film Connection's acting program is affiliated with Joe Anthony studios and fetures valuable one-on-one mentoring. They are also available to anyone living in the United States and have financial aid assisatnce.

Sounds to me like the sequel was pretty much just a collection of pieces extending the "gimmick" from the first of inserting Hanks into historical events. Sounds like standard Hollywood sequel and copycat style. It was the heart of the movie that made Gump good. The humor and the gimmick were just icing. In the end, the character story is what took the film from being easily forgettable to being good cinema. Hard to say, this could be a very unfair quote or description of the sequel, but maybe killing it was one of the few good things to come out of 9/11

I'll have to read the books someday but for the time being I'd rather not see a big screen sequel. Too much time's gone bay and Haley Joel Osmet is too old to play the kid so the recasting would feel weird.

Omg I would LOVE to see this movie come into being. Not that it will, but I'd pay the 8 bucks to see it in the theater, and I've only been to the theater like 3 times in the last 2 years. I'm gonna have to get the book, I guess. Sounds like an entertaining read. I won't hate on the idea, though I do agree it woulda been tough to make just post 9/11. Maybe now is the time...

Enrique Garcia — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 07:30:02 -0000

I'm totally not seeing why 9/11 killed the sequel. I UNDERSTAND why it happened, but it's not a good reason. If you ask me, it should've been the reason to FASTTRACK the movie... Forrest Gump is one of those "ray of hope" type movies, the kind of story that shows anyone can do anything, which is the very thing this country needed after 9/11

If it aint broke, don't fix it. We don't NEED another Forrest Gump movie. The first one said everything it had to say and wrapped everything up with a beautiful ribbon. Making a sequel to Forrest Gump, especially after all this time, reeks of greed, not the sincerity that it should.

So it is true, 9/11 really did change everything

Right on. That's all Gump 2 would be. I mean, really. The story was so implausible as it was, not to mention sappy to the extreme. Besides, does anyone really want to see the further adventures of this guy. I don't.
