[thetigerstar]

Did anyone notice the feather is a symbol for life. If you think about it Life is like a Feather not knowing where its going and it just takes you where it takes you...

[febthemule1]

@thetigerstar nobody cares

[thetigerstar]

@febthemule1 I am sorry but I must do this.

"Fail Troll in the base I repeat Fail Troll in the base!"

[febthemule1]

@thetigerstar apology accepeted

[2300rien]

Un immense film, poignant, déroutant, triste et sublime !! magnifique interprétation de Tom Hank, au sommet de son art tout simplement ! un fil magique ....Lorsqu'il est sorti en 1995, j'ai été subjugué par la beauté de cette oeuvre et même mes enfants maintenant le regarde souvent !

[PurpleScorpion187]

@2300rien yup, thats the point of this opening, showing us how unpredictable life can sometimes be :) (and the biggest example is Forrest's life with him being so naive like a child and becoming so rich and succesffull in the end!) so life really is like a feather :) or, of course, like a box of chocolates ;)))

[dmiraie1]

what a captivating opening scene!!  i wish they'd release a film this meaningful every weekend.. sigh...

[ThEJaT10120]

@DoctorJamming lol ur right. cant believe i never noticed that, seen that movie so many times

[MisterBark]

@DoctorJamming haha yes ! :D ok, so I change my mind: that movie is terrible ! :)

[10000caveman]

I went to savannah for our architectural trip, i sat at the park and listened to that song, it felt sooo good!

[Petiszived]

oh yep...definitely in the top 5 soundtracks along with Cavatina (Stanley Myers), Dexter's tune (Randy Newman), Schindler's list main theme (John Williams) and Moon river (Henry Mancini).

What an inspired company of great artists.

[dmdguy]

"Life is like a box of chocolates, Forest.

You never know what your gonna get. "

fave line of this movie, it's so true.

[crossfireterminator]

choose a movie with Tom Hanks in it and you got a supermovie!!!

[TheQueenJZ]

This open scene still "Beautiful & Precious" . Although it 16 years ago.

[pumpdaddythe1st]

best intro to a movie of all time!

[97Siren]

there's a thunderbolt 1000T on 0:21

[timeslip325]

@97Siren Thats the only reason i looked this up! Yay for the Tbolt getting its 15 minutes of fame! lol

[97Siren]

@timeslip325 sadly the thunderbolt has been taken down.

[timeslip325]

[twotailedavenger]

At 0:21, what's that weird thing on the roof of the building on the left?

[EGGproductions420]

@twotailedavenger this is just a guess, but it might be some sort of an antennae.. im not sure though

[twotailedavenger]

@EGGproductions420

Oh! Now I remember! It's an old air raid siren called a Thunderbolt!

[nickman888]

@twotailedavenger them sirens are very badass, i wish i had one in my town

[nickman888]

@twotailedavenger I love them Thunderbolts, My faverite sirens

[97Siren]

[Mehedlover]

Very beautiful.

[Diswont]

[ppage38]

this was the song that my wedding party and i walked down the isle to...and the best part was that my husband was the one who orchestrated it ♥

[LadyYuzuki]

[GatorCinema]

Luke Shores - Forrest Gump

The setting for this scene is a phenomenal example of setting in the mise-en-scene. A feather is simply drifting in the wind. Sometimes its up in the clouds, where it almost blends in completely so we can't see it, and other times it is influenced by the movement of objects like a passing car or person. The way the camera focuses on it also makes it appear inherently part of this world, an illustration of the metaphor that is the story of Forrest Gump.

[nathanholmes88]

@GatorCinema

thats real talk

[wantedvirus]

@GatorCinema I bet ya gave up Optional Maths in your school life in order to join Optional English.

[xSophimoe]

@GatorCinema wow thanks for doing my homework for me :D

[TheFanboy19]

@GatorCinema I always see that feather and I have to ask. What is the point of the feather? Is it suppose to mean something in this movie. If you have an answer please tell me, I really need closure on this question.

[ayeayebadman]

this music made me cry the first time i heard it.its so nice and the film is my absolute favourite of all time.every time i see it i end up feeling good about life!

[PS3TotalOGx]

@ayeayebadman Alright....gay...

[Martinielsen1983]

And then u faced the reality, and saw USA throw napalm in a childs face and fly airplanes into their own buildings in NY. Wake the fuck up..

[dietcokenewipodnano]

[KnightMD]

[elvisismymother]

Unbelievably good.

[yuzori001]

I love the sound

[SunSatlON]

(:  :)

[sickVoDKa]

Holy hell!The roof on the building on the far left has a Thunderbolt siren on it or so appears to my eyes.

[nickman888]

@sickVoDKa HELL YEAH MAN!!!!!!!

[Wardrummer1980]

Reminds me of the story of the passport in the 911 events bush being forrest gump the feather being the passport .

The book being a terrorist book of names. matching the passport to the terroist organizations. then that gotcha look at after the suitcase closes

[Acoontey]

Omg I was there! this movie was actually shot in Savannah Georgia! I was there for a school field trip ;D

[vaja95]

It has been a dream since I was little to have this melody as my wedding-march :D And I'm still dreaming of it, but I just have to find me husband first haha :)) <3 <3

[velaro3]

Beautiful, and great quality too. Of course, I was nearly driven to violence when I saw the added smileys. Hey, I'm a purist. :P

[gnoeldlareme]
