Dick Cavett

[MrMatto91]

Fuck you Mark Chapman. I doubt you will ever get parole for what you did.

[Caravandrums]

thanks for it in English

[TheDilligan]

Isn't that freakin awesome how they did this stuff in that movie

[brandaddy0]

<3 RIP John, you didn’t have to die on this day 31 years ago. :(

[GouledXD]

@brandaddy0 and for no particular reason somebody shot him.

[tinkerbellys12]

haha wtf

[distancerunner7]

This whole scene is a play off of John Lennon's song Imagine

[789TheBeatles]

@distancerunner7 obviously

[KenFromBeara]

@distancerunner7 whoever is doing lennon's voice isn't doing a good job

[LonlyHeartsClubBand]

Finally, I found it, non of the others actually work on youtube. -.-

haha

I like it how its kinda bad quality, so you cant tell that they've just put Forrest in there, and the actual footage is a good 20 years older than him :L haha

[coffe1998]

I think i jizzed

[kalinga01]

lol they replaced yoko with forrest

[SPICYCONDA]

i wonder how they did this scene and the one where he's with the president. You can tell it's fake, but god damn he did a good job for the time..R.I.P John Lennon

[Crede06]

"It's easy if you try Dick"

[wannabelegion]

If I had a dollar for every pixel in this clip I would have one quarter, but at least it's not in spanish

[LonlyHeartsClubBand]

@wannabelegion amen to that.

[tabularasaconfirmed]

@wannabelegion The others were actually in Italian haha, but still

[stetim]

Betty Rollins Legs.

watch?v=uPowBNpEdQg&t=6m50s

[baronvg]

When I was younger when this movie was out, I totally didn't catch the fact that Forrest was supplying the lyrics to Imagine. I thought John Lennon was just butting in. But now I know and this scene is even greater for it.

[RebelQueen65]

i just love forest gump face, and john quoting imagine. :)

[zachedwards92]

i never knew it but one of the guys that won the oscar for special effects for this lives in my hometown. haha

[BOBloblawsLAWbombLOB]

i love this clip! Especially at the end where the look as if he is piecing what he said together and making the song on the spot...incredible...Lennon, gone but never forgotten

[videogamenostalgia]

That is an AWFUL John Lennon impression!!! Sounds more like Paul!

[Chris2O09]

Amazing how they did this and who's idea it was is brilliant.

[BeatleJohnGeorge]

I would kill my self if my name where dick :D

[nexusutube]

I'm been watching the original interview and at one point John mentions wanting to go to China and mentions ping pong. I'm surprised they didn't use that part as well.

[grands1am]

The voice isn't the best, but having Lennon conceive of "Imagine" and get all serious-looking - that's great

[chibichibi9981]

This is the best part of Forrest Gump! :D

[cofojeremy]

its not john lennons voice for many down below wondering....the guy who did the voice for the movie is Joe Stefanalli...(sorry for the spelling)...but he's a john lennon impersonator. :)

[codename617]

@cofojeremy yeah, it's no wonder why a couple of the videos i found were in Italian.

[xtrmsprts]

yeah the Communist "Republic" of China is the real embodiment of Lennon's utopian classic Imagine .... right.

[ChrisZimny]

@xtrmsprts right.

[painteat]

thats not johns voice

[MarthaMyDear999]

@painteat derrr

[TheBestQuiet]

@painteat it is John's voice...

[phlizmo]

@TheBestQuiet ah jeeez its not johns voice people

[FortFrolicLover]

How the hell did they do it?!?!

[OtakuThreeThousand]

@FortFrolicLover Darn them whippersnappers and their new technological thigamajiggers!

[tabacoytekila19]

@FortFrolicLover time machine.

[nafruito]

Great. :D I love Forrest Gump, and this is one of my favorite scenes. I'm a huge Lennon fan, so that last line always gets me. I love Forrest's simple and innocent way of talking; it's just so beautiful, and well suited especially about John's death.

[MrTincho88]

jejeje estar al lado de un genio...

y sin querer lo inspiras para que componga su canción más famosa, jejeje.

Puede ser la parte más triste de la peli (junto con la de las muertes de Bubba, la madre de Forrest y la de Jenny, claro)

[Beatleboy62]

I love how it's implied that Forrest Gump accidentally inspired John to write the song 'Imagine'

[heathledgergirl54]

it doesnt really sound like him

[anothernicemess]

sounds more like George

[Cimmcia]

wow i feel like crying thats so sad

but thats still bull

[Poleyonline]

its hard to imagine, its easy if you try haha

[xSukai]

I love this movie... You can cry, laugh, remember. This is just one of the scenes though... where I had to cry. R.I.P John Lennon. ):

[arikharris]

I like this, but that doesn't sound like John...

[248sqnrnewman]

@arikharris lol its coz its not john its by a man called Joe Stefanelli he is in a tribute band for the beatles

[makohfuck]

No possesion... no religion too. - Hard to imagine. - It's easy if you try. | Great! :D

[StarrX09]

@makohfuck  suptle hints to famous things and songs ha its great

[iamthewalrus139]

thats the saddest part of the whole movie

[dani9005]

i cry too everytime i see that part..

[jammcy]

genius

[Michikuchan]

saddest part in the whole movie.

I cry every time I see it.

[joyboy10]

mee too

[anothernicemess]

if you look at it today, maybe. one thing i notice in this scene is how lennon's footage clashes with the rest (he is the only "authentic" one in this shot, cavett was just made up to look younger); I can't really place it, but he looks blurrier... as if john's footage was shot with tv cameras, and the rest with motion picture film. tom and dick look sharper. also, I saw this video back to back with the snippett from where john's footage was taken, and you can tell dick's older here.
