But the young Alabaman with an IQ of 75 is a thoroughly decent man, who manages to become involved in every major event in American history. And he survives them all with only honesty and niceness as his shields. Thanks to his where-there's-a-will-there's-a-way Mama, Forrest believes in himself. This sees him through being taunted by bullies, playing college football, the army, a business, and -- amazingly -- many of the touchstone events of the Sixties and Seventies: civil rights battles, the Vietnam War, anti-war protests, opening relations with China. The story's extraordinary conceit is that this man, equal parts Candide and Winnie-the-Pooh, was there whenever something big happened to America in those years, meeting Presidents and pop stars, influencing thinkers and trends, his story being our story as a nation.Disc 2 special features: Through the eyes of Forrest Gump [featurette] (30 min.); Screen tests [featurettes] (8 min.); Building the world of Gump: Production design [featurette] (7 min); Seeing is believing: The visual effects of Forrest Gump [featurette] (37 min.); Through the ears of Forrest Gump: Sound design [featurette] (14 min.); The magic of makeup [featurette] (8 min.); Trailers (5 min.); photo gallery [slide show].Winner, 1995 Academy Awards for Best Visual Effects: Ken Ralston, George Murphy, Stephen Rosenbaum, andAllen Hall; Best Film Editing: Arthur Schmidt; Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium: Eric Roth; Best Actor in a Leading Role: Tom Hanks; Best Picture: Wendy Finerman, Steve Starkey, and Steve Tisch; and Best Director: Robert Zemeckis.
