Forrest Gump

I believe he said it rained for 4 months.

You haven't told us enough to even make a guess. If there is NOTHING marked on the gun except the eagle, I'd say the manufacturer wasn't very proud of his work, so it's probably not much of a prize.

Launched in 1996, inspired by the film Forrest Gump.

The feather that is in the opening and closing scenes of "Forrest Gump" is a metaphor for the main theme of the movie - whether we have a destiny we have to live up to or whether we are just floating, randomly, like a feather on a breeze. In the end he comes to feel that life is a little bit of both, with both maybe happening at the same time. Like the feather, as Forrest tells his story, you don't really know what direction his tale is going to take until he tells it.

The character of Lt. Dan who loses his legs while in Vietnam is a metaphor for a crippled America, torn apart by the controversy of the Vietnam War. Lt. Dan had always believed that his destiny was to die for his country. He could not come to terms with living the rest of his life in a wheelchair and says to Forrest, "This wasn't how it was supposed to be. This wasn't supposed to happen," mirroring the American people's sentiment towards the war.

The person wearing the American flag shirt, who asks Forrest, "Tell us a little bit about the war, man" is supposed to be real-life war-protester Abey Hoffman. Richard D'Alessandro played the part.

It was probably filmed about 2 years prior to its release in 1994.

He sits in Chippewa Square, which is located at the corner of West Hull and Bull Street.

Forrest went to Washington, D.C. to receive his Metal of Honor. While there, he comes across an anti-war rally. There is no reference to a particular "march" of historical significance.

Forrest Gump revolves around a simple, and simple-minded man and his many adventures from childhood to near middle age. The amazing thing about the character of Gump is his profound influence on those who know him best. Forrest seems to be the underdog but has a quiet strength in his honesty and loyalty.

The writer is Winston Groom.

The word as it was used in the movie referred to African-Americans who taking classes at a previously all white college. It's a derogatory slang word for blacks.

All living creatures have a purpose in life. When they have fulfilled that purpose, they have met their journey's end; their destiny (destination). Forrest's Mother gave him a clue, "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get." (Translation-NO one knows their fate (destiny). "The Answer, my friend, is Blow'in in the Wind...", (Bob Dylan, 1963) by Peter, Paul, and Mary. When Bob Dylan wrote this song, he did it with a philosophical take on life, meaning...NO ANSWER. (Because, NO one knows their fate (destiny)-including Bob Dylan). Only those that have completed the journey, know the answer...because they've earned it, by reaching their destiny. Another interpretation is that the feather represents both Lieutenant Dan Taylor's belief that people have a destiny, and his mother's belief that people's lives are all floating around "accidental...like on a breeze." Forrest speaks of this to Jenny at her grave and opines, "I think, maybe it's both. Maybe both can happen at the same time." The floating feather, and the manner it comes to and then blows away from Forrest, is symbolic of this.

As are most characters in the movie, Forrest Gump's mother is a foil to his character. These supplementary character have no purpose in the general scheme of the movie other than to advance the plot and help the Protagonist discover himself on his journey. She relates to Forrest by using metaphors and similies because she knows the state of his mental cogniscence. For instance, "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get" and "Mama say's my backs as crooked as a politician but these braces gonna make them straight as an arrow". Forrest does not relate to normal explanations of things, so his mother tries to make sense of the world for him. Many things she says are very conflicting and do not provide him any insight, but rather confusion, which leads him to discover his own way. His journey is affected by the foils, such as his mother, who make him who he is.

The main setting for the movie "Forrest Gump" is Forrest's hometown of Greenbow, Alabama. Secondary locations for the movie are Savannah, Georgia, Vietnam, New York City and Washington, D.C. There are also scenic shots across America from when Forrest did his coast-to-coast run.

Lt. Dan Taylor was Forrest Gump's CO in the movie. I don't who Captain Dan is.

Bubba and Forrest never caught shrimp together unfotunately. But prior to the war Bubba shrimped somewhere in Alabama, as did Forrest after the war.

The movie does not tell us definitively how many times Forrest crossed America. When he set out from his home in Alabama, he headed west - the first coast he reached was the west coast (as evidenced by his arrival at the Santa Monica pier.) He was then shown arriving at what is presumed to be the east coast. From there, the journey is shown in a musical montage. At one point, a TV news anchor introduces a story saying that "for more than two years now, a man named Forrest Gump…has been running across America." The reporter covering the story goes on to say, "for the fourth time on his journey across America, Forrest Gump…is about to cross the Mississippi Riveragain today." Forrest kept on running after that crossing, eventually stopping in the desert. At that point he stated, "I had run for three years, two months, fourteen days and sixteen hours."

That was Highway 163.

No but it was a great story anyway.
