They both handle the character of Forrest Gump differently, but neither one is a bad interpretation. Therefore, I don’t think I can accurately say which I thought was better. I love the movie and I had seen it many times before I read the book.
He isn’t as close with his mother in the book as he is in the movie. Also, Forrest’s mother and Jenny do not die in the book. In the book, the line is “Being an idiot is no box of chocolates.” The character Jenny has a normal childhood in the book, whereas she has an abusive and alcoholic father in the movie. One of the most iconic lines in the movie, “”Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get,” is not exactly in the book. In the book, Forrest is also a championship chess player, a professional wrestler, an astronaut, and a candidate in Senator elections. He does not run across the United States. For example in the book, the character of Forrest does not require leg braces. Many of the adventures are the same and Forrest has a low IQ in both. But many aspects about the character of Forest are noticeably changed. The synopsis of both the book and the movie are very similar. The 1994 film stars Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, and Gary Sinise. The book also has a sequel, released in 1995, called Gump and Co.
The book had sold about 30,000 copies before the release of the film. The book was written by Winston Groom and released in 1986. The film is also known for it’s many quotable line (Ex: “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get”)īut did you know that the hit 1994 film was originally based off a book? I found this out over the last break and was pretty surprised that I hadn’t heard of it. It won Best Picture at the 67th Academy Awards, where Tom Hanks also won Best Actor for his portrayal of the titular character Forrest Gump. Forrest Gump is one of those movies that everyone has seen and pretty much everyone likes.
