We all know the phrase: “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you will find “. Tom Hanks hands it over to a stranger who joins him on a park bench in his Oscar-winning car. Forrest Gump, directed by Robert Zemeckis. there is also a Box Of Chocolates version of the film on a DVD somewhere. And while the scene has become legendary and perhaps one of the most famous moments in Hanks’ career, he didn’t really think about the park bench scenes Forrest Gump they were a sure thing, and he asked Zemeckis if anyone cared.
Tom Hanks has seen more behind-the-scenes elements of cinema than most people will ever experience, so when he talks about the filmmaking process, it’s smart to stop and listen. The Elvis The co-star was recently in Memphis to promote Baz Luhrmann’s musical biopic and sat down with him Official Gossipify ReelBlend Podcast for a discussion about the new film and his career. It was during this conversation that Hanks talked about shooting out of sequence moments without ever really knowing how they will turn out in the final film. port Forrest Gump, a film that allegedly saved and developed:
I tell you, in Forrest Gump, everything we shot on the park bench in Savannah, Georgia was just shooting interstitials. We were just filming material for a potential narrative piece. And I said to Bob (Zemeckis): ‘Will anyone care about this madman sitting on a (bench)? What is it? Nobody knows what’s in that (box), I mean … ‘And we ended up shooting, it was probably like, you know, 13 pages of dialogue that we had to do in a day and a half. And so it was written on the slats. (E) After a while I didn’t need the splints because we got along well. But Bob says, ‘I don’t know, it’s a minefield, Tom, it’s a minefield. You never know what will be taken away from him! And it ends up being, you know, this thing.
Forrest Gump it’s a sprawling story that covers a lot of ground, from the character’s childhood in Alabama in the 1950s to today … when Forrest is sitting on that park bench. Hanks probably knew of the large amount of footage they were shooting for the title character’s historical journey and wondered how those seemingly unusual scenes on the park benches were related to the larger story. But as he explains to ReelBlend:
There comes a time when, I think, an actor who makes a film realizes that you have to forget everything. You have to forget all the distractions about what’s going on, because it’s really a recovery. It’s a moment in real time, captured in real time. That’s 13 seconds, or that’s two minutes of a scene. And it’s not just a chalkboard, say it, cut it, action. In fact, you have to be there somehow… you don’t want to honk, but it has to be there, it has to bring with it, in this scene, every moment of the film’s theme. It has to represent it. And if you can’t go, you’re screwed, man. You’re screwed. So you have to forget all these things and try to make them happen.
You’ll find out how far Tom Hanks has come in the process of playing Colonel Tom Parker in the near future Elvis biopic, that is earning praise from the Presley family (the best possible review this movie can get). You may not like Tom Hanks in this movie because Tom Parker is an evil man who manipulates Elvis (Austin Butler) at all times. You have to see it for yourself how good is Austin Butler on paper because the film will be released in theaters on June 24th.
