Forrest Gump [Blu-ray]

Good film

What an amazing movies, phenomenal story with a phenomenal character. Tom Hank, one of the great actors has come up with another scintillating act, breathtaking performance, so natural, poise and realistic. “Life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you’re gonna get” I don’t think any other actor would be able to live up to this performance, seems to me like it was made only for Tom Hank. That setting in a country side reminds me of my early childhood days in the village. What a magical movies. Love it.

Good watch

First of all the blu ray edition is excellent, full of extras and with an accurate HD transfer. About the film, well, after 20 years I still think it is a smart and magnificent example of what American cinema was able to produce until some decades ago: a multilayered and universal masterpiece where everyone can enjoy it according to his own point of view and approach, no matter if just as a emotional and unpredictable, bizarre and funny love story throughout the decades or a more subtle and complex trip through the contraddiction of America and its dream and values. At the end of the day, you can think it's the statement of a liberal director who admits his own side defeat, or a conservative point of view about good old values always surviving to the storms of Histories. To me it is an existential yet genially direct and clear portray of the way life and world goes. Maybe Tom Hanks most stunning performance and a vivid example of Zemeckis' talent. A guy who can master and try every genre, hiding his vision behind a magical storytelling and always a step ahead of times when it comes to special fx and a wise, cinematic way to use them without ever showing off (see also his work on Contact, where the best fx are basically invisible).

The first Gump film was a spellbinding cinematic experience. Watching it with my teen son elevated our shared love for cinema. He was absolutely enchanted by it. The film hosts, arguably, some of the best acting performances we've ever witnessed on screen. The characters truly come alive, making the plot all the more engrossing. A definite 5-star watch, for all film enthusiasts and casual viewers alike. I can confidently say that this is one film that gets better with every rewatch. So go ahead, lose yourself in the wonderful world of Gump.

Must watch movie.

This superb film is the definition of irony, this film has it all through. Forrest Gump a man with learning difficulties, who is gentle, kind and loyal, traits that are not universally found in people. He first came across the other all too common adverse side of the human character cruelty; when alighting on the school bus for the first time - this seats taken - it's taken - this seats taken. Until after walking the gauntlet, while wearing callipers strapped to his legs, a compassionate voice said "you can sit here if you want". She was to become his lifelong friend Jenny. Fate bestowed on him another gift, after being taunted and pelted with stones, Jenny shouted "run Forrest run". [Forrest] "And do you know - I could run like the wind", (callipers flying off ). His running took him through college; they had to stop him - after scoring a touchdown - running out of the end zone and straight out of the stadium. Then Into Vietnam he meets Buba who becomes his good friend, and the compassionate street wise and dry Lieutenant Dan. Their unit gets ambushed, Forrest's automatic supreme act of heroism and selflessness, he extracts his fellow comrades. Forrest was awarded America's highest medal for valour and courage. The Medal of Honour - and could not have gone to a more deserving man. It was well suited in Forrest. He later meets up with Lieutenant Dan, whose life is transformed from cynical depressive, to reconciliation with life, and life was worth living through his friendship in Forrest. Smile when you see the situations he gets himself into. Feel empathy and sorrow when he's cruelly treated. If you have a heart of granite this film will not affect you. If you have a trace of humility - it will get you where it really counts, right in the heart. The music set to the film was outstanding. Stella acting and great scene performances from Gary Sinese - Lt Dan Taylor, Mykelti Williamson - Bubba and Tom Hanks Brilliant very moving film

Great film looking forward to watching this in blu ray.

Tout d'abord le film en lui même est un petit chef d’œuvre d'émotion. Raconté à travers le regard de Forrest Gump, homme qui a un QI inférieur à la moyenne, le sien étant estimé à 75 alors que le QI moyen est situé autour de 100, tous les événements et les personnalités se rapportant aux Etats-Unis sont passés en revue depuis les années 50 jusqu'au années 80. Tom HANKS porte le film sur ses épaules, il excelle dans son rôle, avec des seconds rôles comme Sally FIELD, Gary SINISE et Robin WRIGHT. Cette dernière jouant le rôle de sa seule amie Jenny, dont il est secrètement amoureux, d'ailleurs il est aussi intéressant de faire le parallèle du destin des deux personnages, elle qui a un QI normal et qui est sensé prendre des meilleures décisions, puisque sensée être plus intelligente, justement ne prendra pas un chemin tout indiqué, mais Forrest trouvera toujours un moyen pour la retrouver. Le blu ray en lui même maintenant, tout d'abord vu que les commentaires parlent parfois de plusieurs éditions sur un même film, je parle ici du magnifique Import Espagnol, édition 100ème anniversaire de Paramount. Le blu ray bénéficie d'une image sublime et le son y est aussi excellent, les langues sont en Anglais, espagnol, allemand, italien et en Français, la même version française que celle sortie en salles, pour les sous titres, on retrouve les mêmes langues que pour l'audio, on peut très bien regarder en VOST, c'est impeccable, il y a pas mal de bonus aussi, sous titrés en Français. En plus du blu ray, il y a également la version DVD qui comportent deux disques, sur le premier, le film, seulement en Anglais et en espagnol, pas de vf, sur les sous titres Anglais, espagnol et portugais, pas de sous titres français non plus et sur le deuxième disque, beaucoup de bonus. En plus de ceci, il y a également 5 grandes photos qui sont tirés du film et un poster qui représente l'affiche du film. Et ce n'est pas tout, on retrouve aussi toute la Bande Originale du film situé sur 2 CD à travers 34 titres de classiques américains, le premier CD comporte 16 titres, le deuxième 18 titres, il y a tous les plus grands chanteurs et groupes représentés, Elvis Presley, Joan Baez, Aretha Franklin, The Doors, The Supremes, Gladys Knight et bien d'autres. Le tout est enfermé dans un très beau coffret, qui ressemble à une boîte de chocolats, comme dans le film, il est costaud et très bien fait. Bref, un coffret magnifique, pour tous les amateurs de ce film unique.

I thought i had missed my chance to purchase this version. Obviously Forrest Gump is an all time classic but this rescanned 4K version is top quality, with nice additions such as the metal case, a booklet about the movie, additional blue ray copy and 2 disks of extras. is as good as I had hoped it would be. However, i want to highlight the seller as being top quality. This product travelled all the way from Germany to Canada and while they set a reasonable expectation for delivery as traditional mail can be notoriously slow. Even when it gets to Canada it can take forever to deliver. It actually arrived 10 days earlier than expected and in good condition because of the quality packaging. I ordered on the 1st and it was delivered to my mailbox by the 16th (so it good have been earlier as i didn't collect this week!). Well done MplusL, will have no hesitation ordering from you again.

Artículo de calidad, entregado oportunamente.

Un "niais" génial. Une leçon à retenir : la fidélité à la parole donnée. La simplicité est désarmante.

Bought this to show as part of my therapeutic group. This is a classic movie.
