I rate this movie 5 stars, or 9,5/10. This is one of the 100 Best America movies of All Times (#71 to be more exact) and it is included in the 1000 Best Movies in DVD by Peter Travers. The movie won 6 Oscars, including Best Director for Robert Zemeckis ("Back to the Future"), Picture, and Actor (Tom Hanks speech went like this: "If Forrest Gump was here tonight he'd say: "I went to the Academy Awards AGAIN, and they gave me the Oscar AGAIN!" making reference at his Oscar for Philadelphia the previous year), and Best Effects (there is a great documentary on that in the second DVD on this edition), Best Film Editing, and Best Writing based on Material from Another Medium. Special mention deserves the music on the film, going over most of the hits of the late 50's and the 60's. So if you like R'n'R, go and buy the Soundtrack as well!The movie depicts the story of Forrest Gump, a mentally retarded kid who makes it to the top. That can be understood in, at least, two different ways: 1. Any mentally retarded can do good in America. 2. America is the land of opportunity where anybody who tries hard can make it. But this is a movie, a very good movie. So it's a piece of entertainment, and I just watched the movie today (I just watched a couple of times when I came out 12 years ago), and I had a lot of fun. As an example, when Gump goes to the Army, he is very good just following orders, not even thinking about it, so his Sargent tells him "You must have an IQ of 160!". That, in my opinion, is really funny, and a very witty critic to the Army, where all they need is "robots" who can just obey without even thinking. There is also something remarkable. When Forrest Gump comes back from Vietnam, he happens to be at Washington D.C., where there is a huge demonstration against the War. The city is taken by hippies and pacifists. Jenny, the woman of his dreams, is there. They meet. And her boyfriend smashes her in fornt of him. Forrest Gump, the "baby-killer" from Vietnam, as he is called, defends her violently. But it's obvious that the guy who is a "pacifist" was using violence with her, using bad language and in acts. That is nothing put there by chance. It has a meaning. There was violence in Vietnam, in the war, at home, by the police, but also by the protesters. And that is something that has rarely been told. They were using drugs to "liberate" themselves, but that was -in my opinion- another violent way to express themselves. There are a lot of details like that in the movie, that no one could miss. For instance, when the mother of Forrest Gump tries to enroll him at a Regular Elementary school, the Principal is trying to explain her that Forrest's IQ is below normal, and that he should be going to a special school (there was no inclusion at that time). The mother thinks Forrest should have the same opportunities as anybody else, so she offers herself to do "anything" possible to allow Forrest to go to a regular school. And the Principal takes advantage of her. That is another very intelligent critic to things that, unfortunately, are still happening today. Another thing is when Forrest goes to college. Once he graduates, he tells us in plain English "After 5 years playing football, they gave me a degree". So, after 5 years doing nothing, I graduated anyway. Does it sound famiiar? Read between the lines!To end with this review, I will just say that this is a GREAT movie, very entertaining, well done (the sound in the war scenes is just superb!), a pleasure to watch, with a lot of fun moments, some tender ones, and it tells us a little bit about the history of the US from the 50's to the 80's. It's not that "retarded". It is a very witti one, and it deserves the place it made in the History of Cinema. This is a special edition with 2 DVD's, very CHEAP and highly recommended. If you don't have it in your collection, your collection is "crippled".

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.

consegna amazon sempre veloce e precisa. impeccabile. Sul film che dire. già visto in dvd, blu ray diverse volte, non poteva mancarmi la versione 4k steelbook nella mia collezione videoludica. Film strepitoso cn tante chiavi interpretative. Una volta che inizi a guardare in 4k, non si torna indietro!

Très bon film

Fantastic edition for a fantastic film! Tom Hanks best performance as Forrest Gump, which won Hanks his second best actor Academy Award for the 94' Oscars. Also at the 93' Oscars, the year before, he won the Best Actor Academy Award for Philadelphia. Tom Hanks, you deserve one Oscar after another, and this movie and performance show that!

"Forrest Gump" habe ich schon öfters im Fernsehen gesehen. Vor einiger Zeit entschied ich, die blaue Scheibe in meine Filmsammlung aufzunehmen. Dieser Film hat einfach eine unglaubliche Magie - er verzaubert! Sowas schaffen nur wenige Filme.In dem Film geht es hauptsächlich um das Leben des Forrest Gump, welcher auf einer Parkpank sitzt und Passanten erzählt, was er erlebt hat. Trotz seines IQ von 75 hat er viel erlebt. Allerdings erzählt er auch nur das, was er noch weiß.Der Regisseur Robert Zemeckis hat es geschafft, dass man selber das Gefühl hat, als ob man neben dem Protagonisten sitzt und ihm zuhört.Nach guten zehn Minuten merkt man, ob man diesen Film mag oder nicht.Forrest selber ist stets optimistisch, wenn nicht deswegen sogar naiv. Das ist das Besondere! So beschreibt Forrest z.B. den Regen. An dieser Stelle schmunzelt man auch ein bisschen. Man hängt nicht immer weinend vor diesem Film. Nein, man fühlt mit Forrest. Natürlich gibt es Momente, in denen man wirklich weinen kann.An dem Satz "Das Leben ist wie eine Schachtel Pralinen - Man weiß nie was man kriegt" ist sogar was dran. Jetzt könnte man länger überlegen, was Forrests Mutter wohl einst damit meinte. Ja, Forrest, seine Mutter und seine Freunde schließt man alle ins Herz.Forrest sieht eben fast alles positiv und so kommt der Film auch rüber. Diese Einstellung würde zwar kein Realist befürworten, aber sie ist schön. Das ist herzerwärmend.Eigentlich kann man den Film nicht oft genug schauen. Es gibt viele Details. Gerade auf BluRay macht der Film noch mehr Spaß. Das Bild ist schön scharf. Das gefällt mir! Damals hat man die Blue-Screen-Technik benutzt, um Forrest in geschichtliche Szenen reinzuschneiden. Mir ist es nicht wirklich aufgefallen.Tom Hanks spielt wirklich brilliant. Er bringt den Forrest authentisch rüber. Forrest niedriger IQ lässt diese Person sympathisch wirken.Auch der Soundtrack ist brilliant. Alan Silvestri komponierte dieses bekannte Klavierstück und einige weitere bekannte Songs der Zeitgeschichte sind enthalten.Ab und zu hört man im Film etwas von einem Elvis Presley oder John F. Kennedy.Der Film hat sechs Oscars gewonnen. Alle hat er verdient!Bester Film 1995 - müsste ich mit den anderen Kandidaten des Jahres vergleichen, aber eins ist klar - Forrest Gump ist und bleibt ein Klassiker!Bester Hauptdarsteller - auf jeden Fall verdient, Tom Hanks beste Rolle, super authentischBester Regisseur - auf jeden Fall verdient, er hat es Geschaft dem Film dieses typische Gump-Feeling zu geben.Bester Schnitt - nunja, sowas kann ich nicht wirklich beurteilenBeste Effekte - ja, vor allem was diese Blu-Screen-Technik angehtBestes adaptieres Drehbuch - die Geschichte ist super umgesetzt und unglaublich starkWas man in 142 Minuten bekommt ist der Wahnsinn, wenn der Film nicht sogar noch zu kurz ist. Es wird auch nicht wirklich langweilig, weil man immer wieder Neues entdeckt! Hat man den Film zwei Jahre nicht mehr gesehen, hat man so Manches vergessen!
