This article is about the film. For other uses, see Forrest Gump (disambiguation). Forrest Gump is a 1994 American comedy-drama film based on the 1986 novel of the same name by Winston Groom. The film was directed by Robert Zemeckis and stars Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Gary Sinise, Mykelti Williamson, and Sally Field.
Forrest Gump is a fable. Fables donât offer real-world mental-health diagnoses. If we were reading Aesop or the Brothers Grimm, Forrest would have been described as a âsimpleâ young man, one prone to amazing life-changing coincidences. The metaphor of the film is the feather borne on the wind.
