Forrest Gump (2 Disc Special Collector's Edition) [1994]

Very good film.

The film arrived before time, in excellent condition. The film itself was fantastic a wonderful story. I have Vought from momo severa times and have always found them superb to deal with.

Really great movie.

Such a great film

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).

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

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.

I'm not really sure what I can say about this movie. If you haven't seen it before, you're doing yourself a huge disservice. I believe it was released my sophomore year in high school and I probably watched it 20 times that year. I annoyed the he'll out of a lot of my friends, because any time a group of us were hanging at my house, if someone in the group hasn't seen it that's what we watched. So quite a few of my friends were forced to sit through more viewings than they cared to. I make no apologies, it's worth more than 1 viewing. This is 1 of those movies that you stop and watch every time you catch it while you're flipping through your channel guide, even though you own it in multiple formats already. It's 1 of those movies that if you haven't seen it in over a year or so you feel compelled to throw it in and watch. The story is fantastic. The soundtrack is perfect. Tom Hanks is unbelievable (can you possibly fathom, even for a brief instant, anyone else playing Gump)? The only negative thing that I can say about this movie is, as great as it was, it didn't deserve the best picture Academy Award it won. Only because competition was ridiculous that year and I believe without question that Pulp Fiction should have won. But I won't get into that argument. I'm not going to give a book report for you guys and go into details about the plot, not only do I personally hate reviews that do that, but in this case I find it hard to believe that anyone reading this isn't already familiar with the plot. But I will say the blu ray transfer is fantastic. Now I'm no expert on picture quality, so there could be some fine details that the videophiles are always talking about that I don't notice. But just using the "eye test" I didn't regret my purchase in the least. I had just bought the samsung js8500 4k suhd tv before watching this, so I'm not comparing it directly with the same hardware I watched the dvd on, but I think that watching on a superior tv would reveal more flaws if they were there, and I didn't notice any. The sound transfer also sounded great, albeit not on the greatest sound system. I'm using the vizio 5.1 wireless soundbar setup. If you haven seen this movie yet and you're older than 16, then you have no excuse and I really don't know what to say to you. If you're just wondering if this transfer is worth your money, I'd have to answer with a resounding yes. Hope this helps.

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.

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.

Great...
