#diwrektors-cut

This week: DiWREKtor's Cut takes on a film with 6 Academy Awards, a star-studded cast (including JFK, Elvis, and John Lennon), and a soundtrack that sold over 12 million copies! You know him, you love him, the one, the only...FORREST GUMP! "Forrest Gump" is a 1994 comedy-drama based on the 1986 novel of the same name. Directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Tom Hanks, "Forrest Gump" follows the story of a slow-witted, lovingly curious Alabama man and his lifetime of experiences in 20th century United States. The soundtrack for this movie features classic American hits and a score beautifully composed by Alan Silvestri. Through Forrest's eyes we see monumental moments in American history contextualizing his journey of love and loss in life. He'll make you laugh, he'll make you cry, and today, he'll take on 91.1 FM!
