there will never be a movie even similar to this ever again.this is the first and the last movie that i would call a masterpiece 100/10. I'm so grateful to my boyfriend, who just recently showed me this movie :) i cried almost through the whole thing
Film trickery has always been a thing. Lumier Bros. Train Arrival, arguably the first commercial film ever, was shot using trick shots, and From Here to the Moon used a LOT of special effects.
This what happens to Jenny at the end of the movie she turns into a bird cause she wished to be a bird in her youth and after she died God gave her her wish which explains the feather at the start and end
My opinion ,,Feather referred to forrest gump himself.. I think his brain is weighting a feather taking him on the top "successes" and the wind "life" swing him all around
+Labyrinth Fan Actually, the main point of the feather was that they fly in the air wherever the wind takes them and land on the ground wherever the wind takes them and Forrest had something in common with that feather where Forrest didn't know who in his life he will meet, where he will go in his life, what he will do in his life, etc. where he felt he will go wherever the wind takes him just like the feather goes where the wind takes it. That was the main reason he picked it up here and put it in his briefcase feeling he has something in common with it.
i just visited Savannah, GA (where this scene was filmed) and one of the coolest things the tour guide pointed out was this square and that church with the tall steeple ;)
"Why the feather? Why the feather?" Movie viewers got their answer 142 minutes later, just as the feather flew into the camera and everything went black. So masterful. A friend told me a little about this movie soon after it came out. I asked him, "Well, what's it about?" and he really couldn't tell me. (How can you properly describe it?) At times it's hilarious, at other times heartbreakingly sad. The great mysteries of life, love and loss so beautifully bound in one unforgettable movie.
"I dont know if momma was right, or if it's lieutenant Dan. I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if were all just floating accidental like on a breeze, but I think... maybe it's both. Maybe it's both happening at the same time."
Few month ago, I found a black feather with a green-red-ish edge on the sidewalk. I picked it up, and carried it in my hand, and still have it in my house, on a table.
My favorite movie by a long shot. I watch it at least twice a year. It takes me all over the emotional roller coaster.....crying one minute....laughing out loud the next. Best movie ever made!
i was born in 1957 and all of you fellow boomers i know will say it was the most incredible growing up years anybody, past or present, could ever possibly have wanted.
When i first watched this movie i was 10 years old and when i heard the oppening it touched my heart so much that i was ready to cry and know i'm 17 and when i watched forest gump i was crying.
This score has a Japanese counterpart in the score composed for Hirokazu Kore-Eda's masterpiece "Maborosi", both are outstanding as the movies they were composed for.
Don Burgess should have won the Academy Award this year for this single shot alone. Hard to believe that he wasn't even nominated. This is right up there with Touch of Evil's opening sequence.
Tom hanks best performance of his career. Was captain Phillips. In the closing moments of that movie. I don't think I ever saw hanks act as well as he had done
@@The_Real_Slim_Shadow94 You do know there’s a community of siren enthusiasts you little shit biscuit some people like sirens okay? Now go back to what side of TH-cam you came from.
I've always liked to believe that feather is a piece of his mother's spirit coming down to give him guidance in the next year to come, in losing Jenny and gaining a Son.
+Evil Gopher Actually, the main point of the feather was that they fly in the air wherever the wind takes them and land on the ground wherever the wind takes them and Forrest had something in common with that feather where Forrest didn't know who in his life he will meet, where he will go in his life, what he will do in his life, etc. where he felt he will go wherever the wind takes him just like the feather goes where the wind takes it. That was the main reason he picked it up here and put it in his briefcase feeling he has something in common with it.
The innocent, painful, solitary, luminous, soaring, living, dying pinions of knowing, being, and understanding that make up a single feather in the wind.
The movie starts and he's waiting for a bus. Two hours later and he's _still_ waiting for his bus. That town has a horrible public transportation system for that specific route. The guy meets Elvis, gets a scholarship to play football, goes to Vietnam, gets a purple heart medal, meets JFK, meets LBJ, goes through a hurricane, gets stock in a major company...The odds of ONE person doing *all* of that is just absurd.

Its hard to explain but its a lot of things, Starting and Ending a chapter of His life, And it was sort of spiritually meaning that Jenny was coming and going
No he didn't ask you. He said to reply if you're obsessed with the film to which you commented "not really". Why comment? What are you trying to accomplish? lol
The music, the feather, the randomness of life, this is the kind of art that life is worth living for. When I die, I'll have this song at my funeral.
ptfunnypoet I thought of this song for my funeral to my friend
Joaquín Raúl Ramírez you are a good man.
This will be played on my funeral too, I already decide that as a young man. It's just beautiful.
@ptfunnypoet .
carefully watched and beautifully said - thank you
To me? The best opening credits ever!
No,best opening is The Lion King!
@@bluefire9147 Superman (1978) & Batman (1989).
How about goodfellas
The movie Up is the best

Everytime 😔
One of my favourite opening scenes of cinemas!! All-time favourite 🖤

Yes.
Alan Silvestri's Music make a fantastic film better with his music
This is the most beautiful intro of a movie to me, brings a tear every time again.. brilliant!
Full marks 👍
A time when CGI was used to serve a film rather than drape over it.
+jp3813 I'm going to use that line, brilliantly said.
***** Late 70's to early 2000's. Watch "Every Best Visual Effects Winner. Ever." uploaded by Burger Fiction. Star Wars changed everything.
neither do i

Just been to a funeral and they played this tune, I had to find it-beautiful. RIP MC x
This movie was just worth every penny you spent. What a movie.
My school's bell group played this thing on our christmas concert and I cried a little
The most positive comments section in TH-cam!
i was born in 1957 and all of you fellow boomers i know will say it was the most incredible growing up years anybody, past or present, could ever possibly have wanted.
Amazing cinematography!
Unbelievably good.

@1:38 that's when the tears began to flow for me. :')
+thehoosierfortheUK Yes. Me too.
This movie’s opening sequence is unmatched anywhere in cinema.
I was there, in Savannah last weekend, the bench was removed, kids were riding skateboards on it, it's now in the city museum.
This is a magical opening
I have to play this for my piano exam :D this helped alot understanding how it should sound like :D
50% of the comments: saying how great this opening scene is
The other 50%: the Thunderbolt siren at 0:21
what a captivating opening scene!! i wish they'd release a film this meaningful every weekend.. sigh...
I went to savannah for our architectural trip, i sat at the park and listened to that song, it felt sooo good!
the feather represents his whole life up until that very point. then when it flies away later, the story continues

Oh! Now I remember! It's an old air raid siren called a Thunderbolt!
Why is no one talking about this Music By Alan Silvestri !!!?
he should have won the oscar for it or at least thomas newman from shawshank
@@Gencturk92 exactly
This movie suggests that life is like feather, it flies in the wind, you never know where it's going to land and so on
Tom hanks best performance of his career. Was captain Phillips. In the closing moments of that movie. I don't think I ever saw hanks act as well as he had done
Through out his career. In the end of captain Phillips Hanks was magnificent
Silvestre's music sounds like Ennio Morricone. Famed Italian composer of Clint Eastwood Spaghetti Westerns ,like The Good ,Bad,and Ugly. Live it...
Perfect score soundtrack ❤️👌
What a nice song ❤️❤️😭
The song brings a tear to my eye
damn, that's so beautiful
Inspired movie making... just beautiful
every single movie with tom hanks is great
They painted over Tom's where a real feather was. So when the animated feather came and he was gonna pick it up, he picked up the real feather.
Best Movie of All Time, winning the Oscar for Best Picture of 1994.
Oscar 67th Academy Awards 👍
great CG
But sometimes at night when the house was real quiet.... I'd still think of Jenny.
They way this movie uses visual Effects is so brilliant. Instead of just using cgi for the sake of entertainment, it uses it to tell the story.

Im soo sad this movie is the best movie in the world along with apollo 13 thanks tom hanks #NO.1
there is a video on youtube i guess on how the feather was shot
No he didn't ask you. He said to reply if you're obsessed with the film to which you commented "not really". Why comment? What are you trying to accomplish? lol
My favourite
They did use CGI.
Forrest Gump uses a variety of visual effects, but tries to carefully blend them so that you don't notice.
There's a thunderbolt siren on the building at the beginning .
@twotailedavenger them sirens are very badass, i wish i had one in my town
They don't make 'em like this anymore. God, it's fucking beautiful.
only to a "simple being" a bird feather seems extraordinary to you
thumbs up if you see a thunderbolt siren at 0:52
Wow, I guess nobody saw it.
I did
I did I just came here from the siren board
Also 0:22
@twotailedavenger I love them Thunderbolts, My faverite sirens
Wow what a sad theme song 😓😞
"All right, Forrest, you can open your eyes now."
god i love this movie
Thumbs up if the person in this AT&T ad is from your town. What a coincidence, eh?
