analysis of the opening of Forest Gump

Forest Gump

The opening scene for Forest Gump is a very famous film and holds one of the most famous lines in the film industry “momma always told me, life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what ya gonna get”. Sadly this doesn’t happen in the opening scene, but does happen just after.

The first thing the audience sees is the tittle sequence, this is happening throughout the whole of the opening scene. Whilst the tittle sequence is happening there is one very long tracking shot of a feather falling though a town till it reaches the the main actor (Tom Hanks)

The location of this scene is a friendly town and not a very big one as well. There is a distinct atmosphere of this scene, it is almost happy but at the same time its is quite depressive and sad.
