Three reasons Tufts Film Series wants you to see this movie:
1) Tom Hanks’ second Oscar-winning performance in as many years.
2) The role of Forrest Gump almost went to Chevy Chase and later to John Travolta. Be glad that never happened.
3) The ping pong sequences were filmed without a ball; it was added in with CGI later to match the movement of the actors’ paddles.
Free movies. Big screen. Every weekend.
Three reasons Tufts Film Series wants you to see this movie:
1) This: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRiamdE82Ow
2) The entire slew of comedians from the 2000s turned out for this film: apart from the leads Will Ferrell, Christina Applegate, Paul Rudd and Steve Carrell, these actors also make appearances: Jack Black, Vince Vaughn, Luke Wilson, Ben Stiller, Seth Rogen, and Danny Trejo.
3) Large portions of the film are improvised, which led to there being enough unused footage that a feature-length companion film was made out of it for DVD.
Free movies. Big screen. Every weekend.
