Tom Hanks said he had serious reservations while shooting six-time Oscar-winning 'Forrest Gump' and that it wouldn't 'make any sense' to audiences.
character, Lt. Dan – who lost his legs in Vietnam – comes to Forrest’s house on his wedding day and shows him his new titanium"magic" legs.
Tom Hanks said a scene in the movie in which Forrest Gump sees Lt. Dan's new titanium"magic" legs for the first time is"undeniable heartbreaking humanity." "I might get weepy thinking about it now," Hanks said."Forrest and Lt. Dan, in those four words – ‘magic legs,’ ‘Lt. Dan’ – understand all they had been through and feel gratitude for every ounce of pain and tragedy that they survived. That’s some intangible [expletive] right there. That is not just running along to Duane Eddy’s ‘Rebel Rouser.’"
When asked by the Times about the"first""memory" that comes to mind from his career, he said that when he was shooting the park bench scenes from"Forrest Gump," he was wondering if anyone would care."It’s summertime in Savannah, Georgia. We had shot 27 straight days. It was brutal.
He continued,"And Bob said, 'It’s a minefield, Tom. You never know what’s good. Are you going to make it through safe? Or are you going to step on a Bouncing Betty that’s going to blow your b---- off?' There’s never any guarantee. I’ll be 66 in July, and I’ve been acting for a paycheck since I was 20. Forty-six years and I now know what was evident when I was 20 years old is what Spencer Tracy said: ‘Learn the lines. Hit the marks. Tell the truth.' That’s all you can do.
