Childhood and past war storyboard copies from Robert Zemeckis' Forrest Gump. While waiting for the bus, Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) shared with random people who sat beside him on the park bench his childhood of learning to walk with braces on his legs, his schooling and when he met his best friend Jenny Curran (Hanna R. Hall/Robin Wright). Years later when Forrest enlisted in the army with his friend Benjamin Buford "Bubba" Blue (Mykelti Williamson), they met with their platoon leader Lieutenant Dan Taylor (Gary Sinise) and learned he had family members fight in every war as far back as Valley Forge.
Forrest Gump was nominated for 13 Academy Awards® and won six, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor for Tom Hanks' performance as Gump. It is often ranked among the best films ever made, earning it a place in the Library of Congress' National Film Registry in 2011.
