When there is a new time in the movie, there are played music that was popular in the year that the movie is in at that point. This is important to make the viewers understand witch time the movie is in all the time and they don 't have to wonder about that. There is also some special effects, for example when the bombs are dropped in Vietnam during Forrest 's time in the army. This makes the movie more exiting because the bombing makes the movie seem a lot more real. The ping pong ball was also a special effect witch made it look like Forrest was hitting a ball, because it would be very difficult to film if it was a real ball.

What Can “Forrest Gump” (1994) Teach Us About Scriptwriting? Forrest Gump (1994), an American comedy-drama film based on the novel by Winston Groom, with the screenplay adapted by Eric Roth, tells the story of a mentally disabled and very kind-hearted child that comes to lead an extraordinary life.

The storyline is very character-driven and resembles a ‘vignette into one's life' as opposed to having a traditional story structure. This is seen through the feather motif and the well-known

Morgan Darlington Odell AP English Lng December 5, 2015 Movie Review The 2004 Adam Sandler movie ''50 First Dates,'' is a romantic comedy directed by Peter Segal and written by George Wing that also stars Drew Barrymore who undergoes short term memory loss. “50 First Dates” seems to start out like another one of Sandler's juvenile movies. In the first scene of the film, a group of girls seem to be astonished at the accomplishments of Henry Roth, who is a Maui veterinarian with an interest in marine mammals, as well as temporary romances with vacationers. When the audience first meets Henry (Adam Sandler), he jokes another one of his dirty minded jokes, where moments after, a walrus vomits all over Henry's Russian assistant. Oh, and we can’t forget about Rob Schneider, who plays a goofy
