Forrest Gump est une comédie américaine signée Robert Zemeckis, sortie en 1994. Ce film à la dramaturgie bonhomme, à la philosophie heureuse, parfois naïve, se taille une place de roi dans la culture populaire. Car Forrest Gump est un héros populaire. Touchant, aimant, droit, il est lʹhomme qui invente le smiley, le déhanché dʹElvis Presley, qui dénonce le scandale du Watergate et qui inspire sa chanson Imagine à John Lennon. Et tout cela sans en avoir conscience. Car Forrest Gump est un simple dʹesprit, un homme au QI en dessous de la moyenne qui se retrouve impliqué dans 30 ans dʹhistoire américaine. Forrest, incarné par Tom Hanks, est un héros malgré lui qui devient sportif de haut niveau, héros de guerre, entrepreneur à succès, gourou, influenceur, inventeur et découvreur. Entre les années 50 et les années 80, il est embraqué dans tous les soubresauts de lʹhistoire américaine, et invité par trois fois à serrer la pogne de trois présidents. Mais lui, son seul objectif, cʹest lʹamour de sa belle, Jenny, dont il aura un fils. En adaptant le roman du même nom de Winston Groom, sorti en 1986, Robert Zemeckis tourne ce qui deviendra un classique de lʹhistoire du cinéma et fera de Forrest Gump un personnage que tout le monde connaît et reconnaît citant allègrement quelques phrases et autres philosophies tirées du film. Robert Zemeckis, après les Retour vers le futur, A la poursuite du Diamant Vert et Qui veut la peau de Roger Rabbit, reprend son équipe et sʹembarque dans une aventure sur plusieurs décennies cinématographiques, profitant des avancées des trucages numériques pour parvenir à raconter son histoire. Le film reçoit une pluie de récompense, des Oscars en 1995, dont ceux de meilleur film, de meilleur réalisateur et de meilleur acteur pour Tom Hanks. Il ne nous reste plus quʹà nous asseoir sur un banc à Savannah, aux côtés dʹun homme au regard candide et de partager avec lui le contenu dʹune boîte de chocolat tandis quʹil nous raconte sa vie.

In episode 498 I discuss how the filming of the movie Back to the Future started during a Mercury retrograde period, and the production experienced notorious delays, including firing the lead actor after 6 weeks of filming. By examining the challenges and ultimate success of the film, we can gain a deeper understanding of what Mercury retrograde truly means in astrology. The story begins with the filmmakers, Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis, who, after years of developing the script, had their hearts set on Michael J. Fox for the lead role of Marty McFly. When Fox was unavailable, they moved forward with another actor, Eric Stoltz. Filming commenced in late November 1984, precisely as Mercury was slowing down to station retrograde. Mercury retrogrades are often associated with delays, revisions, and the need to redo things. The initial weeks of filming with Stoltz proved to be a prime example of these themes, as his more serious interpretation of the role clashed with the comedic vision of the filmmakers. This led to the difficult and highly unusual decision to recast the lead role in the middle of production. The story of Back to the Future's creation, with its delays and necessary do-overs, serves as a powerful real-world example of Mercury retrograde in action, teaching us that sometimes we must go back to the past to correct our course in order to create a better future. Join me as I break down the astrological timeline of these events and discuss the broader lessons we can learn about navigating our own Mercury retrograde periods.

The behind the scenes stories of two movies, starting with Naked Gun 33 1/3, a movie that saw franchise director David Zucker opt to step back, and thirtysomething Peter Segal make his directorial debut. The problem? There was a comedy to make, and Segal was struggling to get a connection with his leading man, the late Leslie Nielsen. 2000's Cast Away meanwhile would be a movie that contributed to health problems Tom Hanks has put up with since. It made a volleyball famous, and notably, it's a film that took so long to make, that director Robert Zemeckis shot and released another movie entirely in the midst of Cast Away's production schedule. Stories of both films are told in this episode... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
We're going back…to That Was Then! Paul, Arlo, and Eric return to their series of vintage movie discussions to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Robert Zemeckis' 1985 sci-fi comedy blockbuster Back to the Future. It's a classic beloved by many folks of different generations, but we're here to answer that most pressing question: Why? The gang unravels every last nonsensical thread of BTTF, finding plenty to love despite how fuzzy everything is beneath the film's surface. There's admiration for Zemeckis' ability to power through even the dumbest plot convolutions, praise for the dynamite chemistry between Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd, confusion about Zemeckis and co-writer Bob Gale's attitudes toward race and sex, and so very much more. NEXT: Gobbledygeek will return.

Starring Michael J Fox, Christopher Lloyd and a genuinely beautiful school building, Robert Zemeckis's time travel comedy blockbuster continues to be a cultural touchstone.

In this episode of Comic Stripped, Mark Radulich and Evan Bevins dive into Here, discussing how Richard McGuire's formal experiment reshaped the boundaries of graphic storytelling and how Zemeckis' adaptation attempts to interpret that same vision through cinema. The hosts explore whether the emotional arc added in the film enhances or detracts from the original's minimalist power. They also debate the challenges of adapting abstract art into narrative film, and where Here sits in the pantheon of both graphic novels and cinematic experimentation."Here" is a 6-page comic story by Richard McGuire published in 1989, and expanded into a 304-page graphic novel in 2014. The concept of "Here" (in both versions) is to show the same location in space at different points in time, ranging from the primordial past to thousands of years in the future. "Here" has been recognized as a groundbreaking experiment with the formal properties of comics.Here is a 2024 American drama film produced and directed by Robert Zemeckis, who co-wrote the screenplay with Eric Roth, based on the 2014 graphic novel by Richard McGuire. Echoing the source material, the film is told in a nonlinear fashion: using a locked-down or "static shot" technique, the story covers a single plot of land and its inhabitants, from the distant past to the 21st century. During the film, the screen is often subdivided into panes, presenting events from different times simultaneously. The film stars Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Paul Bettany, and Kelly Reilly, with digital de-aging via generative artificial intelligence being used on much of the cast to have them portray their characters over time.Here premiered at the AFI Fest on October 25, 2024, before being theatrically released in the United States by TriStar Pictures through Sony Pictures Releasing on November 1, 2024.[10] The film received generally negative reviews from critics and grossed $15.8 million.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59 For the purposes of engaging with tiktok and youtube viewers, what is the best 10min or more segment from this podcast?

Oh boy! Tini and John take a deep dive into Robert Zemeckis' satire of the glamours Hollywood life of the '90's. The two can't help but talk about their love of movies from this time along with seminal horror series that may have inspired today's movie, Tales From the Crypt. Sit back, crack a cold one and enjoy.
Time to take another trip back to the 70s and find out what's going on in the world of intrepid reporter Carl Kolchak--and it looks wild back there, with insta-grow ape men, witchcraft in the fashion industry, and... is that a young Robert Zemeckis? Face it, true believers, this one has everything!
Episode #91 Alan Katz Well that was a blast. Had a great conversation with AL Katz about his journey through Hollywood and beyond. We got into his time writing for iconic shows like Tales from the Crypt, working with legends like Robert Zemeckis and Walter Hill, navigating the wild world of TV and film production, and why he walked away from it all. We also dove into The Donor: A Modern Horror Story, his deeply personal and harrowing true story that blends medical mystery with psychological thriller—an incredible example of real life being stranger (and scarier) than fiction. AL opened up about how the experience changed him and how he turned it into a powerful narrative. Oh, and the Hollywood stories—buckle up. AL shared some truly bizarre, hilarious, and borderline unbelievable encounters with a certain A-list celebrity whose behavior might just redefine “diva.” From strange requests to even stranger habits, you'll have to hear it to believe it. We also talked about "The How NOT To Make A Movie Podcast" which Entertainment Weekly called the first season of the "Best Film Podcast of 2022".. A funny, honest, intense, and eye-opening chat with someone who's lived through the highs, lows, and total WTF moments of the industry. Don't miss this one.

That alone sounds interesting enough to check it out on YouTube. Shua powered through all the Mission: Impossible movies to prepare for the “Final Reckoning” in theaters. It was a fun, spy, Tom-Cruise-Running, full-fueled ride. Sci-Fi Saturdays This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays explores the mind-bending chronal perils of time travel with Rian Johnson's 2012 Looper. Time travel may not be the career you're looking for. Read his article on RetroZap.com. And make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU. Enjoy Time Travel! Forty years ago we experienced the release of a movie that would become legend. Back to the Future was a tremendous success for Robert Zemeckis, Michael J. Fox, and Christopher Lloyd. (But maybe not Biff, so much) Of course, movie success demands sequels, so a few years later we got more. The trilogy ended in the old west with the third installment which is celebrating 35 years. The BTTF movies have many parallels, so we decided to find a bunch of them and compare the first and third movies. Join in on the fun and see how many you've spotted. Did you spot any more parallels? What is your experience with Back to the Future? First person that emails me with the subject line, “Great Scott!” will get a special mention on the show. Let us know.

In this episode- recorded back in the midst of the pandemic- Kieran and I discussed Robert Zemeckis' debut feature film, 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand'. This was a film we both enjoyed but certainly had issues with. So you can expect us to talk about the pros and cons of this film about a bunch of teens in 1964 going to New York to try and see The Beatles perform on The Ed Sullivan Show. We also compare this to other films Zemeckis worked on from 1941 to the Back to the Future trilogy to Forest Gump and beyond! This episode originally aired on my sister show the SpielbergPod in early 2023.
To kick off a month of movie choices only from Zach (and voted on by our Patreon subscribers), we're jumping headfirst into Toontown for a review of Robert Zemeckis's Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It's a one-of-a-kind blend of live-action and cartoon, set against a 1940s Hollywood backdrop, and featuring a hilarious combination of slapstick violence and hard-boiled mystery.Join our Patreon for our bonus episodes! https://www.patreon.com/oldiebutagoodiepodFollow the show!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oldiebutagoodiepod/Facebook: https://fb.me/oldiebutagoodiepodPodcast Platforms: https://linktr.ee/oldiebutagoodiepodGot feedback?

Several weeks into production of "Back to the Future," screenwriter Bob Gale and director Robert Zemeckis had a huge problem: Eric Stoltz was not giving them the performance their Spielberg backed film desperately needed. Enter budding star Michael J. Fox, the actor they wanted from the beginning. Literally working around the clock, Fox spent his days portraying television's Alex P. Keaton and his nights as time traveling teen Marty McFly. It would quickly become the role of a lifetime. With the beloved classic turning 40, David O'Sullivan joins Dennis - and Nick Malone guests hosts - as our little podcast celebrates its 50th episode. This is heavy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
