So first he taught Elvis the moves, then he became Elvis's manager. Fantastic works, Tom Hanks!

[abdullahtariq]

The fact they casted Tom Hanks as Colonel Tom Parker in the new Elvis biographical film is amazing. Came full circle

[pinkpuffball]

Forrest met so many famous people and didn't even know it, bless his soul

[annagalati]

I love the look on Forest's mom's face when she realizes who Elvis is. Priceless. Wonderful and timeless movie.

[strangebrew]

“He sung too many songs” is actually pretty on point to what happened to him

[TheLastHylianTitan]

i love how we don't even need to see his face in full focus, we just hear his accent and the song and we KNOW, we KNOW who it is.

He inspired Elvis and gave Lennon the idea for ''imagine''

[repurposeyou]

It's so insane to think that Elvis' dance moves were considered inappropriate lol Wow how far we've come.

[Dave_Miller_TP]

Wow, I can’t believe Forrest Gump was Elvis’ manager

[corbinr.dallas]

That woman's heart is so full of love. Making sure everyone eats and has everything they need like they were her family. Flawless acting

[KHALIBEATS]

Gotta be the best movie ever made... everything matches so perfect

What I love about this movie is that Forrest goes through life and historical moments without even realising it. Like being related to the kkk founder, meeting the king himself elvis Presley, meeting JFK and the assassination, the Vietnam war, more presidential assassinations, playing ping pong professionally and helped stop the war and bring peace, more assassinations, meeting John Lennon and his death, helped create famous icons while out running, etc.

"Without me, there would be no Elvis Presley" How true those words are.

[adamazzalino]

I can't tell you what this scene means to me. Around when the movie came to VHS I was a young disabled child just fitted with leg braces for the first time. For whatever reason, I had an Elvis obsession too. I think our local oldies station played a ton of Elvis. To see that Forrest who had gone through what I was going through gave the King his style..just gave me hope that I could have an impact too. Its silly, but I have such affection for this scene because of that.

Kurt Russell actually did the voice for Elvis in this scene.

[MiaMia-xeoj]

When I was young watching this masterpiece, I have no idea that who that man is. Now i know he's a legend.

28 years later, Tom Hanks is an a movie about Elvis.

[jonathanholowasko]

The fact that Tom Hanks is playing Elvis Presley's manager: Colonel Tom Parker, in the upcoming Elvis biopic, brought me back here!!

[individualistds]

The innocent wisdom in this movie is flawless.

Indeed, Elvis did sing him too many songs. His overworked schedule, exploitation and hypercommoditization of the beautiful product which was his voice, were exactly what drove him into his addiction and eventual death.

Even Forrest Gump knew what was going on.

And at that moment, Forest Gump invented the Crip walk
