Forrest Gump – Original Motion Picture Score
''Forrest Gump – Original Motion Picture Score'' is the Film score, original score album for the 1994 film ''Forrest Gump'', directed by Robert Zemeckis. The music was composed and conducted by Alan Silvestri. Silvestri's music was nominated for Best Original Score in the 67th Academy Awards. The album released is not to be confused with the better-selling (and therefore more common) album of Diegetic music, diegetic songs from the film, which were released as ''Forrest Gump (soundtrack), Forrest Gump: The Soundtrack''. Critical response AllMusic's William Ruhlmann called it "saccharine", and said that while it worked as a soundtrack "it has little value on its own", but still awarded it three stars out of possible five.

Diegetic Music
Diegetic music or source music is music in a drama (e.g., film or video game) that is part of the fictional setting and so, presumably, is heard by the characters. The term refers to diegesis, a style of storytelling. The opposite of source music is incidental music or film score, underscoring, which is music heard by the viewer (or player), intended to comment on or highlight the action, but is not to be understood as part of the "reality" of the fictional setting. Source music was sometimes used as scores from the earliest days of Hollywood talkies, in some cases—e.g., ''The Public Enemy'' (1931)—using it to the exclusion of any underscoring; or in ''Touch of Evil'' (1958), where there is proportionately more source compared to underscore. Film sound and music If the characters in the film can (or could) hear the music the audience hears, then that music is called ''diegetic''. It is also called ''source music'' by professionals in the industry. It is said to be within ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Comedy Film Soundtracks
Comedy is a genre of fiction that consists of discourses or works intended to be humorous or amusing by inducing laughter, especially in theatre, film, stand-up comedy, television, radio, books, or any other entertainment medium. The term originated in ancient Greece: in Athenian democracy, the public opinion of voters was influenced by political satire performed by comic poets in theaters. The theatrical genre of Greek comedy can be described as a dramatic performance pitting two groups, ages, genders, or societies against each other in an amusing ''agon'' or conflict. Northrop Frye depicted these two opposing sides as a "Society of Youth" and a "Society of the Old". A revised view characterizes the essential agon of comedy as a struggle between a relatively powerless youth and the societal conventions posing obstacles to his hopes. In this struggle, the youth then becomes constrained by his lack of social authority, and is left with little choice but to resort to ruses which eng ...

The Soundtrack
A soundtrack is recorded music accompanying and synchronised to the images of a motion picture, drama, book, television program, radio program, or video game; a commercially released soundtrack album of music as featured in the soundtrack of a film, video, or television presentation; or the physical area of a film that contains the synchronised recorded sound. In movie industry terminology usage, a sound track is an audio recording created or used in film production or post-production. Initially, the dialogue, sound effects, and music in a film each has its own separate track (''dialogue track'', ''sound effects track'', and '' music track''), and these are mixed together to make what is called the ''composite track,'' which is heard in the film. A ''dubbing track'' is often later created when films are dubbed into another language. This is also known as an M&E (music and effects) track. M&E tracks contain all sound elements minus dialogue, which is then supplied by the fore ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Forrest Gump
''Forrest Gump'' is a 1994 American comedy-drama film directed by Robert Zemeckis and written by Eric Roth. It is based on the 1986 novel of the same name by Winston Groom and stars Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Gary Sinise, Mykelti Williamson and Sally Field. The film follows several decades in the life of a slow-witted and kindhearted Alabama man named Forrest Gump (Hanks) and his experiences in the 20th-century United States. The film differs substantially from the novel. Principal photography took place between August and December 1993, mainly in Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. Extensive visual effects were used to incorporate Hanks into archived footage and to develop other scenes. The soundtrack features songs reflecting the different periods seen in the film. ''Forrest Gump'' was released in the United States on July 6, 1994, and received critical acclaim for Zemeckis's direction, performances (particularly those of Hanks and Sinise), visual effects, music, a ...
