“Forrest Gump is about time; a simple man’s journey through complicated times,” director Rober Zemeckis & screenwriter Eric Roth said in a joint statement. “The coming-of-age of a generation and a country. And at the heart of the story is the music, music that lives with us, always there to remind us of the people, the places, and the events of our time.”
All of the music on the vinyl are from American bands and the vinyl was pressed in the United States. “Bob [Zemeckis] felt strongly about it. He felt that Forrest wouldn’t buy anything but American [music],” says Music Producer, Joel Sill, who wanted the film’s music to be “very recognizable” so viewers could follow the familiar sounds to the recognizable time periods depicted in the movie.
