Response to Corey Anton's "Against Forrest Gump"

In this video I respond to Corey Anton's thoughts on Forrest Gump by discussing the military's response to the script as written by screenwriter Eric Roth. His screenplay faced quite an interesting challenge from a production standpoint before it was realized on screen.

In each of my courses, I focus on the ways that popular films function in terms of narrative and image patterning at the level of the script. I teach film history, novel-to-screenplay adaptation studies, genre and special topics such as Canadian film and modern representations of friendship.

Each course stresses how popular cinema reveals the characteristics of modernity that bind many levels of globalized contemporary culture, often with ancient implications.
