An addition to my other entry on GUMP--the technical quality of the film is good, but the much-touted "documentary" footage I thought was not that great. The visual contrast, especially in the color footage, between Gump and the others was pretty obvious, as were the dubbed voices of Kennedy, Nixon and Johnson. On the other hand, far more insidious are the FX we are not meant to notice. You may have read, for instance, that the anti-Vietnam rally of some 40,000 people was actually just a few hundred extras who were then multiplied by computer--now that's scary! BTW, I went to school in DC from 1967 to 1971 and witnessed the rally represented in GUMP. (The first major antiwar rally in the capital that was the subject of Norman Mailer's ARMIES OF THE NIGHT.) Was Abby Hoffman even at that one? At least the film doesn't have Gump giving inspriration to Mailer or Robert Lowell!
