Many of the event in the movie Forrest Gump are historically accurate, as demanded by the star Tom Hanks. The war, civil rights, renewed relations with China and the AIDs epidemic are all true.
The tone of Gump is a gentle comedy-drama with some romance thrown in. There is something for everybody in Forrest Gump.
The original score for the movie "Forrest Gump" was written by Alan Silvestri. There are two main theme songs used throughout the movie - the gentle piano music used in the introductory and final scenes and the triumphant music used in some of the running scenes. The compilation of the main themes of the movie is called "Suite from Forrest Gump" and can be found on "Forrest Gump: Original Motion Picture Score - Music composed and conducted by Alan Silvestri". The piano intro is called "I'm Forrest…Forrest Gump" and the first use of the triumphant theme is called "Run Forrest Run" and was used when Forrest's braces broke apart when he was running.
There are some major differences in characters and development between the book and the movie. Gump is not as successful in the book, nor is Jenny as bad. Below I have included a link to a site that compare the book and movie.
No, there's nothing at all about the movie that's true. (I mean, some of the things, like Watergate and the Vietnam War, really did happen, but Gump is a fictional character.)
Grease and Forrest Gump are some of his favorites.

They started fishing for shrimp. At first, they were spectacularly unsuccessful. But then a hurricane destroyed all the other shrimp boats in the area, and suddenly business was booming for Forrest and Lt. Dan.

Some may see it as offensive. However it isn't supposed to be.
Father of the Bride, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Forrest Gump, Frankenstein, From Here to Eternity and Funny Girl are movie titles that begin with the letter F.
For some reason the actor that played the T-shirt guy in Forrest Gump was not listed in the IMDb, even as an extra.
The movie time-line covered about 30 years. Begining in the 1950's with Gump as a child through the 1980's. Gump's formative years were spent in the idealized 50's which gave way to the civil unrest of the 1960's, followed by the disco era in the late 1970's to AIDS in the 1980s. Using true historical facts and events with music from the appropriate time period, Forrest Gump covers the cultural evolution of America in the latter half of the 20th century.
The scenes when Gump is running coast to coast.
