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.

Although historic events were used in the movie to make different points, it was never meant to be a documentary. The movie was based on a novel of the same name and was never meant to be accurate in that respect.

Forrest stated that Jenny died on a Saturday, but the tomb stone reads that she died on March 22, 1982 which was a Monday. I need a hobby.
