“The Doors,” an iconic band, had their music prominently featured in the film. Throughout the movie, six of their songs played, creating a perfect tone that captured the wild essence of that era. Director Robert Zemeckis, a passionate fan of the band, was absolutely right in recognizing the profound impact their sound brought to the film. It is unimaginable to separate their music from the essence of the story. Formed in Los Angeles in 1965, this American rock band, fronted by the charismatic Jim Morrison, disbanded almost 45 years ago; however, their popularity persists to this day, having sold over 100 million albums worldwide.

Elizabeth, daughter of Tom Hanks, starred in the film alongside Zemeckis’ son Alexander. Both of them were among the school kids on the bus who ridiculed Gump. Elizabeth, commonly known as EA Hanks, later transitioned into writing. She worked as a staffer at Vanity Fair magazine and served as an associate editor with The Huffington Post. Furthermore, she has contributed her writing to reputable publications such as Vanity Fair, The Guardian, The New York Times, and other esteemed magazines in the United States. It is worth noting that Hanks’ offspring have not been the only ones to venture into the entertainment industry, as Colin Hanks, a well-known actor, has also appeared in a series of films.
