Forrest Gump. As in 1994, filmed the scene with a live John Lennon



As you, I think, remember, in the film "Forrest Gump," the main character was invited to the popular Dick Cavetta show in the States, which was attended by John Lennon. Perhaps you will be surprised, but in the film the role of John Lennon is not made up actor, but the famous musician himself


First, let's remember the scene in question.



So, in these shots actually shot John Lennon.

The fact is that for the filming of this scene took real shots from the Dick Cavetta show in 1971, on which John Lennon and Yoko Ono were invited as guests of the scene. This is clearly seen when combining the appropriate frames from the 1994 film and the show of September 11, 1971. See for yourself

Here is a shot from the movie



But a shot from the show




That is, for filming this scene from the original frames, Yoko Ono and Dick Cavetta were erased, and then using computer graphics, Tom Hanks and Dick Cavetta took their place, who agreed to play himself for the film

It looked something like this.

And it after preliminary computer processing



And in the end we have this replacement



"And what about Lennon's cues?" - you ask. "They in the film most likely do not coincide with the original of the show." Yes, do not match. But Lennon re-sounded ... Lennon himself too. All remarks of the musician in the film are taken from his songs.
