20 Things You Somehow Missed In Forrest Gump
15. The Shot Of Jenny Outside Her Home Is Inspired By An Iconic Painting
You probably remember the scene in which Jenny angrily throws rocks at her childhood home, lashing out at every bad thing that house represents to her.
The image of Jenny collapsed in the mud, the house in the distance, is a striking one, and one that Robert Zemeckis received a little inspiration in composing.
The shot is actually an homage to the beloved 1948 Andrew Wyeth painting "Christina's World", which similarly depicts a woman laying in a field with a house in the background.
You'd never guess this unless you're into fine art, and yet, it instantly makes anyone who catches it feel super smart.
