Daily Dialogue — November 29, 2013

“Forrest, I never thanked you for saving my life.”

— Forrest Gump (1994), screenplay by Eric Roth, novel by Winston Groom

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is forgiveness, suggested by churnage.

Trivia: Inspired by Lieutenant Dan Taylor, the military veteran character he played in this movie, actor Gary Sinise co-founded a rock and roll cover band during the mid-2000s called “The Lt. Dan Band.” The band often goes on USO tours to play for US military personnel stationed around the world, and also plays various benefits for veteran-related causes.

Dialogue On Dialogue: This is such a wonderful moment, not only expressing gratitude, but also forgiveness to Forrest for not leaving Dan to die, what he thought was his destiny, but then discovered a path to a new life.
