Forrest Gump – Original Motion Picture Score is the original score album for the 1994 film Forrest Gump, directed by Robert Zemeckis. The music was composed and conducted by Alan Silvestri. [1]
Silvestri's music was nominated for Best Original Score in the 67th Academy Awards. The album released is not to be confused with the better-selling (and therefore more common) album of diegetic songs from the film, which were released as Forrest Gump: The Soundtrack.
AllMusic's William Ruhlmann called it "saccharine", and said that while it worked as a soundtrack "it has little value on its own", but still awarded it three stars out of possible five. [1]
The "Forrest Gump Suite" on the song soundtrack is a combination of "I'm Forrest...Forrest Gump" and "Suite from Forrest Gump" (the main and end titles respectively).
