![]() The park, with its six miles of ocean coast and 20 miles of bay shore lands – mostly marsh – first opened in 1965 as Indian River State Park. The stabilized inlet and new bridge created the beginnings of a small seasonal community of campers and fishermen at that location, which eventually grew into Delaware Seashore State Park. The state also removed the previous fixed wooden bridge and replaced it with a sturdier swing bridge which would accommodate shipping in and out of Indian River. Army Corps of Engineers stepped in and aided with construction of two steel-and-wooden jetties, one on each side of the inlet. Without jetties, however, constant dredging to keep the inlet open and to protect the highway became cost-prohibitive. According to a February 2020 article by Delaware Seashore State Park historical interpreter Kenneth Horowitz, the first highway was built in 1933, along with the first crossing of Indian River Inlet – a wooden bridge. The first jetties finally did come in 1938 as part of the effort to build the first real ocean highway along the barrier islands to connect Rehoboth Beach and Bethany Beach. However, the state appropriation that year was not enough to build the needed jetty. “There is a general feeling in that section that any inlet, no matter where dug, connecting Indian River Bay and Atlantic Ocean, will shoal with sand unless a jetty is built out in the ocean to divert the current and shifting sands.” They had had enough.Ī newspaper clipping in Delaware’s Public Archives from September 1923 noted that the new inlet would “be adapted for the use of small boats only, but it will prevent overflowing of the surrounding farmlands and enable the raising of hay which is a profitable industry in that section.”īut the article also stated what most people were already feeling, after watching the inlet shifting constantly, opening and closing with storms, and costing frustrating amounts of money to reopen time and time again. They estimated the closed inlet had already caused several hundred thousand dollars’ worth of damage to their crops because of flooded farmland. In August 1919, tired of waiting for the state to decide where to open a new inlet after the former one closed in a storm, local residents bought dynamite and opened the inlet themselves. It also changed salinity in the bays, to the detriment of clams and oysters. That damaged the tomato and hay crops on which the farmers depended, both for cash and feed for their livestock.įor fishermen, a closed inlet meant fewer species to catch in the bays. When storms filled the oft-shifting inlet with sand, Indian River and Rehoboth Bay’s waters backed up, leading to flooding of surrounding farmland. But if the state didn’t move quickly enough, they took matters into their own hands. In the early 1900s, when Indian River’s inlet changed locations almost as often as the weather changes, farmers and fishermen looked to the state for help.

Speaking as someone born in a small town in Alabama around the same time, I find little about this town and the surrounding terrain believable (in fact the Greenbow sections and those set in Vietnam were both filmed in South Carolina). (Viewers who don’t want any surprises given away are urged to check out at this point.)īorn in the mid-40s, Forrest Gump is raised by a devoted, resourceful single mother (Sally Field) who runs a boardinghouse in the remote imaginary town of Greenbow, Alabama. If the movie were less skilled and effective, I’d have less reason to feel such rage about what it’s doing. The sweetness of Tom Hanks’s performance, and Zemeckis’s mastery as a storyteller and technical wizard, can’t be denied. From beginning to end, Forrest Gump plays this myth like a grand organ. Even Wilder and Faulkner bought into it, and it still dictates not only a good deal of our literature and movies but much of our foreign policy. Simpson, the myth that innocence is goodness (and vice versa) has surely had the longest awkward age we haven’t yet outgrown it. One is tempted to say, with apologies to Wilder, that of all the myths of innocence that have spurred this country on, from George Washington to O.J. Benjy, the literal idiot who narrates the first section of Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury, offers an even stronger (but less comic) analogy. One can trace related fancies in the ironies of Jewish novelists such as Saul Bellow and Bernard Malamud (both of whom undoubtedly influenced Woody Allen’s Zelig, one of Forrest Gump‘s more obvious sources) and in the whimsy of Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Joseph Heller, and other “black humor” novelists. In fact it’s a tradition in American thought extending well beyond the movies: Forrest Gump has many literary precedents apart from the novel by Winston Grooms (which I haven’t read) on which Eric Roth’s screenplay is said to be vaguely based. The figure whose moral purity leads to endless comic complications is also a staple in many of Frank Capra’s best-known movies - and is central to Leo McCarey’s underrated Good Sam, which can be read as a sort of dialectical response to Capra. “Of all the forms of genius,” Thornton Wilder wrote in The Woman of Andros (1930), “goodness has the longest awkward age” five years later he made this the epigraph for his Heaven’s My Destination, a novel about another saintly fool. What’s blowing it around is a Hollywood wind machine exuding hot air, and what’s guiding its trajectory is an invisible wire pulled by a puppet master. Figuratively the feather being blown around is us, not Gump or American history. How curious, then, that one irresistibly focuses on the careful, deliberate way Zemeckis has plotted the feather’s seemingly arbitrary progress - and on how calculated and contrived Gump’s supposedly absurdist story turns out to be. These framing shots - a poetic statement about the vicissitudes of chance, how histories are made, unmade, and remade - are meant to say something about a half-century of American life, from the 40s to the present and the tragicomic life of Forrest Gump, a saintly fool, is meant to embody those years. Picking up the feather and placing it inside a book, he proceeds to recount his life story to various passing strangers in the film’s final shot, over two hours later, we see a breeze carry the same white feather up and away. ![]() Forrest Gump, a slow-witted, sweet-tempered, straight-shooting fellow from Alabama with an IQ of 75, is waiting for a bus in a small park in Savannah, Georgia. In the opening shot of Forrest Gump - a movie that might be described as Robert Zemeckis’s flag-waving Oscar bid - the camera meticulously follows the drifting, wayward trajectory of a white feather all the way from the heavens to the ground, just beside the muddy tennis shoes of the title hero (Tom Hanks).

To roast acorn squash seeds simply separate the seeds from the strings, toss in a little oil, salt and pepper and roast in a 350☏ oven until golden brown.
