Lotte Cinema has released a special poster to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release. A representative scene from the movie, where Forrest Gump is sitting on a bench, is captured in vintage colors, and the copy, “The world will look different when you see it through Forrest Gump‘s eyes”, foreshadows the ultimate message the movie will deliver.
