Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Starman (1984): 1 line

  1. people (performance lineage) · through Forrest Gump (1994), which they scored: Starman ⇒ Forrest Gump (the host's read). Bridges' hat, check shirt, strange speech and not-quite-a-person quality read as a proto-Forrest Gump.
    “there's like a proto-Forrest Gump vibe in this performance in the hat and in the check shirt”
    Blank Check with Griffin & David · Starman with Katey Rich · 1:57:23 · David Sims (0.40 sure it was them)

earlier Vietnam films: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Forrest Gump (1994), which they scored: earlier Vietnam films ⇒ Forrest Gump (the host's read). Gump's Vietnam section riffs on the earlier Vietnam films: music, combat, drill instructor.
    “A journey that riffs on all the Vietnam films that came before.”
    The Big Picture · 8. I Love America | Do We Get to Win This Time? · 0:44:07 · Brian Raftery (0.90 sure it was them)

Drawn on by

What the speakers say drew on them or a film of theirs, marked the same way.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008): 2 lines

  1. unmapped (anti-Gump answer) · through Forrest Gump (1994), which they scored: Forrest Gump ⇒ The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (the host's read). Griffin reads Benjamin Button as a pointed answer to Gump, showing the death behind the Americana.
    “But I think it's almost like pointedly an anti-gump.”

  2. unmapped (attempt at a Gump) · through Forrest Gump (1994), which they scored: Forrest Gump ⇒ The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (the host's read). The speaker says the cultural narrative is that Benjamin Button is Fincher trying to do Gump.
    “but I do think this is like the cultural narrative of this movie is he's trying to do Gump, right?”

Big Fish (2003): 1 line

  1. unmapped (attempt at a Gump) · through Forrest Gump (1994), which they scored: Forrest Gump ⇒ Big Fish (the host's read). Studios kept trying to replicate Gump; Big Fish was one attempt.
    “And Big Fish is an attempt at a gump.”

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013): 1 line

  1. unmapped (attempt at a Gump) · through Forrest Gump (1994), which they scored: Forrest Gump ⇒ The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (the host's read). Walter Mitty is another attempt at a Gump a couple of years after Button.
    “A couple years after this, Walter Middy's an attempt at a gump.”
