December 31: Forrest Gump

December 31, 1971

Forrest and Lieutenant Dan's New Year's Eve celebration proves even more depressing than their Christmas.  Frankly, I'm of the opinion that any non-sporting celebration that involves television is depressing enough, even without dumb party hats and sour encounters with hookers.

December 25: Forrest Gump

December 25, 1971

Forrest and Lieutenant Dan spend one of the most depressing Christmases ever, with Bob Hope neglected on the tv.

Well, almost. Seems like they couldn't actually have seen the broadcast for another month or so. "The most memorable Bob Hope Christmas specials were, without a doubt, his 1970 and 1971 episodes. Filmed in front of military audiences at the height of the Vietnam War, these specials actually aired in January –after Hope was back in the United States— and were seen by more than sixty percent of television-viewing households in America. Like his other Christmas specials, the Vietnam shows were all about celebrating the traditional joy, peace and good cheer of the season. His use of humor, beautiful women and talented performers were a welcome respite from the horrors of the war itself." pressemeldungen.at

December 24: The Apartment

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring... nothin'... no action... dullsville!

December 21: Adaptation

The prosecutor then rose and read the state's charges - that on December 21, 1994, Laroche and his three Seminole assistants had illegally removed more than two hundred rare orchid and bromeliad plants from the Fakahatchee and were apprehended leaving the swamp in possession of four cotton pillowcases full of flowers."
The Orchid Thief, by Susan Orleans

December 20: Zodiac

First Zodiac letter (received August 1 1969) refers to December 20 1968 murder

December 8, 1980

A few years after appearing on the Dick Cavett Show with John Lennon, "that nice young man from England was on his way home to see his little boy and was signing some autographs. For no particular reason at all, somebody shot him."

December 7: State & Main

December 6: The Lovely Bones

"I was 14 years old when I was murdered. On December sixth, 1973."

December 6: The Wind That Shakes The Barley

The Wind That Shakes The Barley

The Anglo-Irish Treaty was signed in London by representatives of the British government and envoys of the Irish Republic on December 6, 1921.

 

December 2: Casablanca

Five days before the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The Pearl Harbour attack began on December 7 at 7:48 AM Honolulu time, which would have been 6:48 PM Casablanca time the same day. As long as Rick signed the cheque after 11 AM December 2 in Casablanca, it would have also been December 2 in Hawaii.

November 23: Across The Universe

November 23, 1967 – Thanksgiving

Jude: We don't have it in England. Is it a big deal?
Max: It's a heartwarming American tradition.
Lucy: It celebrates the time when the indians shared their food with the early settlers.

And how did we repay them? We slaughtered them in thousands and shipped them off to the shittiest bits of real estate.

November 22: Forrest Gump

November 22, 1963

"Sometime later, for no particular reason, somebody shot that nice young President when he was ridin' in his car. And a few years after that somebody shot his little brother, too, only he was in a hotel kitchen."

November 18: Zodiac

November 17: Forrest Gump

No telling what day it is when Forrest sits on the bus stop bench and tells his story, but that particular People magazine is dated November 17, 1980.

Curiously enough - but completely coincidentally - but still fascinating, for a numbers geek, in a movie about numbers geeks - the time code for the screen capture above is 42:42. Twice "21", two times.

November 1: The Apartment

On November 1st, 1959, the population of New York City was 8,042,783. If you laid all these people end to end, figuring an average height of five feet six and a half inches, they would reach from Times Square to the outskirts of Karachi, Pakistan.

The morning after the Lincoln Monument rally, Washington DC

October 21: Forrest Gump

Oct 21 1967: 70,000 demonstrators came to Washington, D.C. to "Confront the War Makers." 

The biggest rally was held at the Lincoln Monument on the D.C. Mall. During the afternoon, people lined the reflecting pool and listened to speeches by Dave Dellinger and Dr. Benjamin Spock...  

After the speeches, about 50,000 people set off to exorcise the Pentagon. The brainchild of Abbie Hoffman...

The plan was for people to sing and chant until it levitated and turned orange, driving out the evil spirits and ending the war in Viet Nam. 

By the way, it was a year later that Abbie Hoffman was arrested in Washington DC for wearing a shirt that resembled the design of an American flag.  "I wore the shirt because I was going before the un-American Activities Committee of the House of Representatives, and I don’t particularly consider that committee American, and I don’t consider that House of Representatives particularly representative. And I wore the shirt to show that we were in the tradition of the founding fathers of this country.”

Who knows, maybe he wore one in 1967 too. Or maybe it's a bit of poetic license on the part of the filmmakers.  If you want to dig into all this yourself, one place to look would be Jo Freeman's "Levitate The Pentagon" page, from which I plagiarized a bunch of the information in this post.

His older brother, Ade, persistently plagues him with criticism, and their mother has started drinking again. Unbeknownst to most, Tunde has orchestrated the return of his long estranged father, resurrecting unresolved family anguish against the backdrop of Tunde's celebration. As the day turns to night, old wounds are re-opened and bad habits are revived.

Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in 12 minutes. Didn't see the first shark for about a half an hour. Tiger. 13-footer. You know how you know that when you're in the water, Chief? You tell by looking from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn't know, was our bomb mission had been so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn't even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin', so we formed ourselves into tight groups. You know, it was kinda like old squares in the battle like you see in the calendar named "The Battle of Waterloo" and the idea was: shark comes to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin' and hollerin' and screamin' and sometimes the shark go away... but sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometimes that shark he looks right into ya. Right into your eyes. And, you know, the thing about a shark... he's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be living... until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then... ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin'. The ocean turns red, and despite all the poundin' and the hollerin', they all come in and they... rip you to pieces. You know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men. I don't know how many sharks, maybe a thousand. I know how many men, they averaged six an hour. On Thursday morning, Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player. Boatswain's mate. I thought he was asleep. I reached over to wake him up. Bobbed up, down in the water just like a top. Upended. Well, he'd been bitten in half below the waist. Noon, the fifth day, Mr. Hooper, a Lockheed Ventura saw us. He swung in low and he saw us... he was a young pilot, a lot younger than Mr. Hooper. Anyway, he saw us and he come in low and three hours later a big fat PBY comes down and starts to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened... waitin' for my turn. I'll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went in the water; 316 men come out and the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb.

The 12th Street Riots, Detroit: Sunday July 23 through Wednesday July 27

In the film, the riots seem contemporaneous with the funeral for Lucy's boyfriend, which occurs after Thanksgiving 1967, but in fact the first Detroit riots occurred in July 1967, the second in April 1968, sparked by the April 4 assassination of Martin Luther King)

"12th Street was a hub of activity in the inner city. The goings on there ranged from legal operations to after hours drinking establishments. One such establishment, run by a man named William Scott became the target of the Detroit Police Departments vice squad on the evening in question. It was approximately. 3:35 in the morning in question when they decided to make their move. At the time, there were about 85 people in the bar. They were holding a party for some servicemen that had just returned home from Viet Nam. Sensing that they were outnumbered, the police called in for reinforcements and soon the paddy wagons began arriving en masse to haul them away.
Word began to spread throughout the neighborhood and soon the streets were lined with people watching the goings on. Interest in the actions of the police was fueled by a rumor that a black prostitute had been shot and killed by them a few days before. Although the rumor turned out to be untrue, it left a bad taste in mouths of the residents. Another rumor began to take hold. Word spread that the patrons were being beaten as they were led away from the bar. Soon, thousands of people took to the streets and the looting began in earnest. Around 6:30 in the morning, the first fires broke out. Not long afterwards, entire blocks were in flames. By around noon, every cop and fireman on the payrolls in Detroit was called into duty. Their numbers weren't enough and the rioting continued throughout the day. Firemen were assaulted as they tried to put out the blazes that were rapidly spreading through the city.
Recognizing that disaster was imminent, the then mayor of Detroit, Jerome P. Cavanaugh looked to the governor's office for help. The governor, George Romney, responded by sending in another 300 members of the state police. Still these numbers were not enough. By this time, the riot had spread to about a 100 block area and it was time to call for more reinforcements.
The next call was made and a local unit of the National Guard numbering about 8000 personnel was mobilized but didn't arrive until the early in the evening. By that time, over 1000 people had been arrested and five people were dead in the streets. Still, the rioting went on.
The next day, Monday, was to fare no better. 16 more people were killed by either the police or by members of the National Guard. The people began to arm themselves and began taking potshots at firemen as they tried to put out the flames. Things were beginning to spill even further out of control at an amazing pace. Sensing a city under siege, George Romney called upon President Lyndon Johnson to bring in the troops. Johnson responded by shipping in nearly 2000 army paratroopers replete with tanks and armored personnel carriers in order to quell the riots.
The next day, Tuesday (July 26), saw the streets being patrolled by tanks and soldiers armed with automatic weapons. 10 more people would die that day and still the fires burned throughout the night. Wednesday saw another 12 people die as the fighting in the streets continued."

The first protest (Mar 28, 1968) occurred eight days before Martin Luther King's assassination (Apr 4, 1968). In response to the Columbia Administration's attempts to suppress anti-IDA student protest on its campus, and Columbia's plans for the Morningside Park gymnasium, Columbia SDS activists and the student activists who led Columbia's Student Afro Society (SAS) held a second, confrontational demonstration on April 23, 1968.The students who occupied the buildings demanded an end to Columbia University's involvement with the IDA, an end to the gym construction project in Morningside Park and amnesty for all participants in the demonstrations. The protests came to a conclusion in the early morning hours of April 30, 1968, when the NYPD violently quashed the demonstrations. The buildings occupied by Whites however were cleared violently as approximately 150 students were injured and taken to hospitals, while over 700 protesters were arrested.

Dyer said he had taught them a moral lesson. Gandhi and his followers responded not with violence, but with an organized campaign of non-cooperation. Government buildings were occupied. Streets were blocked with people who refused to rise, even when beaten by police. Gandhi was arrested, but the British were soon forced to release him. He called it a moral victory.
