    From comedy to drama, Tom Hanks is everything an actor is supposed to be.. I've always said that great acting is when the actor takes a scene and makes the audience feel like it's really happening and not just reading from a script. Tom had the ability to do that. A well deserved honor.

I was raised on the greats from my dad Grant,Flynn,Tracy,Fonda, Stewart,Peck, and then when I was a teenager in the 70's with George C.Scott, Newman,Redford,Eastwood,Wayne, Connery,Nicholson,Brando...you aren't gonna top those guys, but yeah he has an excellent body of work. When I first saw him I wasn't impressed,. I was dead wrong. His face and eyes are so expressive in a moving scene...doesn't have to say a thing. That's when you have a Hell of an Actor.

    I wanted my mom to see his new movie "Forrest Gump"... but as she was coming to the end of her life, she said she just didn't have the strength. "Tell me the story." So I did. And she wept and laughed along. It was the last story she heard....and she LOVED it. Thank you for that wonderful memory, Mr. Hanks.

In later years of her life she wanted me to tell her a story but I did not know any and could not create one. Not until the day she died. Thank you for sharing this because it makes me glad to know that I am not odd for what I did.

      Now she's fully institutionalized due to dementia and I'm so glad we had that night of movie magic😍.

    • @kevinw712
      @kevinw712 5 лет назад +6

      This admittedly isn't directly related, but I still think speaks very well of Tom Hanks, and your comment reminded me of it... as much as I enjoyed Robert Zemeckis' film "Flight", it came out I believe Christmas of 2015, starring Denzel Washington as a commercial airline pilot who pulls off an unprecedented emergency landing with a faulty plane saving the lives of most of the passengers and crew, but the subsequent attention quickly shows he's got some major skeletons in his closet, and was high and drunk while working, meaning he can go to jail for manslaughter for the handful of casualties. Denzel did a very fine job in the role, just as I'd expect him to. But especially considering it was Zemeckis who directed it, who's already worked with Hanks a number of times, I couldn't help but wonder if he was cast, it could've been a truly legendary performance. He finally played a sort of 'bad guy' character in "Road To Perdition" in that he was a mob hit man, but he was still basically the protagonist of the story. I'd really love to see him go to even a more extreme of a gray area place in a role, and it seemed like "Flight" could've been perfect for that.

    Such a class act. He was genuinely in awe of all the performers. He was thankful, and he was the first to stand in applause! He was being celebrated on that occasion, but it felt like he was just a member of the audience, and in humility, gave a standing ovation for all the performances. Truly, not only talent, but also a good heart.

      @@pdoylemi I want to add that Jimmy Stewart became the first major American movie star to enlist in the United States Army to fight in World War II.
      Stewart fought his celebrity status to avoid being relegated to duties beyond the lines.
      From 1943 to 1945, he flew 20 bombing missions as the lead pilot of a B-24 liberator.
      He didn't fly the milk runs, and his missions
      included bombing raids to Berlin, Brunswick, Bremen, Frankfurt, and Schweinfurt.
      His most memorable mission, Stewart served as the flight leader of a 1000 plane raid to Berlin. By the end of the war he had risen to the rank of Colonel.
      My comment is not about glorifying war, nor about diminishing Tom Hanks' achievements on and off the screen, many of which I am sure we are not aware off due to his modesty. Just like Stewart.
      I just thought it was worth mentioning.

    This is the best homage I had the privilege to watch, and the most deserving. I cried like The TOM Hanks was my significant-other. Maybe because I grew up watching all his movies which are amongst my favorites. I admire him as a good person and as an artist par excellence.

    Thank you for sharing this. I don't have television and didn't know he had been honored. In my opinion, very few actors this day come close to the caliber of Jimmy Stewart for depth of sincerity, courage to take on imaginary rabbits or the early days of AIDS, and the sweetness and humility of a character like Forrest Gump. I liked Tom in romantic roles, but how much I, and we, would have missed if he had been typecast in only one genre of acting. This was a beautiful tribute to one who stood up for our veterans, namely the WWII veterans, and made the country aware they should have a monument. Tom has been truly blessed by God with many gifts and talents. I think he has used them well.

      It's no accident he has for quite a long time now often been particularly referred to as the Jimmy Stewart of the late 20th century and beyond.

    I was in my very early teens when Bosom Buddies came out. I was a fan from the very first episode. What really made me sit up and take notice of him as an actor, though, was his role in Big. You could see the little boy looking out from the eyes of this grown up body and it was absolutely mesmerizing to watch. Such a funny and genuinely nice guy.

And I'm proud that Martin Short is a fellow Canadian and did such an awesome job!!!
