    Interestingly enough, while they used special effects to put Forrest Gump next to John Lennon, Dick Cavett actually came in and filmed his part. They gave him a wig to replicate his 1970s hairstyle, and he joked that he liked it so much he took it home with him.

    What the filmmakers did with the effects in this scene is amazing, yet I can tell the difference in quality between the pieces of footage used in this. Even with the TV filter applied, Tom Hanks and Dick Cavett's scenes are clearly lit differently and do look crystal clear, while John Lennon, who (I believe) was painstakingly rotoscoped, looks a bit blurry, while the chairs Hanks and Cavett contrast with the lighting on Lennon's chair. Wished they could blur the footage more so that they could match with the John Lennon footage while also manipulating Lennon's mouth properly to fit the newly spoken dialogue, as well as hiring a proper sound alike.
    With that out of the way, this film is amazing. 😎

    Technically this scene was so well done but the modified dialogue was odd:

    Cavett: "Hard to imagine"
    Lennon: "Well, it's easy if you try, Dick"
    Lennon would never have argued like that. That sounded more like something a convervative presidential candidate would have said.
