Genius
This is one of those special times in life where you find genius masked by duncehood. A movie you will never forget, and never stop learning from.

ONE OF THE CUTEST MOVIES EVER
Forrest Gump is a classical. Taking apart the fact that Tom Hanks is one of my 4 favorites actors (TH, Dustin Hoffman, Robert De Niro y Robin Williams), this is one of the most touching and innocent movies I have ever seen. The messages are so subtle and nice, it makes you laugh and makes you cry....it is so beautiful. I love this movie. And of course, it has a special place in my personal collection.

...a mesmerizing and epical movie
Forrest Gump is a mesmerizing and epical movie directed by Robert Zemeckis (Back To The Future), and starring Tom Hanks (Big) as Forrest, Sally Field (Mrs. Doubtfire) as Forrest's mother, Robin Wright Penn (State Of Grace) as Jenny, Gary Sinise (Ransom) as Lt. Dan Taylor, and Mykelti Williamson (Heat) as Bubba.

Tom Hanks shines as the dim-witted southern simpleton named Forrest Gump who loves his country, his mother, and his only childhood friend Jenny, and that's about it.

The film follows Forrest through an inspiring journey from his childhood in the 50's through his college years and Vietnam in the 60's, to his admirably successful shrimping business venture and settling down with a family which concludes in the early 80's. And throughout this incredible journey, Forrest has no clue how great a person he is and becomes.

We get to share history as it unfolds with Forrest through the simple mind of Forrest himself. We get to meet different people who mark a significance in Forrest's life: his Vietnam buddy, an African American simpleton named Bubba, who constantly talks about shrimps and an interest in starting a shrimping business after the war, Forrest's superior officer in the war, Lt. Dan Taylor, who's saved by Forrest against his will and in the process loses both of his legs. On top of all that, we're amazed at how Forrest gets to meet three US presidents: John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon; and musical icons Elvis Presley and John Lennon, and make history as he becomes a state football champion, a national war hero, and America's ambassador to China as a ping pong player.

Forrest Gump will take you along on his thrilling, funny, and sometimes sad trip through his very simple but stunning life, and you will be unable to pull away from it, not even for a minute.

Another important feature in the film is the soundtrack which covers each period with the songs that defined the era.
