Forrest Gump is an outstanding movie; Tom Hanks and Sally Fields

played excellent rolls. The characters of Forrest Gump and Mrs.

Gump could have only been played by Tom Hanks and Sally Fields.

The movie took place in a small town in Alabama during the 1950'

through the 1980's. The story began with Forrest not being

allowed to attend public school due to an IQ of 75.

His mother convinced the school officials to allow Forrest to

attend public school. Forrest was laughed at and bullies threw

rocks at him. Forrest's only friend, Jenny encourged him to run

as fast as he could. After high school Forrest received a

football scholarship to the University of Alabama where he

excelled carrying the football. After graduating from the

university Forrest joined the Army and was sent to Vietnam

where he had to run for his life. During his tour in Vietnam

Forrest met Bubba and they became best friends. Bubba encouraged

Forrest to go into the shrimping business after he got out of

the Army. Forrest became a wealthy man, however he gave much of

his money away. When Forrest got word his mama was sick he went

home to take care of her. After Mrs. Gump's death Jenny came

back into Forrest's life and they eventually married.

Mrs. Gump would tell Forrest "life is like a box of

chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get", "stupid is as

stupid does", and if God had intended for everyone to be the

same, he would have given everyone braces".

I recommend this movie to everyone. Forrest Gump is rated PG

13; It is the best movie that I have seen.

Life- Changing!
This is the most Life-Changing video I have ever watched. My number one favourite, it follows a mentally challenged man from Alabama in the most crucial decades of the century. What will leave you watching this is Forrest's good heart. He hasn't a clue of the evil in the real world, and lives his life on a gentle breeze. The ending is remarkable! When he is talking at the end under "He and Jenny's tree", I can't help but cry. What is also entertaining is how he tells the people he sits with on the bus-stop's bench his life story. A line my mom and I laugh over is when he almost sounds annoyed as he says," And I met the President of the United States, again" and he rolls his eyes. All in all, Forrest Gump is a must see for *almost* all ages-I don't know, I saw it for the first time when I was seven! If after you see this movie you don't feel an appreciation for life knowing that their are people as gentle, and kind as Forrest Gump, and don't wish to move to a town as charming and rural as 'Greenbo', then, well...Go watch Glitter or Crossroads!
