One of top 100 Films of All Time
This movie is in my list of one of the top 100 Films of All Time if you want to see a truly touching and depressing story of a boy who is a little slower than other little boys and has some handicap disabilities grow up and all his amazing encounters in very historical times and events in US History this is the story for you There is no questioning Tom Hanks acting skills as he is one of the greatest actors of all time give him any role and he can play it one would say playing a slow person would be easy I will speak on the behalf of Mr. Hanks and say it is not this is as I said earlier a classic.

If you did not like this movie after viewing if you must have a black heart

Run for the Academy Awards Forrest, run!!!!
I don't usually care what the critics say about movies but in this case I agree with them and as result I feel "Forrest Gump" is one of the top movies of all time. It's a timetable of events in US history that are seen through the eyes of a less than smart FG played by the versatile Tom Hanks. Segregation, race riots, JFK, Vietnam, war protests, LBJ and Watergate are all covered here in new perspectives. Gump achieves greatness as a football hero, war hero, ping-pong champion and a shrimping millionaire but the love of his life, Jenny, shuns him until the end of her life when her abuses catch up to her. Sally Fields plays his Mother and is wonderful. FG is a great blend of comedy, drama and sadness. A marvelous achievement in film making.

Well Done
I don't know how some people can slam this picture. It is well crafted and entertaining throughout, and Hanks is charming and brilliant in the role of Forrest Gump. Playing a character with a low IQ, it could have come off as silly or unrealistic. Instead, Hanks delivers a very layered performance, that makes you care for Gump as he travels through American pop culture and history from the 50's to the 70's. Outstanding people surround Hanks and raise his performance even higher. While the possibility of one simple man coming into contact with so many famous people and events is far fetched, the story is done well enough that it is believeable throughout.
