The world will never be the same once you've seen it through the eyes of Forrest Gump.

Forrest Gump is the Best Picture Academy Award winner for 1994, and this is one of
those few times that I agree with the Academy. Gump is an outstanding film that,
I think, will stand up to the test of time. Gump has the right mix of humor and
drama and every time you think it's going to go overboard on the humor it comes back
with excellent drama that balances the whole thing out.
One of the keys to the film that keeps it honest is Tom Hanks. Hanks manages to
play Forrest straight throughout the film even when the humor is really over the
top. This helps keep the film grounded when it could have taken a much different
path and the film would have lost some of it's innocent charm while the dramatic
parts wouldn't have paid off as well. What I'm really saying is, Tom Hanks makes
it all work and for that he deserves his Best Actor Oscar. Another great
contribution to the film is Gary Sinise's performance as Lt. Dan. There have been
a few films where I could have lived without Sinise's performances but here he is
golden.
The bottom line is that Forrest Gump is a great movie that tells the story of a
generation better than some of the more serious films that cover the same time
period. If you haven't seen Gump and have just heard a bunch of quotes like "Life
is like a box of chocolates..." and think this is just another mindless Hollywood
film, then I would recommend that you see Forrest Gump. It's a Hollywood film, but
it's quite a bit deeper than the quotes would lead you to believe. It's good drama
too.

I will never see this movie again.
I must admit that the first time I saw this movie I was fairly entertained.....however I rank this movie right up there with The Legend of the Lone
Ranger in repeat value....as in it has none. I sat through about the first half of this movie at a friends house while intaking various alcholic
beverages which is Drunken Masters norm........and I felt punished....actually punished for watching this. IF I wanted to hear about every kind
of shrimp food there was I'm not gonna let some retard tell me that while I'm using a toothbrush to shine my Drill
Sergeants asspipe. Now I know that Sean Penn has a penchant for abusing women....and if I was stupid enough to be cast as a retards love interest in a movie like this then when
I walk in the door I would fucking god damn demand to have my ass whooped good....EVERY SINGLE DAY! Oh god this movie bites in the worst possible way.
I know this is supposed to be a feel good movie for the everyman who gets passed over on a daily basis but what in fucking all thats fucking fucked
fuck fuck fuck fuck. I'm in the fuck saying mood if you can't fucking tell. This movie is the
equivalent of having a puck ass dwarf stop off at your house every morning and stomp on your balls for a half hour for your morning workout. Any scene where this retard does something humanly impossible
or extraordinary make my stomach turn like a tequila hangover vomit....the kind that your head is deep inside the bowels of where you normally
are giving your "Brown" to the great white gods (I use brown lovingly because
they steal my soul on a daily basis) Your hands in a death grip on
the sides while your stomach rides the Texas Giant while it continually heaves its contents into a splashy grave that smells oh so sweet....That
acidy sweet smell that vaguely reminds you of something you may have eaten earlier....but it's
visible comparisons are nothing close to resemblance. Oh and I forgot to mention the altered black and white scenes that are supposed to endear us to the lovable retard........Fuck "Run
forest Run!"
Run into a wall shortly before a Crown Victoria impales you upon the wall and implodes thanks to its superior
American design.
