Seriously, if you haven't seen the movie Forest Gump you have problems.
I love that movie!

Forrest Gump is a decent film and all (I like Gary Sinise's character a lot) but I have a few problems with it:
- The overwhelming sentimentality of it
- That 'life is like a box of chocolates' rubbish
- The film's slightly disturbing message, Forrest goes to Vietnam and serves his country without questioning anything and becomes famous, meets presidents and the like. His love Jenny joins a bunch of anti-war hippies and descends into a spiral of drink and drugs, and winds up dying of AIDS most probably. But maybe I'm reading way too much into it.
- It beat Pulp Fiction AND The Shawshank Redemption to Best Film at the Oscars!

Awesome movie
Mods hate me because they know they'll never be as cooll as me!
My mama always said EoFF is like a box of chocolates...it's sweet and nice in small amounts, but inevitably sickening and unhealthy.
There is no signature here. Move along.
I still think that Pulp Fiction should have won for Best Picture that year and not Forrest Gump![]()
The books are much better ... but the movie isn't bad .
Chuck Noblet: Can anyone tell me the tragic irony of the Trojan War? Tina? Tina: Um, that horses are friendly creatures yet a hollow, wooden one was used to destroy Troy? Chuck Noblet: Wrong and no. Anyone else? Chip? Chip: That the mighty warrior Achilles was killed by a small cut to his ankle. Chuck Noblet: Chip is wronger. OK, here it is. The tragic irony of the Trojan War is that though it was fought over Helen, who was young and beautiful, by the time they rescued her ten years later, she was old and ugly. Tina: But wasn't recovering the king's wife reward enough for the Greeks? Chuck Noblet: Tina, an ugly woman is never a reward.
You could always ask a mod to do it ;D
Anyways. I've never seen the movie in its entirety, but I have been forced to watch it bits of it numerous times. And every single time has been in German class.
I don't have much of an opinion on it, but from what I saw, I was not very interested.
Overall, the film is better than average but far from the best movie ever made (Plenty would argue it wasn't even the best film of its year). Hanks though, solidified his career as one of the finer actors America has ever produced and overall, the movie was very enjoyable on many levels.
The film definitely spread a heckuva a lot of catch-phrases too.
Take care all.
