I don't think I've ever heard of this movie. I guess it's really old, if it won an Oscar but I've never heard of it?

Do you consider 1994 old?Originally Posted by I'm my own MILF
Yeah, it's not as good as its hype would indicate. But it is a classic. And Captain is definitely right about the catch-phrases. Run, Forrest, run!
Awesome movie. Crappy thread title.
I thought the movie was epic myself.
Stupid is as stupid does!
Boy, he sure is stupid but he can run touchdowns!
I like the part where he said he never saw any of that money from his "Million Dollar Wound"
I've seen about half. I liked it a lot.
Meh. Decent. But not nearly as "moving" and "deep" as it's made out to be. It's a verrry overrated movie.
And if I hear "life is like a box of chocolates..." one more time, there will be blood spilled.
Yeah this was one of my fav movies besides A.I. But the annoying part of the movie was "Ruen Forest Ruen!" the whole pronouncing oof run was just like that but I like the part where he says "Life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you're gonna get"
But that's a stupid line as you DO know what you're going to get with a box of chocolates as they have something inside which tells you what each one is!
I tend to over-analyse these things... XD
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
I heard the book was a lot better than the movie.
Good movie. Amazing soundtrack...
Didn't like it that much.
"I think you'd make any (nice) woman happy... & I think you really deserve for someone to make you happy too for a change"
I like movies that leave the audience with a question, and I think this one left a humdinger. Is it better to live a life of ignorance, to not know the people make fun of you or hate you for what you are, but to find love and to be happy, or is it better to know your stance in the world, and to understand what it is to hurt? Out of everything that could hurt him through the course of the film and the novel, Forrest was genuinely hurt by one thing; (SPOILER)the death of Jenny. The death of Bubba and of his mother didn't affect him quite so much as her's did.
I can't remember the question in relation to Animal Farm because it's been a long time, but it's a parallel to the Socratic pig thing, I felt. The movie executes this idea wonderfully, mainly due to the acting in it. The direct was okay, and while I do love the soundtrack, the music selection gave the film a nostaligic feeling, which I didn't think was very appropriate.
I like this movie a lot.
Signature by rubah. I think.
