My momma always say, "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you gonna get." Forrest Gump tells the story of a slow-witted person who's led a blessed life. With a caring and strong-willed mother, Forrest was brought up and given all the opportunities a normal child gets despite his handicap.
Through the incidents of bullying in school, he discovered his talent in running and it was put to good use in college where he played football. Despite being slow-witted, it did not stop him from achieving things in life. He was a soldier that earned a medal of honour, represented the country to play table tennis, owner of a successful shrimp business, and was present in a number of historical events. such as the Vietnam war and the Watergate scandal. Throughout his life, he made three great friends, Jenny, his childhood friend and sweetheart, Bubba (Mykelti Williamson), his buddy in the army, and Lt. Dan (Gary Sinise), his commander in the army who he saved in the Vietnam war. He's managed to achieve a lot but the only one thing he fails to do is to keep his sweetheart Jenny by his side.
With a heart-warming story and light-hearted humour littered throughout the movie, this is definitely one of my top-rated movies. The graphics work also deserves praise as they managed to put Forrest into the actual footages of some of the historical events that were covered in the movie.
