One of the best movies ever made,and will stay a favorite of mine....

Rating: 10/10 (12 September 2002)

I saw this movie, years ago, when it was first released, and am
commenting on it now, years later, as it is and always will be one
of my favorite films. Everyone has a little, or a lot of Forrest in
them. Though not all share his IQ, or his talents, I think all people
share some of his heart. Forrest is the ultimate everyman. His
positive outlook on life, no matter the instance, and enjoyment of
the small things, is something that inspires. Also Lt. Dan is
relatable for the rest of us, who have a more pessimistic outlook
on things, but even in the end, he sees how to be grateful for his
life, and live it, which is what most people want, I think. The love
story between Forrest and Jenny, is also one of the most beautiful
in film history I feel, entirely pure to the core, yet not a perfect
journey, or ending. The incredible acting by the entire cast, but
especially the three leads, just cemente this beautiful story as one
of the greatest films ever made. The score is also amazing, and
helps us along the journey, to get lost in Forrest's world.
