Wonderful

Rating: 10/10 (14 March 2009)

My husband and I have seen this movie at least 20 times and each time we see or hear something we missed before. It is the most heart warming movie with many lessons of life. A child starting out with a handicap that in those days he was remarkable in his handling of it. He was not low functioning though he could have been if not for family and then on to all of his experiences that he entered so innocently. The showing of all of the times from discrimination to the "flower children and Vietnam" was amazing and quite a history lesson. The warmth and humor in the movie was so tastefully done and the acting of all the major characters were superb. We need more movies like it and how it displays that people can be different and still contribute to this world in a big way. My husband will keep right on watching this movie if not on TV we will watch our own DVD. Thank you Forrest Gump. Life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you're gonna get.
