You don't have to be smart to be epic!

Rating: 8/10 (18 May 2020)

Forrest Gump is a wonderfully comprised film that follows the life of Forrest Gump through a series of events that are often comical, influential, and powerfully emotional. Forrest Gump only has an IQ of 75. Ask him if he's stupid. He's going to respond "Stupid is as stupid does." His wit and wisdom here will never leave you, the film just boasts famous quotes after quotes. My favorite quote out of the entire film, is when he tells Jenny "I'm not a smart man. But I know what love is." Forrest Gump, simply put, is a walking miracle, which is amazing, because were talking about someone who once had braces on his legs. And he never goes anywhere without being noticed or heard. If you're sitting next to him waiting for the bus on the bench, he'll have no problem opening up a conversation with you, as he always seems very friendly and polite. That's not to say he's not in touch with his mean side. His protective anger flares up at least once, when he becomes very protective with Jenny in a situation she should have never been in. As he puts it, him and Jenny are like "two peas in a pod", although they seem to wander their own directions, but Gump likes to keep her under his wing. Eventually, they get married, and have a child. Forrest Gump chronicles the legend of over a 30 year period for a person who has been proud to serve his country, have a family, shakes hands with the President of The United States, and make miracles and dreams come true. A film that reminds us all that you don't have to be smart to be this epic, either.
