One of the best movies I've ever seen

Rating: Null/10 (4 February 2004)

---WARNING MANY SPOILERS THROUGHOUT THIS REVIEW--- I would have to say that Forrest Gump is one of the best movies I have ever seen. This movie will make you laugh and it will make you cry. The fact that Forrest is telling you his story while sitting at a bus stop is an excellent idea. Tom Hanks is the best possible actor to play Forrest Gump, his caring soul and simple outlook on things is truly touching. He lives an incredible life, and he isn't able to realize it, often causing laughter to result. Gary Sinise is perfect for the role of Lt. Dan. He nails, and steals, each scene he's in, and in my opinion, he steals the movie as well. When you see Lt. Dan walk up with his fiance, close to the end, with his new metal legs, it brings me to tears. So does the scene when Lt. Dan has finally accepted what happened, isn't angry anymore, and you see him swimming under the sunset. It's such a touching moment, when you finally see the man Lt. Dan used to be. Also, when Forrest sees his son for the first time, the shock and love on his face, and the grief he has on his face at Jenny's grave. Bottom line, I love this movie, and I give it 10 out of 10 stars.
