A Story of a Stupid Man, Who Never Did Anything Stupid

Rating: 10/10 (30 September 2005)

In fact, most people in the world who are more mentally capable as Forrest will not be able to do half of what he did. He never made dumb mistakes like getting addicted to crack or dropping out of college. He never did anything wrong, he did the right thing because that is all that he knew.
Forrest became a shrimp boat captain, a war hero, a gardener, a football star and a college graduate. Pretty impressive for a man that everybody called "stupid".
People say that the movie has no plot, no line to follow, but there is. It's Forrest, Forrest Gump. He is the backbone, he is the life line of this movie. What you see through Forrest's eyes are both sad and happy. But to him, it's all a part of life and it's just how you live. He ran across the country many times for what? He just felt like running. Once in awhile, we all feel like running. But we don't run, because we think that it's just a stupid thing to do. Forrest runs and he becomes a national celebrity.
I enjoyed this movie very much, this is my second favorite movie and that means that I can watch it whenever and never be tired of it. It's hard to be tired of someone's life, because that means it doesn't matter anymore. What Forrest Gump did mattered, he fulfilled his destiny. Now it is the question of whether we fulfilled ours.
