Power of Innocence and Willpower

Rating: 10/10 (24 April 2020)

Undoubtedly the character 'Forrest Gump' played by Tom Hanks is the best in his acting career. This movie is beyond just a story. It tells the philosophy of life. An innocent man with an IQ of as low as 75 achieves many milestones in his life only due to strong willpower. It also shows that our subconscious mind can create wonders if we stop doubting ourselves. The love story of Forrest and his childhood sweetheart Jenny (Robin Wright) is really heartwarming. The movie also takes us through few important historical events of US in the last few decades.
Probably the best part of the movie is its storytelling. The whole movie can be described in a nutshell with the help of a tagline "Life is like a box of chocolates...you never know what you're gonna get". This movie also teaches us that honesty and innocence is required rather than cleverness to achieve something great in life.
This is one of my favorites. It may happen that you cannot comprehend the movie first time you watch as it happened with me. The second time I watched with more attention and undoubtedly I can say "Forrest Gump is a masterpiece."
