Revolutionary for Its Time

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 2016)

Forrest Gump has always been one of my favorite movies, and it remains a classic of American films. From its ability to put Tom Hanks' character in different historic backgrounds to the amazing cinematography, this film never fails to entertain. I recommend it to anyone, regardless of preference of genre because this film has a little bit of everything.
Tom Hanks is one component of makes this film so timeless. He is able to completely transform into this eccentric yet somewhat brilliant character of Forrest Gump and make us believe that he is real. I am able to say, with confidence, that this film would not be the same without Tom Hanks' acting.
