Sweet, Tear-jerking and Memorable

Rating: 8/10 (30 July 2012)

"Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you might get." This rings so true from this story of perseverance, survival and love. 'Forrest Gump' is such a beloved classic drama from the 1990s starring Tom Hanks as the title character (he won the Best Actor Oscar that year for this film), a simple man from Alabama who experienced many life-changing events from the Vietnam War in which he served to the end of his beloved's life from an unknown virus (she is played by Robin Wright(she no longer has Penn attached these days)). This film touches the heart of any viewer as he or she watches how the world changes in the eyes of this simple country man with an IQ of 70. This is an ingenious story that will make you want to watch this over and over again.
