Overly sentimental and a terrible message

Rating: Null/10 (24 November 1999)

The film is not a great as many people would have us believe. The film is in fact just an excuse to absolve the entire baby boomer generation. I also think that the film teaches us to never defy authority. Think about Forrest never questions and he succeeds as a result. The film is at best an over glorified retard film. It is merely a decent film that attempts greatness. Its enormous popularity is another example of the people being doped into a waste of time. The film is a technical masterpiece and I think it deserves some credit. I can appreciate the packaging but not what is inside.
