A heartwarming, uplifting take on human nature, Hanks and Zemeckis create sure magic

Rating: 10/10 (14 December 2005)

**** Tom Hanks, Gary Sinise, Robin Wright, Sally Fields, Mykelti Williamsin. Directed by Robert Zemeckis. Zemeckis again takes you to a magical world of heart warming devotion and true human spirit as Forrest Gump (Gentle Hanks) a slightly gifted man sees the world through one magical experience after another.Through the heart of Vietnam with Lt. Dan (Shining Sinise) and around the world to his teenage sweetheart Jenny (Wright). Hanks leading this ensemble cast that is one of the 90's greatest films and one of the most devoted films and brilliantly written by Eric Roth based on the novel by Winston Groom. Of course in the creative mind of Zemeckis the movie was bound for greatness, and showing a Tim Burton like creativity escalating to six academy awards (Best Picture non the less). My final rating 10/10
