A Timeless Tale

Rating: 9/10 (26 June 2019)

There are few other movies that come to mind that tackle Cold War American history and foreign affairs in such a unique way. Forrest Gump tells a heartwarming story that touches everyone that watches it. Upon seeing it for the first time in a theater for the 25th anniversary screening, I was still astounded at the movie's timeless morals and sentiment. The movie really does not get old. It has its adult content so it may not be fit for kids, but I really believe this is a movie that holds broad appeal. When I was growing up in Florida, my family and I watched this nearly every day on generator power as Hurricane Charlie blew through. As I never grew tired of it then, I still do not today.
