I just re watched Forrest Gump on Netflix and it was excellent. I usually don't get surprised if a certain movie has a criminally low score on Rotten tomatoes since I don't expect the people who claim Black Panther is the greatest movie ever made to have brains. But the 71% tomatometer score of this movie was just down right insulting. This is a heart warming yet powerful movie that deserves a spot in the list of greatest movies ever made.
If you haven't seen this movie for some odd reasons, this essentially is a historical drama telling major events of American history through the eyes of Forrest Gump, a low IQ Alabama man who coincidentally encounters those events. He experiences many worlds ,many occupation all because he trusted this world and the people he met. Many criticize the film for having a very bad moral that the more stupid you are the more successful you will be. If you are one of those people, you are misunderstanding this whole movie. If this movie was just about Forrest acting stupid that argument will be valid. But what this movie wants to ask you is whether life has a purpose or it is just a coincidence. The movie does not offer a answer, but it does offer hints. Throughout the movie Forrest meets many people that shape him and become a influence in his life. Those are his mother, Jenny, lieutenant Dan, and Bubba. Yes Forrest did live a life that was full of coincidences. But the people he met and how they shaped him serve as counter point to the idea that life is coincidental. If you have this movie a negative review, I ask you to review watch it and think to yourself as you watch it. I am pretty sure you would have a different view on the movie after you watch it.
Overall this is a phenomenal movie that is a heart warming feel good movie that is powerful at the same time. It is filled with great lines and memorable performances of course from Tom Hanks and many other. Though I don't give a lot of these out, I think I will give this a 10/10 and a A+.
