Don't Hate, Appreciate

Rating: 10/10 (8 July 2008)

Forrest Gump is one of the most amazing movies I've ever seen. Yes, the events are highly improbable, but that only makes the movie more memorable. I can't help but smile when I think about Forrest accomplishing all those things that, individually, would be the pinnacle of any normal person's life.
The haters on this site need to calm down. FG isn't bashing on education or intelligence or anti-war thinking (it does the opposite, imo) or independent thinking (Jenny struggled b/c she was abused as a child, not b/c she was a rebel). Fact is, education and intelligence don't guarantee happiness or success. Forrest is compassionate, hard-working and is surrounded by people who care very much for his wellbeing. That ultimately, is the more valuable than any degree or IQ score. Sounds very true to me.
