Forrest Gump opinion

Rating: 10/10 (26 February 2014)

What makes Forrest Gump great is not the acting or the setting but the story. It is incredible how it manages to tell the hole life of a man in only 142 min. Starting from childhood and up to late mid-life. It is stunning to see his evolution over the years, from high school to army, businessman and father in the smallest details and it is remarkable how fluent the storytelling is.
Throughout the hole movie I never felt that there was anything out of order. Everything had it's place and was there to serve a specific purpose. From the diverse locations to the smallest details like army uniforms or the relationships with minor or episodic characters. Nothing was left to chance.
All the characters felt believable and natural thanks to the incredible acting. Tom Hanks really gave life to Forrest, besides this there is not much else to say, mainly because all the actors gave outstanding performances.
It is not an easy job to win 6 Oscars, but this proves just how good this movie really is. You can't satisfy everybody, but you can't say that Forrest Gump is not an outstanding movie that deserves it's place as one of the best movies of 90's and of all time.
