I loved this movie since I was little

Rating: 10/10 (24 January 2014)

I remember seeing this movie for the first time when I was eight years old. My grandfather always showed this to us when we were younger. It became one of my favorite movies , not because of the story line , but what it meant to me in real life. I remember watching the beginning when Forrest had his legs braces, like me. I thought "He is like me and I know how it is to be teased." considering I have mild cerebral palsy this movie meant my life and how I can see others treat you different when you have "special legs". I learned from this movie just because you have special legs and you are not considered "smart" don't let that hold you back. It never did and I'am thankful for this movie. People need to understand just because you have a disability does not mean we are stupid. We can do many things.
