Best film of all time.

Rating: 10/10 (1 October 1998)

The rest of the comments in the comments section seem like they are talking about another movie. What does Forest Gump lack? Plot? Imagination? Originality? Excellent acting? By all means, none of those! Why should it be compared to The Shawshank Redemption, I can't comprehend. These are both excellent movies, but of a very different genre. Personally, I wasn't as touched watching The Shawshank Redemption, and never have I laughed as much as was moved in the same movie.
Hanks' acting was the apogee of his career, not even outmatched by his role in Saving Private Ryan, which I loved, and consider the greatest war film of all time.
The story is indeed eye-watering. An improvement of the novel. Behind the character of Forest Gump hides a philosophy.... An awe to the man who knew nothing yet lived them all.
Merely, Forest Gump is a classic.
