deserved every award it got

Simply amazing. Let me start out my saying Tom Hanks was incredible as the title role, and he deserved the Oscar more than anyone else. Good job Tom! Also, the historical aspects, thought, special effects, music, direction, and emotions brought to the screen were very well done. A lot of people don't like this. I wonder why. They are probably the same crowd who thought American Beauty sucked, so, obviously, they wouldn't know a good movie if it kicked them in their dumb-asses. Maybe Forrest Gump's accent or stupidity brought it down for them. Maybe they are prejudice against mentally-challenged people, if so, shame on them. But anyway, great movie....one of the best.......ever.
