Run Forrest run!!!

Rating: 10/10 (30 June 2006)

Forrest Gump is one of those epic films, which .. like Donnie Darko is not most exciting action film with amazingly skillful stunts etc, but its got something special that nobody can take away from it, to stop its being special. Tom Hanks is such an adaptable actor, ranging from a relatively normal everyday role in "Splash" to his more intelligent and formal role in "The Da Vinci Code" movie release. In FG, he inevitably gives his best in the portrayal of Forrest, an individual whose IQ is no greater than 75 - just over the borderline of appearing mentally challenged. However, despite the fact that he has no real aspirations in life, he does know one important thing, he loves Jenny and he enjoys the simple things in life, mainly because he can understand and cherish them more readily, and they are easily accessible too. He is a wholly lovable character and the audience will remember this film for a long time after first watching it. Watch it now. Mel x
