One of the Saddest Movies Ever

Rating: 8/10 (16 January 2005)

I just watched Forrest Gump tonight for the first time in a long time. It is one of the saddest movies ever.
It's just an amazing movie, and its power comes from the titular character. What makes it so powerful is that Forrest has little comprehension of just how lucky he is. Being as "slow" as he is, he has no need for, or probably has never felt complex human emotion. Everything he feels is simple but true, which makes his journey so touching.
Watching this movie will have an effect on you; it'll make you assess your station in life and maybe it'll push you to define yourself and your role in existence.
Definitely see this if you haven't yet. And bring some Kleenex.
