This Movie Sucks!!!

Rating: 9/10 (11 June 2008)

just kidding. i love this movie. i mean, it makes me cry every time i see it.
Robert Zemeckis has never been better as a director. Tom Hanks has never been better as an actor. the screenplay by Eric Roth absolutely sparkles with imagination. i tried reading the novel by Winston Groom once and couldn't handle it. i thought it was pretty awful compared to the writing of the film.
a multi-generational film, it is an interesting take on the "American Dream" as we have come to know it in the past half century of American history. though 1994's Pulp Fiction is probably the better film of the two, Forrest Gump is clearly more charming and thus an undeniably worthy winner of that year's Oscar for Best Picture.
it's a known fact that the only people who don't like this movie are Osama bin Laden, Captain Hook, Cruella DeVil, and Sauron.
