Hi, I'm Forrest, Forrest Gump.

Rating: Null/10 (25 July 2002)

SPOILERS!! This film is a brilliant tale of a man who passes through a series of historical events, unwittingly, however, while trying to find his true love. What I enjoyed most about this film, though, was the way that Forrest was passing through different events without having a clue what was going on. It is the way Forrest is shown mixing in Black and White with historical figures that gets me laughing always. Forrest's great Grandpa was the man who started the KKK. He taught Elvis how to shake. He broke free of his leg braces to run very fast. Got spotted for college football. Joins the All American team, meets JFK and says "I gotta Pee!" Graduates. Joins the Army. Becomes a Vietnam war hero. Gets the Medal of Honor. Meets the President again. Causes the Watergate Scandal. Becomes a Ping Pong champion, playing in China, and winning! Does a talk show with John Lennon. Becomes a Shrimpin' Tycoon. Becomes a Millionaire. Gets his money invested in "some fruit company, or something" (Apple Mac). Gives a lot of money away. Becomes a lawnmower man. Runs across the country non stop. Invents the Smiley face, and its slogan "Have a Nice Day!". Invents the phrase "S**t happens". Finds his true love, Jenny. Becomes a father. Becomes a widow. Thats a hell of a lot of stuff ,thats why I like this film so much, it has so much to view, and it isn't just the same old boring stuff.
