Untraditional love story

Rating: 10/10 (29 April 2018)

Forrest Gump is about the life of Forrest Gump. It all begins with Forrest himself telling his story to a stranger on a bus station bench. Forrest tells this women all the major events of his life.Forrest is a pure and innocent soul and remains that way the entire film. Forrest Gump and Jenny are the two characters that stay consistent throughout the entire film. It is clear that Jenny is one of the only people that were unconditionally kind to Forrest from when he was little and throughout his entire life.Forrest's love for Jenny is unwavering through out Forrest's entire life.The film follows Forrest through some of the major events of his life such as college, being drafted into the Vietnam war, and many others. Throughout the film, Jenny stays on Forrest's mind, even when they've been apart for years. This is a theme that persists throughout the entire film. This movie is very realistic, almost as if Forrest is sitting right there, telling you the story himself.Overall, this movie is an all american classic. I would consider it an untraditional love story.
