Life is life a box of chocolates...

Rating: 9/10 (25 February 2011)

'Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get' The above statement set the scene for this film, in my opinion as, going into it i had no idea what to expect. Forrest Gump is essentially a true underdog story that flourishes at every turn, and while the concept behind it may be far-fetched, it still manages to be believable throughout.
The film starts out with a young boy who's mother, despite the setbacks her child has, aims to give her child a normal life. It's the extents she goes through to help him achieve this that truly set the scene for me, if anything it's a story about love, and courage.
Hanks truly delivered in his role as Forest Gump, and truly helped to deliver one of my all time favourite performances.
9/10
