sickly Sweet and sad(but i love it)

Rating: 8/10 (28 March 2017)

The first time I watched Forrest gump, I thought to myself "golly what a bad film" then i watched it a second time, just yesterday. and thought "hrmm, this film is better than I remembered"
the film centres around the titular Forrest gump, a possible mentally disabled man who touches the hearts of many, and influences many historical events in his life, from Vietnam to football.
my main grievance of this film is the way that everything in Forrest's world exists to make you feel sad. everything that happens to him is supposed to make you cry or feel bad for him. whenever something nice happens to him, there's a big ol' SCREW YOU FORREST right behind it. sure, it is supposed to be a sad tale, but it gets to a point where you just want to give the poor guy a break for once. HOWEVER, this is also the best part about the film, Forrest's unawareness of his hardships and how friendly he is really makes you root for him, its a real success story. I felt like some of the "cameos" Forrest made in historical events were a bit silly. but that's just me i suppose.
I liked it. great film with a few little hiccups.
8/10 for sure at least.
