The Best Movie I Have Seen So Far

Rating: 10/10 (27 September 2005)

I still remember the first time I watched this movie and I have now seen it 10 times. I can even watch it tomorrow again. Why? Because it is one of the only movies I know that presents life in its most basic, positive form: about love, persistence, commitment and integrity.
Forrest is a simple but very honest and loving individual. The strengths of his character are so numerous that I can only hope that my son will end up with half of them. I like the way he continues to love Jenny despite her character flaws; how he stands by his friend Bubba and follows their joint dream even though Bubba cannot; and always sees the good in every event of his life.
This is one of those movies that indeed brings a lump to your throat and a tear to your eye (more than once for both) but it is also a movie that says: "Yes an honest, persistent yet humble life is great".
