Life is like a box of chocolates...you never know what you're gonna get.

Rating: 9/10 (15 September 2006)

''Forrest Gump'' is a very beautiful movie that totally deserves to be in the top 250 from the IMDb, receiving nothing less then six Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor. The story is a lesson of life, showing the simple and mentally challenged Forrest in an epic journey through life, meeting historical figures like Elvis,John F. Kennedy,Richard Nixon, Jonh Lennon, among many others and experiencing first-hand historic events, while largely unaware of their significance, due to his low IQ of 75.
Even misunderstood by many people and considered to be ''stupid'' by them, Forrest has more success in his life then many of his ''normal'' friends, receiving many honor medals, becoming rich and inspiring many people. The movie is a lesson of life and shows how people who are discriminated can have more success then many of the ordinary ones.
And Lt. Dan Taylor, shows how people's minds can change through the years, when he first wants to die in the camp with his soldiers, and years later, thanks Forrest, that saved his life from the death.
I think everybody should watch this awesome movie at least once in a lifetime.
