Definitely A Masterpiece -- Albeit I Have Mixed Feelings

Rating: Null/10 (20 May 2004)

Alright, so, the movie was quite a touching story of a mentally disabled man telling his life story at a bus stop to whoever will sit next to him and listen. I guess, in a way, it goes to show that life can be full or surprises, in many ways.

But, the thing I don't think I liked very much about the movie was the way it seemed like Forest had nothing but blind luck all of his life. I mean, it was to the point of being comical. I only "wish" I had a life filled with the blind luck like Forest seemed to suffer from, as I am sure many other people do.

But -- one thing remains true -- and it was said many times thru the movie and has become an icon for all to remember the movie by --- life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get.
