A Concept Excellently Pulled Off

Rating: 8/10 (14 March 2018)

I am not gonna bore you with all the lessons Forrest Gump has to teach you, let's just say you will learn after you watch, and it is an experience you must gain by yourself.
The rewatchability is high. I have watched it several times now and still not getting bored. Each view presents different perspective of the movie.
Tom Hanks' acting is brilliant, it is not easy to act as a mentally-challenged person yet he did it fantastically.
A big part of the movie tries present the cultural history of the US, and this might be hard to pull off yet Robert Zemeckis is able to.
But for me, there is an underlying dark undertone somewhere in the relationship between Forrest and the other characters, but Zemeckis' portrayal of Forrest's personality brilliantly covers it up.
A movie I would recommend to everyone old enough to watch.
