A movie about what life is REALLY about!

Rating: Null/10 (20 September 1999)

Forrest Gump holds a special place in my heart. My son is intellectually disabled and I hope his life will be a full as Forrest's (without going to war though....pass on that one!).
The characters are all spot on. What young man hasn't been secretly in love with a "Jenny" who spurned his love when it wasn't convenient but needed it when the frivolous part of her life was over. The pop singer Prince once had a line in a song "Life is just a party and parties weren't meant to last!".
From the passing of Forrest's mother to Bubba to Jenny Forrest outlived them all and was somehow a better person, a more complete human being for the experience.
10/10 for a movie with heart.
PS The gunfire and napalm scenes in the jungle were brilliant!
