One of the Best Movies Ever Created! Period!

Rating: 10/10 (14 October 2006)

When the movie opens, you think it is just a regular movie. When Tom Hanks transforms into Forrest when he talks, you know the movie will be one of the best movies you have ever seen. The way the writers and director shape the way Forrest is and his encounters with JFK, John Lennon, Elvis, and LBJ, President Nixon, Watergate, and many other things. He does not know the significance on how good or important it is because he does not know how to comprehend it. That is the genius of the movie. To have a character who does not know his own significance in the since the writers put it is simply brilliant. The relationship between him and Bubba and Lt. Dan stand out and show how true friendship is supposed to be. The three endure hard times at Vietnam as Bubba dies, and Lt. loses his legs and Forrest wounded from battle. The most interesting relationship on the movie has to be between Forrest and Jenny. Forrest and Jenny are child hood friends and the relationship grows when Forrest has deeper feelings for Jenny. The feelings are not returned from Jenny because she thought Forrest deserved better than her. The relationship is one of the main topics in the movie that will hit you. The movie is really on one man's relationships with so many people in over a twenty year span. It also deals with trying to find self and true love. This is Tom Hanks best role he ever played and one of the greatest performances ever in the motion picture history. The characters are memorable and you will never forget them.
