An instant classic, hard to ignore...

Rating: 10/10 (24 March 2006)

This honestly a flawless movie. Its got everything, romance, comedy, drama war! It sort of reminds me a Big Fish, you know, one of those movies that follows some random persons amazing life. Tom Hanks is amazing. Forrest Gump has an I.Q. of 75, but that does'nt stop him from returning touchdowns on a college team, serving in Vietnam and winning the Medal of Honor, being one of the best ping pongers of all time, meeting numerous presidents, making a peace speech, which was not heard. And then going out to be a shrimp captain in honor of his friend in Vietnam. Eventually Lt. Dan comes along and joins him.
Then, he gets a letter saying that he should invest in the apple corporation which he mistakenly thinks is a food company. He sends his friends family millions of dollars, and restarts their shrimping business after a hurricane. There are many things that happen to the slow-witted southerner, and I'm not going to name all of them, I must warn you it is sad sometimes! Very few movies if any at all have a mix of romance, drama, war, and comedy. Entertainment at its finest!
