Genius

Rating: 10/10 (7 December 2015)

This film can be described in so many ways. One may call it, inspired, clever, brilliant, heartwarming, truly unique. I call it genius. In my years i've yet to come across a film to impact me on such an emotional and profound level. Forrest Gump as a character is so dynamic and relatable. His arc is so intriguing to watch, and the friendships he makes throughout his life are just as relatable as the character himself. This film nourishes love and acceptance in it's purest and most human forms. I felt joy and anger and sadness all at once. It truly is one of the greater cinematic works of our time. Though it's brand has become kitschy and commercial for major cities to serve up their "Bubba Gump Shrimp" specialties, the film has earned its renown. "Forrest Gump" is and will be in my top five favorite films for many years to come.
