Love, Life, Beauty, transcends intelligence.

Rating: 10/10 (17 September 2016)

First time watching this in many years, not ashamed to say I teared up again.
Tom Hanks, as he is in most films, was absolutely stunning and played the role to perfection.
Writing and screenplay were great as well, and some will argue that some of the plot points are not realistic. (news flash, you're watching a movie)
The soundtrack is sublime, in my opinion Silvestri's best work. Intertwining some pop music into the film is also quite fitting and sets up many scenes nicely.
I'm sure many of us can view the theme of this film differently however this is what I took away: Modern society overvalues intelligence and undervalues true kindness and innocence.
9.5/10
