All of the hype is real

Rating: 10/10 (27 August 2018)

Look this movie isn't rated as one of the greatest of all time by accident. Unlike some of its all-time great companions, however, I believe this one stands the test of time the best. The simplicity and purity of a character like Forrest Gump allow so many of the strong supporting characters around him to really shine and develop beautifully throughout the film's runtime. You could write out all of the life lessons learned from this film and have enough for every week of the year. Whether you choose to dive in deep or just watch it for fun with some friends, this movie will leave your heart warm and your mind optimistic towards how we can treat each other positively, and without judgment.
