There are few perfect films & this is one of them

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2017)

Many movies try and fail at being one genre. Forrest Gump succeeds in multiple genres and it shows from the very beginning of the movie. The fact that i watched this movie as a kid and then as an adult and enjoyed it even more is a testament to phenomenal writing. The subtle nuances of Forrest Gump's life totally flew over my head as a child. Seeing this movie as an adult is almost like seeing it for the first time again. I understood and felt for Forrest's mother within the first 2 minutes & learned to love Lt. Dan on New Years. I won't spoil much but in that moment on New Years eve, i believe we got our first glance into how aware Forrest actually is & it's heartbreaking to see him go through that scene but heartwarming to see Lt. Dan stand up for his friend. This movie deserves a 200 page essay on it's greatness so any review will never do it justice. If you have not watched it yet...strap in for a roller-coaster of emotions and laughs.
