Forest Gump Review
Forest Gump is always running away from danger, bullies, football, and sometimes just because. Running helps face many ups and downs in his life. As the protagonist trying to find love he can't get it because the love of his life can't see past his simple mind until it's too late. While Forest is achieving great success in his life by becoming a football star, a army hero, a ping pong champion, a shrimp boat captain, and a nationally known runner, he still wants Jenny. The film was produced in 1994 by Paramount Studios and Steve Tisch, Steve Starkey, Wendy Finerman. Forest who is born simple in Alabama during the period of segregation in our country and he has many obstacles as a child because people refer him as stupid, but his mother tells him he is not and to not to listen to them. He also has to have "magic legs" to help walk better, and he learns at an early age that he can run anywhere faster than he can walk. The movie moves thru history as Forest ages, and takes him to Vietnam and many other great adventures. He finds a lifelong friend along the way in his army Lieutenant, and Forest is always thinking about Jenny his childhood friend, wishing to be with her.
The effects set the mood of each scenes and capture the times especially during the war scenes with the music and the sounds of violence. The songs played in each time sequence of the movie help you establish what period Forest is in.
The theme is you never know what you are going to get in life and you will never be prepared so you need to make the best of everything. Hope that along the way that best always happens and try not to get off track. In my opinion this movie is one of the best movies that I have seen. It's got a good story, good music, and you the message is one that everyone should try for. I rate this movie a 10 out of a 10.
