If you haven't seen this picture twice then you really haven't captured some of the best qualities of the screenplay.

Rating: 9/10 (28 August 2002)

If you have not had the opportunity to watch Forrest Gump at least twice I recommend that you take the time to do so. The first time you watch the film it is easy to like the film just based on Tom Hank's excellent performance and some of the amazing special effects. It wasn't until the second time I watched the picture that I started to notice the detail that the writer put into foreshadowing and symbolism. Without giving away any crucial elements in the picture I will simply write...pay close attention to his shoes in the picture and everything they ever say about feet. Pay even closer attention to Forrest's first conversation with Lt. Dan. It foreshadows their entire relationship. I gave the movie a 9 out of 10 for it's beautiful glimpse into one man's life and it's philosophical view on how everyone's "life is like a box of chocolates".
