Amazing movie

Rating: 10/10 (18 August 2014)

I love this movie so much. It works as a comedy, and it teaches you really important life lessons. I admit, when I first saw this movie, I wasn't used to Tom Hanks and his southern accent. But this simpleton shows that you can do anything you want in life if you set your mind to it. I laughed at the times when Forrest says stuff that "Mama" used to say. And I really liked all the historical references like Vietnam, Watergate Scandal, and possibly the invention of the smiley face. Forrest shows us that anyone can achieve big things in life, even if you aren't capable. He gets the Medal of Honor, saving lives, and he didn't need to beef up on strength or anything. He didn't even have to pick up a ping pong paddle at an early age to be a master at ping pong. And he didn't even need to be a track star to run a cross country journey for a really long time. This movie really taught me to never give up.
