well put together movie everyone should see

Rating: 9/10 (23 October 2009)

tom hanks was great in this movie. he really played the character well, showing his ups and downs, emotions, anger, joy and good character throughout the movie. it should be seen by everybody young and old. what is great about this movie is how it captures the emotions and events of this time period. young people who did not grow up at this time (and we are getting older than we think) should see all the happenings of this time. I know a lot of us have heard our parents talk about how things were, but the movie and every character really fit into their role and really captured the life of that time. forrest gump as we all know was "special" and had to face many hardships. because of that it would have been a little harder for him to succeed than the other characters in the movie. however we see that with his honesty, kind and good hearted character that he is able to surpass everyone in the movie and become a well respected, loving father that we all could call a role model.
