The movie has it all,drama,comedy and it challenges societal norms as well. Then there are the almost endless quotes from the movie that have slipped into everyday speech. They are too numerous to say at this point.One of the toppers for me in the movie is when Forrest is in a quandary about life and wondering as Lt.Dan said we all have a destiny and his Mom says it is where we are all just floating around like a feather in the wind. Forrest's character terms it very well with this quote,"I think it is a little bit of both." From my experiences in life it does appear to be that way. So if you have not seen the movie,see it soon you are in for a real treat. If you did not like it, give it a try again and hopefully you will see it for the great story it is!Still like it - Spokes
Even after they play it none stop on TV and people using the same lines from this movie, you have to love it. Its about a simple person just living his life about as simple as he can.
It is a long movie, but you don't really realize it because the story flows so well. It's a must see movie.Gump is Grand - TheShamus
The film "Forrest Gump" was loved by the masses. It was also loved by most critics and the Academy (six awards). Perhaps the only disappointment I have with the movie is that it is not based on a real story. As a piece of fiction, Gump is inspirational ... and it makes most people feel pretty good.
"Forrest Gump" is a movie about overcoming adversity -- and there are lots of lessons. From the acting to the cinematography, to the screenplay ... Gump is a class act.
The special effects are so good, they do not even look like special effects. I feel the movie really does have a heart --- and a lot of people feel inspired when they leave the theatre. The movie will go by so quickly as you enjoy it.
There is just the right amount of comedy thrown in. The audience laughs for the right reasons.
There are other reviewers who do not like the movie, but this is a "sure winner" with most of the viewers you would poll.
As close as you can get to "Blue Chip" movie watching.
