Forrest Gump





This is one of my personal favorites. Forrest Gump is an inspirational story about a man named Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks). He plays the character of a guy with lower brain activity but a heart of gold. He accepts what life offers ever questioning or reasoning it. Living his life as his 'mama' (Sally Field) taught him, Forrest always misses his childhood pal Jenny (Robin Wright Penn) who becomes a hippie over the years. With low IQ levels he still achieves great things in life. Finally the destiny brings her back to him and he stands by her side as she leaves this world. But, life still carries on with him taking care of his son. The last sequence where he talks to Jenny in front of her grave is touching. Tom Hank's performance is par excellence and director Robert Zemeckis has done an amazing job. No doubt, this one won six Oscars. I will simply call this film-Beautiful.
