Forrest Gump (1994)

7.8 Listal rating
8.6 IMDB rating

Description

The title character leads viewers through an accidental travelogue of American social history from the early 1960s through the present in this revisionist fable. Vietnam, desegregation, Watergate and more are presented from the perspective of Hanks' lovably slow-witted character as he finds himself embroiled in situations he can't quite comprehend.

Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.

Run Forrest, Run!

After watching this film, I was so inspired, that I decided, on a whim, to go running all the way across the country. However, by the time I reached the end of my block, I was so devastatingly winded, & I was weezing so desperately for air, that I thought for sure, my left lung must've collapsed in on itself.
So, instead, I just reminded myself that "stupid is as stupid does", & went back into my house & ate an entire "box of chawk-letts".
Which, of course, is what life is kinda like.

Life truly is like a box of chocolates.

Now you wouldn't believe me if I told you, but I could run like the wind blows. From that day on, if I was ever going somewhere, I was running! Directed by: Robert Zemeckis Starring: Tom Hanks, Robin Wright-Penn, Gary Sinise, Mykelti Williamson, Sally Field Genre: Comedy/Drama/Romance Running time: 142 minutes My review: Forrest Gump, while not intelligent, has accidentally been present at many historic moments, but his true love, Jenny, eludes him. Forrest Gump is without a doubt the most inspiring film that I have ever seen. It almost broke my heart because of what happens within it. It is a film that I think everybody loves in either the funny way, dramatic way or romantic way but I love it all three ways. I find it to be a story of hope, courage and pure adve...Read more

A trip down memory lane...

''My momma always said, "Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." '' Forrest Gump, while not intelligent, has accidentally been present at many historic moments, but his true love, Jenny, eludes him. Tom Hanks: Forrest Gump What best sums up good old Forrest Gump? Is he a simpleton? An idealist? A moral paragon of innocence? In this movie it's more appropriate to describe him as what he isn't. Forrest lives in a world that derides him as stupid but, as Mrs Gump states, "stupid is as stupid does", and in this, it's the other characters who seem endowed with stupidity. Jenny stumbles from one bad trip to another, Lieutenant Dan loses his legs, then his mind at war, while everybody else seems to engage in acts of relentless and tragic idiocy. All th...Read more

Every once in a while a film comes around that is so incredibly amazing that it leaves everyone stunned into silence. Forrest Gump is amazing but nobody can pin point exactly why, a silent understanding lies between one another that this movie is just great, there in lies why this movies will forever be a firm favourite. Like an age old tradition or the unwritten etiquette of the underground, Forrest Gump bemuses me. Forrest Gump is completely unprecedented, he isn't an all out hero, he doesn't particularly earn his rags to riches position, he isn't cool, he isn't witty or funny and he isn't the typical 'disabled' figure that insights a wealth of pity. Gump instinctively does the right thing without any cogitation, he has no motives, no aims, no sense of money or concept of ownership,...Read more

I've seen the last part but i'll have to see all of it to rate it. But from what i've seen for the first time Tom Hanks has actually done good in a movie!

Testament to how great this film is, I can remember the plot almost scene for scene, despite not watching the film in almost 5 years. It was like no other film I had ever watched. Tom Hanks is now one of my favourite actors, but I didn't really rate him when I first got around to watching this film. Perhaps I was too young to fully comprehend and appreciate the plot when I saw it for the first time, but since then I've come to see it as an extremely emotional and involving film. The plot sees Forrest elaborate and recapitulate his life experiences to passers by who sit with him on a park bench as he waits for a bus. It eventually evolves to follow him through the remainder of the day and over the next few years of his life. It is an extraordinary performance from Tom Hanks in this film,...Read more
