Review of Forrest Gump (1994) by Barney O — 25 Feb 2017
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: The star of this classic show - Tom Hanks is brilliant here, every ounce of his character is so meaningful and beautifully played. Match this with an amazing cast, an amusing but thematically-realised plot with real sentimental value, as well as a great supporting cast, you've got yourself a film that stands the test of time for all the right reasons. Even now it doesn't feel dated.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: Some argue the themes are questionable, but I think they might be missing the point...
VERDICT: A well told tale of one man - thanks to Tom Hanks, 'Forrest Gump' is a real and emotional classic.
