Review of Forrest Gump (1994) by Evan A — 27 Jun 2013
No one could ever look me straight in the eye and say that they've never heard the phrase RUN FOREST RUN! It's quite possibly one of the most famous lines in the history of movies. And it's not just that expression that I remember.
There are so many memorable lines from this classic film that we constantly use them in our everyday lives. I can't say this is my all-time favorite movie but it certainly is up there with the top ten.
Tom Hanks put on his best performance to date as the well-known Forest Gump. Reaching back to his past, Forest Gump tells his life story from the troubled school kid he was, to the multi-millionaire he became.
His story is told through a combination of naïve innocence, cultural strife, and social influence. The film did a great job mixing it's an emotionally in-depth story with thoroughly detailed characters.
Along with some witty humor, a romantic love story, and powerful messages of realization, Forest Gump ran across the country and became a spectacular achievement in filming. You will be blown away by this film!
