Review of Forrest Gump (1994) by J-Shap — 24 Aug 2011
A thought crossed my mind many years after viewing this picture: Forrest Gump cannot succeed as a sentimental message picture, because it's message is irresponsible. It is a message of ignorance through bliss, the idea that life would be inherently easier without our pesky brains and ideas.
Hanks plays his role as best he could, but the film mistakes a remarkably sad existence for a happy one.
