I am not kidding, "Forrest Gump" is a remarkable movie and inspires everyone. ![]() This movie is incredible and should be seen by everyone. Robin Wright, what a beautiful and wonderful actress. She was obviously abused and I think she felt that Forrest was too good for her or that he couldn't really give her the love she wanted. And of course there's Jenny, a very tragic figure, she gets more mean as she grows up because she knows that Forrest loves her, in some ways you can't blame her really. Luteniet Dan was by far my favorite character, he has so much pride and wants to die in Vietnam due to his family history tradition of dying in every single American war. Luteniet Dan, a leader of Forrest's army in Vietnam who gets saved by Forrest during a huge attack and looses his legs as a result. He is just so wonderful and charming and won't stop talking about shrimp. Forrest meets some interesting people along the way too that are even better than these celebrities combined Bubba his Vietnam war friend who dreams of owning a shrimp boat one day and was born with big gums. Forrest meets many celebrities from his life that just happened to be there: Elvis Presley visited his house before hitting it big, President Kennedy honored him with a all American football award, President Johnson who honored him with a medal of honor for his actions in Vietnam, President Nixon(in which Forrest happens to discover a problem in the Water Gate Hotel because some people seem to be flashing lights around), and John Lennon through a talk show to talk about his medal of honor. He miraculously breaks the braces off his legs and run like the wind blows. Forrest and Jenny together walk every day from school and when these kids start throwing rocks at Forrest calling him stupid, Jenny just tells Forrest "Run, Forrest! Run!". Forrest just assumes that it's a father's love since he doesn't have a dad that could show him that it's wrong. But we find out that there is an extremely unfortunate side to her life, she has a father that's "always kissing and touching her and her sisters". Jenny, Forrest's best friend and crush, she looks so incredibly innocent and you love her because her and Forrest are like pea's and carrots. This scene is so heart breaking until you hear a little angel's voice "You can sit here if you want". When he gets on a school bus for his first day of school, NO ONE will let him sit next to them. As a boy he is put into braces for his legs since he has a crooked back and really doesn't have too many friends. But his mama(Sally Field) believes that her boy has the same opportunities as anyone else and lets Forrest know that there's nothing that could hold him back. We have Forrest Gump(Tom Hanks), not the sharpest tool in the box, his I.Q. The lines are so memorable, touching, and sometimes hilarious. The characters, I mean the actors turned into them and that's what got to me. ![]() The performances are just so unforgettable and never get out of your head. I really just love this movie and it has such a special place in my heart. "Forrest Gump" is one of the best movies of all time, guaranteed. It's just disappointing when such an average film continues a series of such good ones."I've made about 20 films and 5 of them are pretty good"-Tom Hanks. At various points in the evening, the pace was surprisingly ponderous. ![]() I guess the franchise is so important now that it must be handled by two directors, neither of whom has Adamson's knack for timing. Andrew Adamson directed the previous two Shreks and has one of the writing credits here, but he did not direct it. The result comes across as a 3rd or 4th draft. And the dialog with some exceptions, is full of the clichés they so happily lampooned in earlier Shreks. Let's put in some stuff for Fiona and Lillian here." The result is that there's a script, but no real story. You can almost see the writers thinking, "Okay, now we've got a bunch of stuff for Shrek, Donkey, and Puss to do. The story is loaded down with so many different elements that it is impossible to develop any of them. ![]() And that's the problem with this entire movie. I figure he was either exhausted, or under contract, as opposed to being inspired. "In which we live in"? Was he kidding? A great talent, but that is some lazy songwriting. In the song he actually wrote this line: "But if in this ever changing world in which we live in". The song is used briefly in Dreamworks' latest outing for everyone's favorite Scots ogre. Take for example the song, "Live and Let Die", a song he wrote in the '70s for a Bond movie of the same name.
