Forrest Gump

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,... more...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. Academy Award Nominations: 13, including Best Picture, Best Actor--Tom Hanks, and Best Director. Academy Awards: 6, including Best Picture, Director, Actor and Adapted Screenplay.

I'm not bored watching this movie despite being repeatedly played. The film is performed by Tom Hanks, one of the best actors, I think. This film shows an idiot man but reach success in his life. His name is Forrest Gump. He is a simple, straightforward, and honest man. He also loves his mother very much. He always remembers his mother said that "life is like a box of chocolates. You'll never know what you're got to get."

In his life journey, Forrest gets many achievements. Forrest finds himself in the middle of important moments, such as met with some of U.S. presidents and achieves various awards; met with Elvis; until speak in front of the mass in Washington DC.

A sentence that I remember directly when people say Forrest Gump movie is
"Run Forrest….. Run……...."
This sentence is often said by his friend, Jenny, when he was in trouble.

The right thing that I like from this movie is there are many sentences expressing the philosophy of life. This movie is to give inspiration and motivation for everybody.
