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 don't know how many times I watched this film; I just know I love this movie very well.
This film tells us a story of an American person whose name is Forrest Gump. But we can't believe all the things happened on a real person, this is a story of many American peoples who lived after World War II. From this film, I obtain much information about American history and American culture in this epoch, such as Vietnam War, the ping-pong diplomacy and Watergate.
Forrest Gump is a person whose IQ is only 75, but he had great success by his honest and persistence. But Jenny squandered her youth and died. What is life? Maybe Gump's mother told us clearly. Life is like a box of chocolates...you never know what you're gonna get.
In this film, the acting skill of Tom Hanks is great, I love it.
