Forrest Gump

Forrest Gump, an incredible movie which takes the audience through an epic tale about a man named Forrest who may not be the most intelligent one out there, but he so happens to be at a variety of historical events through time. From a young child Forrest knew he was different, and the majority of people around him noticed too. This was until he meets Jenny who turns into Forrest's one true love, but she barely recognizes it until she they are both much older. 

This film, shares the important life lesson to its viewers that no matter who you are, or what obstacles are placed in front of you, one can always get past them through courage and determination. Forrest exquisitely exemplifies this through his running, and his determination to never give up on his dreams and 'his Jenny'. 

Forrest Gump not only is present during many historical events like the Vietnam War, the assassination of the American president, but he is also around during the discovery of Elvis Presley  and John Lennon. Through this exemplification of the events the audience is given a brief tour of history through the oblivious Forrest. 

This movie was incredibly directed and filmed, providing the audience with the much needed perception of a less intelligent man who runs through life quite oblivious of his surroundings. 

Credits go to Tom Hanks for his amazing performance in this film. He really proved to the audience his outstanding skills, and his great portrayal of the character. 

The film music was also beyond incredible throughout the entire movie. It consisted of music from many time periods and was incorporated very nicely into the story line. This was done through not only film music, but also real music, such as when Forrest was sitting in a room with the soon to be famous Elvis Presley singing and dancing with him.

Overal this was an incredible movie which encompassed romance, comedy and drama into a 2.5 hours. The film made the audience fall in love with the idea of Forrest and Jenny, and eventually made them fall in love with little Forrest, who Forrest proudly is the father of.
