Film #20: FORREST GUMP (1994)

Forrest Gump is a really good film, Tom Hanks was amazing, the film was good despite it being completely unbelievable. It's a film about love, pure and simple. A love that is formed through a friendships and an acceptance of every person, no matter of their race, age, disability, background or anything.
The film is based around a man called Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) and tells of his extraordinary life journey. Gump was born with a wonky back and so was forced to wear leg braces in order to straighten it, he also had a low IQ and so was picked on at school. Except one girl allowed him friendship, her name was Jenny (Robin Wright), she befriended and looked after him. Gump's story continues through war, protests, shrimp catching, home owning, cutting grass and running for 3 years straight. But life keeps bringing him back to his Jenny.
This is a beautiful story that had me in tears by the end. And with a giant plot twist that I did not see coming, it was definitely a good watch.
