Forrest Gump

My most emotionally fulfilled film. With no other film have I experienced that the more times I saw it, the more times it brought tears to my eyes. Zemeckis has forever stepped out of the "master of family films" box with this masterpiece, and millions of people will forever love Hank's elusive character. In other words, whether you are a sentimental person with faith in love, a skeptical melancholic who no longer sees joy, or perhaps a life-disappointed unhappy person, everyone can find themselves in Forrest. Is it too perfect of a film? Eternal thanks for it. (25/12/2005)

I saw Forrest Gump for the first time today. (It's 2011). I had high expectations for it and I have to say it surprised me. Tom Hanks, of course, gives an unbeatable performance. The narrative itself is brilliant. Not to mention the music that so casually supports the fantastic script. I don't think I'm able to fault the film because, even if something is wrong, you feel like it's meant to be that way. Every word, every detail is a treasure. Forrest went through everything and understood everything in his own way, never forgetting what his mother said. And even though he only had four people in his life (later five), his life was interesting and full. Now here's where the film surprised me... in other moving films, there are one or two passages that will make you cry. Here, I didn't cry for the entire time, but from beginning to end, something tickled my heart and I cheered in my mind at every word Forrest said. Maybe that's why I liked the movie so much. The emotions were poured into the film evenly so the viewer had no chance to get bored. Gump touched me deeply. (13/02/2011)

What should I write in a review of a film that hasn’t already been said a thousand times? In short, if you walk down the street and ask a hundred random people about the best movie of their lives, the most common answer will be Forrest Gump. A masterpiece in the history of cinema, funny, depressing, impressive, inspiring, with impeccable direction and performances that leave you amazed. I have a bit more distinctive film exhibitions in my top list, but this beauty still has a privileged and unshakable position in my heart... (18/04/2011)

I am quite convinced that "life is like a box of chocolates and that you never know what you are gonna get", although not all chocolates are great and some are out of date or inedible. Anyway, I found this movie perfect, and it taught me a valuable lesson. Personally, the main male protagonist's statement that "Stupid is as stupid does" was enough for me to have a spiritual epiphany. For me, there is much more wisdom and insight in that simple sentence than in the whole philosophical musings on chocolates, and my peace of mind improved more thanks to this simple sentence than it did watching Demolition Man knitting. In other words, thanks to Forrest, I have gained more understanding and appreciation for those who have a bad opinion of me, and I have learned beautifully to rise above this. I would almost say it has made me a better person. Anyway, this movie is a real gem. It is sweet, funny, and intelligent with an incredible amount of perspective. It manages to present even serious things in a way that hits you but does not destroy you mentally but rather makes you stronger. You can watch this movie at any time, and it is always wonderful.

Yes, I am one of those people who love this movie. From the first shot to the last one. Unbelievable Tom Hanks, unbelievably original and imaginative story, and above all, the emotions that move me. I've had a similar experience with only a few movies. The first one that always comes to mind is "Big Fish". "Forrest Gump" is simply a legend, and when you say beautiful movie, and I mean beautiful in every way, it is this one. (09/02/2014)
