Forrest Gump (1994)
Directed by Robert Zemeckis
Screenplay by Eric Roth
A comedy drama based on the novel of the same name by Winston Groom, tells the story of Forrest Gump—a man who may not be as intelligent as most, but is full of optimism—as he takes on challenges in life while inspiring people.
Forrest Gump, like any other individual, had many life hindrances. But unlike most people, he had a certain condition making him seemingly different. Yet, despite his everyday struggles to cope with people and normal life, he never once thought of giving up. Instead, he used his supposed disadvantage as an asset to believe in himself more. And that his incredible accomplishments never got into his head. He remained humble, appreciating the little things that people tend to neglect. And that made him a better human than most.
Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.
I love how this film is filled with life lessons. It's like all the advice we need to hear about life in a nut shell. Aside from its fruitful narrative, Tom Hanks shows one of his most notable performances in the big screen.
It's what I love most about films--they will teach you, and touch you in any way; and you carry it with you even after the credits roll, forever.
