I have a half brother who grew up in the Southern U.S. There are many morals defined in this film but foremost is integrity and a simple goodness. This film is a great modern fable, a fable in the dictionary is defined as a brief fictitious story that teaches a moral. However from a lot of the comments I have read about this film, I do not think many got the gist of the message from the author and the film maker. I believe everyone has a right to their opinion about films or other topics. This story is beautiful and will inspire everyone to go the distance and see the world like Forrest did and will never give up on their dreams. It's not just about someone stupid who happens to be in great places and historic events just because of being in the right place at the right time. I am not kidding, "Forrest Gump" is a remarkable movie and inspires everyone. This movie is incredible and should be seen by everyone. Robin Wright, what a beautiful and wonderful actress. She was obviously abused and I think she felt that Forrest was too good for her or that he couldn't really give her the love she wanted. And of course there's Jenny, a very tragic figure, she gets more mean as she grows up because she knows that Forrest loves her, in some ways you can't blame her really. Luteniet Dan was by far my favorite character, he has so much pride and wants to die in Vietnam due to his family history tradition of dying in every single American war. Luteniet Dan, a leader of Forrest's army in Vietnam who gets saved by Forrest during a huge attack and looses his legs as a result. He is just so wonderful and charming and won't stop talking about shrimp. Forrest meets some interesting people along the way too that are even better than these celebrities combined Bubba his Vietnam war friend who dreams of owning a shrimp boat one day and was born with big gums. Forrest meets many celebrities from his life that just happened to be there: Elvis Presley visited his house before hitting it big, President Kennedy honored him with a all American football award, President Johnson who honored him with a medal of honor for his actions in Vietnam, President Nixon(in which Forrest happens to discover a problem in the Water Gate Hotel because some people seem to be flashing lights around), and John Lennon through a talk show to talk about his medal of honor. He miraculously breaks the braces off his legs and run like the wind blows. Forrest and Jenny together walk every day from school and when these kids start throwing rocks at Forrest calling him stupid, Jenny just tells Forrest "Run, Forrest! Run!". Forrest just assumes that it's a father's love since he doesn't have a dad that could show him that it's wrong. But we find out that there is an extremely unfortunate side to her life, she has a father that's "always kissing and touching her and her sisters". Jenny, Forrest's best friend and crush, she looks so incredibly innocent and you love her because her and Forrest are like pea's and carrots. This scene is so heart breaking until you hear a little angel's voice "You can sit here if you want". When he gets on a school bus for his first day of school, NO ONE will let him sit next to them. As a boy he is put into braces for his legs since he has a crooked back and really doesn't have too many friends. But his mama(Sally Field) believes that her boy has the same opportunities as anyone else and lets Forrest know that there's nothing that could hold him back. We have Forrest Gump(Tom Hanks), not the sharpest tool in the box, his I.Q. The lines are so memorable, touching, and sometimes hilarious. The characters, I mean the actors turned into them and that's what got to me. The performances are just so unforgettable and never get out of your head. I really just love this movie and it has such a special place in my heart. "Forrest Gump" is one of the best movies of all time, guaranteed. "I've made about 20 films and 5 of them are pretty good"-Tom Hanks.
