Forrest Gump PG 13
Robert Zemekis takes his creative
science effects idea, and those of his team, and decides to put Tom Hanks in
actual film stock through US history, in this oddbal take on America as seen
thought the eyes of a simple man. Tom Hanks, Gary Senise, Haley Joel Osmet and
an all star cast trip through history in this fable of love, heart, and
redemption, even if at times the messages are a bit like getting hit over the
head with a brick. Even so, "Life is like a box of chocolates." The
story has been spoofed since many times. The best picture of 1994. Since it is
a fable, one can forgive the seight against "a mysterious disease",
(you're not even supposed to get it's AIDS because they never tell you), or the
Vietnam trauma, which makes it dated, but Tom Hanks makes up for it playing the
simple Forrest Gump so well. Review by Adam Browne
