A movie which gave Tom Hanks the opportunity to showcase his best performance, rest you can guess on you own. Forrest Gump, an forgettable character who loves his moma. He is good natured and cares about other people, only that nobody talks to him because he's slower than the normal people. What makes you appreciate and bond with the character is that he has so much enthusiasm and good will. He does as told, runs and keeps running until he is told to stop. As the film begins, he is sitting on a bench probably waiting for the bus, telling strangers the story of his life, in a trance like he's talking to himself. The people keep boarding their buses but he continues his story with the box of chocolate. He says, "life is like a box of chocolates". The film is made in such a way that t has him involved in every major American event from the 50's to the 80's. He is lucky enough to meet all the famous personalities from Elvis Presley to Kennedy. He gets admitted to college because of his running speed. He goes on to become his college's star quarterback and later on, Ping-Pong champion. He even goes and fights in the Vietnam war and like every American's dream, becomes a zillionaire!

The movie also weaves the story of his love with his childhood pal Jenny. She could have been a normal kid only if wasn't for her abusive father. She becomes a hippie but continues to write to him. He comes back and meets her, takes care of her. They share some of the sweetest moments together. Whether it's Jenny, his moma or his war buddy Bubba, he loves all of them purely with his heart. A movie worth shedding your tears for.
