Forrest Gump is an American magical realism comedy-drama film directed by Robert Zemeckis and written by Eric Roth. It is based on the 1986 novel of the same name by Winston Groom, and stars Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Gary Sinise, Mykelti Williamson, and Sally Field. The film was released in 1994.
The presidencies of Kennedy and Johnson, the events of Vietnam, Watergate, and other historical events unfold through the perspective of an Alabama man with an IQ of 75, whose only desire is to be reunited with his childhood sweetheart.
In addition, the Film Academy nominated Forrest Gump for thirteen Oscars, eventually awarding it six.
While watching this movie (as young girl) I drank homemade lemonade, which my mom used to make -since we had a lemon tree in our yard- so, when I put the movie to watch it again, recently before post it on our blog, what I felt was nostalgia for that icy homemade lemonade. So, somewhat emotionally affected by this memory, I suggest you watch or re-watch Forrest Gump with a glass of cold, fresh lemonade on your side and you'll remember me ;) ;)
Enjoy...!!!

Movie PlotForrest Gump is a simple man with a low I.Q. but good intentions. He is running through childhood with his best and only friend Jenny. His 'mama' teaches him the ways of life and leaves him to choose his destiny. Forrest joins the army for service in Vietnam, finding new friends called Dan and Bubba, he wins medals, creates a famous shrimp fishing fleet, inspires people to jog, starts a ping-pong craze, creates the smiley, writes bumper stickers and songs, donates to people and meets the president several times. However, this is all irrelevant to Forrest who can only think of his childhood sweetheart Jenny Curran, who has messed up her life. Although in the end, all he wants to prove is that anyone can love anyone. |

Our Review
From Winston Groome's book, Forrest Gump is transferred to the cinema in 1994. Speaking of a good, well-intentioned naive, and obedient, to one whose whole life revolves around a humble dream and a box of chocolates, character, the protagonist Tom Hans. In the film we see the hero meeting personalities such as Kennedy, Nixon or John Lennon. The essence of the film, symbolizes a person with reduced intelligence who does not ask, is not searched and above all does not react.In addition, the Film Academy nominated Forrest Gump for thirteen Oscars, eventually awarding it six.
