Welcome back readers.
There are so many classics and in today's world we sometimes forget to give them recognition for the large parts they played in the cinematic world. One of the best classics in Hollywood is Forrest Gump. The story of a stupid but good-hearted young man just seemed to win the viewers hearts. It was also the winner of the prestigious Academy Award for the Best Picture. It was an amazing combination of the major historical events and the life of a young man who has great survival skills in every possible situation.
The movie starts out with a young Forrest who had braces on his legs due to some condition. His braces do come off due to some miracle, and I may as well exclaim that there were yet many miracles to come in the young Forrest Gump's life. In the small town in Georgia, the two most important people in his life were his mother and his childhood sweetheart Jenny. After Forrest grows up, he lands himself a position in the army and is in the team that goes to Vietnam during the war season. His friend Bubba dies there and his Lieutenant, Lt. Dan becomes crippled. Due to his bravery there, Gump becomes partially famous. His fame rises when he becomes a ping-pong champion and goes to China for the final match. He remains in an on-off friendship with Jenny whom he really loves. Jenny fails to understand him and goes on living her undisciplined life. Gump remains in contact with a crippled Lt. Dan. Forrest keeps his best friends promise and also opens a shrimp business as it was his friend's dying wish. It is no coincidence when Forrest Gump is seen to be part of many historical events and inventions such as the invention of the smiley face and famous "Shit happens" phrase.
The most notable scene of the movie is the one where Forrest is sitting on a bench and tells his life's story to strangers. If any of you haven't watched this movie, I recommend it greatly because in our lifetime, we must at least watch the classics.
Goodbye.
