Download Free Forrest Gump

Starring: Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Gary Sinise, Sally Field This was
flat out one of the best movies of 1994. It won best picture for a
reason, along with a few other Academy Awards. I think one of the tag
lines for the movie was, "The world will never be the same once you've
seen it through the eyes of Forrest Gump." How true. The movie is
basically one simple man's journey through life. And what a journey.

The movie opens with Forrest (Hanks) sitting at a bus stop, waiting to
go see Jenny (Wright) after being apart from her for years. Who is
Jenny, you ask? We'll get to that in a minute. Forrest strikes up a
conversation or two with the people that come and wait for the bus with
him. Or, more accurately, he keeps talking regardless of whether
anybody is listening or not. The movie plays out as a flashback, with
Forrest taking us through all the major events of his life and
narrating them.

The flashback starts when Forrest is a little boy, about six years old
or so, just at about the age where he should be starting school. We get
to take a look at Forrest's childhood as he gets leg braces to
straighten out his back, as his momma (Field) fights (and does a few
other things) to get him into public school, and as he meets for the
first time the love of his life. Jenny. He meets her on the way to
school, sitting next to her on the bus, and they strike up a friendship
immediately.

Eventually we progress to the point where Forrest and Jenny are in high
school, and we travel along with Forrest as he makes it onto the
football team and gets to go to college. Forrest and Jenny never date,
but he's always there to protect her. Anytime he thinks she's in
trouble, he rushes to the rescue, ready to beat the ever-loving snot
out of anyone who even looks at his Jenny wrong. I think one of my
favorite scenes in the movie is when someone is dumb enough to slap
Jenny. The film goes slow motion, Forrest's eyes go wide, and he starts
charging at this guy like a runaway locomotive, and has the striking
force of one too. Watching him beat the crap out of that guy is
hilarious.

As Forrest grows up and goes through school, college, the army, a
Vietnam tour, becomes a ping pong celebrity, a shrimp boat captain, and
eventually one of the richest men out there, he also gets to take a few
stops in history as the filmmaker gives us his own spin of how he
thinks history would have happened if Forrest Gump were there. He gets
to meet the President three times, he's the man who exposes the
Watergate scandal, he's at the school doors when Governor George
Wallace tries to get some Negroes into a white school, and so on and so
forth. It's really funny the way they manipulate historical footage to
insert Forrest into the events of the past.

This is truly a great movie. You'd be a fool to miss it.

Bottom Line: 4 out of 4 (own this movie).

One of best movies, ofcurse someone can disagree. this movie is funny,touchy and time to time action. Tom Hanks in main role was good choice..

Great movie Soo sad at the end.

Great movie...very adventorous....

A movie to watch one and all over again. No detail to leave behind. A story of love, live, history icons all happening around his life. This movie is a classic since it has been released. It's a must on the movies you have to see, no matter what!!!.

just Great..

Hilarious movie with a great plot and good morals to go along with it. highly recommended if your looking for a good comedy and wanting something to show that you have good moral values as well..

Being raised in the south I can relate to the customs in this movie. tom hanks does a fantastic job on this one..

moving!.

this movie is a quirky view into the haooenings in the 60's up to the 90's. It is quite long, but definitely doesnt feel that way. Its great fun.

awesome..

Well, if you are in the mood for a hollow "feel good movie" this will
fit the bill. But if you are looking for substance, or a film that
makes you think, this film will leave you knowing you can never get the
time back you just spent watching this movie. The soundtrack probably
causes movie-goers to connect to the film more than the flimsy plot.

At the time this film was released, Hanks was perhaps the most sought
after leading man. In some ways, it is as though the studios were on a
quest to turn him into his generation's Jimmy Stewart. Hanks is a solid
actor, and has acted in many excellent roles, but this is not one of
them. But this film certainly helped launch the "Bubba Gump Shrimp
Company Restaurant" found at tourist traps all across the United
States. In many ways, that is this film's legacy - made for theater
tourist looking for a vacation for the mind..
