Forrest Gump (2001, DVD)

This really belongs up there with the greatest movies of all time. It is hard to imagine who hasn't at least heard of this movie, but if you are about to see it for the first time, you have a treat ahead of you.

One of the best movies ever made! I love tom hanks, and the story line is very well thought up. Forrest Gump has great music also.

This is my favoite movie. Until now I only had the movie on VHS. Now with the DVD it is much clearer.

I have loved this movie from the first time I viewed it at the theater. Our family refers to favorite scenes and we repeat some of the lines such as "Life is like a box of choclates you never know what your going to get..." quite often. So a few months before Christmas my sister and I were talking,about some of what we think are really great parts of the movie "Forrest Gump". My sister said " I'm going to ask my husband to find a copy of this movie, so we can watch it again". I decided then that "Forrest Gump" would be one of her Christmas gifts. I knew our whole family would enjoy watching it again and again. She was very happy with her gift. A few days after Christmas one evening we decided to watch the movie. As usual we laughed and we cried at the different scenes. The biggest surprize (and extra gift) came when in the middle of the movie my 12 year old grandaughter said,"Why is everyone so mean to him when he is so sweet" we looked and she had tears in her eyes. That is when we realized that she had never watched, "Forrest Gump", before. I told her there would always be people in the world who couldn't see beyond a person's disablity or a person's being different from others. Which is why we should never "follow the crowd" or judge too quickly. We should get to know the individual because like those "choclates" you never know what your going to get and if we fail to do that we may miss something or someone really great. And even if you don't like someone after you get to know them there is still no reason to treat them so badly because that just makes you seem ugly. The best thing to do is just stay away from people you don't like or can't get along with because life is hard enough on us all without people causing each other more grief. There are lesson's of life that can be learned from Forrest both the way he was treated by some people and the way that he dealt with it. Also in the way he dealt with life in general. Yes, I know that Forrest is a fictional person but that statment is still true. I don't think any other actor could have brought Forrest to life as well as Tom Hanks. We will always love Forrest and we will watch this movie over and over. Everyone with children old enough should buy and watch this movie with them. Then I don't think there would be so many bullies around and it may help them learn to respect people even when they are different or disabled.

Although a simple minded man. He has character, he is principled and is led and driven by those principles. He is a good person. I love this movie because all to often we think, the more intelligent a person is, the better or more important they are. But this movie shows that you don't need that in order to be important and good.

Bravo!

The story of Forrest Gump is truly one-of-a-kind. You have never seen a movie like it. And perhaps never will again. Forrest takes you on a little journey telling various incredible stories about his life experiences. And what a life he has had. A few of his stories amount to nothing more than dumb luck. Some stories teach you a thing or two about life and love through the eyes of Forrest Gump. His unconditional & undying love for Jenny is really cool. He has traveled the country far and wide. He even has stories about being in the military. The imagination of Forrest Gump has a very wide range. The life experiences are unparalelled. This movie is a MUST SEE before you die. Life just wouldn't be complete without having seen Forrest Gump. You will laugh. And you will cry. Mostly laugh though. But I can assure all 17 people that haven't seen this movie are really missing something. It is one for the DVD collection for all times! Enjoy!

While the transaction went smoothly, shipment was slow and the DVD case was broken inside. This was not mentioned in the posting.
