running through childhood with his best and only friend Jenny. His

friends called Dan and Bubba, he wins medals, creates a famous shrimp
fishing fleet, inspires people to jog, starts a ping-pong craze, create
the smiley, write bumper stickers and songs, donating to people and
meeting 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.
Forrest Gump Reviews
Winston Groom's
Forrest Gump was a novel that was complicated, but (Oscar winning)
director Robert Zemeckis brings events together with visual effects that
boggle even George Lucas.
And leading the film in this odyssey of American life is Tom Hanks playing Gump (he won his second Oscar for his portrayal) in a film that shows one man who goes through many events in history to find the one he loves. Well done, well acted, and well directed to pythagorean procision. A++
