Forrest Gump (1994)

Forrest Gump (1994)

So stupidity meets luck, innocence meets luck, goodwill meets luck.
I find forrest gump as a slight overdose of happy go lucky syndrome.
But right from the start till the very end, the movie never bores you for a moment,
be in forrest's world and you'll enjoy the ride.
There must be a reason the movie is in every "TOP" list....i havnt figured it out except for the innocent treatment of gump's character.
There are some really nice twists n turns in the movie which could make you smile or go into splits.

ACTING:
What to say about tom hanks....brilliant...brilliant...brilliant
Watch it n u knw where did SRK gt MNIK...LOL
the body posture, speech pattern(which tom hanks admitted to copy from d kiddo who played junior gump)
Tom hanks just creates ripples on screen....u watch him in Cast away. and den in Forrest gump and you know he lived two DIFFERENT people.
The leading lady's character has been etched out really nyc and she lives up to it too.
Bubba is typical nigga buddy u gt to see in so many american movies.

Editing:
No real idea but as the movie has really nyc transitions from one sub plot to another, i must say good work.

Direction:
Adapted from a novel it wasnt an easy task to get it to this level on screen....but the director has pulled off well.
The integration of CGI effects and the narrative are two things which he should be applauded for.

Basically Forrest Gump is happy cinema....spend any 2 hrs of your life smiling.

I give the happy go luck gump a 7/10
