Forrest Gump was released in the USA in 1994 and the director was Robert Zemeckis. The movie is about Forrest Gump's(Tom Hanks) life, a guy who grows up in Greenbow, Alabama, where his mother (Sally Field) runs a boarding house. Although Forrest is a little "slow" (his IQ is 75, 5 below the state's definition of "normal"), his mental impairment doesn't seem to bother him, his mother, or his best (and only) friend, Jenny Curran (played as an adult by Robin Wright). In fact, the naivete that comes through a limited understanding of the world around him gives Forrest a uniquely positive perspective of life.
During the next years, Forrest becomes a star football player, a war hero, a successful businessman, etc. Through it all, however, there is one thing that defines everything in his life: his love for Jenny. She is never far from his thoughts, no matter what he's doing or where he is.
The movie comes through a long and important period of USA, mixing true facts with Forrest's history. Through the miracle of visual effects, Forrest meets his fair share of famous people - George Wallace, Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon, and John Lennon.
The movie has lots of messages. The lead one is to not give up in life. It's such a great combination of drama, comedy and romance and it's well worth seeing.
