Forrest Gump Ratings & Reviews
- 匚卂尺ㄥFebruary 2, 2025🏃Movies that make you laugh, movies that make you ponder,movies that may excite you, but only a few can make you cry. Forrest Gump does it all Boy, tears rolled down for the first time after watching a movie of course there are other movies that followed but surely none of those were even close to this phenomenal motion picture Not that I am Hercules or Thor, but it takes immense poignance to make me cry Talking about Robert Zemeckis, the man always had a peculiarity in his direction but this is the one which stands tall among all. This story wouldn't have been the same without him. He is the one who brought the feel to this movie. But at the risk of sounding like a hyperbolic and dangerously obsessed fanboy, I daresay the acting masterclass Tom Hanks puts forth here is the finest display of acting I have ever witnessed. No other actor before or since has made such a convincing transformation into the heart, body and soul of another person as Hanks does here. Every delayed or confused mannerism is spot-on, his Southern accent is flawless and his every emotion letterperfect. In the whole film, particularly the grave scene towards the end, you look into his eyes and you don't see Tom Hanks, you see Forrest Gump Utter perfection Tom Hanks does not have Tom Cruise's face or Brad Pitt's body & so he got to the best with what God has given him SHEER ACTING PROWESS In early 90's he was still to establish himself among great names & thats how he did it? Although he had already won an Oscar for philadelphia but this movie was his official entry to the hearts of millions of people across the globe. Its hard to imagine any other actor fit in this role. His movies have always been like a box of chocolates YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO COME & this one is a pure delight- a movie that can make your day
- Manuel FrangisJune 11, 2025I just watched Forrest Gump and I give it 5 out of 5 stars. This movie touched something deep in my heart. It is one of those rare films that somehow feels both incredibly simple and impossibly rich. From the very beginning, with a feather floating through the sky, I knew I was about to witness something special. The story follows Forrest, a man with a kind heart and a straightforward way of seeing the world, but it is not just about him. It is about life, love, loss, and the quiet beauty of being present through it all. What makes this film unforgettable is how it shows the world through Forrest’s eyes, where love matters more than smarts and loyalty means everything. Tom Hanks gives a performance that is beyond acting. He becomes Forrest in every way. His delivery, his posture, the warmth in his voice, and the honesty in his face all come together to create a character who never feels made-up. Forrest is someone you believe in, someone you want to root for, someone you carry with you after the credits roll. Hanks plays him with such grace that you never once feel like the story is making fun of him. Instead, you admire him. You hurt when he hurts and feel joy when he finds happiness. It is rare to see a performance that defines a career and a generation, but this one does both. The music in this film is like a time machine. Every song fits perfectly with the moment it plays, from the Vietnam War scenes to Forrest’s run across the country. The soundtrack does more than just entertain. It places you firmly in the era and pulls you closer to the emotions of the scene. Alongside the music, the cinematography is stunning. The way the camera captures landscapes, from Alabama to Washington D.C., makes America itself feel like a character in the story. Every frame is filled with meaning. Every location tells a piece of Forrest’s journey. What surprised me most, though, is how emotional the film made me feel. I cried more than once, and not always from sadness. Sometimes I cried from the beauty of a quiet moment. Sometimes from the way Forrest would say something so simple that it cut straight to the truth. There is a certain honesty in his way of seeing life that makes you reflect on your own. It reminded me that love is worth chasing, kindness is never wasted, and that life truly is like a box of chocolates. The supporting cast is also outstanding. Jenny’s arc is complicated and real, and the pain in her journey made my heart ache. Lieutenant Dan’s story of bitterness turning into peace is powerful. Every character Forrest meets is a reflection of the times and the changing world, and yet Forrest stays true to who he is. That constancy is the soul of the movie. He may not be the smartest man, but he teaches us what it really means to live fully and love deeply. By the end, I felt like I had gone through decades of American history, seen it all from a fresh perspective, and learned something important about what truly matters. This film is more than a classic. It is a gift.
