    Forrest Gump

    ★★★★½

    There are few films that make you think about life as imaginatively as Forrest Gump.

    Firstly, the film is, unequivocally, a large advertisement for America. Through the eyes of an unashamedly optimistic, yet considerate man, we see what has defined America in its recent history, the country's evolution and more subliminally, its self-pride. Through Gump's involvement in some the country's most defining events, viewers, particularly American's themselves, can re-evaluate what it means to be American. We can see that Gump,…

Each cast memeber is so perfectly cast.

    If I'm being brutally honest, the final installment will have an incredibly tough task beating this because the rewatchability on this thing is mental-must have seen this close to 10 times now.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10
