5.0 out of 5 stars Sumptuous Gump! 12 April 2007
Format:Perfect Paperback
If you have seen the movie - read the book. You feel like you are meeting Forrest for the first time. The movie is so different from the book that it is practically a whole new life story, but with the same character we all know a love. The horizons are broader, although the world that Gump lives in is darker and he is more maligned than Tom Hanks' Forrest is. Still, when you read the book, you come to realise that there is a little Gump in all of us! Long Live Forrest Gump!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Joy To Watch 13 Oct 2012
Format:DVD
I love the way some of the low rating reviewers of this movie patronise the rest of us by thinking they and only they can think about a movie. It's fiction, it's escapism. Their same arguments would ban any form of shoot 'em up or car racing video games, as they seem to assume all seen on screen is taken as fact by the plebs.

This movie is silly (or maybe daft), it is deeply and unashamedly sentimental, and it is not to be taken seriously in any way. It is apolitical and really makes no statements at all. At least in my view.

Get over that, and what you find is a delightful romp through recent American culture, lots of lovely in gags, and a protagonist who is too daft and harmless to be allowed to fail.

A truly stellar cast, the most blatant manipulation of emotions, high production values.

This film is a delight. Like a less zany "Being There"(which admittedly if you choose to go there, does have a message about the hollowness of society).

Forrest Gump bumbles through life, always seeking his one true love, protected by his mother from the consequences of his low intelligence- at least as long as she can (the wonderful Sally Field), goes to war, returns,is puzzled by and lost in 60's flower power culture, finds and loses his love (more than once) and mows lawns.

It is just a delight, of the movie family of "Driving Miss Daisy" and "Fried Green Tomatoes.." what I call a "big grin movie". There is nothing more to say.

Wonderful film - as most of the 44 other reviews so far say! 5 stars for the DVD, as the special features are very interesting and obviously the film is wonderful.

Forest Gump is a well portrayed film about overcoming disability for those who can suspend belief.

Although I find it to be a difficult film to produce I still find this film highly watchable and succeeds in portraying events as they happened.

This story is illustrating that intellect is not important - Integrity, consistency, honesty and supporting others selflessly are the most important things in life.
