- Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2025ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE MOVIES EVER!!! TOM HANKS IS PHENOMENAL IN THIS MOVIE...
- Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2025My son came to me asking to rent the movie Forrest Gump, and I wasn't surprised. I can understand why it grabbed his attention. The story of Forrest’s incredible life, full of unexpected twists and heartfelt moments.
My son was especially taken by Forrest's determination and kindness, and it led to some really great discussions about how important it is to be kind and stay true to yourself, no matter what life throws your way. Always a good watch since 1994. This movie never gets old!

- Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2025One of the greatest movies I grew up watching and to this day makes me cry and laugh.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2006I rate this movie 5 stars, or 9,5/10. This is one of the 100 Best America movies of All Times (#71 to be more exact) and it is included in the 1000 Best Movies in DVD by Peter Travers. The movie won 6 Oscars, including Best Director for Robert Zemeckis ("Back to the Future"), Picture, and Actor (Tom Hanks speech went like this: "If Forrest Gump was here tonight he'd say: "I went to the Academy Awards AGAIN, and they gave me the Oscar AGAIN!" making reference at his Oscar for Philadelphia the previous year), and Best Effects (there is a great documentary on that in the second DVD on this edition), Best Film Editing, and Best Writing based on Material from Another Medium. Special mention deserves the music on the film, going over most of the hits of the late 50's and the 60's. So if you like R'n'R, go and buy the Soundtrack as well!
The movie depicts the story of Forrest Gump, a mentally retarded kid who makes it to the top. That can be understood in, at least, two different ways: 1. Any mentally retarded can do good in America. 2. America is the land of opportunity where anybody who tries hard can make it. But this is a movie, a very good movie. So it's a piece of entertainment, and I just watched the movie today (I just watched a couple of times when I came out 12 years ago), and I had a lot of fun. As an example, when Gump goes to the Army, he is very good just following orders, not even thinking about it, so his Sargent tells him "You must have an IQ of 160!". That, in my opinion, is really funny, and a very witty critic to the Army, where all they need is "robots" who can just obey without even thinking. There is also something remarkable. When Forrest Gump comes back from Vietnam, he happens to be at Washington D.C., where there is a huge demonstration against the War. The city is taken by hippies and pacifists. Jenny, the woman of his dreams, is there. They meet. And her boyfriend smashes her in fornt of him. Forrest Gump, the "baby-killer" from Vietnam, as he is called, defends her violently. But it's obvious that the guy who is a "pacifist" was using violence with her, using bad language and in acts. That is nothing put there by chance. It has a meaning. There was violence in Vietnam, in the war, at home, by the police, but also by the protesters. And that is something that has rarely been told. They were using drugs to "liberate" themselves, but that was -in my opinion- another violent way to express themselves. There are a lot of details like that in the movie, that no one could miss. For instance, when the mother of Forrest Gump tries to enroll him at a Regular Elementary school, the Principal is trying to explain her that Forrest's IQ is below normal, and that he should be going to a special school (there was no inclusion at that time). The mother thinks Forrest should have the same opportunities as anybody else, so she offers herself to do "anything" possible to allow Forrest to go to a regular school. And the Principal takes advantage of her. That is another very intelligent critic to things that, unfortunately, are still happening today. Another thing is when Forrest goes to college. Once he graduates, he tells us in plain English "After 5 years playing football, they gave me a degree". So, after 5 years doing nothing, I graduated anyway. Does it sound famiiar? Read between the lines!
To end with this review, I will just say that this is a GREAT movie, very entertaining, well done (the sound in the war scenes is just superb!), a pleasure to watch, with a lot of fun moments, some tender ones, and it tells us a little bit about the history of the US from the 50's to the 80's. It's not that "retarded". It is a very witti one, and it deserves the place it made in the History of Cinema. This is a special edition with 2 DVD's, very CHEAP and highly recommended. If you don't have it in your collection, your collection is "crippled".

5.0 out of 5 stars "Life is like a box of chocolates....", yeah we know it and LOVE it!
Fantastic edition for a fantastic film! Tom Hanks best performance as Forrest Gump, which won Hanks his second best actor Academy Award for the 94' Oscars. Also at the 93' Oscars, the year before, he won the Best Actor Academy Award for Philadelphia. Tom Hanks, you deserve one Oscar after another, and this movie and performance show that!
