Tom Hanks and Forrest Gump.

Forest Gump & tom hanks

This movie is my all-time favorite the only movie I cried watching the amazing story of a guy who just had a low IQ no intelligence but all he knows is hard work, friendship, love, obey his seniors and never give up.

The life lesson of persistence came up with this movie, as how "Tom hanks" became so successful without intelligence but all he knew was trying, again and again, the most amazing thing was he never complained about anything.

The great Bruce Lee once said “I am not afraid of a person who knows 10000 kicks. But I am afraid of a person who knows one kick but practices it for 10000 times.

Why Tom Hanks?

As a result of his amazing portrayal of this character, I believe he is one of the few Hollywood actors capable of handling this role. As Forest Gump, he puts himself into the character and makes him vibrant and bright; his convincing ability to fit the role and portray the character in a manner that would make us feel like we are actually in the movie this could only be achieved by Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks is not the only actor in this movie that made it won six Academy Awards.

Why Robin Wright?

Robin Wright, who played Forest Gump’s true love, played her role extremely committedly in several scenes of the movie. An example would be when Robin plays the guitar naked on the stage and Forest notices her and picks her up. The fact that she managed to fit on a stage naked in front of millions around the world in a film that will be shown to millions around the world is evidence of her dedication. It is truly deserving of the many awards it has received because of the dedication of these main characters.

Glimpses of the movie.

A child of a single mom (Sally Field) in rural Alabama, Forrest must struggle not only against expectations but also against some bullies. Unbeknownst to him, he has a special talent - he can run like the wind, which wins him a scholarship to play football for Bear Bryant at the University of Alabama. Following that, he can't be stopped.

The world is clearer to him than most people, despite his IQ of 75. As well, we also see things more clearly and more clearly through his childlike, decent eyes. The "wise fool" Forrest Gump is played by Tom Hanks in a straight-arrow morality tale filled with humor and value.

This is also a cheeky satire of social-political history in the United States for the last 70 years. Based on Winston Groom's novel, Eric Roth's screenplay interweaves Forrest's life with social events and key players from the past several decades. Unassuming Forrest, with his enthusiasm, meets the Elvis, George Wallace, presidents Kennedy through Nixon, Dick Cavett, John Lennon, and Abbie Hoffman as he graduates from 'Bama, fights in Vietnam, competes in international table tennis, founds his shrimping company with lieutenant Dan, engages in philanthropy and jogs cross-country.

Contrasting Forrest's unassuming innocence with the upheavals and rancor of the times, the film is a wisely goofy commentary on the stupidity of smartness.

In addition to Forrest's adventures in the dens of the powerful, the film offers a deeper, darker side, which revolves around Jenny (Robin Wright). Jenny was abused as a child, which explains her desire to find solid ground. Jenny is susceptible to every social movement and fad of the time, unlike Forrest, whose straightforward values and sense of right and wrong protect him from being taken advantage of, Jenny's genuflecting reveals a lack of inner strength and values.

Jenny may symbolize most of us to a certain extent. Forrest's strength lies in adeptly skirting the most heartrending scenes of his movie, but at the same time, that's in keeping with what makes him special. Thanks to Zemeckis' gracefully eloquent direction this film has reached a higher maturity level.

Hanks' all-telling body language depicts an erect, straight-arched torso. Hanks signals Forrest's deep disapproval or, in some cases, gleeful wonderment with a small motion or turn in response to every strange or perplexing situation. As Forrest's simpleminded G.I., Mykelti Williamson. Gary Sinise plays Forrest's broken platoon leader, legless after a Vietnam war, sympathetically as Forrest's bitter friend.

Forrest Gump received 13 Academy Award nominations and took home six Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Actor in a Leading Role (Hanks), and Best Director (Robert Zemeckis). This movie can never get old.
