Forrest Gump (2003)
in Movies ·
I find myself coming back to this movie every single year (even though I’m not really a Christmas person, let alone a fan of rom-coms).
Once everyone else started listing their favorite parts...
My take:
1. The best storyline is the one with Colin Firth and the Portuguese woman
2. The story about the kid and his stepfather... That one always gets to me. My absolute favorite scene in the whole movie is that conversation on the bench http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yO9yNFCt4M
...the other stories are nice, sure, but those two are the ones that stick with me.
And okay, maybe it’s considered "sappy" by some standards (though if you ask me, it isn't at all). It dances right on the edge without ever actually crossing over. Maybe the only parts where it leans too hard are the beginning and the end with the strangers at the airport. Honestly, I don't even count those bits as part of the actual movie.
The whole thing is just incredibly warm, without ever insulting your intelligence.
