Forrest Gump

The film I'm going to talk about today is very well-known and most of you may have watched it. I watched it not much time ago, though. This film's director is Robert Zeneckis, who also directed 'The Polar Express' (a film which is tradition to watch all Christmas in my family), 'Back to The Future' (which is great in my opinion) and lots of other well-known films. He won the 'Academy Award for the Best Director' after finishing 'Forrest Gump'. The film is an adaptation from a book by Eric Roth, which Zeneckis says is more focused on romance and Forrest doesn't look like a decent person. Forrest Gump's actor is Tom Hanks, and I consider he must be a great actor (although I haven't watched any other of his films) because to act as someone like Forrest might be hard. Jenny is Robin Wright, Gary Sinise is Lieutenant Dan Taylor, Mykelti Williamson is Bubba, and so on. The story is about Forrest Gump, a boy who has to wear some sort of a gadget to walk and straighten his column. The day he beggins school, after his mom has talked with the headmaster lots of times because his IC (Intelectual Coeficient) was 75 and the minimum they accepted was of 80, he got up the bus and only a girl let him to sit with her, her name was Jenny Curran. She became his best friend, and they grew up together, until college. Forrest fell in love with her and didn't understand why she wasn't with him. Jenny carried with a pretty hard life, with drugs and other things that made her life worst. Forrest, on the other side, as he did whatever they asked him to do so, he had much success in the military corp, then playing ping-pong, and so on with many other things. He became really wealthy and had a great life, altough he didn't really realised it. When his mom died, he was working in his 'Bubba-Gump' factory, which he decided to carry with his best friend, Bubba, who he met in the military corp, but dissafortunately, died in Forrest's arms, trying to save him. The whole story is told by Forrest while he's waiting for the bus to different people who stay there to listen to him. The last thing he talks about is that, one day, he decided, just to run. And he ran for 3 years. He said: "I slept when I wanted to sleep and I ate when I wanted to eat, and then I continued running. I felt like running.". He missed Jenny durnig that time. When he's telling the story to an old woman, telling her he's going to Jenny's house, she tells him he doesn't have to take the bus, because her house's no more than around 3 streets away! He went there and met Jenny, who had a child who, to Forrest's surprise, was his child also. Jenny and him began living together and the film ends when Forrest's with his son waiting for the bus at his first school-day.
