GCS 005: "Forrest Gump" by Robert Zemeckis

Today on this new episode I'll bring you one of my favorite films ever!

Forrest Gump (1994) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109830/storyline

Forrest, Forrest Gump is a simple man with little brain activity but good intentions. He struggles through childhood with his best and only friend Jenny. His 'mama' teaches him the ways of life and leaves him to choose his destiny. Forrest joins the army for service in Vietnam, finding new friends called Dan and Bubba, he wins medals, starts a table tennis craze, creates a famous shrimp fishing fleet, inspires people to jog, create the smiley, write bumper stickers and songs, donating to people and meeting the president several times. However this is all irrelevant to Forrest who can only think of his childhood sweetheart Jenny. Who has messed up her life. Although in the end all he wants to prove is that anyone can love anyone.

Forrest Gump was one of the most magical movies of the last decade. I had everything, it was funny, cute, romantic and dramatic.
