A superb drama that tracks the life of the fictitious Forrest Gump, once a crippled child who miraculously learned how to walk, a Vietnam War hero to receive the Congressional Metal of Honor, the ping pong champion of the world, the founder of a highly successful shrimp business and an original investor of Apple Computers. Laden with funny and touching parts at a perfect balance with Tom Hanks doing an excellent job playing Forrest Gump and Sally Field being memorable as Gump's mother. The rest of the cast work perfectly together helping Forrest Gump be a flawless film that has gained ample popularity and adoration.
