Forrest_Gump

Forrest Gump “Life is like a box of chocolates…you never know what you’re gonna get.” This quote was frequently heard during the summer of 1994 when Robert Zemeckis directed Forrest Gump. A film of two hours and twelve minutes, one would think the movie would lose interest, but it’s the complete opposite. Forrest Gump, a low-intelligent man, tells his life story to people waiting at a small town bus stop. The film allows the audience to see the world through his misunderstanding of many things, demonstrating his low IQ. The movie starts out with a young Forrest Gump, played by Michael Humphreys. Forrest meets the love of his life, Jenny, played by Hanna Hall. They met the first day of school on the bus; Jenny was the only person that was nice to him, besides his mother. When the two grow up Tom Hanks plays Forrest Gump and Robin Wright plays Jenny. Because of Forrest’s below average IQ, Mrs. Gump, played by Sally Field, slept with his principal for admission of him into the school. Forrest later on received his high school diploma and because of his blazing speed, was offered a scholarship to play football at the University forrest, people, gump, life, jenny, because, bubba, movie, college, war, think, shrimp, played, vietnam, two, school, out, never, football, film, during, better, being, another, social, smart, one, much, lived, lieutenant, forrest’s, dan, blacks, became, attend
