My Favorite Movie

Watching movies is one of my favorite pastimes.  Through movies I travel in time and space in a way that  feeds my soul and my imagination.

 Of all the films I have watched in my life, none of them has equaled the depth with which  Forest Gump has touched my heart. This is my all time favorite, and I have forgotten when I saw it for the first time, and how many times I have seen it after that moment and what is more, I never get bored watching it.

The film is a comedy-drama that was released in 1994 and was directed by Robert Zemericks, and starred by Tom Hanks, Robin Wright and Gary Sinise.

I am passionate about this film for two reasons.  The first is that  it depicts the horrors of war from the  angle of Forrest’s eyes. Forrest is a young man who has an IQ below 75, but is extremely kind-hearted and loyal to his friends and family.   The second reason to love this film is the way Forrest connects with his mother, his girlfriend Jenny and his son, Forrest Gump Jr.  

One aspect to highlight is how his mother interacts with him and explains complex concepts to him in a simple way.  One of the best moments is when she has to explain to him that she is about to die and tells him the philosophical  and famous  quote,  ‘Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.’”
