    *****

    Forrest Gump was an all time classic that will never get old. Tom Hanks was, of course, great and I always thought he was good with accents. Sometimes, I forget that's not how he talks like when he was in The Terminal. I always loved movies that were in different periods. I like how they added people in there like John Lennon, President Kennedy, etc. I like the message that this movie brings. I mean, most people would think that a man with an IQ of 70 wouldn't have a future but he had an entire history that most people would kill for. He played college football, he was in the army, he met famous people, he ran cross country, etc. It was all given to him without asking. That proves that sometimes when you aren't eager and when you don't ask for things all the time, your hopes and dreams also come to you. And with Jenny how he kept being eager to be with her and she kept refusing but then she finally came to him. That was his true dream. LEARN FROM FORREST AND SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!

    "Life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you gonna get". The unforgettable phrase depicting the uncertainties of life. Thumbs up to the scriptwriter who came with that phrase

    Hopefully this story relating to how person with low IQ manages to make difference would be an inspiration to all.

    However, one man's true love to one and only girl seems more like fairytale. Perhaps the fair statement is that " I never met a guy like that before" . If I do... I'll marry him straightway. I won't wait that long like Jenny. hahahaha....
