A timeless and beautiful movie. Forrest Gump is truly a modern epic. It's hilarious, heartbreaking, sometimes breathtaking, and completely unforgettable. The scope is impressive. Never does the movie feel slight or insignificant. It encompasses the entire human emotional spectrum, is impeccably acted, especially by Hanks, and it contains some of the most memorable characters in film history. At the risk of sounding too overjoyed, it's an absolute classic. Forget the cynics and their campaign against anything emotionally touching. This is one of the greatest films of all time. It's an accomplishment that has stood the test of time and shows no sign of aging.

The major conflict of the present movie is the stereotypes perception of mentally challenged people as cripples; Forrest Gump is not a smart man and he understands this from the very beginning of his life. However, Gump manages to live a decent life, to achieve success that may be never achieved by normal people and becomes a hero of the United States, then a tremendously rich man and finally a happy father. There is hardly anyone who can boast such achievements within one life, and the only wisdom Forrest follows is very simple: “You have to do the best with what God gave you (Memorable Quotes for Forrest Gump). Thus, the conflict of expectations from a challenged person and the reality of his life is put to the foreground of the movie. movie has inspirational dialouges.
