Critics Consensus: A touching and truly original film about the simplicity of one man during America's most complex period of time. Paramount Pictures Director: Robert Zemeckis Cast: Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Gary Sinise, Myketi Williamson, Sally Field Rated: PG-13 Theatrical Release: July 6, 1994 For more information on Forrest Gump, click here! "Forrest Gump" is a very special movie, a movie in which so many values, traditions, historical events and occurrences are all seen through the eyes of one man who is affected by all of the above mentioned aspects of life. This man is the very embodiment of American innocence in a time when that innocence was fading from sight, with such events as the Vietnam War and segregation issues plaguing the country, and through his simple words and actions, we are able to appreciate the lives in which we live on a much more elevated level. The film is a complex and stunning journey that involves many characters, all of whom represent a separate and unique stereotype of the 50's, 60's and 70's. The events portrayed throughout the movie are handled with such meticulous detail and through the eyes of Forrest Gump, we see everything in a whole new light. His simplicity and limited education seem more of a blessing than a curse, and it may cause viewers to look at their own lives and take stock of themselves as well. Forrest's journey begins in his early years, as a skinny child who must wear leg braces for his crooked back. His mother will do just about anything for him, including giving special favors to the public school principle in order to get her son enrolled.
