It was on. Never seen the entire movie, but I think it shold be nominated as the movie of the century; a great movie. Hats off to Tom Hanks and the director. A true tear jerker.
Great, great, GREAT, great movie! I have seen it like 3 or 4 times and I never get tired of it. When Robin Wright Penn dies, it is such a sad scene. I get tears in my eyes when I remember Tom Hanks (who proved that he is up there with DeNiro as one of the greatest actors of our generation with this performance) is at her grave "talking to her". BTW - gr8-1: You REALLY need to see the whole movie! It means even more when you have seen all of it.
I've seen bits and pieces of the movie, and I know the theme of it. Sad thing is, the sadest part isn't when Penn dies. I think the commentary about life is what is hear-wrenching about the mobie. A great, great movie.
A great movie, but I wonder what kind of legs it will have. If I recall correctly, it didn't do so well overseas. You may not only need to be an American to fully appreciate it, but maybe an American from the 20th century. Or maybe it will be a cult classic in 100 years.
Great movie .. I just finished watching Cast Away and Hanks is awesome in this movie as well..I don't think many actors could have pulled of such a great performance with a volleyball as a co-star.
Am I the only one that didn't like this movie? Every time that I tell someone I hated it, they think I have no soul. However, I will admit that Hanks put in an amazing performance. KT
Man, what kind of soul lacking monster are you? How can you hate this movie? Stay away from me man, pure evil, I sense it.
I had a little disdain for A Beautiful Mind because it robbed Lotr, but then I sacked up and watched it, and now I love that movie. So the moral of the story is that I think she should go back to GREENBOW ALABAMA!
Okay, I post this knowing that it will probably kill my run in the "best poster #2" competition, but now I will have an excuse when ROXTXIA kicks my behind. Kilgore Trout, you are not the only one. What you need for that movie is major "suspension of disbelief," and I tried (oh did I), but I couldn't get there. I just kept saying "no way, he wouldn't do that, no matter how dumb he is." I will say Gary Senise (sp) was absolutely brilliant, and that scene of the shrimpboat in the storm is priceless. But overall, I just could not get myself to care about that brain-damaged guy and that self-inflicted-trouble woman he loved. Especially not for 4.28 hours. It's not easy being bereft of soul, and completely evil. Maybe I should just go ahead and buy a luxury SUV. Hmmm...
Every time I watch Forrest Gump, I always come away thinking how HOT Robin Wright Penn is. Ol' Sean is a lucky guy.
hell Jennie killed the movie for me. . . her character whats RollerGirl-from boogie nights- stupid at the end i had no sympathy for her Forrest gets rich .. BOOM look who shows up ALL OF A SUDDEN SKANK Gary Sinese and Hanks were great and who could for get forrest's BEST GOOD FRIEND BUBBA Rocket River
Tom Hanks has had a string of good movies. Big was OK, but then there is Forrest Gump, Castaway, Saving Private Ryan and The Green Mile. He's a great actor and has a great sense of what scripts would make a good movie.
who can forget Turner & Hooch or Bachelor Party!? "and the winner is Paprika!!! Yeahhhh! Paprikaaaa!"
Another Tom Hanks classic The Bonfire of the Vanities At least he got to feel up Melanie Griffith's new breasts.
