Forrest Gump tells the story of a slow-witted, honest man whose life plays out against the backdrop  of America's most influential decades. This classic tale of a mediocre youngster from Alabama  who becomes an unlikely success is played with an honest simplicity. Academy Award winner Tom Hanks plays Forrest Gump whose adventures range from growing up in 1950s rural Alabama, to fighting in the Vietnam War, living in New York, running across the country and getting into the shrimp business while being ever presently in love with his childhood sweetheart Jenny. Jenny often leads a tumultuous life while trying to deal with emotional struggles resonating from her early childhood. Both of these scenarios require the audience to bring historical & social knowledge to the film as it recaptures pivotal moments in American history.This epic drama/comedy gives an honest, untarnished depiction of American life.
