its only a Coli thing. A lot of people dont rate Forrest Gump that highly.
It won the Best Picture award over Shawshank Redemption and Pulp Fiction.
Zemeckis won best director over Taratino
It's farcical. Plus not to mention the terrible messages that movie sends.
It's one of the most conservative films I've ever seen.
Forrest Gump is a lovable southern boy, who is indeed a bit slow but never questions anything, always does what he's told, becomes a college football all-star, serves valiantly in Vietnam, starts a shrimping company and becomes a member of the 1%.
Jenny on the other hand cavorts with homosexuals and brown people at those dirty discotheques, hangs out with the black panthers and radicals, is a sexually free female, experiments with drugs and for all intents and purposes is the antithesis of the establishment...and her fate is child molestation and DEATH. FROM AIDS.
