"Forest Gump"

The best film I´ve ever seen is Forest Gump with Tom Hanks in the leading role, Robin Wrigth as “Jenny Curran”, Gary Sinise as “Lt Dan Taylor,the superb Sally Field as Forest´s mother and Haley Joel Osment in the role of . The film talks about a boy who he was handicapped and had many problems with the kids at school. He joins the U.S.A. Army to take part in the war against Korea and returns as a hero.

The plot holds opposing interpretations. It can either be seen as a critical view to the mediocrity of the North American society, in which someone like Forest ends up as a hero, or it can be seen as story where the main character overcomes individual problems and has a successful life.

The movie won six Oscars in 1995. I recommend it not only for the stunning performances, but also for the message.
