The film is about a man named Forrest Gump from Alabama telling his amazing life story to bypassers at a bus stop. Forrest begins to tell his lifestory from his childhood when he was bullied by some kids because he was crippled and couldn’t walk normally. But then he met Jenny and they became best friends like Forrest said ”we go together like peas and carrots”, Forrest always loved Jenny eventough Jenny did all kind of things for example she went roadtripping with strangers and smoked weed.
Forrest was accepted to play football in university because he was so fast runner, he couldn’t actually play football but he was chosen to All-American football team and got to meet president John F. Kennedy. He graduated from university and went to army and he was called to war  in Vietnam.Forrest learned to play ping-pong in Vietnam while he was injured and he was so good that he was chosen to All-American ping-pong team, with whom he travelled to China to play ping-pong. Forrest got discharged from the army. He met a man called Bubba while he was serving in Vietnam and they became friends.

Forrest leaves shrimping industry and moves to cutting grass and he enjoys doing it.
Forrest’s loneliness leads him to take a run ”for no particular reason.” At first, he decides  to run to the end of the road, then across town, then across the county, then all the way to the Mississippi border. Eventually, he criss-crosses the country several times in three years. In the end of the movie Jenny tells to Forrest that he has a son.

Tom Hanks plays amazing role as Forrest Gump and he is awarded the Best Actor in a Leading Role Oscar in 1995. The visual effects are well implemented and they were also awarded with an Oscar for best effects in 1995. In total Forrest Gump won 6 Oscars and lots of other prizes. The movie is successful from all perspectives in my opinion. It gets better and better everytime you watch it, I recommend it to everyone.
