Description
Life is like a box of chocolates, folks; you never know what you're gonna get. Tom Hanks plays the titular character in a film that defies traditional story structures and genre conventions. At the beating heart of this examination (and critique, perhaps?) of the US in the 60s and 70s is Forrest's undying love to Jenny. But that's about where 'conventional' and Forrest diverge, never to return again. Amazing cast, wonderful sweeping score, glitzy photography and a soundtrack that DOESN'T QUIT. It's Forrest Gump, this week on Film School!
