Forrest Gump [Blu-ray]

Good watch

This superb film is the definition of irony, this film has it all through. Forrest Gump a man with learning difficulties, who is gentle, kind and loyal, traits that are not universally found in people. He first came across the other all too common adverse side of the human character cruelty; when alighting on the school bus for the first time - this seats taken - it's taken - this seats taken. Until after walking the gauntlet, while wearing callipers strapped to his legs, a compassionate voice said "you can sit here if you want". She was to become his lifelong friend Jenny.Fate bestowed on him another gift, after being taunted and pelted with stones, Jenny shouted "run Forrest run". [Forrest] "And do you know - I could run like the wind", (callipers flying off ). His running took him through college; they had to stop him - after scoring a touchdown - running out of the end zone and straight out of the stadium.Then Into Vietnam he meets Buba who becomes his good friend, and the compassionate street wise and dry Lieutenant Dan. Their unit gets ambushed, Forrest's automatic supreme act of heroism and selflessness, he extracts his fellow comrades. Forrest was awarded America's highest medal for valour and courage. The Medal of Honour - and could not have gone to a more deserving man. It was well suited in Forrest. He later meets up with Lieutenant Dan, whose life is transformed from cynical depressive, to reconciliation with life, and life was worth living through his friendship in Forrest. Smile when you see the situations he gets himself into. Feel empathy and sorrow when he's cruelly treated. If you have a heart of granite this film will not affect you. If you have a trace of humility - it will get you where it really counts, right in the heart. The music set to the film was outstanding.Stella acting and great scene performances from Gary Sinese - Lt Dan Taylor, Mykelti Williamson - Bubba and Tom HanksBrilliant very moving film

Great film looking forward to watching this in blu ray.

Seen before, it's a classic. First time watching with the kids, everyone enjoyed it

Highly recommended to watch this classic.

This is a film that will stay with me for a long time. It was touching and heart-warming, and Forrest is a truly wonderful character. A little sadder than I expected, but still deeply life-affirming. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone

Thoroughly enjoyable.

It's in my top ten movies of all time
