This touching saga follows the remarkable life of a simple, innocent man who finds himself in extraordinary, history-making situations. It features amazing special effects. The film chronicles his life from the '50s up through the '80s and is narrated by Gump. As a boy in Greenbow Alabama, the mildly retarded (a 75 IQ) and slightly crippled Forrest was the butt of childhood cruelty. His only friend was Jenny, a sexually abused child, who became the love of his life. During those thirty years Gump becomes a football star, meets George Wallace and JFK, wins the congressional medal of honor in Vietnam, meets LBJ, spends the night with the Black Panthers, becomes an international ping-pong champion, plays a role in Watergate, develops a multi-million dollar shrimp empire with a buddy, and becomes a jogging guru as he runs across the country several times. His love Jenny is on a different and self-destructive road that leads her to become a stripper, a hippy, a radical and finally a single mother. Gump always loved her unconditionally and in the end provides her with the peace she always sought.

Fiction is fiction and nonfiction is nonfiction, and in case you get those mixed up, fiction is the "not real one" and nonfiction is "the real one." Those lines can get blurred, however, when a real-life person from the real world shows up for a little while in what is otherwise a not-true story. It's [...]
