U talking about the sitcom "Friends"?
I am not the type of person to cry at movies, but Forrest Gump is one of the very few films that make me teary eyed; at least a little.
People, people, people. This movie is a fairy tale, like Snow White and Pan's Labyrinth. It wasn't made to be taken too seriously as all you seemingly are taking it as. It's a tall tale, it's delightfully funny while capturing American sentimentalism as well. Forrest is the modern day Mr. Smith - getting ahead with innocence and optimism. I guess it might just be too lighthearted for cynical film snobs?
Disgusting, sentimental, reactionary tall tale for all the Forrest Gumps in the world.
It's strange to think the man who made this infuriatingly wretched movie also brought the world Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Back to the Future. What's more offensive: the way it romanticizes being retarded or how cute it (wrongly) thinks its pop history humor is? If Crash is the worst Best Picture winner of the 00s, this is most certainly the worst of the 90s.

Moron. A Beautiful Mind is worse than Crash and Braveheart, Shakespeare in Love, and American Beauty are all worse than this.
decided to watch all the movies me and my dad used to watch together. he would seat with me in a sofa in front of the tv and i could see he was all excited to watch these movies all over again. and i think it was important to him that I watched them too. and I think i will watch Forrest Gump with my own kids someday.
que linda pelicula...quien no la ha visto??...es bien larga pero vale la pena verla con toda la emoción del mundo pq el personaje principal es Forrest bien inocente y enamorado hasta el final de su Jenny (amigui de la infancia, bien loca y desorientada en la vida)............no se que mas decir, es que hay criticas bien bkns y ya me dio pudor :)
Tom Hanks was brilliant, the movie itself was average. certainly lots of good tracks though.
call me stupid but if Jenny dies of AIDS, does that mean that Forrest and Lil' Forrest got AIDS too? huh? this film is ridiculous...
How this won best picture over Quiz Show and Pulp Fiction is a mystery that no one will ever be able to solve. An average, 2/5 film winning over a 5/5, French New-Wave influenced masterpiece. Weird, huh?
Jajajaja, neither Forrest or Pulp Fiction disserve nothing. Tarantino is full of bullshit.
People here are being to severe about the film. It's just storytelling. To take it so serius to the point to think its disrespectiful.. The excess sentimentalism, though, is irritating.
Intensamente tocante este filme que foi dos primeiros que conseguiu que percebesse que a vida muitas vezes pode não nos dar tudo, mas acaba sempre por dar alguma coisa. Um clássico que revi com imenso gosto e que na repetição me abriu o olhar para pormenores que na outra vez não tinha reparado.
