Forrest Gump

"-don't never let nobody make a movie of your life's story"....thus author Winston Groom states in the opening paragraph of the sequel GUMP & CO. which I doubt they will ever bother to put to film. No matter how crass and greedy Hollywood is there just ain't no point after FORREST GUMP. We have two things working here, Tom Hanks, who is the closest to a Jimmy Stewart we'll have in this age and Robert Zemeckis who is the closest we'll have in this age to a Frank Capra. There is simply nothing bad I can say about this piece of work, in EVERY aspect it excels making this what will, with absolutely no doubt, one of the top films of this age people will look back on with the same awe as we might THE WIZARD OF OZ or CASABLANCA.
