March 7, 2013: Life is Like a Box of Chocolates!

My absolute favorite movie is Forrest Gump by far! It's my favorite movie because it has action, romance, and comedy all wrapped up into a movie. Tom Hanks is an amazing actor. I remember when I was younger I thought that Forrwst Gump was based on a true story.. The first year I went to Washington I stood at the Lincoln Memorial and announced to everyone that was around that that's where Forrest Gump stood. That day my history teacher told me that it wasn't real. My heart was broken but I soon recovered. Even though it wasn't based on a true story it is still my all time favorite movie ever! My favorite part was when Forrest ran out of his leg braces and he was running ever since that happened. I like the morals of the story, even though when I was little I didn't understand them. Just because you're a little different doesn't mean you're not capable of doing what you want in life. This movie is inspirational and heart felt. It wasn't based on a true story but all of the events were true. It also showed how people lived in the south so it could relate to many people. WATCH IT, it's worth it!
