Forrest Gump

I'm so sorry that James got to the computer when his father and I weren't watching. He used to be a normal boy. Then he saw this reactionary pile of crap, entitled "Forrest Gump" and, since then, we haven't been able to trust him alone in public as he so strongly identifies with the dimwitted hero. God Bless the Simpleminded.

Excellently crafted, snapshot of the late 20th century. The joy is in the ride, where the story is around the main character as opposed to about the main character. Truly stuning still.

I liked the movie--a lot

Slightly over sentimental, but still brilliant after all these years. I'm from the UK so have no real insight into what other people are arguing about, but I thought the period of American history covered in the film was conveyed really well. The film does not contain the blank or cruel cynicism that seems to substitute as a moral compass for movie makers nowadays. What it does contain is tear jerking romance, exciting action scenes, comedy and deep insight into the human condition. Not stupid at all.

Interesting libs have to invoke the tax-CUTTING JFK, welfare SIGNING Bill Clinton, and REPUBLICANS Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt as their great "liberal" presidents! If liberalism is such a great platform, I would think all our presidents would be ONLY liberal.

"When there have been about, hmm lets see 0 good liberal presidents." yes, James, let us see...first off, there's FDR--kinda hard to forget since he was president FOREVER. then there's JFK, Clinton (a liberal for his era), and even Teddy Roosevelt, whose positions on many issues would also qualify him as a lib today. So 4 of the 5 most beloved presidents of the 20th century were liberals. at least you didn't use a negative number.

Oh no you called me dumb! You are truly a great debater. Were you in that Great Debaters movie? You clearly pointed out all the flaws in my argument...oh no wait you didn't. See all you can say is I have a lack of capitalization. This isn't a doctoral dissertation, this is a movie review website. So pretty much you are sitting there dumbfounded and speechless, grouping for something, anything you can use against me. And guess what, you found nothing. Now scurry on home, cry, and watch clips of your favorite Obama speeches. When you have anything of substance to say I will be here, ready to respond. Until then, God bless.

Your blatant one sided argument and lack of capitalization makes you look dumb.

I believe with Reagan you are referring to the Iran Contra affair. One he was acquitted of having anything to do with. Besides that he ended the Cold War, saved Jimmy Carter's abomination of an economy, had the largest election victory of all time, created 16 million jobs, and had Nobel prize winning economists such as MIlton Friedman and Robert Mundell singing him praises. But besides that he was awful.

Haha Jefferson liberal? is it his opposition to gun control or his hatred of big government that makes him liberal? Oh no wait, that would make him conservative. Oh no I got it, it was his opposition to a national bank that made him liberal. Oh no wait, still Republican. People who posted after me, please read a history book before you even attempt talking to me. And Jimmy it's funny, because your ignorance makes ME laugh.
