The
Academy Award winner for Best Picture, Best Director Robert
Zemeckis, and Best Actor Tom Hanks, this unlikely story of a slow-witted but
good-hearted man somehow at the center of the pivotal
events of the 20th century is a funny and heartwarming
epic. Hanks
plays the title character, a shy Southern boy in love
with his childhood best friend (Robin Wright) who finds
that his ability to run fast takes him places.
As
an All-Star football player he meets John F. Kennedy; as
a soldier in
Vietnam
he's a war hero; and as a
world champion Ping-Pong player he's hailed by Richard
Nixon. Becoming
a successful shrimp-boat captain, he still yearns for
the love of his life, who takes a quite different and
much sadder path in life. The
visual effects incorporating Hanks into existing
newsreel footage is both funny and impressive, but the
heart of the film lies in its sweet love story and in
the triumphant performance of Hanks as an unassuming
soul who savors the most from his life and times.
