This article was written by Hal hinson in the year when the movie came
out the big screens for the first time. This article appeared in washington post.
The writer argues that even though Forrest Gump has been portraited
in the movie as a pop- culture hero of the 90's and a figure of sanity
in an insane world which marks a return to decency and basic family values,
he is nothing like that at all. He argues that Forrest Gump is a man
with no qualities and the harder you look at Gump the less there is to see.
He also talks about the impresion that life would be easier if one was stupid
the movie leaves and discusses the historical events in the movie.
