Forrest Gump

Like a feather floating in a breeze, the life of Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) weaves through ever-changing circumstances, yet, for decades, two things remain constant… devotion for his mother (Sally Field), and his love for Jenny (Robin Wright). As Gump puts it, he may not be a smart man, but he knows what love is.

With the help of ClearPlay filters, “Forrest Gump” plays like a clean classic. Gone are the religious profanity, F-words and obscenities. Gone are the scenes of implied sex and partial nudity. Gone are the more graphic war injuries. What remains is Gump’s excellent story.

So, is “Forrest Gump” a nougat or a gooey cream filling? …

Forrest’s momma told him, “Life is like a box of chocolates." The same goes for the movie. Some scenes are rich and smooth, some nutty, some sticky, some with a soft creamy center. Most segments provide nougats to chew on: dying is a part of life; you have to let go of the past before you can move on; and, sometimes there just aren’t enough rocks. Certain topics might be too strong for young children, but teens and adults can savor the film.
