This movie is at the right place at the right time - Forrest Gump Reviews

Simply put, Forrest Gump is always at the right place at the right time. This enormous box office hit would take home the Best Picture Academy Award, whilst Tom Hanks earned his second Best Actor Oscar for his riveting but extremely meticulously portrayal of the lead character. Director Robert Zemeckis who previously garnered huge success with the ?Back To The Future? trilogy and ?Who Framed Roger Rabbit? fame, will win an Oscar for his trade as a well established director in Hollywood mainframe. Forrest Gump will also go on to take Academy Awards for Adapted Screenplay, Editing and Visual Effects and undoubtedly considered to be one of the best movies to be released in that calendar year. Zemeckis will work with Hanks six years later in the movie ?Castaway?, which gave Hanks an Oscar nomination. In the movie entirety, every still photograph of Forrest Gump shows him with his eyes closed.
