FORREST: I’m not a smart man, but I know what love is.
There are movies that we watch and never forget. This is one of those movies for me. It changes you and how you perceive things. In this simple line that Forrest uttered at the point wherein he professed his love to the girl he would later on marry, we see the simplicity and innocence of how life could be for some people. We see that no matter how natural and simple the ways of some people are, the true sincerity and honesty is what weighs so much more than anything else.
Forrest Gump teaches us to be more of our humble selves by his very convincing portrayal of a man who was able to make a good name for himself despite the fact that he was in a way, unlike the normal people his age. A movie that would drive you to tears, drive you to laughter and all other kinds of emotions, Forrest Gump is really one film one must have in his collection.
