Sunday Matinee at Chess Cinemas

Forrest-Gump

It is hard to believe that it is has been twenty years since Forrest Gump (1994) was released, a bonafide classic in the heat of summer.

Tom Hanks stars in this unforgettable, sweeping drama/comedy/romance story about a challenged Alabama boy who grows up to partake in many historical events.

I would argue that the ten-minute Vietnam War sequence in the movie is as solid as several feature-length films devoted solely to Vietnam.

Also of note in the cast for great performances are: Robin Wright, Gary Sinise, and Mykelti Williamson.

    It is hard for an intelligent actor to portray stupidity convincingly. Usually, the performance comes across as a contrived caricature. Hanks did it well, as did Marlon Brando in “On the Waterfront” and John Malkovich in “Of Mice And Men”.
