Forrest Gump

What happens in the film? Explain briefly. No spoilers!
Im not too sure you can briefly sum up Forest Gump. There is a lot of things that happen. It's a journey of a boy to a man and his relationship with the love of his life Jenny. Whilst in pursuit of Jenny, Forest Gump becomes a spectacular man with great accomplishments and humble all the still.

What genre do you believe this film fits into? If nothing specific, choose a range.
Family classic coming under action, romance and comedy. It truly covers everything.

What, for you, were notable scenes from the film? Or costumes? Supporting characters?
When you finally see Forest on the shrimp boat at the end you almost get a sense of fulfilment yourself just because he is so satisfied with life, and finally happy.

What one character really stood out for you?
Jenny.

Did their role further the plot/story? How? If not, why did they still stand out to you?
Definitely although Forest was going through his own changes they were all due to the fact that jenny was also growing up. if anything you could say her journey is more significant than his. because without her growing and travelling Forest wouldn't be able to follow.

Was there anything notable about the hair and makeup? Costume and styling?
I would say diversity in styling is really amazing. they go through so many years. Jenny alone is a stripper, a hippy, a corporate lady. Thats a lot of different looks. yet through all her transformations Forest doesn't change all that much other than having facial hair or not. I think this is purposely to maybe represent the fact that he as a character has a personality so strong it can not be changed by years nor events that he has been in.

Would you watch it again?
Yes. but i do have to be in the right mood to do it.
