Forrest, Forrest Gump
LL and I, who’s party I went to a few weeks ago after a long time no see, went to see Forrest Gump at the cinema last night. It’s one of my favourite films and I’d never seen it on a big screen, so when I saw it advertised I just had to go. I bought a box of chocolates to take with us in honour of Mrs Gump’s most famous saying. And it’s true, in the dark of the cinema you really never know what you’re gonna get. Why do I always manage to pick a truffle?
It was wonderful to watch as always. I cried at all the usual bits, and afterwards felt utterly emotionally drained. I’m still feeling chilled out now. It’s such a lovely movie, so tender, so heartbreaking and hopeful, and so well cast and executed. I really don’t think it could have been made any better.
