I couldn't agree more. Everything about Forest Gump was wretched. It was so ridiculous I couldn't even sit through it, and left after the first hour.
“Everything about Forest Gump was wretched.”
Well, wretched is a strong word, but I know what you mean.
I never saw this movie until a long time later on TV, but it was just awful. It was like a series of short sketches tacked together, I couldn’t believe how much people liked it, nor that it had won best picture!
Another one was “Sideways”, that was an OK movie (much better than Forrest Gump), but best picture, really? A couple of good performances, yes, but...best picture? I don’t think so.
That’s funny. When I saw Forrest Gump it was the only movie that I had ever seen that I wished WOULDN’T end. Give it another try.
