You are the first person I have ever seen who dislikes Forrest Gump. That movie is one of my all time favorites.

The character, the mother and the hype around it just grate on me.

At the time they hailed it as a huge breakthrough in film making. If I were Steve Martin and Carl Reiner I would have been greatly offended. Their movie was soooo much better.

I cannot watch Forrest Gump, because it makes me cry. The first time I saw it in a movie theater with my children and a friend of my son. They were about 10, an age at which I could not even believe they sat WITH me in the theater much less in the same city. I suppose I was the only one with cash for popcorn? I wept through most of it, could not really understand why it moved me that way. Fortunately the kids were not mortified, and kept sitting by me, seemed to be concerned as to my mental health. I suppose we learned alot about each other that day.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!
