This movie is great! I think it ranks with one of Robert Zemeckis' best.

The Sun shines on an idiot messiah. The bus rolls on like History, its wheels squealing out the koan 'Stupid is as Stupid does'... Forrest's calipers inspire a King from Memphis. A feather falls. A feather blows away.

Run, Forrest! Run through History! You are America. Fuelled by Dr. Pepper, you are so misunderstood. Who killed the Kennedys? After all, it was you and me. You showed your bum to Lyndon B. Johnson. Did he misparaphrase you? Did he misparaphrase you there? You uncovered Watergate, not Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman. Run, Forrest! Run! Does Joanie love Chachi? Whitney Houston, we have a problem. Call Dr. King. Call Potsie. Call Ralph Malph.

You made Abbie Hoffman cry. Steal this box of chocolates! You'll never know what you will get. You rode a tank in generous rank, and inspired John Lennon's 'Imagine'. Imagine playing 'Chopsticks' on a massive foot-piano, Forrest - it's easy if you try. You are a lawful good paladin, but are you Big? Once more into the breach! Run! Run towards the German guns! You are AmeriKKKa. The bus rolls on. A feather falls. A feather blows away.
