I watched the movie for the first time in my life last year on a plane. I actually loved it. A bit too long but otherwise good. Just different preferences I guess.

Framing all the terrible events of a boomer’s life in a sweet way. Yeah, I can see it.

The best country songs are the nostalgic ones about shrimping and aids.

If one were alive during the things that Forrest Gump experiences during the movie. Then seeing those things in a movie with Tom Hanks could cause feelings of nostalgia.

Forrest Gump is for Boomers what Ready Player One was for Gen X. And I’m sure they’ll be something for Millennials soon. Just Nostalgia for the sake of Nostalgia barely laced together with a plot.

I guess it just means I’m not a big nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake guy because I’m Gen X and I didn’t like Ready Player One either. The book was marginal and the movie was awful. I’m not sure why I even watched the movie after reading the book. I guess mostly because of The Shining part, which, meh.
