Cinema Cemetery: Episode 67- Forest Gump (1994)

“Mama always said life was like a box of chocolates.  You never know what you’re gonna get”. With this classic line, we meet Forest Gump, the man who “truly” wrote the second half of the 20th century and influenced many of the great movers and shakers along the way.  From his humble beginnings living with his single mother in boarding house to serving in Vietnam, to meeting the President (x3) to starting the jogging craze, Forest shows the power of persistence, and positivity, even when told he “can’t sit here”.  Is Forest still worth “running” to see?  Find out this week on Cinema Cemetery.
