"Forrest Gump" by Yojimbo

Possibly the most over-rated film in movie history, and how you can get a best actor Oscar f o r t a l k i n g v e r y s l o w l y and staring blankly is beyond me. It's nothing more than a 2 hour long Hallmark moment; the history is revisionist, and it's designed purely to make Americans get all dewy-eyed over Old Glory through cynical and manipulative button pushing. For me there's no difference between this and that absurd speech Bill Pullman makes in Independence Day. If it weren't for Gary Sinise, it'd be a total waste of time.
