Forrest Gump

[School of Movies 2026]
The 1994 film that ate The Shawshank Redemption's lunch, dinner, supper, breakfast and second-breakfast at the Oscars. A deeply polarising melodrama recounting several decades of American Boomer history, showcasing cutting-edge face-mapping technology that looked unintentionally unsettling even then, and laying down confused messages along the way.
We attempt to read Gump fairly, consulting the direction the source book took, and taking into consideration Robert Zemekis' own views on the world, in particular focusing on the mostly-glimpsed journey of Forrest's running mate, Jenny.
