Remembering ‘Forrest Gump’ for its 25th anniversary

The film is centered around the slow-witted yet lovable character of Forrest Gump, played by the incredible Tom Hanks. He depicts several details and different years throughout his life until he finds himself right in the middle of some of the nation’s greatest historical events. From meeting President John F. Kennedy right in the White House to enlisting/serving in the U.S. Army, he is part of some pretty amazing stuff.

He even endorses a company that makes ping pong paddles and wins big, creates Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, and becomes a millionaire after Dan invests into Apple Computers. This movie has a little something quirky for everyone; including a love interest!
