Forrest Gump
So I think this is one of the most intriguing ideas for a movie of all time. It is a classic, after all. It is really a movie about history, with some comical historical aspects to it, however, it is all seen through a person who is mentally retarded. It has Forrest who is mentally retarded. He meets a girl named Jenny who is sexually abused by her father. He goes to school with kids who are not mentally retarded because his mom sleeps with the principal. He only goes to college because he's good at football. He fights in WWII, and becomes a war hero. The movie mocks and reflects so many different aspects of different americans' lives, that it is really a worthwhile movie to watch. It also has comical scenes of Forrest telling the President he has to go to the bathroom, or him meeting Jenny in the reflecting pool by the washington monument in Washington D.C. Although it was about the twentieth time I have seen the movie in my life, I think it is one that is worth seeing for its individualistic characteristics.
