Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/25 Full Review Jorge V Una de las mejores películas que e visto Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/25 Full Review Rami A Robert Zemeckis, director of the "Back to the Future" trilogy and "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" is one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen. Tom Hanks as Forrest Grump makes us believe that there are genuinely good people out there in this cruel and harsh world. Mrs. Grump often tells Forrest, "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you'll get," a sentiment that resonates not only with Forrest but also with the audience watching the movie.
