I know how you feel. Everyone in my family loves Forrest Gump. They insist on watching it every Thanksgiving. I'm not bothered that they like it, but they always try to convince me that I should like it too.OmniscientOstrich said:Forrest Gump. It's schmaltzy, contrived, pretentious, platitudinous Oscar bait that panders to American self-importance. As for others liking it? I don't give a shit. Subjectivity is subjective.
My disdain for Forrest Gump isn't helped by the fact that it won Best Picture the same year that Pulp Fiction and the Shawshank Redemption were nominated.
