This is my first time watching the movie, even though I've known it all my life. It was the first time I decided to see it through my own lens. The cinematography and colors truly convey what it's like to live in the world inside Forrest's mind. He is not just the narrator but also the "creative director" and the very landscape the film portrays.

However, I feel it has aged and remained in the past. I couldn't help but constantly think about all the contemporary issues involved in Jenny's reality. I couldn't even believe her words as the story came to an end. Right there at the end, I felt that she no longer belonged to that destiny - Forrest's destiny.

This review is biased, but that's my conclusion. As a young adult of the 21st century, I notice the gender disparity - even though it might have been acceptable in the imagined setting of the 1970s - and realized that relying on others was a privilege only experienced by men.
