I do like Tom hanks. I liked his Forrest Gump the most . His acting wa simply superb and really did deserve an academy. He has a habit of giving the viewers his best. His other movies that inspired me are Cast Away, Philedelphia and also Saving Private Ryan.

of course i like him
A small-minded, wiity but genteel person. That's how you describe Forrest Gump.

Its setting is so endearing in the sense that it is no common nor uncommon one, but it is a poular one (of course who wouldn't know America?). To comment,let me state the plus points of the movie: setting, story, torrent of events and lastly, the message.

Setting:
If you were to contest the setting, well then you cannot make it! A simple man going through a simple 30-year history of a superpower, of course, it shows that the movie is fairly simple in its views. An average person like me can carry the issues and concerns brought about by the movie with this simplicity. Also, the twists in the setting which has initialy involved him and has him on the centerstage changing that history is somewhat wiity and funny, but of course, sensible and just.

Story:
When you profile the life of a man, you just don't go through his life and leave out what's happening around him. In that case, FOERREST GUMP has brought Hanks into the limelight. The movie has done its character in such a way that the story wouldn't be there if he is not there (in most cases and in most movies). If you are not getting what I'm saying, then let's put it this way. The story focuses on one man, and that man is very instrumental in changing the history around him. Thjat's the story...and the whole thing.

Torrent of Events:
The events fairly ran smoothly and in order in such a way that the movie follows how Gump grows through time.

Message:
Simple but ocean deep. Man has his own box of chocolates. Whatever he will get, he has to face the consequence or the sweet taste of victory.

Overall, I do say that Forrest Gump really has the edge to make it to the top spot of my most favorite movies. Its wit and message has truly captivated my heart and left me reaching for a box of chocolates.

Yes I like his cast away
What happens when your life is robbed of your existence in society, your personal belongings, your most cherished things, and torn away from the person you love most?
In this beautifully depicted film, we see the adventure of Chuck Noland (Tom Hanks), a work-aholic Fed-Ex supervisor whom is always traveling and can't even spend Christmas with his dearly loved fiancee (Helen Hunt). He gives her a present and promises her that he'll be right back. But he doesn't get to keep that promise.
In the middle of a flight across the Pacific, the freighter plane attempts to avoid a storm when it is blown off-course and crashes in the ocean next to an uncharted island. There, his fight to survive begins. He lives off coconuts for a while and sets in for a week expecting to be rescued. He starts to try to feed off of crabs but needs to learn to make fire. After 2 days of trial and error, he makes his first flame and has made his first discovery. He then attempts to escape the island on his rubber raft, but he fails as the giant surf flips him over and he severely injures his leg.
Now he is struggling to survive physically and mentally and along the way befriends a volley-ball that he names "Wilson." We see some disturbing images of him knocking out a rotting tooth and slicing his hand open.
Four years later, he has fully adapted to the island, he is an expert at spearing fish and knowing what month it is. He then finishes his master plan and builds a giant raft and escapes the island with a package that kept his hope to be alive.
The movie has brilliant acting by Tom Hanks and exactly matching Robert Zemeckis' direction. The visuals are beautiful along the ocean and on the island. Tom Hanks should've won Best Actor for this film or Best Picture. The only movie that truely rivaled this movie in 2000 was Gladiator.
My advise is that you spend your money on buying this wonderful DVD.
A+ Oscar Worthy

I enjoyed Cast Away as well; the things he went through on that island was something; I cannot even imagine how that could be but what he went through and the things he went through and lost, incredible. I should have mentioned this movie in another post, but I'm sorry, he has soo many roles that he take and perfect. Another thing, he seems to do great under Zemeckis' direction. a good combination.

I adore him, and not just for his acting talent. His dedication to America's veterans and the memory of our fallen soldiers really has my admiration. He seems like a gsnuinely good man/
