To all of you guys who haven't seen this movie - go for it. Story, Acting, Camera & Music - it's a fantastic piece of work and true art. Probably the best character of Tom Hanks for all time. I first saw it when I was quite young, but it already made me think about life and tit's true calling. So without telling you anything from the story, you should know than it might make you cry. Although I love Action Movies I really enjoy this one without having any really interesting fight scenes (except the war in Vietnam. but that's not what this movie is about. It's simply a journey from a simple man's life to your own life...
