FORREST GUMP

Forrest Gump is an american  epic romantic comedy-drama film based on the 1986 novel of the same name by Winston Groom. The film was directed by Robert Zemeckis and starred Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Gary Sinise and Sally Field. 
The story depicts several decades in the life of Forrest Gump, a naïve and slow-witted yet athletically prodigious native of Alabama who witnesses, and in some cases influences, some of the defining events between 1944 and 1982 (Forrest's birth) in the United States; more specifically.

While waiting at a bus stop, Forrest Gump begins telling the story of his life to strangers sitting near him on the bench. His story begins with the leg braces he had to wear when he was a child, which resulted in his being bullied by other children. He lives with his mother, and one day he meets Jenny, with whom he immediately falls in love, and they become best friends. One day, while fleeing from some bullies, Forrest's leg braces break apart and fall away and he discovers that he can run very fast which, despite his below-average intelligence, earns him a scholarship to the University of Alabama from Bear Bryant. While in college, he witnesses George Wallace's Stand in the Schoolhouse Door, is named an All-American football player, and meets President John F. Kennedy.
 After graduating, Forrest enlists in the United States Army, where he befriends Benjamin Buford "Bubba" Blue, and they agree to go into the shrimping business together. Later, he discovers an aptitude for ping pong and begins playing for the U.S. Army team. 
Forrest is discharged from the military and uses money from a ping pong endorsement to buy a shrimping boat, fulfilling his wartime promise to Bubba, and names it "Jenny". Dan keeps his own promise and joins Forrest as first mate. They initially have little luck, but after Hurricane Carmen destroys every other shrimping boat in the region, the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company becomes a huge success due to the elimination of competition. 
Jenny returns to visit Forrest and stays with him. He proposes but she turns him down. They make love, but she quietly slips away the next morning...
