Review:

This made an excellent accompaniment to ironing my shirts; I managed to get through ten of them. 
Still found the film very enjoyable. Not quite sure what's it about and what it's trying to say. I know you'll 
answer it's not about anything, but why this re-writing of history from the sidelines? A great 
soundtrack, which was very self-consciously of the era, especially in the Vietnam sequence. Thought 
that Bubba dying was genuinely moving, and Mrs. Gump but Jenny less so, yet she garnered much 
more air time.
