Trending

Directed by Robert Zemeckis, this comedy-drama is based on a book by Winston Groom. While the movie was a critical and commercial success, even winning Best Picture at the Oscars, the lovable character of Forrest Gump and his journey through major periods of American history were a lot less adorable in the book. Tom Hanks converted the quirky character into an adored misfit, but the book had questionable racism and weird subplots.
