The big one. Annoyingly, Forrest Gump has become so ingrained in pop culture as a collection of specific moments or lines of dialogue that it’s easy to forget how good Hanks is in it. In truth, it is Hanks that rescues the movie from cloying, chocolate-box pastiche. Whenever Robert Zemeckis’s movie veers close into the trite, Hanks is there to pull it back, radiating melancholy, lightness and hope at various junctures.
