Memorable supporting cast: Robin Wright Penn, Gary Sinise and Mykelti Williamson
Plot: A boy born in Greenbow, Alabama with a low IQ grows up on screen; through his first and only love Jenny. He walks through the stepping stones of the baby boom generation – from segregation, the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War plus the Kennedy – Johnson and Nixon administrations. This movie shows how he gets on through life and may awaken memories of your own.
Extra thoughts: The music of this movie is fantastic. Plus, the editing is great. There are lines in this movie that have been integrated in to modern culture and quoted often. If you haven’t seen it… see it.
