'Gump:' Too much ado about <strong>to</strong>o little<br />

By Jol\n Miskelly<br />

Special Wnter<br />

"F<strong>or</strong>rest Gump" IS a film<br />

that can be compared <strong>to</strong> wmning<br />

a two-mmute shoppmg<br />

spree m the st<strong>or</strong>e of your<br />

choice; you get a little bit of<br />

everything<br />

Unf<strong>or</strong>tunately, that make,;<br />

the film difficult <strong>to</strong> hke J<br />

many layers of hist<strong>or</strong>y need <strong>to</strong><br />

be peeled away m <strong>or</strong>der <strong>to</strong> see<br />

suredly earn another Best Ac.<br />

t<strong>or</strong> Oscar nommatlOn) from<br />

birth through 1982 Most of the<br />

film is narrated by Gump while<br />

he sits awaitmg a bus<br />

The <strong>to</strong>ne IS set early and<br />

Field) runs a boardmg house<br />

and finds young F<strong>or</strong>rest m the<br />

room of one of her guests. The<br />

guest wants F<strong>or</strong>rest <strong>to</strong> contmue<br />

hiS hip.swmgIng whIle he plays<br />

,his guitar Sh<strong>or</strong>tly thereafter<br />

the infamous ElVIS appears on<br />

the screen doing the same<br />

moves F<strong>or</strong>rest did earlier. This<br />

scene is so absurd it makes<br />

everything else easIer <strong>to</strong> take<br />

And there IS quite a bit <strong>to</strong><br />

swallow<br />

The film is baSically a love<br />

st<strong>or</strong>y between Jenny
