I never understood why this film is held in such high regard, it really never did anything for me or resonated with me. Plus the fact that this film won best picture over The Shawshank Redemption or Pulp Fiction is insane. The Shawshank Redemption should’ve swept every single award that night, but unfortunately it wasn’t as popular at the time

I like a show about a meat ball shake and box of fries, so who am I to judge
Respectfully disagree.
Fully agree. The book was also mid .
My unpopular opinion is that I don’t get why Pulp Fiction is so lauded. It’s good, I just don’t get why it’s up there as “one of the best”. Tarantino has made way better films.
You’re right this is an unpopular opinion
It probably was doing something that was clever at the time it came out.
I never understood why some movies of Tom Hanks is held in high regard
Nostalgia
I see Shawshank and Forrest as 2 of the most overrated movies, and Pulp Fiction as one of the best. Opinions eh…
It’s kinda like We Didn’t Start The Fire by Billy Joel made into a movie. It’s just a lot of historic shit that Forrest goes through. Not knowing or indifference to the previous decades might ruin the experience. Or you just might not like Forrest if the historic stuff is okay for you.

Pretty hard to beat this kind of ivy league analysis
I hate forest gump so much it’s insane
Is it still highly regarded though?
I’m under the impression that these it’s considered to be somewhat “problematic” and a sentimental nostalgia bait film. Plus also that people think it wasn’t a worthy Best Picture winner.
I’d have Pulp Fiction as the best of the 3 but Forest Gump is next. They’re all great.
Is this what we do now, we experience an awesome piece of art and then wait 30 years and then shit on it?
Agreed I hate it
I love all of them. But you’re right that either Shawshank Redemption or Pulp Fiction deserved best picture
I think it just scratches the “Oh Mer GERd thats ScheeGor from Blingietoon” itch for people who don’t like marvel movies.
