Favourite Line

I really love the line 'Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're gonna get.' said by Tom Hanks' character Forrest Gump in the film of the same title. The simplicity gives the scene a mellow feeling, despite the powerful message. Throughtout the whole scene, the camera is zooming in on Tom Hanks, just before he has a flash back. The extreme close-up is used to focus on the character while he remembers a memory.

Writing about this and watching this clip has made me want to watch Forrest Gump again, so that's how I'll be spending my Saturday night.. Brilliant.
