Forrest Gump (1994)
Movies are like a box of chocolate: you never know what you're gonna get
Forrest Gump," despite its immense popularity, is a film that falls short of its acclaim. While the movie's intention may have been to deliver a heartwarming story about an ordinary man's extraordinary journey, it ultimately suffers from a lack of depth and a reliance on sentimentalism. The character of Forrest Gump, portrayed by Tom Hanks, is portrayed as a simple-minded individual who happens to stumble into numerous historic events, which is an implausible and contrived concept. Moreover, the film's portrayal of historical figures and events feels forced and superficial, reducing them to mere props in Forrest's story rather than exploring their significance in a meaningful way. Furthermore, the movie's attempts to tackle complex social and political issues, such as racism and war, feel shallow and oversimplified, reducing them to mere plot devices rather than engaging in a nuanced exploration. Overall, "Forrest Gump" may have its moments of charm, but it ultimately fails to deliver a thought-provoking and substantive cinematic experience.

"we really did have everything, didn't we?!"
I know that some people will hate this film and some people will really love it because it is not for everyone. But talking from my own experience, I have learned 5 lessons from this film:
First of all, never and ever trust rich people since they only care about how can they become richer and powerful even if it demands to risk the hole planet.
Second lesson was that family is everything after all. You can work and become the most famous one and have everything but you will return in the end to your family so protect it with all your power.
Third lesson is: don't wait the end of the world to tell your beloved people that you love them and don't wait the end of the world to say sorry for someone who truly loved you and you have hurt him.
"we really did have everything": as a lebanese citizen, if anyone of us really looked on himself nowadays with the economic crisis happening in Lebanon he can say that we really did have everything but we didn't appreciate it and we didn't notice it so we should be grateful every day and live day by day since we don't know when we are gonna die and we don't know if tomorrow will gonna be worst or better than today.
Last lesson is that Leonardo DiCaprio is a great actor and he should do at least 5 movies every year.
The Little Things (2021)
What a strangest film
It caught me till the last minute to know what will happen and who is the killer but it surprised me because it ends and we didn't know who kill these girls. I think Rami Malek was lost I think because of the scenario and Denzel Washington wasn't like Denzel also, Jared was the best. To end it is a good movie not special or perfect and not bad you can watch it till the end.
