While I don't appreciate the deliberate heart string pulling

Forrest Gump is a good movie. I hate movies that make me cringe, this one doesn't. It is a carefully crafted collection of ups and downs designed at the end to make me feel more happy than sad. I do wish there could be more movies that end on the proper inflection. Sad is more likely than happy, and reality is a drug best served on it's own.
Grumpy? not really, just watching another of those convincing movies...
