Forrest Gump has been voted the greatest film character of all time in a new survey, which was carried out by ABC TV and People magazine. Tom Hanks portrayed the character which was voted the greatest, out of the million films made in Hollywood. Forrest Gump beat James Bond and Scarlett O’Hara to claim the tittle of greatest ever. While James Bond was rated the second best, Scarlett O'Hara came third.
The movie was based on the 1986 novel written by American author Winston Groom. Critically acclaimed for his performance, Hanks was bestowed the Oscar for Best Actor. The movie was released in 1994, and was a Box-Office hit which earned more than 500 million pounds.
The film was also known for many of Gump’s phrases, such as ‘My momma always said, Life was like a box of chocolates, You never know what you’re gonna get.”The film was no less than a roller-coaster ride, where you followed Gump from his Childhood to Adulthood, and viewed the pivotal events of 1960's and 1970's from his point of view.
