I fell asleep about 10 mins into the movie and napped right through it as I did most movies in that time period!

He was dressed like him and sat in a folding chair in front of the congregation and held a box of chocolates. He did the whole thing in character, accent and all, without notes of any kind. It was riveting.

And Forrest Gump was certainly that way. He never railed against the unfairness of life or judged people harshly for the circumstances of their existence.
