Forest?

Feather Theme. Forest Gump. Tom Hanks. Alan Silvestri. This is talking about jaw-dropping amazing music which goes straight to the heart. And the only person I know who has snubbed this movie can go and take a hike to put it very politely. But then this only person really would be the only one to do just that, since he thinks he's so high and mighty and will choose a war movie over this. What a shameless man to say so, what a complete shame. Sophistries Feather Theme is what kept me going through the darkest of days because such a simple tune evokes so much hope. Each note is strategically placed to go hit the high notes of a human's heart. Don't even ask me, I don't want to hear about it. Because the man who shakes his big head and purses his lips at Forest is no man at all. And there are no misunderstandings, how could someone like Forest Gump fail to move you? Well, it could, if you're some statue made out of concrete, not even a marble statue, because probably even marble could be moved. But now it's so clear. He doesn't like Forest. He probably doesn't even like me very much. But I like Forest, and I probably don't like him very much either. So it seems the score is evened, if I can call it a score. Every man should have a heart, macho here flies out the door, I'm just interested. I could remind the haughty man who laughed at Forest, that Silvestri is also the composer of the widely-acclaimed Polar Express. But I'm not sure he would love that either because that's for kids, or is it? I have no place in my life for such men (hopefully they're not too many), because men who are not moved by such touching and heartfelt scores are... robots. And I like the real thing. Thank God for my man who is also touched by Forest and together with the music he brings along with him. Because it's through things like this that one can really see their intrinsic loveable side. And I like loveable.
