A Rebel Born

This is just about the worst movie, I have ever seen. No acting at all, the caracters just say their lines. An advice: Don't watch this movie, unless you can do it at no cost.

Do not even both with this trash. A high school media project would be more entertaining and a better production. Just 3 minutes into this is enough to show what a horrible production this is. Not a single positive thing I can say about this pile of garbage.

...but not deliberately The direction, script, production are all utterly abysmal but still far better than the acting. Some scenes even had the voice appearing to be dubbed over. One scene where Forrest was being recruited had the recruitment officer stumbling over his lines and seemingly reading them. Avoid like the plague. Even a school play has more merit than this.

Going through garbage to find receipt to try and get my money back,

A tempting topic that proposes to cover a notorious individual and a brutal portion of history. But at the first moment of dialogue the bubble of potential is brutally burst by a sequence of dreadfully wooden acting. You'd think that perhaps this is an attempt to ironically introduce Forrest's origin backstory as a sort of ridiculous made up fable. But this drivel is not in fact a clever device but the pinnacle of the directors ambition for the rest of the film! It's as if the actors are blind reading the script on a first take. The other discomfort is that it appears to be shot at a 30fps more common of TV format instead of the more romantic and usual 24/25fps used for film. Just watch it to learn how not to make a film. Believe me when I warn that it doesn't improve from the first minute in.
