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.

...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.

That's really all you need to know about the historical accuracy. Worst thing I have ever seen.

Dear god...

Hopefully I can spare any other people the dull headache this "movie" is. Wooden acting, inappropriate music choices, dialogue so unnatural George Lucas would object.

This project didn't even hit the basics of camera work: the operator kept auto exposure on, leaving faces underexposed because of a bright spot in the frame. He often didn't bother to use critical focus, resulting in an actor's eyes appearing blurry while his ear remained crystal clear. It earned a single star because at least some of the time whoever was in charge of sound design at least used the correct mic and you could mostly hear the actors. Mostly.

This dreck could have been an examination of Forrest's astonishing rise from private to general and his revolutionary cavalry tactics, or his heinous role in the Fort Pillow Massacre, or his leadership in the early Klan, or even his puzzling turn toward peace between black and white. No. Instead we get a cure for insomnia.

Avoid at all costs. In the immortal words of Mad Magazine, "Blecch."

This is the worst film I have seen. I don't know where to start. Everyone and everything were awful. Was this meant to be a comedy? I really don't quite know.
