The plot and characters exemplify the qualities each sign would enjoy. This article will be about the movies for Gemini.

Gemini

Gemini is the mutable air sign of the Zodiac, so movies for this sign should include clever dialogue, imagination, and numerous plot twists, with storylines tied to ensemble casts, international settings, and diverse characters. Mercury rules this sign and focuses on the joys of the mind, so movies about differing points of view and psychological development will appeal to people with this Sun sign.

Comedy

Death at a Funeral (2007)

Quick synopsis from IMDB: “Chaos ensues when a man tries to expose a dark secret regarding a recently deceased patriarch of a dysfunctional British family.” No culture does dysfunction quite so well as the British, able to play off the presumed need for constant and unassailable decorum that defines British high society.

The multiple characters, nicely defined, and oh-so funny, will be a treat for the Gemini viewer.

Drama

Forrest Gump (1994)

Quick synopsis from IMDB: “The presidencies of Kennedy and Johnson, the Vietnam War, the Watergate scandal and other historical events unfold from the perspective of an Alabama man with an IQ of 75, whose only desire is to be reunited with his childhood sweetheart.”

Starring Tom Hanks in his Oscar winning role as Forrest, along with Robin Wright and Gary Sinese, the movie is considered one of the touchstones for the various time periods the character lives through.
