? A. Film story (synopsis) 简介
The story follows the life of low I.Q. Forrest Gump and his meeting with the love of his life Jenny. Forrest Gump is a simple man with little brain activity but good intentions. He struggles through childhood with his best and only friend Jenny. His 'mama' teaches him the ways of life and leaves him to choose his destiny. Forrest joins the army for service in Vietnam, finding new friends called Dan and Bubba, he wins medals, starts a table tennis craze, creates a famous shrimp fishing fleet, inspires people to jog, create the smiley, write bumper stickers and songs, donating to people and meeting the president several times. However this is all irrelevant to Forrest who can only think of his childhood sweetheart Jenny. Who has messed up her life. The film chronicles his accidental experiences with some of the most important people and events in America from the late 1950's through the 1970's
including a meeting with Elvis Presley, JFK, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, fighting in Vietnam, etc. The problem is, he's too stupid to realize the significance of his actions. Forrest becomes representative of the baby boomer generation having walked through life blindly

My comments:1. Forrest Gump is possibly one the greatest movies of all-time. Like many people, I have seen it many times. Like many others, the famous quotes from the movie are installed in my brain. Like many others, I deem this as one of my favorites movies ever. Why is it so good? Many good reasons. One for sure is the natural entity of Forrest. He may seem a dumb guy who can't think 'logically' but he has a good heart. He has a good intentions and people recognize that. People love to see someone who has an ability to look by all the bad events which happen in the life. Forrest brings that kind of peace and aplomb which people need in their life. People need to have hope. And Forrest shows that if there's an attitude, there is always hope for good things. Good things happen to good people.
2. The life of Forrest Gump is fascinating. He did things that made people love him. Not to express sympathy for him, but truly look up to him. It is a story of a lifetime. A story that moves anybody who believe in good things. A compelling, touchy and emotional movie. Forrest says that life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you gonna get. Pick a candy. It's probably delicious
? B. Further reading on the film
? HOPE
In this film,I have to say,”Forrest Gump is a lucky dog.”Because although all of his action are unconscious and lack of thinking opinion, everytime he can get a goog result—a footballstar,a war hero,a richer…why?Out of question,it’s hope,and that is one of many issues which this film want to tell us.
? Inside Forrest’s heart,hope is equal to running and the box of chocolate─you never know what you’are gonna get.
? ???? When the first time Jenny asked Forrest to run away and the first time Forrest
freed himself from the bondage,hope had been growing up in his mind.And later,the death of his mother and the Jenny’s disappearance once again disappointed him.For searching his hope back,he began to run and the running lasted three years.At this momen,I think,he has already tooken running for his hope.Like his words,”I just felt like running.”
? ???? And what is the Jenny’s hope?In fact,the beginning of the film has already told us—she prayed that she can turn to a bird,flying higher and higher.But at last ,she lost herself.
? ???? I think this is a clever point in the film,— the hopes are good for our life or bad for our life.
? ???? The answer to this question I still look for…
? DESTINY??
To face destiny,this film has three kinds figure represent three attitudes.Forrest’s mother represent believer, Captain Dan represent suspicious men,Jenny represent rebel.
?????? Forrest’s mother in bed told Forrest:”It’s something we’re all destined to do.I didn’t know,but I was destined to be your momma.I did the best I could.”And Captain Dan at the beginning believed his destiny strongly,but after many things he started to doubt his destiny.In rainstorm,he roared:”Where the hell’s this God of yours?” He didn’t believe God any longer.His action showed that this kind of men are in a puzzle ─Does the destiny exist on earth???
? Jenny,as a rebel,has been rebeling her ordinary living all the time—turning on the cover of <Play Boy> ,singing in the bar…She symbolises the rising generation in this American period.They rebeled this society and the destiny forced by tradition.But,this rebel tired in the end,and she choosed died calmly in Forrest’s arms.
? ????? Forrest,who watches from outside,tolds us the film’s issue:
? “I don’t know if we each have a destiny,or if we’re all just floating around accidental-like on a breeze,but I think maybe it’s both.Maybe both is happening at the same time.I miss you,Jenny.If there’s anything you need,I won’t be far away. “
? Maybe destiny is like that feather,which has no concrete direction ,and the ordinary experience tired us.However,any turning is controlled by themselves freely,there’s one thing you must do─do you dest.
? LOVE
? ”I’m not a smart man,but I know what love is.”
? Love is film’s eternal theme .We give our tears and laughter generously.The love in this film is a process which a man with low IQ speaks out “love”.
? I think that Forrest doesn’t only say to Jenny,but also say to his mother and Buba.Because the love realized by Forrest includes many things,not only heart. ? The death of his mother and many times Jenny’s disappearance let Forrest know what love is .
? In fact,no matter whether Jenny love Forrest, Forrest gets love and we get love from this film.
? In the end,I think of a poem:
? Do not undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.
? It is because we are different that each of us is special.
? Do not give up when you still have something to give.
? Nothing is really over??? until the moment you stop trying.
? It is a fragile thread that binds us to each other.
? Do not shut love out of your life by saying it is impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give love;
The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly.
? Do not dismiss your dreams.
To be without dreams is to be without hope;
To be without hope is to be without purpose.
? Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.。
