The most classic sentence is "Life is like a box of chocolates" . You never know what you're gonna get "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get."

For you~ Supplement: Take a look at the wonderful comments about this movie. Comments by famous experts It can be said that "Forrest Gump" is an authoritative American movie. -BBC It’s incredible. ——"Chicago Sun-Times" Like the best actors, Hanks is a super reactor. ——TIME Magazine I think Forrest Gump in the story is simply a typical American. His growth process is exactly what we have experienced. He allows us to clearly review the past history. He was a good man who could make people cry and make them laugh. ——Hollywood producer Wendy Fellerman In this film, I wanted Forrest Gump to appear on the screen as a simple-minded, innocent, and lack of opinion. I looked at all the characters in the film. Doing is a symbol of the humanity of the American people. In my opinion, the uniqueness of this film is that it reaffirms the old moral and social subject culture, promotes the mainstream ideology of the United States in the 1960s, and at the same time denies other avant-garde new cultures. I think it is precisely based on this that it can win the hearts of the American people. ——The director of this film, Robert Zemeckis, "Forrest Gump" made us familiar with two people: Forrest Gump and Tom Hanks. This film is adapted from Winston Glum's political satire novel of the same name, but the overall style of the film seems more like a life fable. In the film, although Forrest Gump's IQ is not high, his body is... With virtues such as honesty, trustworthiness, courage, and sincerity that this society has been far away from for a long time, at the beginning of the film, we may be amused by Forrest Gump's dullness. In front of him, we are full of superiority, but at the end of the film, we are We had to be moved by his sincerity, and we suddenly discovered that Forrest Gump's experience represents the age of innocence for each of us, but we are already burdened with too much prejudice and vanity. —— Lei Feng corrected the wonderful film review ▲ "Idiot" Forrest In the film, Forrest Gump, who has a southern American accent and is mentally retarded, stares at the wild Jenny, as if he is in the same breath as the famous American novelist Faulkner's "The Sound and the Fury" "The idiot Benjy is a distant relative. But there is obviously a fundamental difference between the two: Benji is just a symbol of family decline and a real imbecile; while Forrest Gump, the "idiot", represents almost all the virtues missing in this era: honesty and trustworthiness, seriousness in work, courage Being fearless and valuing love over money, on the other hand, possessing these virtues becomes stupidity. This is really a great irony of some of today's social conditions. And Jenny, whom Forrest Gump loved so much, is a symbol of depravity. She contracted almost all bad habits, such as drug abuse, sexual liberation, etc. In the end, she died of a virus-actually alluding to HIV. But Forrest Gump loves her consistently regardless of everything. While the film constitutes a "specious" reproach to him, it also reflects his innocence and kindness. Forrest Gump is like a warrior, using his seemingly simple but actually simpler mind, special talents, and powerful physique as weapons, he has won survival and development again and again. This is a hope for God to reward kindness. At the same time, it also contains a tone: move forward and run. Some people say that running like this will bring hope to people. The fact that hope does exist, and that this unique film has won over such a large audience, attracting even those who just prefer light entertainment, speaks to the power of hope itself and its power. The creation of the image of Forrest Gump subverts the image of heroes in the normal world, runs counter to traditional concepts, and is strongly anti-traditional and anti-mainstream.

Forrest Gump's experience dwarfs many "smart people". I think the director wants to use the image of Forrest Gump to satirize society and reflect the current social situation, such as the exposure of human alienation and depravity, so as to arouse people's understanding of society and people. Concerns about fate and future. What’s interesting is that there is always a group of followers behind Forrest Gump. They can’t find the answer to life and follow Forrest Gump blindly. It can be said that this is the reality of American society at that time. People are disappointed with reality and cannot find survival. Without motivation and meaning, we have to hopelessly pin our fate on others. But Forrest Gump can always face reality with an optimistic attitude and run bravely. This can not but be said to be a wonderful irony. For such a distinctive character that is rarely seen in Hollywood movies in recent years, Forrest Gump will undoubtedly be recorded in history. In the United States, Forrest Gump is the embodiment of the generation born in the 1950s and 1960s after the war. In their experience, the Ku Klux Klan , rock, the Vietnam War, Kennedy, Nixon, etc. have appeared on the stage one after another. In the chaos of peace, they have grown up, reconstructed their morals, and expressed their personalities, making their life paths full of variables. They seem to lack tempering, and their steps are so hobbling that people I was worried, but they had grown up after all, and their running speed was beyond the expectations of their parents. In the novel "Forrest Gump", it ends like this: "But, let me tell you, friend: sometimes at night, I look up at the stars and see the whole sky just spread out there. Don't think that I I don’t remember anything. I still have dreams like everyone else, and occasionally I think about what life would be like in a different situation. Then, in the blink of an eye, I am already forty, fifty, or sixty years old, you know? ” I believe that even after seeing this, everyone’s inner confusion will not diminish at all, but at the same time, we will also have a sense of detachment, just like when we look up at the stars, we feel a natural harmony and great power. Although some questions still have no answers, they have become less important. Time always flows ruthlessly, and it urges us not to waste time by thinking too much.

He is honest, trustworthy, conscientious, brave and values ??feelings. He only knows how to give to people without asking for anything in return, and he never minds rejection by others. He just faces life openly and openly. He concentrated his only wisdom, faith, and courage on one point. He ignored everything and only knew how to keep running on the road based on his intuition. He ran through the discrimination of his childhood classmates, ran across the university football field, He ran through the quagmire of the Vietnam War with heavy artillery fire, ran through the battlefield of Ping Pong diplomacy, ran all over the United States, and finally reached his finish line.
