In the sky, a feather fluttered in the wind, floated over the treetops and flew to the sky ... Finally, it landed at the foot of forrest gump, sitting on a bench in Alabama, telling the story of his life endlessly-
Forrest Gump was born shortly after the end of World War II. I.Q. is only 75, but his mother is a strong-willed woman. She wants her son to live like other normal people. She often encourages Forrest Gump to "be a fool with a blessing" and ask him to constantly strive for self-improvement. And God did not abandon Forrest Gump. He not only gave Forrest Gump a pair of "flying legs" that act like flying, but also gave him a simple and upright mind without any evil thoughts. At school, Forrest Gump met Jenny, a blonde girl. Since then, Forrest Gump has been running all his life with the love of his mother and Jenny.
In middle school, Forrest Gump ran into the football field of a school to avoid being chased by his classmates, so he ran into the university. In college, he was admitted to the university, became a football superstar and was received by President Kennedy.
After graduating from college, Forrest Gump enlisted in the Vietnam War at the instigation of a recruit. In a battle, his unit was ambushed. With a retreat order, Forrest Gump remembered Jenny's instructions and ran away. His scud saved his life. In the Vietnam War, Forrest Gump made two good friends: Buba, who was keen on catching shrimp, and the awesome Captain Deng Taylor.
After the war, Forrest Gump was received by President Johnson as a hero. At a peaceful assembly, Forrest Gump met Jenny again, and Jenny had fallen and lived a dissolute life. Forrest Gump has always loved Jenny, but Jenny doesn't love him. The two met in a hurry and parted in a hurry.
As an emissary of ping-pong diplomacy, Forrest Gump also participated in a ping-pong competition in China and made contributions to the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States. Under the guidance of the creed of "keep your word", Forrest Gump finally broke into a sky of his own. He taught Elvis Presley to dance; Help John Lennon write songs; In the surging civil rights movement, he disintegrated a large-scale ethnic conflict that was on the verge of exploding; He even unwittingly forced the thieves who sneaked into the Watergate building to fall into the law, which eventually led to the collapse of President Nixon.
Because "fools are blessed", Forrest Gump made a fortune by mistake and became a billionaire. Forrest Gump didn't want to be tired of fame and fortune, so he became a gardener. Forrest Gump often misses Jenny, and Jenny has already gone astray and fallen into despair. Finally, one day, Jenny came back. She lived with Forrest Gump for a period of time. One night, Jenny fell into Forrest Gump's arms and then quietly left at dawn. Three years later, Forrest Gump saw Jenny again, and there was a little boy, his son. At this time, Jenny had an incurable disease. Forrest Gump returned to his hometown with Jenny and his son and had a happy time.
Jenny passed away and their son was old enough to go to school. One day, Forrest Gump sent his son to the school bus. At this time, a feather fell from his son's book, and a gust of wind blew, and it began to dance in the wind again.

I think Forrest Gump in the story is simply a typical American, and his growth process is exactly what we have experienced. He makes us clearly look back on the past history. He is a good man, who can make people cry and laugh.
-Wendy Ferlemann, a Hollywood producer
In this film, I want Forrest Gump to appear on the screen as a simple-minded, innocent character who lacks independent opinions. I regard each character in the film as a symbol of the humanization of American people.
In my opinion, this film is unique in that it reaffirms the old moral and social culture, promotes the mainstream ideology of the United States in the 196s, and at the same time denies other avant-garde new cultures. I think it is based on this that it can win the hearts of the American people.
-The film director Robert Zemekis
Forrest Gump introduced us to two people: Forrest Gump and Tom Hanks. This film is adapted from Winston Glum's political satire of the same name, but the overall style of the film seems to be more like a fable of life. In the film, Forrest Gump's IQ is not high, but he has the virtues of honesty, trustworthiness, courage and sincerity that the society has been far away for a long time. At the beginning of the film, we may be amused by Forrest Gump's stupidity. In front of him, we are full of superiority, but at the end of the film, we have to be impressed by him.

Wonderful film review
▲ "Fool" Forrest Gump
In the film, Forrest Gump, with an American southern accent and mental retardation, stares at Jenny who is full of wildness, as if he were a distant relative to Benji, the fool in Faulkner's masterpiece The Sound and the Fury. But there is obviously a fundamental difference between the two: Bangui is just a symbol of the decline of a family and a real imbecile; Forrest Gump, on the other hand, represents almost all the virtues that are lacking in this era: honesty and trustworthiness, earnest work, courage and fearlessness, and valuing love over money. On the other hand, having these virtues makes you stupid, which is really a great irony to some social situations today.
Jenny, whom Forrest Gump loved, is a symbol of depravity. She contracted almost all bad habits, such as drug abuse and sexual liberation, and finally she died of a virus-in fact, it was alluded to HIV. Forrest Gump, on the other hand, loves her regardless of everything. The film not only makes a specious accusation to him, but also shows his innocence and kindness.
Forrest Gump, like a soldier, has won survival and development time and time again with his seemingly simple mind, special talents and strong physique as weapons. This is a kind of hope to reward goodness to God, and at the same time, it contains a keynote: forward and run. Some people say that running like this will bring hope. In fact, hope does exist. This unique film has won so many audiences and attracted even those who only like light entertainment films, which shows the hope itself and the power of hope.
The image of Forrest Gump subverts the hero image in the normal world, which runs counter to the traditional concept and has a strong anti-tradition and anti-mainstream. Forrest Gump's experience dwarfs many "smart people". I think the director just wants to satirize the society and reflect the social status quo through the image of Forrest Gump, such as exposing people's alienation and depravity? In order to arouse people's attention to society and people's destiny and future. Interestingly, there are always a group of followers behind Forrest Gump. They can't find the answer to life and blindly follow Forrest Gump. It can be said that this is a reality of American society at that time. People are disappointed with reality and can't find the motivation and significance of survival, so they have to pin their fate on others hopelessly. Forrest Gump, on the other hand, can always face the reality with optimism and run bravely, which is a wonderful irony.
Forrest Gump will undoubtedly go down in history as such a distinctive figure in Hollywood movies in recent years. In the United States, Forrest Gump is the embodiment of this generation born in the 195s and 196s after the war. In their experiences, the Klan Party, rock and roll, Vietnam War, Kennedy, Nixon, etc. appeared on the stage one after another. In the peaceful chaos, their growth, moral reconstruction and personality publicity made their life path full of variables, and they seemed to lack tempering.
In the novel Forrest Gump, it ends like this: "But I tell you, friend: Sometimes at night, I look up at the stars and see the whole sky just lying there. Don't think that 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, do you understand? "
I believe that even after seeing this, everyone's inner perplexity will not be reduced at all, but at the same time, we will feel a sense of detachment, just as we look up at the starry sky and feel a natural harmony and great power. Although some questions still have no answers, they have become less important. Time always flows relentlessly, which urges us not to waste time because of too much thinking.
