(This film is adapted from winston groom, the author of Forrest Gump. )

In the sky, a feather fluttered with the wind, floated over the treetops and flew into the sky ... Finally, it landed at Forrest Gump's feet, and Forrest Gump sat on a bench in Alabama, endlessly telling the story of his life-

Forrest Gump was born in a remote town in southern Alabama shortly after the end of World War II. He was born mentally retarded with an IQ of only 75. However, his mother is a strong woman. She wants her son to live like other normal people. She often encourages Forrest Gump to be "stupid" and asks him to constantly strive for self-improvement. God did not abandon Forrest Gump. He not only gave Forrest Gump a pair of "flying legs" like flying, but also gave him a pure and upright heart without any evil thoughts. At school, Forrest Gump met Jenny, a blonde girl. Since then, Forrest Gump has been running in the love of his mother and Jenny all his life.

In middle school, Forrest Gump ran into a football field of the 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 joined the Vietnam War at the instigation of a recruit. His troops were ambushed in a battle. 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: Bubba, who was keen on catching shrimp, and Deng Taylor, the awesome captain.

After the war, Forrest Gump was received by President Johnson as a hero. At a peaceful assembly, Forrest Gump met Jenny again. Jenny has 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 broke up in a hurry.

As an emissary of ping-pong diplomacy, Forrest Gump also participated in a ping-pong competition in China, which contributed to the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States. Under the guidance of the creed of "keeping your word", Forrest Gump finally broke into a sky of his own. He taught Elvis Presley to dance; Writing songs for John Lennon; In the surging civil rights movement, he disintegrated a large-scale ethnic conflict that was on the verge of exploding; He even unconsciously forced the thieves who sneaked into the Watergate building to fall into the law, which eventually led to the collapse of President Nixon.

Because "Blessed are the fools", Forrest Gump also made a fortune by mistake and became a billionaire. Forrest Gump didn't want to be burdened by fame and fortune, so he became a gardener. Forrest Gump often misses Jenny, who has already gone astray and fallen into despair. Finally one day, Jenny came back. She lived with Forrest Gump for a while. One night, Jenny fell into Forrest Gump's arms and left quietly at dawn. Three years later, Forrest Gump met Jenny again and had a little boy, his son. At this time, Jenny got an incurable disease. Forrest Gump took Jenny and his son back to their hometown and had a happy time.

Jenny died 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.

The representative work of American "anti-intellectual movies"

Full of the conservative spirit of the return of Hollywood movies.

An epic film that shows the agreement between history and individuals and reveals the political and social history of the United States with the experience of small people.

Famous comments

It can be said that Forrest Gump is an authoritative American film.

——BBC

It's incredible.

-Chicago Sun Times

Like other excellent actors, Hanks is a super reactor.

-Time magazine

I think Forrest Gump in the story is simply a typical American, and his growth process is exactly what we have experienced. He asked us to look back on the past history clearly. He is a good man who can make people laugh and cry.

-Hollywood producer Wendy Fei Erman.

In this movie, I hope Forrest Gump will appear on the screen as a simple-minded, naive and independent character. I think every character in the movie is a symbol of American humanity.

In my opinion, the uniqueness of this film is that it reaffirms the old morality and the main culture of society, promotes the mainstream ideology of the United States in the 1960 s, and denies other avant-garde new cultures. I think it is based on this that it can win the hearts of the American people.

-Robert Zemekis, the director of this film

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. Forrest Gump's IQ in the film is not high, but he has the virtues of honesty, trustworthiness, courage and sincerity that society has long been far away from. At the beginning of the film, we may be amused by Forrest Gump's stupidity. In front of him, we were full of superiority, but at the end of the film, we had 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 she were distant relatives with Benji, the fool in Faulkner's masterpiece The Sound and the Fury. But there are obvious essential differences between them: Bangui is only a symbol of family decline and a real imbecile; Forrest Gump, on the other hand, represents almost all the virtues lacking in this era: honesty and trustworthiness, hard work, courage and fearlessness, and 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 Forrest Gump loves is a symbol of depravity. She caught almost all the bad habits, such as drug abuse and sexual liberation, and finally she died of a virus-in fact, this refers to HIV. But Forrest Gump loves her desperately. The film not only makes specious accusations against him, but also shows his innocence and kindness.

Forrest Gump, like a soldier, has won survival and development again and again with his seemingly simple mind, special talent and strong body as weapons. This is a kind of hope to repay god, and it also contains a keynote: forward and run. Some people say that running like this will bring hope. In fact, hope exists. This unique film has won so many audiences and even attracted those who only like light entertainment movies, which shows the hope itself and the power of hope.

Forrest Gump's image subverts the hero image in the normal world, runs counter to the traditional concept and has a strong anti-tradition and anti-mainstream color. Forrest Gump's experience dwarfs many "smart people". I think the director just wants to satirize the society through the image of Forrest Gump and reflect the current situation of society, such as exposing the alienation and degeneration of people? In order to arouse people's concern about the fate and future of society and people. Interestingly, Forrest Gump always has a group of followers behind him. They can't find the answer to life and blindly follow Forrest Gump. It can be said that this was a reality of American society at that time. People are disappointed with the reality, can't find the motivation and significance of survival, and have to pin their fate on others hopelessly. However, Forrest Gump can always face the reality optimistically and run bravely, which is a wonderful irony.

Forrest Gump will undoubtedly go down in history for such a unique figure rarely seen in Hollywood movies in recent years. In the United States, Forrest Gump is the embodiment of this generation born in the 1950s and 1960s after the war. In their experiences, the Klan, rock, Vietnam War, Kennedy, Nixon and so on. Appeared on the stage one after another. In the peaceful chaos, their growth, moral reconstruction and personality publicity make their life path full of variables. They seem to lack discipline and stumble.

In the novel Forrest Gump, it ends like this: "But I tell you, my friend: sometimes at night, I look up at the starry sky and see the whole sky lying there like that. Don't think I don't remember anything." I still have dreams like everyone else, and occasionally I wonder what life would be like if things were different. Then, in the blink of an eye, I am already forty, fifty or sixty years old, do you understand? "

I believe that even if we see this, our inner confusion will not be reduced at all, but at the same time, we will have a sense of detachment, just as we look up at the stars and feel a natural harmony and great power. Although some questions are still unanswered, they have become less important. Time always goes by mercilessly, which urges us not to waste time by thinking too much.

Film Review of Forrest Gump

Forrest Gump is an unfortunate person. Usually people always think that such a person will not succeed in doing anything. However, on the contrary, this unfortunate man has achieved many incredible successes. He is a football star, a war hero and a millionaire!

In the 67th Academy Awards 1995 Best Film Competition, the film Forrest Gump won six awards in one fell swoop: best film, best actor, best director, best adapted script, best editing and best visual effect. By describing the life of a mentally retarded person, the film reflects all aspects of American life and shows important events in American social and political life in the past few decades from a unique perspective. The film is adapted from winston groom's novel of the same name. It's just that the original is an absurd novel full of irony, while the film embellishes and beautifies the story. Abandoned the absurdity and satire of the original work, and added a warmth to the film. This undoubtedly makes the film more suitable for the audience and judges, but it sacrifices the rebellious spirit of the original work and makes the film a symbol of idealized morality.

Forrest Gump is portrayed in the film as the embodiment of virtue, honest, trustworthy, earnest, brave and attached importance to feelings. In the film, Forrest Gump is a very pure image, while Jenny becomes a symbol of depravity. This is very different from the original. For everything described, the film is expressed with a warm and cordial attitude from beginning to end, and even poetic elements are added to make the film appear soft and harmless. The promotion and embodiment of traditional moral concepts in movies. Make the film easy to be accepted by people, and the director's superb arrangement skills and the use of film language also make the film very attractive. The content of the film ensures the commercial success of the film, and the director's artistic treatment also makes the film more exciting, which is the reason for the success of the film. Forrest Gump became one of the most popular movies in America that year.

Tom Hanks's performance in the film is very simple and natural. He won the Oscar for best actor for his performance in this film. This is the second time in a row that he has won the golden statue of best actor. The success of Forrest Gump also made Tom Hanks one of the most popular movie stars in Hollywood. For Tom Hanks, those two years were the luckiest days in his acting career.

Film review

Forrest Gump is one of the ten most worthy movies for men. I was really touched after reading it. Fingers on the keyboard, really can't express their emotions. I reposted a movie that I thought was very good for everyone to enjoy.

"Life is like all kinds of chocolates, you never know which one belongs to you." Forrest Gump's mother explained to us that everyone's life trajectory exists and is unique. Forrest Gump, just listening to such teaching, stepped onto the miracle of his life step by step.

From having to enter a special school with an IQ of only 75, to becoming a football player, to becoming a Vietnam War hero, to becoming a shrimp boat captain, and then to traveling all over the United States ... "Forrest Gump" has reached a height that many mentally sound people may not reach in their lifetime.

At the beginning and end of the film, you will see a light white feather falling from the sky and slowly landing at Forrest Gump's feet under the vast blue sky. I think this is actually what the movie is implying, implying that if someone in this world regards life as pure, plain and beautiful as feathers, then this person must be Forrest Gump.

Forrest Gump was not born an outstanding person. But God is so fair-often, it will make people with low starting point realize the truth of life earlier and more deeply than those who are full of natural superiority. Forrest Gump's leg was disabled when he was a child. Forrest Gump's mother had to install a heavy iron frame for her beloved son to help him walk. So every time after school, my companions will laugh at Forrest Gump, play with Forrest Gump and even chase Forrest Gump to throw stones. Often at this time, Jenny, a female classmate, shouted, "Forrest Gump, run." Then, Forrest Gump panicked, ran, fell, and struggled to get up ... gradually, the iron shelf no longer bound him, and finally he ran like a fly. His companions can't catch up with him, so they can only watch helplessly and do nothing. This should be said to be the first miracle in Forrest Gump's life.

Running fast is a good world. Forrest Gump, with his amazing running speed, entered the football team, then entered the university and finally graduated smoothly. Soon, he took part in the Vietnam War. In Vietnam, Forrest Gump's troops were ambushed. With a retreat order, Forrest Gump remembered Jenny's instructions: "If you can't beat them, run." Forrest Gump then turned and ran. He became the only survivor. Seeing this, the audience will probably laugh. If Forrest Gump doesn't run fast, it is impossible to go back and save the injured comrades; Forrest Gump is not Forrest Gump unless he goes back to save his comrades.

Forrest Gump was received by the President for his outstanding military achievements. This is a comedy carefully prepared by the director for us. But I still don't feel exaggerated or ridiculous about this. Perhaps, once, some people often felt that the burden of life was too heavy, and they were unhappy all day because of the difficulties ahead. Forrest Gump, the belief is so simple, the goal is so clear, even if it is congenital deficiency, even before entering the wasteland, the lovely Forrest Gump can definitely look at it with an absolutely normal heart and finally cross it one by one. This can never be explained by "the blessing of fools". Therefore, I prefer to believe that only those who maintain Forrest Gump's attitude and strong will can reduce their many burdens on life or other things, thus reaching the peak of life and achieving ultimate glory.

Forrest Gump has only one kind of love to support his life, and that is maternal love; Forrest Gump only loves one girl, Jenny, and his heart is always quiet. He can start a shrimp industry that he is not familiar with, in memory of his dead comrade Bubba (just because of Bubba's words). ...

Forrest Gump has only one goal guiding him at every stage of his life, and he has to work steadily, tirelessly and firmly for it until this goal is completed or new goals appear. Without simple choices, there will be no distractions of the mind; People who have no distractions can probably lift their weights easily and live a relaxed life.

There are indeed many miracles in Forrest Gump's life, but these miracles have not and will never make me envy him. Probably, I will, just to appreciate those years, life and history with Forrest Gump, appreciate the bitterness and sweetness, and even expect people to "cross the defects and improve their lives" ...
