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.
DESTINY
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 best.
Film Theme
“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:
LOVE
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.
A love poem
Film reviewFilm review
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, every time he can get a good result—
a football star, 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 moment, I think, he has already taken
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…
What do you think of it?What do you think of it?
