Forrest Gump

“Life is like a box of chocolates.You never know what you’re gonna get.” However, when you watch Forrest Gump starring Tom Hanks as Forrest and Robin Wright as Jenny, you know you are going to get a lot of laughs and even a few tears.The screenplay for the 1994 movie was written by Eric Roth, based on the novel by Winston Groom.The story follows Forrest through 30 years of trials and tribulations, placing Forrest within historical moments of history, and in pursuit of his one dream–his “most special friend,” Jenny.According to the Washington Post, Forrest Gump won Oscar awards for Best Picture, Best Actor(Hanks), Best Director(Robert Zemeckis), Film Editing, Visual Effects and Adapted Screenplay.The movie was well deserving of these awards since the acting and the visual effects were extraordinary.The films’ actors success in portraying their characters is a major factor in the film’s awards.Tom Hanks and Robin Wright worked well together, just like “peas and carrots.” The on-screen chemistry between the two was phenomenal.I felt a real connection between the two, finding myself mad at Jenny when she blew Forrest off and in tears when he told her that he was heading to Vietnam.Mokui’s Movie Review states “Tom Hanks IS Forrest Gump…He breathes life into the guy and you will feel what Forrest feels”(1994, par 1).James Berardinelli states, “Robin Wright gives the best performance of her career, surpassing what she accomplished in The Playboys”(1994, par2).Another performance that stands out is that of Gary Sinise.Sinise plays the part of Lieutenant Dan Taylor, whose life is saved by Forrest during the Vietnam War.James Berardinelli writes, “In this movie, his Lieutenant Dan Taylor is riveting”(1994, par 3).I thought that Sinise was quite convincing with his emotions throughout the movie, as if he was really a disabled vet who had lost both legs in the war.Just as good as the actors were those working behind the scenes with the special effects.Throughout Forrest Gump the special effects were incredible.During Lieutenant Taylor’s scenes, I was convinced that he really didn’t have legs.I was studying the scenes, looking for any signs of legs, trying to figure out how it was done.It turns out that each and every frame was painted over to give it the true to life values that it holds.Also bringing the movie more credibility was the ability to place Forrest in history making events.These events ranged from Forrest teaching Elvis how to swing his hips to meeting Presidents for various accomplishments.These television clips of Forrest were done with such finesse that they look real.Critic Brian Webster(2003)states, “This is handled virtually flawlessly;if you didn’t know better, you’d believe that a fellow named Gump really did tell President Lyndon Johnson that he had been shot in the rump while acting heroically in Vietnam”(par 2).Rolling Stone(2003)states, “The effects dazzle, though never at the expense of the story”(Travers, par 2).This story, complete with the Oscar winning performances in both acting and special effects is perfect for those in need of a dose of goodness.My family enjoys watching Forrest Gump together for rejuvenation, to view someone with true values of honesty, friendship and family.Forrest, with his heart of gold and his low IQ, never gives up.He

always looks for the best in every scenario.The movie opens with a feather floating down over the city, landing at Forrest’s feet.Near the end of the story, Forrest questions, “Do we each have a destiny-or do we just float around accidental, like on a breeze?” As you are contemplating this question, the feather reappears and floats through the countryside right up into the ending credits.

The two women in the life of Forrest Gump

----the film review on the film “Forrest Gump”

Forrest Gump, the movie which I have watched for three times, is a film that surprised and moved me so much.It was based on the novel of Winston Groom while the hero is a famous actor—Tom Hanks.He performed so well all through the film that I enjoyed the warm human nature, the inspiration of belief and other virtues through any scene in it.The female, a kind of role, is very essential in the film as it acts in the real society.As the Chinese saying goes, women hold up half the sky.In the life of Forrest Gump, there are two women—one is his great mother, the other is his lifelong lover, Jenny.They accounted for Forrest’s whole life.At the beginning of the film, Mrs.Gump, Forrest’s mother, impressed me much.I think Forrest with an IQ of 75 was so lucky to own such a strong-minded and smart mother.She and her Forrest lived in Greenbow, Alabama, all on their own.She told Forrest he was no different than anybody else was though he braced his legs.Under her philosophical words, “life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get”, Forrest achieved marvelous success in his life step by step such as entering college, being awarded the Congressional medal of honour, being a gozillionaire and so on.She was just like any mother to love Forrest from the bottom of her heart and inspire him any time.In turn she was also proud of Forrest with happy smile in his college graduation ceremony and when he was awarded as a Vietnam War hero.Unfortunately, she was sick with a cancer and died on a Tuesday.At the end of her life, she still teached her son to accept death as a part of life and to pursue his own destiny.Though keeping far away in the heaven finally, I think this mother would still look at and bless her son.Jenny was Forrest’s lifelong lover.They met each other in the school bus.In the film Jenny did many bad things to Forrest.From their childhood right on up Jenny and Forrest were good friends.They came to school together and grew with each other’s accompany.Finally though they stayed far away from each other, Forrest

always loved his Jenny.No matter whatever she had done, whoever she was and wherever she stayed, Forrest still remained in the home of Alabama missing his girl and waiting for her return from day to night.This is just Forrest Gump.This is his love.This is his Jenny.I also thought of such scene: Forrest kept in the dorm of Jenny and Jenny asked about who he would dream to be.Forrest just gave an answer that he wanted to be himself.I am moved deeply by it because though he is a fool, Forrest knows what he really needs.As to him, he only wants to be himself and fall in love with a lady named Jenny.Besides in another scene in Washington Jenny asked,“Why are you so good to me ?”, while Forrest’s answer was “You are my girl”.Why is it not “I love you”?Because there is no need of more words to express Forrest’s love to Jenny.It was not added with any limitations and no request of paying back.We can compare today’s love with Forrest’s and then gain the feeling of purity.At the end, Forrest Gump, the fool of Alabama, married his lover Jenny and had a little Forrest.There are more to consider about Forrest Gump.I believe it is so excellent a movie and every one would be moved by Forrest Gump.

THE COMMENT FOR FORREST GUMP

After watching the movie FORREST GUMP,I was really movedGump.It is unimaginable that a boy whose IQ is only 75 can have such a wonderful life.In the movie, Jenny is a very important person for gump.I think the change for Gump is started from Jenny’s shout “RUN FORREST ,RUN FORREST ”.It is running that makes his life differently.Then he run to college and get a degree, and run in the war to save his and his friends life.In short he is always running in different ways.Though his IQ is only 75,he can understand what his mother told him and always obey it.His mother said “life is like a box of chocolates ,and you never know what you are gonna get”.Yes ,Gump’s life is really like a box of chocolates ,and it always give us surprise.Life is really strange ,we know that Gump never has a big dream of his life ,but he always take us miracle.I remember that when no one wants to sit together with him on the first time to school ,Jenny appeared and called him to sit with her.And many years later on the way to the war the same situation come again ,and Bab appeared to do the same with Jenny.And then Jenny was the most important women for Gump ,and Bab was his real friend.During the war he rescued Dan who was the other real friend for Gump.after retired from military service Gump keep his promise to Bab that to be a shrimber,maybe the god help him that he actually to be a millionaire.Gump is a silly , he get what normal can not get.Through gump I know that we should be loyal to love, friendship and promise.

Forrest Gump

Forrest Gump was born in Alabama, where is in South America, an isolated small town Shortly after World War II.He was born with mental retardation, However, Gump’s mother has a strong character and she hopes Gump lives as same as others.She always encourages Gump, telling Gump〝You are no different with anybody else.〞

Forrest Gump who is unfortunately to be born with a lower IQ and the muscle problem, usually, people always think this kind of person can't be successful in doing anything.But, instead, this unlucky man has achieved lots of incredible success.he is a football star, a war hero, and later a millionaire!

The film was passed to a intellectual disturbance person the description of life has reflected every aspect of U.S.A.'s life, important incident of social political life make and represent to these decades such as U.S.A.from one unique angle.Forrest Gump image subvert the normal world, the image of a hero, with the traditional concept, and it is strong anti-traditional and anti-mainstream.But I think the director is mean to reflect the social status quo, such as the alienation of the people, the revelation of corruption and so on in order to attract people’s attention to their fate and future through Forrest Gump image.Forrest Gump and the “Fool” is almost a representative of the times by the lack of all the virtues: honesty and trustworthiness, serious work, courage Fearless, on the other hand is that these virtues have become stupid, which is some of today's social situation of a great irony.Forrest Gump as a soldier, with his seemingly simple, but in reality is more simple-minded and special talents, as well as physical powerful weapons, again and again to win the survival and development.It includes a keynote: forward, to run.It is said that this run will bring hope to people.Although Gump’s IQ is a little lower than normal levels.He was honest, trustworthy, serious, and bold and places a very high value on feelings.He only knows how to pay without asking for anything, and never mind others refuse him.He was just open-minded, magnanimous in the face of life.He focuses all of his wisdom, faith and courage on one point, just run and run.Nothing is important to him but run.He kept running on the road by instinct.He ran over the classmates’ discrimination in childhood, ran the university's football field, ran through the fire swirling in the

quagmire of the Vietnam War, and ran ping-pong diplomacy over the entire United States, and eventually went to his end.Gump never insist something or expect something, he just uses his simple and honest and pure to touch the world.As is said in the film,“ Miracles happen every day.” I think we do not have any reasons to complain our life.Contrasted to Gump, we really have a lot in our life.Gump never feels sorry for his life, why should we? Just keep running, nothing is difficult if you have made up your mind to conquer it.Most time, our real enemy is not the difficulties but ourselves.Whenever you feel distressed, think of Gump----a miracle of life, and tell yourself that the only person who can defeat you in the world is yourself!As long as you keep running, miracles happen every day!

In the novel “Forrest Gump”, at the end of it reads: “But I tell you, friends: Sometimes at night, I look up to the stars, then see the whole sky on the laid there, I do not think I remember nothing.I still have a dream, like everyone else, I would occasionally think of another situation in life, like son.And then, blink of an eye, I have forty, fifty, sixty-year-old, you understand, right? ”

I believe that even here, everyone's inner sense of fear that will not be reduced, but at the same time we also felt a sense of detachment.Time is always ruthlessly circulation, and it urged us not to let too much time thinking and loading.I really love this film.Everyone who watched Forrest Gump would gain a little sentiment.And to me, it makes me understand life is more beautiful than I ever think.Whoever we are, and whatever we do, we should believe ourselves, never give up and never think we are inferior to others.Gump's mother once said “Life is like a box of chocolates.You never know what you're gonna get.”In fact, this simple discourse contains a life attitudes that each person understand but difficult to achieve.There is a lot for us to learn from Forrest Gump.
