Forrest Gump is portrayed as the embodiment of virtue in the film. He is honest, trustworthy, serious, brave and emotional. He only knows how to give to others without asking for anything in return, and he never minds rejection by others. ?
He just faces life openly and frankly, focusing his only wisdom, faith, and courage on one point. He doesn’t care about anything and only knows how to keep running on the road based on his intuition. He ran through the discrimination of his childhood classmates, ran through the college football field, ran through the quagmire of the Vietnam War with gunfire, ran through the battlefield of ping-pong diplomacy, ran all over the United States, and finally reached the high point of his life.

In the 1990s, anti-war sentiment in American society was on the rise. As a result, Hollywood released a number of films that belittled modern civilization, advocated low IQ and returned to primitiveness. The American media called it an "anti-intellectual movie."
"Forrest Gump" is a representative work of anti-intellectual movies during this period. It is adapted from the best-selling novel of the same name by American writer Winston Glum, and tells the life of a mentally retarded person with an IQ of 75. The description reflects all aspects of American life and presents important events in the social and political life of the United States over the past few decades from a unique perspective.
It makes Americans re-examine the past of the country and individuals, and re-examine the essence of Americans. Everyone who has watched "Forrest Gump" will get some insights from it: life is like the white feathers in the sky, either fighting in the wind, or drifting with the wind, soaring in the blue sky, or falling into the abyss.
