1. In terms of education
Forrest Gump is portrayed as the embodiment of virtue in the film. He is honest, trustworthy, serious, brave and values ??feelings. He only knows how to give to others without asking for anything. In return, he never mind being rejected by others, he just faces life openly and magnanimously. He focused his only wisdom, faith, and courage on one point. He ignored everything and only knew how to keep running on the road based on his intuition. He ran through the discrimination of his childhood classmates, ran across the college football field, He ran through the quagmire of the Vietnam War with heavy artillery fire, ran through the battlefield of Ping Pong diplomacy, ran all over the United States, and finally reached his finish line. 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, or soaring in the blue sky, or falling into the abyss... The film is adapted from Wen Novel of the same name by Stan Groom. Forrest Gump is a typical American. He embodies the national character of the United States, and he has also participated in or witnessed major historical events in the United States since the 1950s. Forrest Gump witnessed the black civil rights movement, went to the front line of the Vietnam War, witnessed the Watergate incident, and participated in the table tennis match that opened a new era of Sino-US diplomacy; in terms of popular culture, he was the teacher of Elvis Presley's most famous stage moves and inspired John Lennon's most famous song, in the long run invented the most famous slogan in the United States in the 1980s. The surface layer of the film is Forrest Gump's autobiography, narrated slowly by him. What Forrest Gump sees, hears, says, and does is not only highly representative, but also a direct illustration of history. This visual metaphor is vividly hinted at in the first shot of the film: a feather flutters across houses and roads, and finally falls at Forrest Gump’s feet. It is elegant but unremarkable, casual and stylish. Inevitability. Tom Hanks transformed Forrest Gump from a historical projection into a real, flesh-and-blood person. Forrest Gump is a child occupying the body of an adult, a sage-level fool, an ordinary person who transcends reality, and a little person who represents the national personality. Quote: Life is like a box of chocolates.
2. In terms of love
A fool Forrest Gump from South Alabama, the one woman he liked all his life was Jenny. Jenny had done many things that were sorry for Forrest Gump, from childhood to Forrest Gump and Jenny are good friends. They went to school together and grew up together. In the end, although they were far apart, Forrest Gump always loved Jenny, no matter what she did, no matter who she was, no matter how old or ugly she became, no matter how old or ugly she became, Where is she? Forrest Gump is always at home in South Alabama, missing his girl day and night, waiting for Jenny's return day and night.
This is Forrest Gump, this is his love, this is his Jenny.
Let’s think back to the first scene. Forrest Gump was in Jenny’s dormitory. Jenny asked him what kind of person he wanted to be in the future. Forrest Gump was stunned for a moment and said: Am I not being myself? Jenny said she wanted to be a singer and become famous, but Forrest Gump still didn't understand and said he just wanted to be himself.
I was deeply moved by this scene, because although Forrest Gump is a fool, he understands what he really needs. Becoming famous, making money, and becoming a successful person are not important. What is important is that we have to be ourselves. Why are we worthy of being respected by others? Is it because of our profession? status? Or family property? If so, the person himself becomes an accessory to these titles. I should be me, and I just want to be me. For Forrest Gump, he just wants to be himself and love a woman named Jenny.
In the scene in Washington, Jenny asked Forrest why he was so nice to her. A more rustic man would hold Jenny's hand and say lovingly because I love you. Forrest Gump was not. He put on his trademark idiot expression again and said to Jenny: you are my girl (because you are my girl).
Why not I love you? Why don't I love you? Because it goes without saying that I love you. If I love you and you don’t love me, then it is unbearable for me. I may find another woman to love, but because you are my girl, I I can bear your betrayal and your escape. I can also endure loneliness and the days without you. The important thing is not just that I love you, but because I know from the moment I see you that you are mine. Girl, you are my girl.
If someone thinks about this sentence carefully and looks at Forrest Gump's innocent face and eyes, he can understand what it means to love someone, what it means to like someone, and what it means to know someone. Man, what does it mean to give up on someone.
I often encounter this kind of thing. Men and women in love, no matter what they are in love for, no matter how much they pay, the one who pays more often complains that he has paid too much. , or little return. So the third voice will tell you: Don't take a man (woman) too seriously. The more you take him (her) seriously, the less he (she) will take you seriously.
In my opinion, these are cowardly and stupid people, because you are not actually in love at all. You are just intoxicating yourself in the name of love, but you reveal your real shortcomings when you pay in return.
Because love is inherently a luxury product, you cannot look for love because of loneliness, and you cannot look for love because of poverty, just like you cannot sleep with others because you are still a virgin. The value of love is that when your life is already rich, suddenly you want to find someone to share it all with. When you are already happy, love will make you happier.
So at this time, you don’t need to get anything from the other person at all. All you have is the desire to give. This is love.
Without restraint, without asking for anything in return, while loving the other person, you can withstand his or her betrayal and escape. This is true love.
It is easy to love someone, but it is very difficult to endure the so-called pain like Forrest Gump, because these are not love, but more like proof of self-worth.
That fool Forrest Gump from South Alabama eventually married Jenny and gave birth to a little Forrest Gump. They live happily together. At the end of the film, when Forrest Gump stood in front of Jenny's grave, he said in a South Alabama accent: I love you Jenny. This is why our eyes sparkle with tears, not because this fool finally married Jenny, but because this fool has a feeling that many smart people don't have: love. And those smart people who think they have love have not actually received love, and they do not know what love is.
In this way, Forrest Gump is not a fool, at least not an ordinary fool.
