Today, I would like to introduce you a film I really adore. It is called Forrest Gump (1994), a heartwarming drama starring Tom Hanks and winning 6 Oscars.
The story unfolds with Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks), a man with a low IQ but an innocent, pure heart, telling the story of his life to people waiting at a bus stop in a small town. Despite being poor in intelligence, Forrest's mother raises him to choose his own destiny. Forrest unawaringly achieves many great things in life, obtaining fame, fortune and glory, but his one true love eludes him.
There are two plots in this film: the extraordinary tale of Forrest's life and the heartbreaking romance between Forrest and his only love, Jenny. The message to be passed on to viewers throughout the film is that determination, love, courage and honesty are more important than intelligence. The stories of Forrest's life made me think about how I want to live the rest of my life. Before watching this film, I believed somewhere in my heart that succeeding in society from and gaining fame from an early age was everything. Forrest, however, was never happy even after he captured great fortune. All he wanted in his life was to be with the person he truly loved. Now, I look at life differently. I feel that every person has their own unique goal in their lives, be it large or small, and they have all the time in their life to find that goal and achieve it.
Here is a trailer of Forrest Gump on youtube. It will change your view of life, too!

ReplyDeleteGreat film. Hubba Bubba and all the actors are a great ensemble. A classic. Has Tom Hanks ever made a bad movie?
