This is a supermarket administrator who works hard and works hard and has won N times of excellent employee appraisal. However, in a layoff, he was forced to be laid off under the pretext of not having a college degree. Even if he used to be a soldier, he failed to retain the position on which he had worked for more than two decades. The source of income was instantly cut off, the lonely tree was difficult to support, and the large real estate that had to be sold to repay the loan was forced to find another part-time job if wronged. In order to increase competitiveness, returning to university for further studies has become the only choice. Soon to get acquainted with all kinds of classmates and improve their knowledge, she also accidentally had an ambiguous relationship with the aloof and beautiful female teacher. It can be regarded as having both academics and love, opening up a new world of happiness.

The film was written, directed, and acted by Tom Hanks, and played by Julia Roberts. Although it does not hesitate to transmit invincible positive energy, it is everywhere to teach everyone to change their minds and be optimistic when facing difficulties. What do not divorce, you must have a college degree, respect the teacher, ride a motorcycle and save fuel, all these kinds of strong guidance and preaching are too numerous to mention, and a bit of humor can be seen everywhere. However, the 56-year-old Hanks and the 45-year-old Roberts still have to create a love of old age, which makes people seem to be unable to find the slightest approval. Roberts's exaggerated laughter seems to destroy the whole tenderness and sweetness. In fact, the two of them honestly started with friends first, which is more in line with the emotional progress of the elderly.

In any case, if you want to understand the relatively real life in the U.S. and don't like to get lost among various superheroes, this film can be regarded as a more mature viewing choice. Even if you are squeezed out and go through all kinds of embarrassment, you can still forge ahead and radiate your passion, deduct a positive attitude of never giving up, and win a more fulfilling and happy life. Perhaps, for the American people who have been stuck in the economic crisis for many years and cannot extricate themselves, the Forrest Gump spirit at this time will really bring new hope to the American people, and it is not known! At least, when bad luck continues to fall, there is only "optimism" left.
