seeds of a conservative revival

In the sophomore year, I talked about Forrest Gump with an alpha female. She looked contemptuously: Do you still think A-Gump is an idiot?

I nodded.

Smart people in Hollywood put Forrest Gump on the altar, as if the motive was too obvious. On the surface, holy idiots can always turn bad, old-fashioned motifs, but they are interestingly used in the turbulent revolutionary era, the Vietnam War, Kennedy, the civil rights movement, and sexual liberation. These pointers of American society have all been obliterated. Gan's anti-intellectual nature was disrupted.

Movies are better than books. The book says that Forrest Gump is an Adonis and a perfect person (except for IQ). However, what the two media convey is an insatiable reaction to intelligence in the American tradition, and an old motif, but the wine bottle is filled with new wine, and the filmmakers still have a few gimmicks.

Forrest Gump has always been mainstream and has always been at the center of the "American Spirit." His mental retardation is an embarrassment to history. Jenny is a typical child in the 60s, so he was sentenced to death row. Jenny listened to rock, took drugs, promiscuously, and participated in political campaigns, while A-Gump's hiding his powers unknowingly avoided all causes and ended up in peace. He joined the army, he worked, he was highly productive, a model citizen of American society, and an economic animal. He also for the history of these very disturbing movie some people obscenity: defeat Chinese table tennis team, the anti-Vietnam War lecture to the crowd ...... All of these

every so successful Forrest Gump, he is the creator of one pair of 60's Kind of contemptuous attitude. They are middle-class, nostalgic (if you go to san francisco...), and oppose critical considerations (A-Gump's unconscious success in the war was a slap in the face of Jenny and others who opposed the Vietnam War). The 1960s was childish and crazy, but whether Forrest Gump was the most idealized response of an ordinary person to the unpredictable future is still quite questionable.

It sounds like this is online, but Forrest Gump's structure is too obvious, it's too difficult for me not to think about it.

Forrest Gump is a good person, but just a small pawn, behind it is the little history of the wise Hollywood managers.

Or it should say: "Gump Cons prove that conservatives are like a box of chocolates: you never know when something mushy is going to ooze out." (Florence King)

Forrest Gump quotes

  • Forrest Gump: [Narrating] I liked that guitar, it sounded good I started moving around to the music swinging my hips, this one night me and momma was out shopping and walked by the appliance store, some years later that handsome young man they called" The King" he sang too many songs and had himself a heart attack or something, must be hard being "The King"

  • Forrest Gump: [Seeing Jenny for the first time, narrating] I hadn't seen anything so beautiful in my life she was like an angel. I just sat next to her on that bus and had a conversation all the way to school. Next to momma no one ever talked to me or asked me questions from that day on we were always together Jenny, she helped me learn how to read and I showed her how to swing sometimes we'd just sit out and wait for the stars for some reason Jenny never wanted to go home she was my most special friend, my only friend
