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)

    To be honest, I didn't see the content of the film being too inspirational. Only saw that A-Gump used his talent and succeeded. Of course, he is very persistent and kind.

    This is a typical anti-intellectual film in the United States. Smart people may not be able to succeed. Forrest Gump's IQ is extremely low, but his EQ is extremely high. With a simple heart, he has done great things in the eyes of others and tried his best to take care of the people around him. Success is full of inevitable and accidental. Life is like a box of chocolates. The two most classic lines
