Thoughts on "Forrest Gump"-Fools are not stupid

I believe many people have watched the film "Forrest Gump". Although it is old, it is still very meaningful.

Forrest Gump is an incompetent boy with an IQ of only 75. In order to correct his hunchback, he needs to wear a brace.

After getting on the school bus, all the children did not want to sit with him, only a girl named Jenny did. The fate of these two people is completely different, but A-Gump fell in love with Jenny since she was a child. They are inseparable.

In order to avoid being bullied by other children in school, he followed Jenny's words and started to "run". He ran to avoid other people's tricks.

When Jenny asked him to run this time, he started to run in life in order to avoid the bullying of the children, and the cumbersome correction frame was also eliminated by the speed at which he seemed to be flying. That shot was the first shot that moved me, and it was also the shot that all the students applauded. That's how Forrest Gump got rid of the children riding bicycles.

In middle school, he ran into the football field of a school in order to avoid others, so he ran into the university. Forrest Gump was admitted exceptionally and became a rugby superstar. He was received by President Kennedy. After graduating from university, A-Gump enlisted in the army and went to Vietnam. When getting on the military bus, neither black nor white would like to sit with him. This situation is the same as when he was rejected on the school bus when he was a child. This time he met a black friend, Babu. Although A-Gump is very stupid, he does not have any racial discrimination.

There, he also met Lieutenant Dan in Vietnam. Lieutenant Dan's fate is both glorious and stressful. His ancestors died in battles in the United States for generations, so his fate of death in the Vietnam War seems inescapable.

In the forest, Agan's platoon was attacked by fire from the Vietnamese army. It seemed that it was time for Lieutenant Dan to accept his fate. He called A-Gump "run!". A-Gump also remembered the last time he had with Jenny before leaving the United States. Jenny told him, "Don't be a hero, just run if you have trouble." "So A-Gump started running again, and ran out of the forest to a safe lake. Only then did I remember Babu, my best and best friend. So he ran back again, but every time he rescued other teammates, including Lieutenant Dan, so Lieutenant Dan did not get his fate. Finally, A-Gump found Babu, and the wound on Babu's stomach was already shocking. Babu put a big leaf in front of his abdomen and said to A-Gump, "I'm fine." Although A-Gump was dull, he also seemed to realize that his good friend was dying. Sure enough, Babu left him soon after.

At this time, Jenny had fallen and lived a slutty life. Gan always loved Jenny, but Jenny didn't love him. After the war, Gan was received by President Johnson as a hero. At a peaceful rally, Gan met Jenny again, and the two hurriedly met and broke up. Under the guidance of the creed of "whatever you say, you must do it", Gan finally broke out a piece of sky that belongs to him. In his life, he met many celebrities in the United States. He reported on the eavesdropper of the Watergate Incident, and went to China as a member of the American table tennis team, and he contributed to the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States. The two music superstars, Elvis and John Lennon, also composed many popular songs through their interactions with him. In the end, Gan became an entrepreneur by catching shrimp. To commemorate the death of Bubba, he established Bubba Gan Company and gave half of the company's shares to Bubba's mother to become a gardener by himself. Gan has gone through various historical periods when the world is changing, but no matter when, wherever and who he is with, he remains the same, simple and kind. In his secluded life, he often missed Jenny. At this time, Jenny had already gone astray and was in despair. Finally one day, Jenny came back. She and Gan lived together for some time. One night, Jenny fell into A-Gump's arms, and then quietly left at dawn. After waking up, Gan Muran sat on the bench in front of the door, and then suddenly began to run. He ran across America and became a celebrity again. After running for a long time, Gan stopped and began to return to his hometown. On the way, he received a letter from Jenny. He saw Jenny again, and a little boy, his son. At this time, Jenny had already got an incurable disease. Gan and Jenny returned to their hometown together and spent a happy time together. Jenny has passed away, and their son has reached school age. Gan sent his son to the school bus and sat on the bench at the bus stop, recalling his life experience.

This story contains too many philosophies, it is endless to say. Talk about a few roles here. The first is Jenny. She has her own dream. She aspires to be a country singer, talking on the guitar and singing on her stage. For this dream, it was also the reason why she left Forrest several times. She was pursuing this stage, but fate did not let her get it. For the first time, after being kicked out of the girls' school, she went to an improper dance hall to sing. She was naked, holding a guitar in front of her, singing affectionately, she originally thought that she seemed to have taken the first step towards success. But the spectators were not moved by her singing. What they wanted was the dancing of a sexy body. A-Gump saw the spectators molesting Jenny and rescued Jenny without hesitation. In this way, Jenny left her first stage, and also left Forrest Gump.

Later, she gradually degenerates, has promiscuous sex, takes drugs, and becomes a bad woman with nothing. Even so, she still wanted the dream, the stage. At that time, A-Gump was already a celebrity in the United States. She could rely on A-Gump, but she did not do that. Although it is difficult to rely on your own efforts, and you will be deceived by many bad guys. Jenny thought of suicide. She climbed onto the balcony railing and took a step toward death, but she thought of Forrest Gump. That silly fellow is still in Alabama, waiting for her with innocent love. Yes, even if Jenny's heart has been polluted, there is still an uncultivated virgin land in her heart. There is A-Gump in that place. Jenny seemed to have found the direction of her destiny. Later, she and A-Gump gave birth to a child, a beautiful boy with blond hair, smart like a mother. But Jenny had to pay the price for her depravity, contracted an unknown disease, and finally left this world. I don't know how he feels about A-Gump, who has always been sluggish in his feelings. That day, he took a letter from Little Forrest Gump to Jenny's present. He said, "Jenny. I came to see you. I also brought you a box of chocolates. Do you want to eat it? I will open it for you. This is a letter from Little Forrest Gump. He told me not to open it and see. I didn’t open it. I’ll put it here, you see. We’re all fine. Little A-Gump has gone to school, he is very smart, not like his father..." Compare these two very different people, A-Gump, although Stupid, but happily living. In his heart, there is not a stain infected by the ugliness of the society, only a field of innocence as beautiful as a child. In that place, there is an eternal angel——Jenny. He doesn't care if Jenny is good or bad. In his mind, since the moment Jenny gave him her seat, Jenny has been the eternal angel in his heart. In the face of Jenny's many departures, A-Gump once tried to stay, and he told Jenny that he loves her. But Jenny was still pursuing her dream, she left A-Gump many times and left alone. Perhaps in the end, she truly understood the true meaning of her life before returning to A-Gump. Jenny, such a girl should not be uncommon in today's society. She is a person of normal intelligence, but she is dazzled by her dreams. A-Gump is the spiritual love of her soul, but A-Gump can only give her spiritual comfort after all, but it can't satisfy Jenny's material desires. It's not that A-Gump is poor. What Jenny hopes is that she can shape her own future by herself, rather than relying on anyone, but her contribution is negligible, and she has fallen. What saved her? Perhaps she knew the moment she jumped off the building, stretched out her foot and retracted her foot. Let's talk about Lieutenant Dan. He scolded almost all the dirty words in this film. He was a soldier, who was supposed to die as gloriously as his ancestors, but his fate was changed by A-Gump. He was not dead, but he lost his legs and lived a decadent life. Maybe at first he hated A-Gump and changed his destiny, but then he was also moved by A-Gump. He scolded God, scolded God, didn't believe in any god in the world, wanted to go against his fate, but had no choice. On A-Gump’s shrimp boat, he jumped into the sea. Lieutenant Dan said to A-Gump; "You saved me, I never thanked you", then jumped into the water and swam far away. A-Gump said;" He is reconciled to God". Lieutenant Dan was moved by A-Gump, and finally stopped scolding the world, but also broke out his own destiny on his own and lived a happy life.

Many people felt sorry for A-Gump after watching this movie, but A-Gump might not think so. Because of the dull nerves, he didn't even know what was pitiful. But maybe it is such a fool who does not have the sorrow of those wise men in the world. Those smart people are like Jenny, who abandons dignity and even life for dreams or other reasons. Although I am not discouraged from pursuing dreams, I cannot be blindly when pursuing them. In this turbid world, how much of a person's soul is clean and honest? How many people have never been polluted by the world? Perhaps everyone has such a field in his heart, where there is the person who loves you and the person you love, there is carefree innocence, and there is a real paradise. Our paradise may still be hidden, maybe even we haven't cultivated it yet, but it is this thought paradise that dominates A-Gump's nervous system. It allows A-Gump to live a stupid but not stupid life. Of course there are a lot of lucky elements here, but if A-Gump is a normal person, then he must be in pain. If A-Gump is a normal person, he will not rescue Lieutenant Dan, Babu, and other comrades in the battlefield; if he is a normal person, he will not still tirelessly write to Jenny in the military life; if he If he is a normal person, he will not catch shrimps and become rich according to Babu’s last wishes; if he is a normal person, he will not be able to stand Jenny’s departure and may give up on herself; if he is a normal person, he will not be moved. Lieutenant Dan. But he is an idiot, and just because he is an idiot, others show sincere feelings in front of him, and there is no deceit from me. There is also a classic line in the last film: lifewaslikeaboxofchocolate, youneverknowwhatyougonnaget...... (Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know which flavor you will get.) I believe that the flavor contained in A-Gump's box of chocolates need not be normal There are few people, and it is not completely sweet, but these sweet and bitter chocolates can melt into the sweetness of Forrest Gump's tongue...
