"Life is like all kinds of chocolate, you never know which one belongs to you." Forrest Gump's mother often said this to Forrest Gump, we can also know from this: everyone's life path exists. , Forrest Gump stepped on the miracle of his own life step by step. In stark contrast to Forrest, Janney, who was kicked out of school, sang naked, was on the cover of "Flower-Pair-Boy-Son", and roamed with hippies. In the film, at that time, there were hippie shadows like Jenny everywhere, but they always existed as a group, but Forrest Gump was different, he always existed as an individual, running alone in the audience's mind , ran through the same following as a child and became a fast-paced man, ran through the football field of the university and became a football star, ran through the hail of bullets in the Vietnam battlefield and became a hero, and then solved the racial conflicts caused by the accident. conflict. In the film, he takes us viewers through 30 years as an ordinary man with a low IQ, and plays an important role in each of the pivotal moments of history.

Forrest Gump was loyal, so when he was out of danger alone in the Vietnam War, he still ran back to the jungle to find his comrades. He kept his word, he promised his comrade Bubba to buy a shrimp boat together, but when Bubba died, he fulfilled his last wish for him in the incredible eyes of others, and also won huge wealth for himself. He is persistent, so he will run for three years after Jenny left, across the entire United States, and he will not stop, he tells you, he just wants to run, he uses running to measure life, it does not need peace and freedom or anything high-sounding for reason. He was friendly, and after he saved the life of the lieutenant, the lieutenant who lost his legs was always ashamed that he couldn't die in battle and still survived as a maimed body, and was angry because a lieutenant was such a person: he He regards honor above all else, and he can't stand the ordinary. It was Forrest Gump who used kindness to regain his confidence in life, and made him discover that even without legs, life can still be full of vitality.

Forrest Gump does not have lofty ideals, and he has lost a lot. He has few friends. He is always laughed at by smart people. His favorite mother and Jenny have left him one after another... But he didn't sink because of this, Love is still going on, he still has his own child, a smart little Forrest Gump, his life is still going on, he is not smart, but he always knows how to make life full of hope. So he also won honor, wealth, and love, things that ordinary people may never have at the same time.
