I fell in love with Hanks because of this film, but I'm ashamed that I wasn't old enough to understand it the first time I saw it. The casual conversation with strangers on the train changed my initial naive understanding of the film.

I spent too much time in school, learned too much formalism, and took a tonality about everything. In fact, what this film wants to tell us is what Forrest Gump's mother told Forrest Gump: to be full of confidence in life, there will be different novelties every day.

He's not smart, with an IQ of only 75, but that doesn't affect him at all. Even, it is because of his simplicity, pure kindness, and some sincere obsessions that he has achieved achievements that many ordinary people cannot compare to. His naive and simple view of this complex world made me wonder if I was thinking too much.

He has a valuable positive attitude towards life. In the era of unpredictable changes in the world he experienced, no matter when, no matter where he was, he was still the same, keeping his promises and fulfilling his promises. Through perseverance and hard work, he has broken out of his own world.

Running is what he does best. When he was a child, he kept running away to avoid the teasing of other classmates, and because of his amazing speed, he was admitted to the university exceptionally and became a football superstar, and was received by President Kennedy. When participating in the Vietnam War, he became a hero by carrying his comrades to escape the attack of artillery fire. In the end, it was his feat of running across the United States that made him famous again.

But his life was by no means just running. Running is just an intuitive manifestation of an appearance, and it is the best representation of his persistence in life. Not only did he become famous for being a good runner, but he could accomplish other things as well. In order to fulfill the promise of his dead comrades, he did everything he could to go out to sea to catch shrimp, and finally established the well-known Bubba Gan company in the United States; just playing ping-pong because of his hobby made him witness the improvement of US-China diplomatic relations as a member of ping-pong diplomacy. an important historical event.

Forrest Gump's several successes in his life made each of us sigh, in fact, success is not far from us!

Jenny was Forrest Gump's best and only friend in his life. In three decades, he has become a sports star, a battlefield hero, a successful businessman, and a public icon, but there is one factor in his life that has never changed, and that is his love for Jenny.

They have been together since childhood. Jenny was the only classmate who helped and did not laugh at Forrest Gump, until at last Jenny died in front of him. Their attitude to life is a good contrast. Jenny always sees life as dim and gray, and is always immersed in self anesthesia. And Forrest Gump is full of faith at every moment, he believes that life is beautiful and achievable.

Eventually Jenny accepted him. No, it should be said that Jenny accepted him long ago, but did not choose him at first. As the film draws to a close, before Jenny is taken away by a fate of her own making, they are finally together. And Jenny was also influenced by Forrest Gump's unchanging optimism throughout his life. She died content and happy. And this satisfaction and happiness was something she had hoped for, she had deceived herself but couldn't get it, but she got it from Forrest Gump at the end of her life.

This is a life movie, but it definitely goes above and beyond the standard of a typical life movie. A recurring theme in the film exhorts people not to lose faith in life. Why give up a life that is unknown in the future?

Throughout the film, from the beginning to the end of Forrest Gump's narration, all the language is simple and lifelike. But it is touching and profound. In particular, we can see and appreciate the life wisdom of Forrest Gump's mother.

Life is a box of chocolates, Forrest. You never know what you're gone get.
