Stupid is as Stupid Does

I have heard about this film a long time ago, but no chance to have a look at until now. This film is funny, moved, and thoughtful. I learned a lot again.

Anytime people ask him “are you stupid or something?”. His answer is always “stupid is as stupid does.”. The answer seems funny but if we think deeply then we can get something from this---we just do what we should and what we can afford. That is enough. Do not try to push us at the peak. Sometimes, we may never get to the peak in our life. Yes, since I am in the university, I begin to get to know the reality. I know if I force myself to purchase something that I can deserve, I will be badly hurt and tied. There is a Chinese saying—if you do not have a big head, do not try to wear a big hat. We just do something within our abilities. This is enough. And we do not need to pretend how competent we are or how excellent we are. To be honest to show ourselves is ok. However, it is always easier said than done. So I stop saying now.

Then what his mama tell him often is also classical---life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you are going to get. Life is wonderful. We can guest what will happen next. So that means we have to use the same feeling and attitude to face any difficulties. But the life of Forrest Gump is too colorful and unrealized. I admire his insistence his keeping his promise, but it seems that the story is not so true. But film is film. There are always something unimaginable and something we can reach.

Though there are many plots make us deep in though, you may get some fun from it.

His IQ is lower than us, but he is actually smarter than most of us when facing life.

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
