God is a being that is too magical to explain and incomprehensible. That day, instead of turning the girl into a bird, he brought the police. From that day on, the girl no longer lived with her father, but went to her grandmother's house, which was very close to her friend's house. Her friend's name is Forrest Gump, and she's Jenny. Jenny of Forrest. They are each other's most special and only friends.
When Forrest Gump with an IQ of 75 was bullied, Jenny told Forrest Gump "Run! Run! Don't stop". Forrest Gump ran like this, got rid of the heavy braces on his feet, straightened his curved back, ran into college, ran to Vietnam, and ran across the entire United States. It turns out that running can also be a way of life. It turns out that life can be as simple as just running.
Jenny's life was never as simple as his friend's. She is no longer a young girl living in the shadow of violence and unable to protect herself, but in the face of life, all she does is still flee. She has been fleeing, betraying, fleeing from her father's violence, fleeing a strictly disciplined women's university. She dreams of singing on the stage, but she can only be harassed by unfamiliar men in vulgar clubs; she falls in love with different men, follows them, quarrels again and again, and gets hurt.
Is life betraying her, or is she betraying life, who abandoned whom? However, there is only one person, there is always one person, who taught those men a lesson for her with fists, comforted her with chocolate, waited for her in the heavy rain, wrote to her, and always loved him. This man is her best friend, Forrest. In his heart, Jenny has always been the little girl who gave up her seat on the school bus to him, the little girl who sat on the branch with him and didn't want to go home. She was as beautiful as an angel.
At the most helpless moment, Jenny thought about death. She stepped onto the narrow windowsill on her slender heels. Underneath is the grand prosperity of the metropolis that never closes. Gently step or jump, it becomes a fall. The fall of destruction, or, the fall of rebirth. It's just that life has never been so easy to enlighten people. Despair is not a state that everyone can experience. In the end, she just cautiously stepped down from the window sill and survived.
Years later, long after leaving, Jenny returned to the place where she tried to escape, to the only person who gave her warmth. Like the good old days of childhood, she and her friend Forrest Gump are together all day, from dusk to dawn. She changed back to that little girl, and ran away from her grandmother's house because she was afraid, ran to Forrest Gump's room, and hugged him tightly. It's just Forrest Gump, the smartest fool, he must understand Jenny's deep sadness.
Running away is her destiny. Jenny said goodbye again and left again. She is no longer the hippie girl who keeps playing games of betrayal and betrayal with her life. Like her friend, she lived an ordinary life with flat shoes clinging to the earth, and her young son. Forrest Gump's son. It's just that God never seemed to satisfy him, starting from that unfulfilled childhood desire to fly.
But, perhaps, God was merciful, and gave her the pain, but let her go back to her friend, let her spend the last time of her life in the original place. Almost all the bright happy sweet days of her life have been associated with this dear smart fool with an IQ of 75. I always think that Jenny is happy because there is always someone who loves her. And Forrest Gump is also happy. Because there is love in his heart.
I can't remember the first time I watched "Forrest Gump", and every time I watched it, I cried and laughed like a fool. But this time, I felt the pain at the very beginning, for Jenny, Jenny of Forrest Gump. Therefore, in this episode, we do not pay attention to the storytelling skills of directing, do not talk about Elvis, Monroe, do not count how many American presidents appear in the film, do not narrate those hidden historical events. Although, I am well aware that those can be used as bragging rights.
Because, despite all this, what I saw was a girl's cruel youth and difficult growth. For each individual life, what is life like? The answer is blowing in the wind.
