Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) was born in a small town in Alabama in the south of the United States shortly after the end of World War II. He was born with mental retardation and had an IQ of only 75. However, his mother was a strong woman who often Encourage Forrest Gump to "stupid people have stupid blessings" and ask him to keep improving.
Forrest Gump went to school like an ordinary child, and met his lifelong friend and beloved Jenny (Robin Wright Penn). Stop running.
Forrest Gump became a football superstar, Vietnam War hero, ping pong diplomat, and a billionaire. However, he never forgot Jenny. Several hasty reunions and partings deepened Forrest Gump's thoughts.
Sometimes, I really envy that Forrest Gump is just a fool, I don't need to think so much, and I don't think so much. Simple people have simple happiness, work hard, and love their sweetheart deeply. No matter what happens tomorrow, what kind of chocolate it will be, it will not affect his appetite and mood.
Simple, maybe this is the way to face it all, but who can really do it? What's the point of simplicity if it's just for simplicity's sake?
