Live like Forrest Gump

A few days ago, when I lived like Forrest Gump , I
revisited the movie classic "Forrest Gump", but I was deeply moved before it was too late.
Although the whole movie is very dramatic in terms of transfer and connection (for example, in the movie, Forrest Gump was chased by his classmates and chased to the football field during the game), this kind of drama made me understand, although it is not a real person. A biography is just a movie, but the spiritual meaning and moral standards given by the director can make me think and experience it for a lifetime.
1. Forrest Gump has his own specialties.
When he was a child, because of the problem of his legs and his stupid appearance, people around him thought he was an idiot, but when he started school, he had a girlfriend Jenny, who he loved all his life. His girlfriend told Forrest Gump to run away when he was bullied and beaten by his classmates. With this call, Forrest Gump is destined to "run" non-stop all his life. In the process of fighting against the classmates who bullied him, Forrest Gump's only way was to run, and he ran at the fastest speed, thus surpassing the original speed day by day. It is because of this kind of "escape" that Forrest Gump is achieved. He escaped the pursuit of his classmates by running, and he also entered the football team and won many games on the field by running. He saved a lot of comrades on the battlefield and won the medal. He got rid of the biggest confusion in his life by running (that was when his girlfriend Jenny left him) and led the movement of mass running to regain his girlfriend's attention. .
In the process of growing up in our life, we will always encounter many obstacles. If we can't get over them, we may leave many shadows or will continue to be obstacles to our progress in the future; if we can be like Agana By breaking free of those obstacles like the iron hoops trapped in our legs, we will be one step closer to success. Overcoming obstacles, forging our strengths, and using our strengths to achieve the achievements and life we ​​want.
2. Focus and perseverance
Forrest Gump is dedicated and persevering throughout his life, whether it is dealing with love or career.
On the road of love, Forrest Gump has only loved one woman, Jenny. No matter whether Jenny stayed with him, left him for a time, avoided him or even went with other men, he never gave up his love for Jenny. Forrest Gump's single-mindedness in love is touching, making people feel how great it is to be able to use all of his heart to love only one woman from the moment of encounter, from childhood to death, and it may also be a kind of brilliance of human nature. In reality, such men should be said to be rare or extinct, but the director gave me the thought, are we worth doing this? Does love need such fidelity? Such true and pure love comes from the deepest part of our hearts, and it should also be what we should respect. In fact, there are many spiritual qualities in many places in the whole film. Forrest Gump should make people feel very stupid and stupid in front of reality, but Forrest Gump's spirit is actually worthy of human respect, although we do not necessarily change because of this. The essence of our life, but at least it can save many fallen souls in this world.
For his career, Forrest Gump is equally focused and persistent: in his studies, stupid Forrest Gump persisted until he finished college and got good grades; he treated a small table tennis ball that was just for play at first, and he focused on it. The spirit of play is superb, so that he was admitted to the national team and participated in the friendly game between China and the United States; after he was discharged from the army, he fulfilled his commitment to a comrade-in-arms with persistent faith - buy a boat to catch shrimp and open a shrimp dumpling shop. , After wind and rain, he finally succeeded, and with the help of his comrades-in-arms and friends, he achieved success in other industries, and obtained money that could not be spent in his life.
In the pursuit of life, what we lack is often this kind of concentration and perseverance, so our dreams are not getting closer to us day by day, but getting further and further away from us day by day. Work hard, focus, be persistent, and get a little closer to your dream.
3. Forrest Gump's candor
Forrest Gump lives very frankly. He admits that he is stupid, but he is not unhappy because of it. Instead, he uses his own reality to change and develop himself to overcome his shortcomings. When Forrest Gump faced the crowd, he did not hide it with a sincere attitude, and even once when the president issued a medal for his military exploits, when the president asked him where his war wounds were, he took off his pants in public. Showing the wound on his butt, no taboo. People always have two sides, our advantages sometimes turn into disadvantages, and our disadvantages turn into our own advantages; when we gain, we are losing, and when we lose, we are gaining. Forrest Gump was in the car on the first day of school when he was a child. Because of the disgust of other classmates, he had known Jenny since the first day of school. Firmness and perseverance contributed to his success.
In reality, people sometimes inevitably have to have some harmless hypocrisy, and can be as straightforward as Forrest Gump, but it is our desire to see a true self, a true self.
4. Forrest Gump's loneliness and strength
In the film, Forrest Gump should be lonely in his heart, especially the adult Gump. Forrest Gump was weak when he was a child. Although he was bullied by his classmates and threatened by the outside world, he had his girlfriend Jenny at this time. I think that Forrest Gump at this time should not be lonely - at least he has his own deepness in his heart. The company of a loved one. After becoming an adult Forrest Gump, Jenny left him for a time, and Jenny walked farther and farther away from Forrest Gump in the secular world until she understood her love for Forrest Gump and returned - but at that time, she felt deeply guilty of Forrest Gump and will soon. leave this world. The grown-up Forrest Gump has been silently enduring Jenny's one-time departure by himself, and has always maintained his love for Jenny, no matter whether she is by his side or left him. When Jenny left Forrest Gump again after spending the night with him, Forrest Gump fell into the worst confusion at the time, but he used three years of personal and lonely long-distance running to gradually clear his mind during the running process. , while the miserable and confused people around him joined him in his long-distance running in their attention (the director may have heralded a movement of spiritual leaders here). It is this kind of long-distance running, it is this long-term silent endurance that shows Forrest Gump's strength and perseverance. That is Forrest Gump after adulthood, and he is also a male Forrest Gump who can withstand the torture of responsibility and love. Perhaps this is the difference between children and adults. After Jenny passed away, when Forrest Gump stood in front of Jenny's grave and confided to Jenny with tears, the Forrest Gump at this time was the Forrest Gump who had experienced the vicissitudes of life, and his spiritual world was fuller and more complete.
5. Forrest Gump is weak and strong
When he was a child, Forrest Gump was weak. As Forrest Gump grew up, Forrest Gump gradually became stronger. Forrest Gump's escape from the iron hoops tangled in his legs was a strong start, and his success in business was another strong start. Every successful process of Forrest Gump is actually a process from weak to strong, no matter from the spiritual aspect or from the material basis.
Sometimes life is as weak as an ant, sometimes it seems so fragile and helpless, helpless, then let us become strong, whether it is spiritually or materially, let us become strong, that is the Whole we are is the adult world.
6. Forrest Gump's Son
The film injects a factor at the end - Forrest Gump's son. When I saw his son, I seemed to be deeply moved. I don't know why the director injected this element at this moment. Perhaps only Forrest Gump who has "offspring" is the completeness of his life, the perfection in the eyes of ordinary people, and that is also the beautiful outcome of the film and the outcome of life that people expect. Some beauty and less sadness - since Forrest Gump can no longer have his girlfriend Jenny to accompany him, let him have a son to accompany him through his death. The "offspring" is a good expectation, and is the Forrest Gump of the next generation, but the Forrest Gump of the next generation is definitely a healthy and intelligent Forrest Gump. As above, this is how I understand the ending of the film, and what if there is a different ending? If Jenny left after a night with Forrest Gump, Jenny was not pregnant with Forrest Gump's son, but Jenny died like that, would the end of the film turn into a kind of sadness and become a kind of flawed beauty—— —No matter how dedicated and persistently Forrest Gump has been in love and no matter how rich or successful Forrest Gump is, it will always make people feel regretful. After crying and laughing, I have the hope of my next generation. Even if I am old and lonely, my life is still happy. Perhaps in a broad sense, it also represents the hope of human beings. The ultimate goal of human beings is to reproduce their own children and grandchildren, hoping that they can live better on this earth.
There are still many things worth thinking about in the film "Forrest Gump". I hope that one day I can have more understanding of it, which is also a kind of understanding of my own life.
