Before watching the movie, I glanced at the introduction, and then I figured out the idea of ​​the composition, which is probably youth, inspiration, positive energy, etc. However, when I watched it, I realized that it was not the case at all.

The film mainly tells the story of the growth of a boy with a congenital intellectual disability, Forrest Gump, who finally achieved outstanding achievements in many fields. However, the process is full of incredible: Elvis was boarding at Forrest Gump's house, and Forrest Gump played the melody to Forrest Gump. The body twisted with it, and after a few years Forrest Gump saw Elvis imitating his movements on TV and became very popular; Forrest Gump was not mentally enough to enter the school when he entered the school, and Forrest Gump was allowed to go to bed with the principal. Go to school; Forrest Gump's congenitally ill legs are miraculously healed, and he can run faster than everyone around him, so he entered college to become a football player; Forrest Gump was called to play table tennis and discovered an amazing talent in this area. Later, he became a hero of China-US ping pong diplomacy; when he encountered an ambush in Vietnam, the team was almost wiped out, but Forrest Gump was only slightly injured, and he went in and out of the battlefield many times to rescue his wounded teammates; Gan people and boats are all right; Forrest Gump is in business and directly becomes a billionaire...A movie with these plots is an inspirational movie? What is the difference between Shuangwen and Netease? It would be more realistic for a short, poor and ugly fat woman to suddenly fall in love with a domineering president.

In addition to talking about Forrest Gump's career, the movie also has a main line of Forrest Gump's emotions, the most important of which is the history of his relationship with Jenny. When Forrest Gump went to school for the first time as a child, no one wanted to sit next to him on the school bus because of his leg disability and intellectual disability, except for Jenny. Jenny is also an unfortunate child. Her father sexually abused her since she was a child. Perhaps because of their unfortunate experiences, they became very close. And as Jenny grew up, perhaps the despicable character inherited from her beast father was gradually exposed. Jenny wanted to be a star. For this reason, she published photos in sex magazines during college, so she was dropped out of school. And her debauchery had a little reward - she was spotted by a boss and became a singer in a bar. When Forrest Gump went to the bar to find her, he saw Jenny singing naked on the stage, the audience kept booing, and even a nearby audience directly reached out and touched Jenny. Get up, and Jenny is also unemployed. Then Jenny asked Forrest Gump not to look for her again, and went to other places, even more depraved, such as taking drugs, and wanted to commit suicide for a time, and Forrest Gump also went to Vietnam. After returning, Forrest Gump was very rich. One day, Jenny suddenly appeared in front of Forrest Gump, and then lived with Forrest Gump. After a few days, Jenny left without saying goodbye. A few years later, Jenny wrote Forrest Gump to tell him his address, so Forrest Gump came to see her and saw that there was another child in her family. Jenny told Forrest Gump that Forrest Gump was the father of the child, and He was terminally ill, entrusted the child to Forrest Gump and spent the last time of his life with Forrest Gump. So it is not difficult for us to find that the child is not Forrest Gump. Jenny was already pregnant when she went to Forrest Gump last time. Forrest Gump has always been in love with Jenny, but Jenny is using Forrest Gump, she is a total scheming green tea bitch.

So, if this movie is an inspirational movie, then do we want to learn from Forrest Gump and wait for the pie to fall from the sky, or learn from Jenny and go out while young and finally find an honest person to take over?
