Forrest Gump

Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get.
I have heard about the film for many times, but I never watched it before i went to collage. in fact, before i watched ,i just cannot understand why everyone said it was a pretty good film though i have read many reviews. And then, I was moved by the film.
I think it is a film about time and life. it is about a memory of time, an attitude of life.
We all have our own dream. Maybe innocent or like day dream. When we grown up, we get to know that some dream can hard or never get true, and then, we dropt them, forget them. Like a warm afternoon, we awake from our dream, we think we have a good dream, but what we have dreamt on earth, we can hardly remember. and image a man, he is not very handsome, not very smart, not very rich, he even do not have health legs, it seems that god do not loves him, however, soon we see him, he is hardworking, bereave, kind, single-minded ,he maybe do not know what he want, but once he have a target, he will never give up. In fact, he is a disabled person when he was born, he seldom thinks life is like what for him——that is too heavy to him. He just remembers his mother told him: you have no difference between others. That is the truth we don not understand. We blame about everything when we in trouble, but fate is not the story we wrote , we can not let it go like we want, we must have try and try, until to the end. We think Gump not smart, but maybe, he is the smartest person that can catch the thing god gives. He is the redemption of we all. Like jenny ,like lieutenant Dan, like we all .sometimes, not life itself unfair, we just give up too early.
Jenny said: Forrest, you don't know what love is. in fact, I do not like jenny, I can not get understand her at first. It was a depraved time, she run after many things, to excite, to stimulate, to love, to dream. But she almost miss the most important things in her life——a man who loved her

    Of all the disturbances being listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR)1 only a few of them have not yet been portrayed in films. Cinema has certainly been fascinated by insanity and its manifestations, and psychiatric disorders have provided film directors and scriptwriters with a stream of material for their scripts, action, and themes. Taking that interest into account, it is necessary to reflect on the vision of mental disturbances that has been transmitted by cinema to the public in general. For most average citizens the only contact they may have with the psychiatric reality is through cinema; hence, films are their one - yet strong -…

    The two films I am going to get into depth with and compare is The Academy award winning drama Good Will Hunting, and also another Academy award winning film Mrs. Doubtfire, both starring the legend Robin Williams. In both the films Robin Williams plays an important supportive role and proves that he can make a difference. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon also play great lead and supporting roles where we can see the characters grow and have a great motivational connection with one another. Both films give a great theme, with support, family and relationships being a main focus. Each movie has characters going through struggles and later in the end overcoming them. A lot of lessons can be learned in each film, and many people can relate to them. Good Will Hunting has characters who deal with loss, abuse, and lack of self-confidence. Mrs. Doubtfire has family troubles, separation, and trust issues involved as well. Both movies are easily relatable and comparable to each other as well.…

No matter what, I still can say that this is a great movie with a great director's work and a lot of moments that really can be perceived in different ways. I think that this movie can not leave someone emotionally indifferent.…

    The 1950s, 60s, 70s, and 80s were a very important decades in American history. In the 1950s, there was the start of the Korean War, and many families were moving out of the cites and into the suburbs. The 1960’s were all about fighting for equality and brought a man to the moon. During the 1970’s the cold war was really taking its toll but the United States pulled out of the Vietnam War, and president Nixon resigned. In 1980, Ronald Reagan won the presidency over Jimmy Carter and although the cold war tensions were high laissez fair economics were introduced. No movie better exemplifies what happened in each of these decades better than Forrest Gump. This movie is filled with historical events and presents them in an exciting and entertaining way. In the movie Tom Hanks plays a man named Forrest Gump who finds himself in a variety of historical events that he can’t quite understand. He meets many famous people along the way; for example he taught Elvis Presley to dance, John Lennon was one of the guests on the show he appeared on, Forrest met three American Presidents, and was in the Vietnam War, where he received a Medal of Honor. He unknowingly was brought into an anti-war demonstration, where he made a simple speech and found his lost love, Jenny among the hundreds of protestors. He was the person who discovered The Watergate Scandal and Forest started trends like smiley faces. Forest Gump always seemed to be in the right place at the right time to make his mark in history.…

    The Social Cognitive process is demonstrated throughout the move as we watch her struggle in life. As Forrest becomes increasingly successful in most things he does. She admires him so much and deeply cares for him as a friend. They remain in contact in high school and periodically throughout life. She reaches out during some of her more desperate times or runs into him as fate would have it. Forrest asks Jenny to marry him, however, she replies, “You don’t want to marry me”. I speculate that she compares her life to his and therefore feels beneath him, and that he deserves better than herself. He replies that he may be stupid but he knows what love is and in fact does want to be with her. Later that night she slips into his room and they make love. Early in the morning however, she leaves without a word. It is possible that she felt like she made a mistake and did not want to drag him down with her.…

    The word possibilities, hopes, dream have been lost for me; they are out my dictionary. I am a silent smile. I know there is more in life I can do like finding my career, finishing high school, going to college. That is what many parents want us to do but have they ever told us to hey I want you to fail so you can succeed, live your life, do something great today, change someone’s life, hey let’s not go to school and let’s do a memorable day. No right because those are reckless ideas. I might as well be a reckless person because I want to see life as fucked up one but I can’t because the thing is it has good, it has bad and it’s not really fucked up its just life. Life itself can be warm and cold place it’s just the way you live it. If some reason you don’t live as a failure than I promise you will not be a winner, successful or great. You will be lost in darkness, curiosity, and time.…
