abstract

Forrest Gump is an imbecile with an IQ of only 75. In order to avoid being bullied by other children at school, I listened to a friend Jenny and began to "run". He ran to avoid being teased by others. When he was in middle school, he ran into a school football field to avoid others, so he ran into the university. Forrest Gump was admitted as a football superstar and received by President Kennedy.

After graduating from college, Forrest Gump enlisted in the army and went to Vietnam. There, he has two friends: Buba, who is keen on catching shrimp, and Captain Deng Taylor, an awesome police officer. By this time, Jenny had fallen and lived a dissolute life. Forrest Gump has always loved Jenny, but Jenny doesn't love him. After the war, Forrest Gump was received by President Johnson as a hero. At a peaceful meeting, Forrest Gump met Jenny again. They met in a hurry and broke up in a hurry. Under the guidance of the creed of "keeping your word", Forrest Gump finally broke into a sky of his own. In his life, he met many famous Americans. He denounced the eavesdropper of Watergate and went to China as a member of the American table tennis team, which made great contributions to the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States. Elvis Presley and John Lennon, two music superstars, also created many popular songs through their association with him. Finally, Forrest Gump became an entrepreneur by catching shrimp. To commemorate Bubba's death, he founded Bubba Gump Company, gave half of the shares of the company to Bubba's mother, and became a gardener himself. Forrest Gump has gone through various historical periods of changeable world, but no matter when, where and with whom, he is still pure and kind.

In seclusion, he often misses Jenny. At this time, Jenny has already gone astray and fallen into despair. Finally one day, Jenny came back. She lived with Forrest Gump for a while. One night, Jenny fell into Forrest Gump's arms and left quietly at dawn. Forrest Gump woke up and sat on the bench in front of the door, and then suddenly began to run. He traveled all over America and became a celebrity again.

After running for a long time, Forrest Gump stopped and began to return to his hometown. On the way, I received a letter from Jenny. He went to see her at once. While waiting at the bus stop. Forrest Gump told others about his previous experience. So he saw Jenny again, and a little boy, his son. At this time, Jenny got an incurable disease. Forrest Gump and Jenny went back to their hometown together and had a happy time together. Jenny died and their son was old enough to go to school. Forrest Gump put his son on the school bus and sat on the bench at the bus stop to recall his life experience.

Film evaluation

The kindness and warmth shown in the film touched the best things in the hearts of the audience, showing good feelings such as honesty, trustworthiness, seriousness, courage and affection. Forrest Gump is portrayed as the embodiment of virtue in this film. He is honest, trustworthy, earnest, brave and attaches importance to feelings. He only knows how to pay for others without expecting anything in return, and never mind others' rejection. He just faces life with an open mind and an open mind. He concentrated his only wisdom, belief and courage on one point. He doesn't care about anything, just keeps running on the road by instinct.

The story is tortuous and vivid, the picture is beautiful and bright, the actors are vivid and the theme is profound and inspirational. Tom Hanks, the leading actor, vividly portrayed Forrest Gump and touched countless fans. Winning the Oscar for Best Actor in that year was a high recognition of his acting skills. In addition to outstanding performances, celebrities such as Elvis Presley and the late President Kennedy also appeared in the film. These highlights were realized by the extremely advanced CGI technology of visual effects at that time, which proved that the film production was of high technical content.

Film significance

The uniqueness of this film lies in that it reaffirms the old morality and social subject culture, promotes the mainstream ideology of the United States in the 1960s, and denies other avant-garde new cultures. I think it is based on this that it can win the hearts of the American people (robert zemeckis Review).

Forrest Gump's image subverts the hero image in the normal world, runs counter to the traditional concept and has a strong anti-tradition and anti-mainstream color. What he saw, heard, said and did is not only very representative, but also a direct explanation of history. This visual metaphor is vividly implied in the first shot of the film: a feather flies across houses and roads, and finally falls at Forrest Gump's feet, elegant but unremarkable, casual and inevitable. Tom Hanks transformed Forrest Gump from a historical projection into a real, flesh-and-blood person. Forrest Gump is a young child who occupies an adult's body, a saint-level fool, an ordinary person who transcends the truth and a nobody who represents national personality.
