I have seen Forrest Gump for two times ,each time I saw it ,I was deeply inspired by the male leading character –Forrest Gump .Forrest Gump who is unfortunately to be born with a lower IQ and the muscle problem ,usually ,people always think this kind of people can’t successful in doing anything .But ,instead ,this unlucky man has achieved lots of incredible success ,he is a football star ,a war hero ,and later a millionaire .
The story follows the life of low IQ Forrest Gump and his meeting with the love of his life Jenny .The film chronicles his accidental experiences with some of the most important people and events in America from the late 1950’s through the 1970’s .
Forrest is born in an Alabama boardinghouse owner ,who tries to correct his posture by making him wear braces ,but never criticizes his mind .When Forrest is called “stupid” ,his mother tells him ,“stupid is as stupid does.” He turns out to be incapable of doing anything less than profound .Also ,when the braces finally fall from his legs ,it turns out he can run like the wind ,that’s how he gets a college football scholarship ,in a life story that everything becomes a running gag about his good luck .
There is a sentence I will not forget .“I am not a smart man ,but I know what love is .” Love is this film’s theme ,the love in this film is a process which a man with low IQ speaks out “love” .I think that Forrest doesn’t only say love to Jenny but also say to his mother and Buba .Because the love realized by Forrest includes many things ,not only heart ,the death of his mother and many times Jenny’s disappearance let Forrest know what love is .In fact ,no matter whether Jenney love Forrest ,Forrest gets love and we get love from this film .
