A Film Named Forrest Gump
|
This afternoon, I saw the film Forrest Gump for the the third time, and once again I felt impressed by it. Now, even at this very time, I'm reviewing every scene of the film and you know what? The memories on my mind are so fresh that I believe it will definitely exist for a long time. The reviews of the film on the Internet are so scattered due to its popularity and reputation owned all over the world. Everybody has his own unique opinion, but I still want to express my own little understanding of it just because I like it, even can say, love it.
Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get. This saying was said by Forrest Gump, which was orginated from his great mother. I said it to my students when I was a teaching assistant in an English Week. When I said it to them, one of my students asked me, "Garfield, do you believe that my dream will true?" Her dream was being a dancer, but she was confused because she thought she couldn't balance between her interest and study. I smiled, looked into her beautiful eyes, and said,"Do you believe in yourself? Miracles happen everyday, just like you and me.I happened to be here and happened to meet you and know you. I don't know what I'm going to experience, but I grab it and thank it. Only by stepping out the first step and moving on can you know what your own chocolate is." For so many days and nights, I've come to realize how much of my feelings I owe to my acceptance of this very sentence as one of my values. Thank Forrest Gump.
When mentioning this, the image of Forrest Gump jumps into my mind. A pure, honest, loyal, sincere, brave, unlucky earlier but lucky later, simple and natural man is standing before my eyes. I have to admit that even so many adjectives cannot give full expression of such a cute guy. Forrest Gump is an unfortunate person, for he has lower IQ and the muscle problem, but instead he has achieved lots of incredible success, or we can say he has done many wonders. He is a football star, a war hero, an ambassador of Sino-U.S.relation and later on, a millionaire! Forrest Gump is a good man because he has an infinite deep love for Jenny. He is not smart, but he knows what love is. He doesn't know why Jenny leaves him time and time again, but he loves her; he doesn't know why Jenny is willing to lead a wandering life all over the country, but the only thing he knows is protecting her. All of those are just because Jenny, the first one inviting him to sit down next to her, is the one of his whole life. Forrest Gump is lucky, because Jesus loves him more than he will know. God gives him a completely different life, a great mother, two dearest friends and finally, a golden love. That's enough, I think. Many people owned the gift given from God in their early time, but they just abandoned it because they thought something much better was waiting for them. They didn't cherish it but ignored it. After many years' fight against the fate, they've come to realize how important the gift is, but unfortunately, it's gone and never be found back. Actually, like Forrest Gump, the happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
On writing this, I feel like I'm becoming a bird flying far far away into the blue sky. I can't believe this, but it really is. I feel I've had a bright and new look about everything. My heart is full of vim and vigour; my face is glowing with happiness and health. Quotation from Forrest Gump,"It was like just before the sun goes to bed down on the bayou. There was a million sparkles on the river."
P.S. The melody of the film is marvellous. It's like a breeze caressing the cheeks, a ribbon kissing your eyes and a willow-catkin pleasing your heart.
So do watch it!
