The world will never be the same once you’ve seen it through the eyes of Forrest Gump.
The movie opens with Forrest sitting at a bus stop, waiting to go see Jenny who has been apart from him for years. He strikes up a conversation or two with the people coming and waiting for the bus with him. To be precise, he keeps talking regardless of whether there is somebody listening or not.
When they are in high school, Forrest joins in the Rugby team and gets to go to college. They never date, but he’s always there to protect her. Anytime he thinks she’s in trouble, he rushes to help out, ready to beat anyone who believes his Jenny is wrong.
After Forrest grows up and goes through school, college, the army and the Vietnam War, he becomes a Ping-Pong celebrity, a shrimp boat captain and eventually one of the richest men out there. He also experiences the most important critical events in America history from late 1950s until the early 1980s. He meets three American Presidents, he’s the man who exposes the Watergate Scandal, and he’s at the school door when Governor George Wallace tries to get some Negroes into a white school. All these are imprinted in the Forrest’s memories.
After watching this film, I feel life is a journey on which there are countless miracles ahead for us to create. A great movie it is. And you couldn’t have seen a movie any better.
