Forrest Gump

There is a huge difference between very bad movies and

very good ones. That?s because films can be on either side

of the quality scale. A good movie has the ability to

burrow deep into the subconscious, with unpredictable and

occasional remarkable results. A great work of art can

cause euphoria, touch a deep emotional chord, or, in rare

cases effect fundamental changes in a persons outlook on

life. A movie that can do all of the above and more is

Forrest Gump. Forrest Gump is a movie with a great cast, a

good moral lesson and a refreshing outlook on life.

Forrest Gump has a great cast including two times Oscar

winner Tom Hanks, Sally Fields, and Robin Wright. In this

movie We have a special bond with Tom Hanks which plays

Forrest Gump. We saw him in Big go from a boy to a man in a

result of an ill-advised wish at the carnival. Now we see

him play that innocent boy again. In some ways, Forrest

Gump represents a return to the theme of his earlier movie.

In this case, the main character(Tom Hanks) remains a child

in heart and spirit, even as his body grows to maturity.

Sally Fields plays Forrest Gump?s mother, who runs a

boarding house in Greenbow, Alabama. Robin Wright plays the

adult part of Jenny Curran, Forrest?s best friend and the

love of his life. Jenny is never far from Forrest?s

thoughts, no matter what he is doing or where he is. There

are many other secondary actors that help create the magical

moments of the movie.

There is nothing better than a movie that reaffirms our

morals and Forrest Gump does exactly this. Forest Gump goes

from a star football player, a war hero, a successful

business man to something of a pop icon. During his thirty

year period we see him give back to the community. He never

forgets his friends and always helps them out in every way

possible. He puts the safety of others before his, like we

see in the war scene, when he keeps coming back for the

others even when it meant putting his life in danger. It

reminds us that we should sometimes put others before

ourselves. This movie also helps us to remember that we

have to do things for the love of doing them not only for

the money, like in one of the scenes when Forrest has become

a millionaire but keeps cutting grass because he loves doing

it.

Forrest Gump has several messages that help us refresh

out outlook on life, some of which are less obvious than

others. But the most frequently recurring theme is an

admonition not to give up on life. Forrest shows us how the

passage of time brings solace to even the most embittered

hearts. His innocence comes through a limited understanding

of the world around him and gives him a uniquely positive

perspective on life. Forrest has a trio of assets that is

above average lifestory drama: his optimism, freshness, and

emotional honesty. Though the movie does not seek to reduce

every member of the audience to tears, it has moment whose

power come from their simplicity. Equally as important then

those powerful moments is the laughter to refresh our

outlook on life.
