   Life is like a box of chocolates, Forrest. You never know what you're gonna get!---Forrest Gump

      A dream which the film reaches us is the charm of the film,someone said 《Forrest Gump》 is a comedy dream,and someone said《Forrest Gump》 has a colour of staire… Today we don’t talk about American politics and history.I only want to talk something about human nature in the film.

Key Words:    HOPE     DESTINY     LOVE 

HOPE

       In this film,I have to say Forrest Gump is a lucky dog.Because although all of his action are unconscious and lack of thinking opinion, everytime he can get a good result—a footballstar,a war hero,a richer…why?Out of question,it’s hope,and that is one of many issues which this film want to tell us.

       Inside Forrest’s heart,hope is equal to running and the box of chocolate─you never know what you’are gonna get.

       When the first time Jenny asked Forrest to run away and the first time Forrest freed himself from the bondage,hope had been growing up in his mind.And later,the death of his mother and the Jenny’s disappearance once again disappointed him.For searching his hope back,he began to run and the running lasted three years.At this moment,I think,he has already taken running for his hope.Like his words,“I just felt like running.”

       And what is the Jenny’s hope?In fact,the beginning of the film has already told us—she prayed that she can turn to a bird,flying higher and higher.But at last ,she lost herself.

       I think this is a clever point in the film,— the hopes are good for our life or bad for our life.

       The answer to this question I still looking for…

DESTINY

 
       To face destiny,this film has three kinds figure represent three attitudes.Forrest’s mother represent believer, Captain Dan represent suspicious men,Jenny represent rebel.
      

       Forrest’s mother in bed told Forrest:“It’s something we’re all destined to do.I didn’t know,but I was destined to be your momma.I did the best I could.”
      

       And Captain Dan at the beginning believed his destiny strongly,but after many things he started to doubt his destiny.In rainstorm,he roared:“Where the hell’s this God of yours?” He didn’t believe God any longer.His action showed that this kind of men are in a puzzle ─Does the destiny exist on earth? 

       Jenny,as a rebel,has been rebeling her ordinary living all the time—turning on the cover of 《Play Boy》 ,singing in the bar…She symbolises the rising generation in this American period.They rebeled this society and the destiny forced by tradition.But,this rebel tired in the end,and she choosed died calmly in Forrest’s arms.

       Forrest,who watches from outside,tolds us the film’s issue:

“I don’t know if we each have a destiny,or if we’re all just floating around accidental-like on a breeze,but I think maybe it’s both.Maybe both is happening at the same time.I miss you,Jenny.If there’s anything you need,I won’t be far away. ”

       Maybe destiny is like that feather,which has no concrete direction ,and the ordinary experience tired us.However,any turning is controlled by themselves freely,there’s one thing you must do─do your dest.

LOVE

“I’m not a smart man,but I know what love is.”

       Love is film’s eternal theme .We give our tears and laughter generously.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 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 Jenny love Forrest, Forrest gets love and we get love from this film.

   Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way...
