a movie to affect your outlook on life

Rating: 10/10 (14 April 2006)

If there should be a movie for you to remember in a lifetime and to learn everything about life when in confusion or when disappointed by the surrounding world, it would definitely be Forrest Gump, which speaks for an optimistic and innocent outlook on life whatever seems bothering happened around. On the contrary the "clever" people live every day under pressure or feeling of loneliness, longing for the age of innocence, singing "yesterday, all my trouble seems so far away...", when Forrest says "life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get" and steadily moves on,achieving the true meaning of life. Besides, I was deeply moved by three scenes in this masterpiece,which I'd like to share. The first is Forrest's shouting "I want Bubba!" The second is when Forrest asked his dying mother about his destiny, and she for the last time said "life is like a box of chocolates, Forrest, you never know what you're gonna get." And the third, also the most touching scene occurs when AIDS-infected Jenny said to Forrest: I wish I could have been with you then" and the answer came from Forrest as "You were." Most unexpected and powerful. All in all, Forrest Gump is one of my favourite of all time, and I would commend it to everybody.
