forrest gump-truly meaningful

Rating: Null/10 (11 December 2005)

although many people thought that forrest gump was boring and were frustrated by forrest's simpleness, this movie is actually a great source of symbolism of how simpleness can lead to happiness. As viewed in certain religions, such as daoism, simpleness is the way to truth and understanding of how the world works.
Forrest gump never tried to change things, and never had egotistic and meddlesome efforts to turn something into something else. This made his live simple and care-free, and ideal life style. Whenever he gained something, he did not take advantage of it or try to manipulate its powers. Instead, he accepted it, and if it happened to leave his hands, did not ponder over its departure. this attitude of life led him to be truly happy, something that is hard to do, even though it may not seem so. he never stopped loving, even though his friend from childhood took twists and turns and they grew their separate ways. It was a very touching movie. he took things as they came, never stopped loving,was truly happy, and that,therefore makes him one of the wisest human beings.
