I have never seen anyone like Forrest Gump in a movie before, so I have never seen a movie like Forrest Gump. Any attempt to describe him may make this movie look more convenient. Thanks, but let me try. I guess this is a comedy. Or a play. Or a dream.
Who is the screenwriter? Eric roth? It has the complexity of modern novels, not the formula of modern movies. Its protagonist, by? Tom Hanks is a very decent man with an IQ of 75. He participated in every major event in American history between 1950 and 1980. He survived, and only honesty and kindness served as his shield.
However, this is not a touching story about a man with mental retardation. This is not a warm-hearted story about mental retardation. That cubbyhole (originally a small room, implying the evaluation of the last sentence) is too small and limited for Forrest Gump. This film is more about the mediation of our times, through the eyes of a person who lacks cynicism and seeking truth from facts. Watch him carefully, and you will understand why some people are criticized as "* * too smart for half * *" Forrest Gump is very smart. "
Tom Hanks may be the only actor who can play this role.
After seeing how Hanks shaped Forrest Gump into such a noble and straightforward person, I can't think of anyone else who is Forrest Gump (in short, this performance is an amazing performance that balances comedy and sadness, in a story full of laughter and calm truth. His performance successfully balanced comedy and tragedy, and the story was full of laughter and silence. )
Forrest Gump's father is the owner of a boarding apartment in Alabama/(sally field). He tried to correct his posture by making Forrest Gump wear braces, but he never criticized Forrest Gump's ideas. When Forrest Gump was called an "idiot", his mother told him that "an idiot is an idiot", and Forrest Gump proved (as a result, it is impossible not to do something that cannot be proved. Besides, he can run like the wind when the bracket finally falls off his leg.
This is how he won a college football scholarship, and this is a life story that eventually became a joke of his good luck. The football hero Forrest Gump became the Vietnam War Medal of Honor winner Forrest Gump, followed by the table tennis champion Forrest Gump, the shrimp boat captain Forrest Gump, the millionaire stock holder Forrest Gump (who acquired shares in a new "fruit company" called Apple Computer), and Forrest Gump who traveled all over the United States and then retreated (in his footsteps).
It can be said that with his IQ of 75, Forrest Gump does not fully understand what happened to him. That's not true. He knows everything he needs to know, and the rest, suggested by the movie, is just superfluous. He even understood all the important things about love, although Jenny (subject), the girl he fell in love with in primary school and has never been lovelorn, told him, "Forrest Gump, you don't know what love is." By then, she was already a stripper.
The film takes his trip to modern American history as a rest. Director? Robert Zemeckis is experienced in the magic of special effects (his works include "Back to the Future" and "Who Framed Roger"). Here, he put Forrest Gump in the historical situation of real people with computerized visual magic.
Forrest Gump stood by the school gate with george wallace. He taught Elvis Presley how to swing his hips. He visited the White House three times. He appeared in Dick Carvey Show with John Lennon. He gave a speech at the Vietnam War peace rally in Washington Square. The authenticity of these scenes will open your eyes. Special effects are also used to create the role of Forrest Gump's friend Lieutenant Dan (gary sinise), who convincingly lost his legs.
Using carefully selected TV clips and dubbing, Ze Mikis may create some hilarious moments, such as LBJ examining the wound described by forest as "my ass cow". The biggest laugh in the movie comes from Nixon asking Forrest Gump's residence in Washington, and then recommending Watergate. (That's not laughing, it's just setting. ) With Forrest Gump's life becoming a straight arrow (traditional, upright and well-behaved) tour guide in the United States, Jenny (by? Robin wright) made a parallel trip against the mainstream culture. She went to California, of course, and then dropped out of school to listen to and turn on the TV. She likes psychedelic drugs and the power of flowers. ), anti-war rally (attending anti-war rally) and sex, drugs and needles. In the end, it is obvious that Forrest Gump and Jenny have passed all the milestones in our modern cultural history, and their final residence is like a dream of reconciliation in our society. What an amazing movie. This passage is mainly about Forrest Gump and Jenny. Although they have gone through the symbolic events of American culture and taken two different paths, they finally came together.

Since 1994 was released in the cinema in the summer, Forrest Gump has become one of these films that everyone seems to be familiar with. This is a touchstone of culture, and there is such a poem: "Life is a box. Chocolate (life is like a box of chocolates) "From T-shirts to greeting cards, you can enjoy it everywhere. The popularity of this film highlights its popularity. Through 1995 Oscar, he won six awards (including best film, director and actor "Big Three"). (1995 swept the Oscars and won six awards) Now, for its 20th anniversary, it is decided to do something that Hollywood has almost never done in the era of home video: re-release on the big screen.
How to make people go to the cinema to watch (or re-watch) Forrest Gump, but it is much easier to watch it at home? Enter the IMAX stunt. It would be dishonest to call it nothing vulgar/because there is no genetic reason/why Forrest Gump should be put on the big screen (or pseudo IMAX, depending on how people look at the smaller AMC version of the product). Despite this, despite commercial considerations, there is still a solemn feeling to watch this absurd story on a screen larger than an ordinary family room. IMAX format is a good way to attract some viewers to watch movies in the cinema while maintaining the original composition. //20th anniversary, IMAX came out, Forrest Gump, as a classic, it is worth going to the cinema to support.
The original comments are still valid today, because unlike the films made decades ago, this film doesn't seem to be out of date. It is durable. The following is what I wrote when the movie was first released 1994/:
Do you find life depressing? Will the struggle day after day drag you down? If there is, there is a movie outside that can be replied (supplement, replenish energy, refresh the outlook. Forrest Gump is full of passion and magic, and it is a tonic for mental fatigue (a tonic for tired souls). Going with the flow in a season of action movies is like walking in the desert, and the oasis is just ahead. )
Back in Tom Hanks, when his film career was relatively new, the actor made a film called Big Man, which tells the story of a little boy who was forced to grow up quickly because of an ill-considered (unwise) wish at the carnival. In some ways, Forrest Gump represents a return to the theme of early movies. In this case, the protagonist is still a child in heart and spirit, even if his body is mature. Hanks was once again asked to play the innocent.
Forrest Gump (Hanks), named after a civil war hero, grew up in Greenfield, Alabama, where his mother (sally field) runs a boarding house. Although Forrest Gump is a little "slow" (his IQ is 75, which is 5 lower than the state's definition of "normal"), his mental impression (incompleteness) doesn't seem to bother him, his mother, or his best (and only) friend Jenny Curran (played by robin wright as an adult). In fact, naivety comes from his limited understanding of the world around him, and he gives a unique positive perspective. In the next thirty years, Forrest Gump became a star football player, a war hero, a successful businessman and a pop idol. Anyway, after all this, there is a decisive factor in his life: his love for Jenny. No matter what he is doing or where he is, she will never be far away from his thoughts.
Three assets of Forrest Gump make it surpass the ordinary melo drama: its optimism, freshness and emotional honesty. Although this film doesn't try to make every audience cry, it has some moments of strength from its simplicity. Equally important and more relaxed, Forrest Gump also has humorous moments.
In the 1960s and 1970s, there was no topic that angered (angered) the turbulent national sentiment (shocked the national ideology) more than Vietnam and those who were sent to fight overseas. In the 1960s and 1970s, nothing shocked people more than the Vietnam War. Regarding the time spent there, he has a unique view: "We have walked a long way and have been looking for a guy named Charlie." This observation emphasizes the nature of the headline characters.
Through the miracle of visual effects, Forrest Gump met his fair share of celebrities-george wallace, President Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon, and John Lennon. Although it is not a seamless process to mix the real shots (images) of these celebrities with the new images featuring Hanks (who plays the leading role), the results are still effective. This is the pioneer of what is common in future movies, because the effect work used here has become exquisite. )
There are several messages in Forrest Gump, which one needs to dig deeper into the subtitle of Back to Earth. The most common theme is not to give up life. Why do you surrender when you don't know what is ahead? This film emphasizes this point by comparing Forrest Gump's life with the lives of people around him and by showing how the passage of time brings comfort to the most disgusting art. Compare the lives of others and Forrest Gump, and explain how time can comfort a cynical person.
Tom Hankswan 1994 won the Philadelphia Academy Award, but his performance here is more subtle. Together with Forrest Gump, he will become the second person to win the Oscar for Best Actor in a row, and with Spencer Tracy, he will be the one who missed Audrey Hepburn. I didn't know until I read this. The Alabama accent may seem awkward at first, but it didn't take long for the acting (but it won't take long for him to perform) to dwarf the nasal sound (v. What dwarf). Hanks created a human character without deception and fraud, and could hardly understand concepts like evil. Robin wright gave the best performance of her career, surpassing Playboy. She looks like a young Jessica Lange (an early American actress who won two Oscars). She is the object of Forrest Gump's eternal love. However, what is striking is gary sinise. As a famous stage director and actor (an actor in a stage play), Sinise is probably best known for his role as George in 1992' s of mice and men (he is also the director of this film). In this movie, his Liandan Taylor is driving the portal. The passion and pain he brought to portes in Forrest Gump combined the moments of some wearers in this film.
The movie soundtrack has all kinds of sounds of that era-maybe there are too many kinds. Usually, music is useful in building emotions, but Forrest Gump is overkill. There is a sequence/when the choice of songs is inspired (thinking of Forrest Gump's "long-distance running" using "empty running"), but the soundtrack could have been trimmed a little. Sometimes, selling CDs seems as important as selling cement.
In the end, however, any complaint about Forrest Gump is secondary. This is a wonderful movie-a glass of mint wine on a hot summer afternoon.
