IntroductionWhy Forrest Gump for reviewing?- One of my favourite films- Teaches simple truths and values of life- Impressive Plot (whole life with a lot of

adventures)- Includes a lot of meaningful quotes (life

is a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get)

Jenny Curran• Forrest’s big Love• Has as a dream to become

a folk singer.

“Jenny and I were like peas and carrots. She taught me how to

climb. I showed her how to dangle. She helped me learn how to read, and I showed her how to swing. Sometimes, we'd just sit out and

wait for the stars.”

“She lived in a house that was as old as Alabama. Her mama had gone to heaven when she was five, and her daddy was some kind of a farmer.”

Run; Forrest! Run!

Criticism based on two storiesRobert Faires, Austin Chronicle / July 15, 1994

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times / July 6, 1994

“Any attempt to describe him will risk making the movie seem more conventional than it is.” It’s not only an average lifestory drama.

“Tom Hanks may be the only actor who could have played the role”

It reframes recent history of the world.

There are very successful actors in the business who could pull the part of pretty well.

My own evaluation• Compare with Benjamin Button• The scenes are connected.

– Barber shop– School bus– Father Forrest and son Forrest

• Reframes important events happened in America.– “Some years later, that handsome young man who they

called The King, well, he sung too many songs. Had himself a heart attack or something. It must be hard being a king.”

– “Some time later, for no particular reason, somebody shot that nice young President (Kennedy) when he was in his car. And a few years after that, somebody shot his little brother, too, only he was in a hotel kitchen.”

My own evaluation• Social events– Jenny is drug addict, of growing up in a

bad family.– Forrest endangers his own life to save

Bubba.
