“Run
Forrest run” is probably one of the most famous movie quotes of all time, and
of course it comes from the infamous Forrest
Gump featuring Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump himself. But what exactly is this
movie about? Well that’s actually a very good question because it can come with
many answers. It’s all on how one sees it. This is how I see it; overall, Forrest
Gump is a life story of a man who did what he always felt was right and let
life take him in just as he took it in himself.
Forrest
Gump may not have been the brightest person as some may say, but he maintained
to keep his determination and courage and to me that’s the smartest thing that
anybody can do. He also loved and loved he did. He not only felt love from and
for his family, but he fell in love and was fallen in love with and along with
that, he created his own family that also loved. So another good question is why
does this film linger with those who watch it. However the answer to this
question can be very opinionated because again, it all depends on how one looks
at it. Someone could look at it as a comedy, another person could look at it as
a drama, and the next person could look at it as a life lesson at its purest. So
how it lingers with different people is dependent on how they look at it.
How does
Forrest Gump himself embody the quote “Life is like a box of chocolates; you
never know what you’re gonna get?” Well, from how I see it, that’s exactly how
Forrest’s life was. Life took him as it went. Overall, “life is like a box of
chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.”
