FORREST GUMP...

For this week SOS class, we were watching a movie with a title Forrest Gump. Actually Forrest Gump is the name of the main character. this movie has been released in year of 1994 which means it is 3 years older than me.. it is also based on a novel that has the same name.

starring Tom Hanks, he has successfully played a a slow-witted and naïve, but good-hearted and athletically prodigious man from Alabama. he always being bullied and one day, his friend Jenny asks him to run as fast as he can in order to escape from the people who bully him. Surprisingly, he managed to run even though he wears braces around his legs.

after he become an adult, he join the United State Army and he befriends with Bubba, a former shrimp fisherman. they even agree to run shrimping business together once they end their service. unfortunately, Bubba dies when their platoon is ambushed.

so, after the movie ended the thing that i can conclude is there are 2 most significant aspect that have been portrayed in this movie, the first thing is the spirit to overcome the difficulties. as i can see, Forrest Gump has a strong will to escape by running especially when he is being supported by Jenny. So, i think it is just the same as my daily life. you know, it is because sometimes i feel down and depress when I can't get what i want since there are obstacle that i need to face, But, when there are people who are willingly motivate myself, i feel enthusiastic back in everything i do. Thus, in my opinion, the purpose of this movie is they want all the people to realized that we can overcome every obstacles in front of us if we believe in ourselves and we believe that we are not alone. 

you're not alone

remember: every lock has its key

The second aspect that I think is significant is the friendship between the whites and blacks. from what i know there are different status between the black and the whites since the American Civil War. So, i think it is a bit confusing when I see the whites and the blacks can be a good  friends. after taking a few time to think about it, there is possibly that during that time ( the setting of the movie ) there are no more discrimination between them and they are being treated equally. seriously, I think it it is a very good idea in order to maintain the world's peace.

before I end this movie review, i really love to share a quote from this movie. i feel that the quote that i will share later is really beneficial not only to myself but to the other person too. you know why? because we never know what we will face in the future :)

see you again in the next post.. :)
