The film is not a story about the warmth of people. This classification is too limited to accommodate such a blockbuster as Forrest Gump. It is more like a reflection on our times through the eyes of a less cynical realist. Get to know Forrest Gump well, and the audience will understand why being too smart will be looked down upon. Forrest Gump's intelligence is just right. The film is full of hilarious jokes and silent truths, and the actor's performance maintains a gripping balance between comedy and sadness. Tom Hanks is probably the only actor suitable for this role. After seeing how he transformed Forrest Gump into a man with such dignity and courage, we can't imagine anyone else who can shoulder this heavy responsibility. Indeed, it is Tom Hanks's specialty to depict the integrity of human beings. Whether it is a widowed father suffering from insomnia in Sleepless in Seattle or a gay man suffering from AIDS in Philadelphia, the characters he plays can always face difficulties and make their lives more meaningful than ordinary people. Forrest Gump is simple-minded, but good-natured. He is willing to tell his story to everyone who wants to hear it when waiting for the bus at a bus stop in Savannah, Georgia. Forrest Gump was born in Grimborg, Alabama in the forties, and his IQ is low. My mother, who runs a boarding apartment, is strong-willed, takes care of him wholeheartedly and refuses to send him to a special education class, so as not to be more unfavorable to him. In order to correct Forrest Gump's severe scoliosis, she put on leg pads for him, but she never criticized his ideas. When others called him stupid, she said to him, "A stupid person is going to do stupid things." Forrest Gump can't do anything difficult, but when his leg pads are taken off, he runs like a fly. On the first day of school, Forrest Gump made friends with Jenny, so that Jenny could temporarily escape her father's physical and sexual abuse. One day, the local people threw stones at Forrest Gump. Jenny told Forrest Gump to run away. Forrest Gump took off his leggings and flew away.
Despite its limitations, Forrest Gump is still full of twists and turns, thanks to Tom Hanks's superb acting skills and a series of historical scenes produced by computer artists of Industrial Optics and Special Effects Company, which are unprecedented in realism. Robert Zan Mikis, the director who directed Back to the Future and Who Framed Roger Rabbit, deeply invited the magic of special effects. In this film, computer image processing technology is successfully used to put Forrest Gump and real people in some historical occasions, such as Forrest Gump standing at the school gate of the University of Alabama with Governor george wallace, Forrest Gump teaching Elvis Presley to twist his ass, Forrest Gump visiting the White House three times, and Forrest Gump giving a speech at a peace rally in Washington during the Vietnam War. When creating the role of Lieutenant Dane, stunts were also used. Dane lost his legs, which looked real and reminded people of Ron Kovic, the hero of Born on the 4th of July. Zan Mikis carefully selected TV documentary clips and re-dubbed them to reproduce some funny scenes, such as President Johnson looking at the wound on Forrest Gump's ass. The most infuriating joke in the film is that Nixon asked Forrest Gump to stay in Washington and suggested that he live in Watergate apartment. Although there have been precedents in Citizen Kane and The Chameleon for fictional heroes to appear on the same stage with real historical figures, Forrest Gump represents a technological breakthrough. Fortunately, it is far less profound in thought than the first two glamorous movies, and Forrest Gump looks as simple as its protagonist. ?
