Forrest Gump is an All American, fan favorite, award-winning film directed by Robert Zemeckis that was released on July 6, 1994. Tom Hanks stars as the main character, Forrest Gump. The award-winning movie’s genre is best described as an epic romantic comedy drama. Many rhetorical appeals such as ethos, pathos, and logos are made throughout the entire movie. Pathos is used the most effecting the audiences’ emotions from beginning to end. The film is based on Forrest Gump’s life, in which he narrated as a historical story throughout the movie. Forrest Gump was born and raised in Greenbow, Alabama by his single mother. Forrest was mentally and physically handicapped. He had to wear medal braces on both of his legs. He also faced many

“Can you live in that moment, as best as you can, with clear eyes and love in your heart? With joy in your heart? If you can do that gentlemen then you’re perfect.” Doesn't take much dose it? This speech has so much meaning and and purpose behind it.

In the movie, Forrest Gump, Tom Hanks plays an intellectually handicapped man named Forrest Gump from Greenbow, Alabama. The majority of the movie took place through his recounting of his memories from early childhood all the way up to his current age. This paper looks at Forrest’s ability to communicate, his diligence in a relationship, ability to cope, and his self-perception.

Matthew McConaughey was a very enthusiastic speaker who showed that he was the right choice when winning this award. He began by thanking his fellow workers who worked hard on the movie and even the other nominees to show respect and not doubt his fellow actors. McConaughey also states his three main points of the speech to show what he would be talking about. His humor made his words flow whenever he started talking about his Father and it caused it to shift into thanking his loved ones in the audience. His stance throughout the speech looked like he was shifting only because he would look around at the audience and create eye contact. McConaughey pointed out the people he was talking about and directly spoke to them the things he wanted to

Take “The Maine Lobsterman” for example, H. Elroy Johnson was not a major historical figure—compared to those such as Christopher Columbus or Trajan—but he was dedicated a sculpture nonetheless (Source F). However, the difference between the Lobsterman and something akin to the statue of Christopher Columbus is the Lobsterman was forgotten for a period of time. Due to the fact this statue did not commemorate something more well known: “[n]o one seemed to want the man and his lobster,” causing it to be forgotten for decades (Source F). Though there is now a cast of the Lobsterman, it is more of a roadside attraction than a true monument, the statue is viewed as an amusing tale rather than an important

The purpose of many monuments is to honor and protect the legacy of some of America's greatest heroes. Kirk Savage in the book Monument

In the movie, the director uses two popular actors along with historic moments from real life to show credibility of how good the quality of the movie will be representing ethos.

Monuments are important in keeping history in the present. The viewer experiences the emotions and actions in that specific part of time. Some monuments have awkward locations or the people chosen are unsuitable to represent the time. Any group or agency must consider who the person is and where the monument’s location should be before publically displaying it.

Whenever you hear national holiday you may think of it as a day off but it is so much more, a national holiday is a day where we honor and remember someone who has done something truly amazing to our nation, in a good way. For instance you have Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. day, which celebrates Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., He helped end discrimination in our nation. Or you have Presidents day which celebrates all of our presidents who have shaped our nation as we know it. So I am going to be writing about a group of people called the Monument Men of World War 2. They risked their lives to preserve art and educational materials. The reason why I mention them is because I think they should have their own national holiday because, they saved

Tom Cruise is an extraordinary actor. Critics and films determine and prove that he is one of the best actors to make it in the business. Cruise not only was nominated for 80 awards, he has won 29, and 4 Golden Globe awards (Wikipedia). His life style, and acting wasn’t just handed to him it was earned and hard worked like anything Tom has achieved before.

Watching Forrest Gump for the first time I feel that the movie has a little of everything in it, from action and war to love and romance. For one man to overcome so many hardships and live a life full of love and happiness it is inspiring. Each character had something that reached viewers. From Jenny to Lieutenant Dan they all had something that made them easy to connect with. Even the people that sat on the bench next to Forrest created interest; they listened and were in the story for us, but were not truly part of it.

There are few objects that can be compared to the significance of the figure known as the Statue of Liberty. It is one of the greatest works of its time and still stands today as a meaningful entity of independence to the world. The statue is a great tribute to the concept of global freedom that had its roots in America. It was created to display the worldwide objective of peace and tranquility. The fact that another model of this icon stands today in a world capital shows the effect that this figure has inscribed upon the world. In addition, it represents the ideas that the United States was built upon and those that the people have lived by to this very day. Its most paramount features in its role through American history are its

For over a century now, individuals have been flocking to witness the magic of motion pictures. It is a world made possible by a director and a dream. Unbeknownst to many, the making of a motion picture is a tedious event, involving scripts, takes, re-takes, and an abundance of post-production editing. Many people sit and enjoy a movie without realizing the complexities and the amount of individuals involved in creating the film. These individuals create the landscapes and backboards for us, the ultimate image also known as the mise-en-scene. My favorite film of all time is Forrest Gump. Forrest Gump will go down in history as one of the greatest films ever made. This film was nominated for thirteen Academy Awards,
