“Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know when your going to get” This quote from Forrest Gump, I feel is somewhat true, but at the same time, can be false. Sure, you don't always see what is coming at you, but somethings you can know, or guess what's coming. We can all see that people die, so we know that's coming, and losing loved ones can be seen coming as well. You just have to see it right. If things go out of control, and negative things happen, you have to live with it, you can’t

Forrest Gump as the Modern Day Fairytale Forrest Gump is a classic film; this essay will explore all aspects if this favourite. From the beautifully naïve Forrest, to the political underlay throughout the narrative. The opening sequence of the film stimulates a distant memory, a reminiscence of fairytales from years gone by. Once getting to know the character of Forrest I realize this innocence of fairytales is reflected in his being. The tinkling keys of the piano

There is a quote “Stupid is stupid does...”, basically means that a person’s intelligence and common sense are evidenced by the person’s actions, and not by the person’s looks. The best way to describe it is that a stupid person is a person is a person that does stupid things. This Quote came directly form the movie “Forrest Gump”. I will be covering the audience, art forms, filmmaker’s decisions, expectation, implicit meaning, patterns, mise-en-scene and actors. The group of people that view this

The movie I have chosen is Forrest Gump. In the movie you can see that Forrest is a hardworking person and doesn’t give up. Forrest runs 3 years, 2 months, 14 days, and 16 hours. He works toward many different things through his life, including: military, a shrimp boat, and ping-pong. I relate to Forrest because I understand having difficulties but having to break through them and in the end getting an even better reward than I anticipated. I have difficulties when it comes to social interactions

Forrest Gump is a remarkable person that passed many hardships in his life. When he went to Vietnam, his new friend Bubba told him everything about the shrimping business and they promised each other that they would be partners in the shrimping business after the war ended, but Bubba died soon after. Forrest, however, didn’t back down from his promise and he went into the business with his lieutenant named Dan, who was heavily injured during the war. Forrest invested $25,000 into a boat. When they

One thing you would come to figure out is forrest gump was always true to his word and would never lie. Forrest was born near the small town of Greenbow, Alabama, on June 6, 1944. His father was absent during his life, and his mother said he was "on vacation". His first love was jennifer curran

It's In The Bag Forrest Gump once said “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get.” But this speech isn't about Forrest Gump, even though he is awesome, this speech isn't about him. This speech is about me. So let’s get started. I have a bag, and this specific bag has no sentimental value to it. I grabbed a random bag and made sure everything fit. This ordinary bag has three things, my pin board, a tiara from my parents wedding, and a photo of my dad and I. I’ll

Forrest Gump Forrest Gump is one of my favorite movies. It starts out with Forrest as a young boy and the doctor told him he has a crooked back. The doctor has Forrest wear these braces for his legs that will help straighten his back and they also make him walk weird. Forrest lives in a big house with his mother and they rent it out to travelers. One of the travelers was Elvis Presley and he was playing the guitar and Forrest was dancing. Elvis then used Forrest’s dance moves on his next performance

In the film Forrest Gump, Forrest is subject to scrutiny throughout his entire life. When I say that he is subject to scrutiny throughout his life, I don’t mean the same scrutiny that you and I as everyday people have. Normal everyday occurrences that may be classified as a ‘day ruined’ by some were nothing compared to what Forrest went through on a daily basis. Such as running late, forgetting to do something important, spilling hot coffee on themselves, those are all things that would instantly

The film, Forrest Gump, follows the life of the character as he goes about life while being involved with historical events. In this scene was the ending part of the Vietnam War part of the movie and it relates to the meaning of courage that are also in The Things They Carried. Both Gump, O’Brien and the other characters are fighting the same war, struggling with situations regarding relationships, death, pain, and the post war world. In the scene, Forrest and Bubba running away from the enemy
