At the 67th Academy Awards ceremony, "Forrest Gump" defeated "The Shawshank Redemption" of the same year, becoming the biggest winner on the Oscar stage. However, after many years of silence, "Shawshank" has risen on various online platforms to reverse the counter-killing.

The debate about the superiority or inferiority of these two classic films has been filled with smoke and smoke, and there is no conclusive conclusion.

For both films, I personally prefer The Shawshank Redemption, but I prefer to watch Forrest Gump.

Forrest Gump PK The Shawshank Redemption

In terms of entertainment, "Forrest Gump" is undoubtedly more in line with my tastes, and it is also more in line with the tastes of the public. With the same 142-minute length, Forrest Gump is always switching between different scenes and topics, with ups and downs and jokes, but "The Shawshank Redemption" seems to be always in the next intriguing game of chess, which is easy to make people tired.

But in terms of storyline, "Forrest Gump" is far less tightly sewn than "Shawshank Redemption", and the whole film connects the plot through the form of narration, with a slight sense of cheapness in which the paragraphs are put together.

Don't forget that in 1994, there was not only "Shawshank" competing on the same stage, but also "Pulp Fiction", "Four Weddings and a Funeral", "Burning Love Years", "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", "The Lion King", "The Speed of Life and Death", "True Lies", "Night Visit to Vampires", and even in China, there are such masterpieces as "Chongqing Forest", "East Evil and West Poison" and "Sunny Days".

How hard it was to win the Oscar for Best Picture in 1994

"Forrest Gump" can stand out from so many classic movies and win the crown, it must not be out of chance. In addition to being a leader in the artistry of the film, this feature film, which looks unremarkable on the screen, actually won the Oscar for best visual effects. Many of the real historical fragments we see in the film are original video materials from that year.

Historical data clips

The protagonist of the movie is seamlessly connected through the special effects technology in the later stage. There is also lieutenant Dan's broken leg without any sense of violation, which is also the embodiment of special effects technology, which has reached the top level more than 20 years ago.

However, what attracted me most to the movie was the character of Forrest Gump, who was always impressed by Tom Hanks' brilliant interpretation.

Life is like chocolate

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > feathers, shoes, buses, and chocolates</h1>

The next thing I'm going to review is the stuff that comes out of the movie, and it's the stuff that touches and touches me the most, and you might feel a little weird, they're "feathers, shoes, buses, chocolates."

But only by understanding these things can we truly understand the life of "Forrest Gump".

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > let's start with feathers</h1>

The film begins with a feather and ends with a feather. Why do feathers become clues throughout?

Forrest Gump begins with a feather

Forrest Gump ends with a feather

From the moment the feather leaves the bird, it either fights against the wind, or flutters with the wind, or soars into the sky, or falls into the abyss. Never know which direction to fly in the next second, southeast, northwest, or east.

When Jenny asked Forrest Gump what kind of person you wanted to be, Forrest Gump replied with a vernacular that seemed silly in that scene — be myself.

Forrest Gump did not think too much, did not have any deep thinking, he is different from those who have a clear direction but must be cool to say that they become their own great people, he really does not know who to become, in what direction to go, to be at ease with the situation, to live well in the moment, is what Forrest Gump thinks, of course, there are agreements with relatives, friends, lovers.

Forrest Gump and Jenny

Forrest Gump's life, has not had the luxury of honor, has not hoped for wealth, has not hoped for love, because there has been no luxury, so when far away from them, it seems easy, the medals awarded by the state are given to Jenny, a large amount of wealth is donated only enough, watching Jenny leave only wish she can be happy is enough. Like a feather, it rises with the wind and falls with the wind.

On the other hand, Jenny, who has been liberal all her life, there are always so many things in the world that she wants to chase, but when these things pass her by, it is always lamentable.

Jenny also has her own dreams

Jenny's dream

Jenny longs to be a bird, soaring freely in the sky, but when she stands on the high platform and looks down, what she sees is not the freedom of heaven, but the powerlessness of reality.

Jenny who wants to be a bird

Just as there is no feather in the world, you can go wherever you want. How many people, like Jenny, initially dreamed of becoming a bird, but finally had no choice but to live into feathers, desperate, desperate.

Jenny was always on the move

Forrest Gump, he was never good at looking far ahead, just staring at the eyes, only living in the moment. His philosophy of life is extremely simple, that is, staring at the ping-pong ball in front of him, and not looking away for a moment. Only in this way can you go all out to fight back against ping-pong from any direction, and can you be at ease in the face of a clueless life.

Forrest Gump has turned himself into a feather, he has no superior intelligence, only a birth that is lighter than Hong Mao, but he does not care where he will eventually float, but every time he goes all out and does his best. In the end, it achieved a life journey that was heavier than Tarzan.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > another important clue is the shoes That Forrest Gump wore</h1>

Forrest Gump told the women who were waiting for the car that the shoes could see a lot of things about a person, such as where they were going and where they had been.

So, just look at the shoes That Forrest Gump wore to count Forrest Gump's life experiences.

Forrest Gump's mother told Forrest Gump that many things can be known from a person's shoes

Forrest Gump's first pair of shoes were to correct his hunchback, tie his knees, bind him to run, and have leg hoops attached to the shoes that Forrest Gump himself called the shoes of magic.

Magic Shoes

Perhaps in Forrest Gump's view, the shoe was cast with a spell, so it sealed his ability to run.

The magic shoe stuck

In the years of tying his legs, Forrest Gump was ostracized by almost everyone because of his intelligence, and he faced a lot of resistance to where he wanted to go and what he wanted to do. Only his mother and Jenny were struggling to hold on to his life, which had fallen behind at the beginning.

However, Forrest Gump danced awkwardly under the limited amplitude of the leg hoop, giving Elvis Presley the inspiration to create popular dance steps.

The second pair of shoes is the shoes that have broken free of the leg hoops,

Forrest Gump began to gallop

It is an upgrade of the Magic Shoes. Forrest Gump finally has the foundation to go where he wants to go, and for the first time in his life, he has a place beyond ordinary people, and for the first time he has shown a real difference.

Whenever he had the chance, he would run as hard as he could, making the most of his only shining point.

The third pair of shoes, is the rugby sneakers,

Because of the fast running, Forrest Gump entered the rugby team

A pair of shoes that brought Forrest Gump to a higher education institution. Because of his outstanding running ability, Forrest Gump became a special student of rugby and ran into the ivory tower dreamed of by countless students. It is unimaginable to imagine that Forrest Gump was turned away from ordinary primary schools, but now he is on a university campus, a place that most normal people cannot reach.

Because of his rugby skills, Forrest Gump successfully completed his studies

He even met then-U.S. President John F. Kennedy as a national football star. All because Forrest Gump was so engrossed and running without distraction. The kind of running that never stops without putting on a warning sign.

The fourth pair of shoes, the military boots of the troops,

Perhaps forrest Gump's best shoe. The simple and clear life of the troops made Forrest Gump feel like a fish, and here, thinking seems superfluous, and he only needs to follow the instructions of the instructor to become a good soldier. Even got the praise of the instructor with an IQ of 160. Because no one else in the barracks could carry out military orders more meticulously than Forrest Gump.

IQ one hundred and sixteen

Coming to Vietnam and participating in the Vietnam War, Lieutenant Dan repeatedly reminded Forrest Gump to protect his feet. Because they are stepping on this wet land, they can take their lives if they are not careful, which seems to imply, no, it should be a clear indication not to trample on other people's land easily.

Lieutenant Dan's Admonition 2

During the battle, Forrest Gump saved the lives of his comrades with his desperate run.

But Lieutenant Dan still lost his feet, and Lieutenant Dan, who no longer needed to wear shoes, lost his place and soon lost himself, spending his days in bars.

Until finally attending Forrest Gump's wedding, he put on a prosthetic leg, put on his shoes again, and regained his former style.

The fifth pair of shoes, the fisherman's rubber shoes,

After retiring from the army, Forrest Gump did not forget to fulfill his promise to his friend Bab, he bought the ship and started the shrimp fishing business.

A promise of gold

Good friend Babb died

From going out to sea to catch less than 5 shrimp at a time, it has been achieved that Babgan Shrimp Industry has become a well-known shrimp fishing company in the country. Forrest Gump is still the same as before, doing everything with the same heart, leaving no regrets, he used all his savings to buy shrimp boats and shrimp fishing equipment, the old man who sold the boat asked him if you were stupid, Forrest Gump just replied "stupid people do stupid things", and then buried his head in the shrimp hunting errands.

Later, this old man who sold boats witnessed the process of Forrest Gump's prosperity day by day, from the success of shrimp fishing to the donation of churches and hospitals, he was on the scene and became a witness to Forrest Gump's success.

The sixth pair of shoes, the running shoes that Jenny gave to Forrest Gump,

Jenny gave Forrest Gump's shoes

Quite a bit of a run

This pair of shoes was later called Forrest Gump shoes by people in reality, which is a classic in the minds of runners, and even now It is still sold on Nike's website.

Forrest Gump shoes are available in various stores

Forrest Gump wore these shoes and ran for three years, all the way from obscurity to the well-known Internet celebrity.

Forrest Gump running

He doesn't run for world peace, he doesn't run for the homeless, he doesn't run for women's rights, he doesn't run for the environment and animal protection, he just runs for the sake of running, nothing more.

Curiously, although Forrest Gump runs without desire or desire, even the simple act of concentrating on running has helped and guided many disoriented people. Some people hope to find the answer to life, some people hope to create popular advertising words, and some people hope to run a dismal business to come back to life. They all found themselves in Forrest Gump's persistence and simplicity.

The seventh pair of shoes, the leather shoes that Forrest Gump put on after seeing his son and Jenny, belonged to her husband's shoes after he and Jenny returned to the family, the shoes of her father.

Forrest Gump and Jenny's wedding

Forrest Gump accompanies Little Forrest Gump

He did not abandon Jenny, even if Jenny repeatedly left him, even if Jenny was already suffering from an incurable evil disease, he was determined to form a relationship with Jenny, the woman he loved most in his life.

In the face of the sudden birth of his own son, Forrest Gump did not hesitate at all, as long as Jenny told himself that it was his son, he wholeheartedly did everything a father should do.

Forrest Gump "Hi Daddy"

Finally, Forrest Gump wore these shoes that belonged to the family, held a wedding, sent Jenny away, and put his son on the school bus. The feathers from the opening scene fall next to his shoes and fly in the wind, and the film ends here.

Feathers finish

The seven pairs of shoes of life are forrest Gump's running boots for life, and also represent Forrest Gump's completely different seven life experiences. I have to say that in these seven paragraphs, Forrest Gump has lived without complaints and regrets, and has been full of joy.

OK is probably the word for Forrest Gump, in English OK means almost ok, but in Forrest Gump's world, there is no difference, only to do or not to do. Every time he gently says OK two letters from his mouth, behind it represents the meaning of going all out and the mission will be achieved.

Forrest Gump, it is such a one, no matter what kind of shoes you let him wear, he will do what he should do, not to say that he is beautiful, but at least it is done firmly and thoroughly.

Perhaps, in the eyes of normal people, this is a fool who does not know how to change, and for Forrest Gump, this is his only code of conduct.

< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > then the bus that appears repeatedly in movies</h1>

The director chose the bus stop as the place where Forrest Gump told his story, chose the bus stop, as the scene where the movie began, and chose the bus stop as the scene where the movie ended. Why is it a bus stop?

At the end of the movie, it's still the bus stop

The bus went in one direction, and in the process, some people came up and some people went down, from empty to crowded, and then to empty. It's like one era after another, wave after wave of trends.

Forrest Gump Jr. was the first time he did a bus

Forrest Gump, who did not like to take the bus, even after waiting for two hours at the bus stop, finally ran to Jenny's house.

Forrest Gump boarded the bus twice, and both times he was ostracized by almost the entire crew. Because everyone thinks that Forrest Gump is different from themselves, they classify themselves as normal people and Forrest Gump as abnormal.

Forrest Gump joined the army and was ostracized

Ironically, Forrest Gump's name, Forrest, derives from the leader of the racist Ku Klux Klan, which is known for discriminating against people of color. Forrest Gump, on the other hand, became the object of discrimination by normal people.

Forrest Gump's ancestors were the founders of the Ku Klux Klan

Excluding dissidents, no matter at what time and in what space, is a stubborn disease that is difficult to cure.

Forrest Gump was discriminated against in the army

Forrest Gump, not in line with this era, does not conform to this trend, he is indeed different from the people around him. But what is different is not his IQ, but that he only wants to live his own simplicity and simplicity.

When everyone hopes to catch up with the tide by the bus of the times, only Forrest Gump, always relying on his feet, can go wherever he wants.

Normal people gradually lost their way up and down the buses, lost themselves, and eventually lived into a beat generation.

I don't know if anyone has found out that the female driver when Forrest Gump sat on the school bus when he was a child, and the female driver when he and his son sat on the school bus, in fact, are the same person.

This seems to be telling the audience that the driving force that sets the trend of the times has never changed, and what has changed is only people's restless hearts.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > finally, it is too classic to say chocolate</h1>

The most famous line in the movie is this one, "Life is like chocolate, you never know what will happen"

At first, I didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, a package of chocolate is not all a taste, why do not know what is happening.

Later, it was learned that most of the chocolate gift boxes at that time would wrap different flavors of chocolate with the same candy paper. So when you don't peel off the candy paper and eat the chocolate inside, you never know what the chocolate will taste like.

That's why I said that life is like chocolate, you never know what's going to happen. Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, surprise or tragedy are all essential life experiences.

However, when I watched Forrest Gump recently, I suddenly had a different understanding of this line.

I found that the point of this sentence is not that I don't know what to expect, but that life is like chocolate.

Before saying this famous line, Forrest Gump said that he loved chocolates and that he could eat even 1.5 million boxes.

In fact, this is forrest Gump's true philosophy of life, he loves chocolate, no matter what the taste of chocolate, they are still chocolate; so Forrest Gump also loves life, no matter the sour, sweet, bitter and spicy taste, he is at ease with the encounter, and he is happy and harmonious.

Forrest Gump does not know what kind of life he will experience in the future and what kind of shoes he will wear, but he will never endure a different life, but enjoy a different life.

He loves chocolate, and his mother says life is like chocolate.

Maybe you will say that Forrest Gump's life is luckier than most of us in reality, so he has more reason to love his life than we do.

Yes, Forrest Gump's luck is there for all to see, not many people can meet the president, can survive the war, can become a celebrity, can become a billionaire.

But before the good fortune, how many people can afford the misfortune of Forrest Gump and are willing to start as an intellectually handicapped child? How many people can endure the loneliness of a long life, but still enjoy the scenery along the way?

Everyone knows that Forrest Gump's story is purely fictional, and he represents not a probability of life, but an attitude towards life.

Our life will not always be like sweet chocolate, our life is more like a feather in the fluctuating wind, but our attitude towards life can be like Forrest Gump treating chocolate, love and not give up.

In the face of each different life, there is no need to make any feasible argument for one's purpose, when you want to start, you will start immediately, when you want to stop, you will stop immediately, since you start, you will have no complaints and no regrets, and since you let go, you will have no desire or desire.

Use Forrest Gump's method to live forrest Gump's life, and perhaps, you will be as lucky as Forrest Gump.
