A few days ago I revisited the movie "Forrest Gump", the film itself has a healing energy, the viewing process is like listening to a friend who has known him for a long time telling his story, while you listen to his story attentively, those answers about life and life that you can't think of, like the pebbles that sink at the bottom of the lake, under the reflection of the evening sunset, slowly clear through the clear lake.
Forrest Gump has an IQ of 75, is slurred and thin, and is sluggish because of the orthosis on his legs with corrected bones. Forrest Gump is not a perfect child, not even a normal child by secular standards in the eyes of outsiders, some people call Forrest Gump a fool. Luckily, Forrest Gump had a mom who didn't live by worldly standards, and her mom told him that he was no different from others, and as for the fool, his mother said that "the person who does stupid things is a fool."
When I finished Listening to Forrest Gump's story, I said to Forrest Gump, it seems that only you don't do stupid things.
In Forrest Gump's story, there is a girl, Jenny, who is Forrest Gump's friend, best friend, and the only girl she loves. She has always been a beautiful presence in Forrest Gump's world, they grew up with each other, and they also drew strength from each other's trust and warmth.
Once, in the face of other children's pranks and bullying, Jenny said to Forrest Gump: Run! Come on! Forrest Gump unquestioned as he opened his legs with the orthoses and ran inflexibly, before Jenny shouted "Run! Come on! "The more I ran, the faster I ran, and in Forrest Gump's more and more powerful steps, the orthosis was broken free and scattered to the ground. From that day on, Forrest Gump's legs regained their freedom, bringing him a new direction in life at the same time.
Forrest Gump, who grew up, once again encountered a prank by his classmates, and he ran faster and faster to Jenny's "run" sound, across a stadium where a rugby game was being played. Then Forrest Gump, who ran as fast as the wind, was selected into the football team, as he himself said, because he would run to college.
I couldn't help but ask: Why can You Run So Fast Forrest Gump? Is this a gift from God?
What impressed me the most was the story of Forrest Gump going to Vietnam as a soldier, where Forrest Gump had another good friend, Bubba. Bubba was very dark, and the most prominent was his thick lips, because of this, and was reminded by the governor to keep his mouth shut, otherwise he might touch the mine line. However, Buba was very willing to talk, he told Forrest Gump a lot of shrimp things, he is simply the most knowledgeable shrimp person in the world, because he comes from a family of shrimp cookers. Buba said that if he hadn't come to be a soldier, he would have been the captain, the captain of the shrimp-catching boat, and he invited Forrest Gump to join him, Forrest Gump could be the first mate, they could go to sea together, Forrest Gump agreed, and Bubba was very happy.
However, Bubba did not become the captain, and their team was ambushed.
Their commander, Taylor, was a very handsome man, with short blond hair and a spirited look, and Taylor was familiar with war and had a great sense of honor, just as buba shrimp was very enthusiastic. The commanders came from a military family and were killed in every American war. Perhaps it was the sacrifice of the elders that made Taylor think that dying on the battlefield was the best place for a soldier. Later, their team was ambushed in the jungle and could not retreat, suffering heavy casualties.
In the "Retreat! run! Under the order, Forrest Gump instinctively began to run, which was what Forrest Gump was best at, but when he ran to safety, he found that Bubba had not followed. He did not hesitate to look back, and before finding Buba, he found several wounded soldiers who could not move, and sent them to safety, either on their backs or on their backs, including Taylor, who had been hit in the legs by the shell, and he had no desire to survive. Forrest Gump rescued him despite his resistance.
When Forrest Gump returns to the jungle again, Taylor's previous connection has responded, and the jungle will be flattened by shells in order to wipe out the enemy. But Buba was still in the jungle, and Forrest Gump rushed in without hesitation to finally find Buba, the dying Buba who was hit.
Bubba was sacrificed.
Lieutenant Taylor lost both legs.
Forrest Gump was shot in the ass.
When I learned that Lieutenant Taylor had lost both legs, I wondered, is it harder to live, or is it easier to die?
Because of this, I seem to be able to feel the mood of some Lieutenant Taylor, losing his legs, losing his value, losing his honor, losing all the glory he was once proud of. So, it's hard to be thankful, even if it's the person who saved his life.
At the same time, I suddenly felt a little envious, envious of Forrest Gump, because similar problems do not seem to bother Forrest Gump, in forrest Gump's world, it seems that there is no need to face such a choice, Forrest Gump's world is pure like the wind, Forrest Gump's world is simply like running, blowing is good, running is good, if you want to stop, then stop.
Forrest Gump, I also talked about another movie I liked, and his name was "No Questions Asked", and he was exactly 24 years younger than you. There was a person I liked very much, named Shen Guangyao, who lived in the war-torn era, was an only son like you, a military family like Lieutenant Taylor, and had friends like Buba. When he wanted to become a soldier, his mother said to him: "I'm afraid, you haven't figured out how to live your life, you don't even have a life." ”
Forrest Gump, have you ever wanted to live your life? Has Bubba ever thought about it? Lieutenant Taylor must have thought about it, he had the value of life he pursued, so he would be so broken in the face of loss.
Lieutenant Taylor retired due to injury.
In order to protect himself from running fast, he was able to enter the football team and go to college, but this time Forrest Gump saved several lives while running fast and won the medal awarded by the state. There is no presupposition about how everything happens, and fate moves forward naturally.
Forrest Gump then met retired Lieutenant Taylor. Lieutenant Taylor, who was in a wheelchair with long, messy hair and a sinister expression, would have a hard time connecting the person in front of him with the officer forrest Gump he had first met if you didn't look closely. At this point, I was thinking that maybe Lieutenant Taylor had died in that battle, and all that was alive was a shell.
When encountering a familiar person again, Forrest Gump was delighted, and at Lieutenant Taylor's house, Lieutenant Taylor suddenly asked Forrest Gump: Have you found Jesus? Shared a conversation between the pastor and him: "God is listening, but you can only help yourself, and if you accept Jesus in your heart, you can walk with Him in heaven." Lieutenant Taylor angrily repeated how a man without legs would walk along, and if there really was God, why did God want him to be what he is now?
"I'm going to heaven." Forrest Gump responded calmly. His answer makes you think that going to heaven is a natural thing, just as people believe that the sun will rise the next day after the sun goes down.
As they greeted the New Year together, Forrest Gump shared his plan, to be precise, Buba's plan to buy a ship and become a captain. When Bubba invited Forrest Gump to be the first mate, Forrest Gump agreed, which became a promise between them. The only difference is that Babu is gone, and Forrest Gump can only be the captain.
Lieutenant Taylor scoffed at this, and who kept a promise to the dead, and that promise was similar to a child saying I don't want diamonds, please give me candy. He said sarcastically, if there is such a day, I will be your first mate. Forrest Gump nodded in agreement.
Then, Forrest Gump retired. After retiring from the army, Forrest Gump received a sum of money, which he took to Bubba's hometown, a harbor where he could buy a ship and be a captain. Forrest Gump meets Abu's family, but when Forrest Gump expresses his intentions, everyone thinks he is a fool.
Anyway, Forrest Gump became captain.
Even more surprising, Lieutenant Taylor arrived.
However, their shrimp catch is not going well. They tried various methods, and Forrest Gump, at the suggestion of Lieutenant Taylor, tried to go to church to pray for it. However, there was still no successful fishing, but a storm waited.
In the storm, the ship was constantly bumpy and in danger of sinking at any time, forrest Gump said that he was very scared, but Lieutenant Taylor was like crazy at the top of the mast, facing the wind as if he were going to fight the storm. The sound of the rolling waves could not stop Lieutenant Taylor's shout: Let the horse come, you will never sink this ship!
The storm slowly subsided, and after the baptism of this storm, the fishing boats that had originally docked on the shore were completely destroyed, and the fishing port became a ruin. Only forrest Gump and Lieutenant Taylor's fishing boats were the only ones who survived because they sailed at sea.
I think that not only did the ship survive, but in this storm, Lieutenant Taylor also faced and defeated the storm that appeared in his life, just as he shouted, in the rapidly changing river of fate, the waves are constantly rolling, his ship will not die easily.
Whoever cannot destroy me will make me strong. - Nietzsche, The Other Side of Good and Evil
One day, on the way to the voyage, the sea was endless and sparkling, and Lieutenant Taylor, who had been rescued from the battlefield by Forrest Gump, said thank you to Forrest Gump for the first time. Lieutenant Taylor, who had said thank you, propped up his wheelchair with his hand, moved his body, and jumped into the water. In the sea, he slid the surface of the water with his powerful hands, carrying him farther and farther away. Forrest Gump said he was reconciled to God.
Forrest Gump You know? I want to know the soul and try to know myself. Thinking about what exactly determines the meaning of life? Or is there a so-called universal meaning to life itself? What really matters when we think about life?
Lieutenant Taylor and your story made me think that life itself is not so complicated, and that you are the only one who can define the meaning and value of your life. What we really need is to help us shake off a pair of hands that are blocking the fog in front of us, clear the direction, and bravely take a step forward.
The soundness and imperfection of the body cannot determine whether our lives bloom or not, only the power that bursts out from the depths of the soul will lead us like light.
The chief officer of Shen Guangyao in "No Questions Asked" said: What is missing in this era is not perfect people, but what is lacking in this era is the sincerity, justice, fearlessness and sympathy given from the bottom of the heart.
In any era, what is missing is not a perfect person, is it?
Jenny asked Forrest Gump a question: What kind of person do you want to be in the future?
Forrest Gump asked puzzled: What do you mean? Can't I be myself in the future?
Perhaps, what kind of person you become and who you really are are the same thing
Forrest Gump, it's nice to know you, thank you for the story.
