Forrest Gump is a very simple person, so he is very simple in everything, he just needs to do what his mother told him. His mother was a beacon in his life, showing him the way and allowing him to live a good life as a "fool" that ordinary people could not live.

However, I think the best thing about Forrest Gump's mother is that she knows to let him go. I think that if an unintelligent person like Forrest Gump were our mother, he would be worried that he would not be adequately protected, afraid that he would be bullied, and that he would not be able to face the world independently; I'm afraid he doesn't know how to get along with the people in this world.

When Forrest Gump was young, she was bullied by three boys with stones in the class because of the leg baffle, and Jenny at that time, in order to let Forrest Gump run, she shouted at the top of her throat to show her love for Forrest Gump. Forrest Gump is not far behind, his speed is getting faster and faster, and in the end, his legs are finally released, he can finally overcome all difficulties and start a new life, this scene has made many people regain their confidence and start a new life!

Forrest Gump is an ideal character, no matter what he encounters, he can stick to his heart, he will not back down, he will not give up easily, he always looks forward in life. In comparison, Jenny's life is full of negative emotions, her good friend Bubba's life has unexpected twists and turns, and Lieutenant Dan's ups and downs are more comparable.

There's a sought-after line:

"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what the next piece will taste like."

This line also explains the unexpected life situation of the protagonist Forrest Gump.

The film tells the story of Forrest Gump, a fool with an IQ of only 75, who went from being ostracized and ridiculed by the world to becoming a millionaire all the way.

Looking back on every detail in the movie, it is not difficult to find that Forrest Gump's life trajectory hides these 8 truths that the sooner you know, the better.

01

In the child's character, there are three views of the mother

Born into a single-parent family in Alabama, Forrest Gump was mentally retarded and born with a curved back, requiring leg braces to straighten his back.

Despite this, his optimistic mother often told him:

"You're just like everyone else, no different."

When someone laughed at Forrest Gump, his mother would stand up to protect him and firmly say to him:

"Don't care if other people say they're better than you, if God wants everyone to be the same, He will give everyone a pair of feet to support."

Under the words and deeds of his mother, Forrest Gump is honest and kind to others.

I never felt that I was physically or intellectually handicapped, and I never felt the slightest frustration because I was different from others.

He has always been able to face life's difficulties with an optimistic attitude.

Writer Zheng Yuanjie once said:

"The growth of a child is also a mother, and the mother is also a failure."

Every child is born a blank sheet of paper, and the colors on the paper are deeply influenced by their mothers.

The mother is the closest person to the child's three views, a mother who treats people generously and gently, it is difficult to raise a child who is short-tempered and dead.

02

A true friend will never dislike you

Sanmao once said: "The most beautiful relationship between friends is the icing on the cake; The most precious, expensive in the snow charcoal; The best among friends, it is like a good tea, light but not astringent, fragrant but not tangy, slowly floating, like water flowing for a long time. ”

Forrest Gump and Jenny's friendship is like this.

When Forrest Gump took the school bus for the first time, he suffered from cold eyes because of his clumsy demeanor and unresponsive appearance, and no one wanted to sit with him.

Just when he was at a loss, the little girl Jenny took the initiative to let him sit next to him and became his first friend.

On weekdays, she also plays with Forrest Gump, teaches him to climb trees, and reads and writes.

When Forrest Gump is bullied by bad classmates, although Jenny can't protect him, she will remind him to run and cheer him on.

When she became an adult, when she learned that Forrest Gump was about to go to Vietnam to participate in the war, she still said to Forrest Gump worriedly:

"If you're in trouble, don't be a hero, just run, run away."

People who really care about you will never dislike your shortcomings, let alone laugh at your embarrassment.

They will show up when you are in trouble, not at a rocket-fast pace when you need to.

03

Human potential is forced out

Forrest Gump's uniqueness became the reason for being teased.

And his open life started with being bullied by bad classmates.

They wantonly threw stones at Forrest Gump, smashing Forrest Gump's head to the point of bleeding, but Forrest Gump did not resist, just stood there stupidly.

With Jenny's encouragement, he no longer sat still, but dragged his legs, which were not fast, and ran forward with all his might.

The miracle of life always appears inadvertently, and when he runs away quickly, the shackles are shattered to the ground.

His waist was no longer bent, and his legs could run like a normal person, leaving behind his bad classmates who were chasing him on bicycles.

When he got to high school, the bad classmates didn't stop playing with him, but chased him in a car.

Forrest Gump just ran fast as usual and unknowingly ran into a rugby field.

He ran much faster than a rugby player, so the coach put him on the team, and he went to college and the army.

There is a sentence in "Volleyball Boy" that says:

"It's because they don't have wings that people look for ways to fly."

Things are done, and people are forced.

It's not that many things really can't be done, but that the moment of last resort has not arrived.

Only when you are in the abyss and have no way to retreat, will you move forward bravely regardless of everything.

If you don't push yourself, you'll never know how powerful your limits really are.

04

Do one thing seriously, and you win

In the "Green Book", there is a sentence that says:

"Whatever you do, do it to the extreme. When you go to work, you work hard, you laugh as much as you want, and when you eat, you enjoy it like your last meal. ”

Only in this way can we do everything in life well.

When playing rugby, Forrest Gump didn't know any pitching skills, but as soon as he got the ball, he would run forward without distraction.

When disassembling rifles in the army, others were talking and working at the same time, but he just disassembled and assembled them carefully without saying a word, and he actually broke the army's fastest record.

While recuperating in the hospital, he still kept in mind the principle of "never take your eyes off the ball", learned to play table tennis, joined the team of special forces, and went abroad to participate in competitions.

When you think about it, the reason why Forrest Gump can succeed in everything is because "he only focuses on the things in front of him".

There is a "barrel theory" that says that what determines the capacity of a bucket is its shortcomings.

As a result, countless people spend a lot of time trying to make up for their shortcomings, but ignore the fact that they ignore one fact:

What determines a person's height is precisely what he is best at.

You've done several things at the same time to save time; But at the end of the day, everything was mediocre and there were no bright spots.

In this life, doing one thing to the extreme is far better than doing 10,000 things mediocre.

05

Don't give up, just get through it

When Forrest Gump entered the war, his teammates fell in a hail of bullets, desperately waiting for death to come.

He risked his life to carry his teammates out of the battlefield one by one, giving them a new lease of life.

After retiring, Forrest Gump went to the other party's hometown alone in order to fulfill the agreement with his friend and his life, bought a fishing boat, and started a shrimp fishing trip.

Maybe he has no experience in shrimp fishing, or there are too many fishermen fishing for shrimp, and he can only catch a handful of small shrimp at a time.

But he was not discouraged and continued to catch shrimp.

While sailing at sea, he and his friend Lieutenant Dan were suddenly hit by a storm, and he and his friend Lieutenant Dan fought hard in the fierce wind and rain without fear.

The rest of the fishermen were injured and killed in the storm, but they survived and became the biggest shrimp catcher, and Forrest Gump became a millionaire.

Looking back, it's just because they still believe in the fierce storm:

"Boiling" the past, it will be calm, and it will be bright.

The poet Rilke said, "There is no victory to speak of, holding on is everything." ”

When they are in the quagmire, some people succumb to difficulties, while others grit their teeth and persevere.

It's hard, but it's worth it.

No matter how long the night is, the dawn will come because of you.

06

Thinking too much will only drag down your life

One day, Forrest Gump suddenly started running.

At first, he just wanted to run to the end of the road.

But when he reached his destination, he continued to run.

Since then, he has unconsciously continued to run every place he reached.

When he was tired, he slept, and when he was hungry, he ate, and ran wherever he wanted.

It took three years to run all over the United States Forrest Gump before he stopped.

I don't know if you've ever had such an experience -

Before doing something, you can't help but think about it.

Worried that the plan was not thorough, and worried that this was not the best time, waiting and waiting, and finally could only make a mistake.

There is a line in the movie "Chinese Partner" that says:

"When you're young, you shouldn't think about anything, you shouldn't think too much, thinking too much will ruin you."

Instead of expending energy thinking about the future, it is better to start acting and thinking as you go.

07

The people who appear in your life can only accompany you for one ride

There is a saying in "Spirited Away":

"Life is a train to the grave, there are so many stops on the way, and it's hard to have someone to walk with you from beginning to end.

When the person accompanying you is about to get out of the car, you should be grateful, even if you are reluctant, and wave goodbye. ”

In a few words, the true meaning of life was broken.

When Forrest Gump took the car to report to the army, only Bubba was willing to sit with him.

With a day and night relationship, he and Bubba became best friends.

They agreed that as soon as the war ended, they would go together to buy a boat to catch shrimp, but Bubba unfortunately died in the war.

Not long after, his mother, who was dependent on him, also passed away.

finally reunited with Jenny and entered the marriage hall, but Jenny became seriously ill and left Forrest Gump forever.

Watching the important people in his life leave one after another, Forrest Gump realized that no one can be with him forever, and everyone has their own way to go.

Yu Xiuhua said:

"When a person goes on the road, there are fewer and fewer people who can accompany him in his life, and his relatives have passed away one after another, so that people can't return to their senses in such sadness.

Only clothed in sorrow, continue to rampage in the human world, and complete our unfinished life. ”

Family members will leave you one day, loved ones may empathize, and even best friends may part ways.

When I reached a certain age, I suddenly realized that everyone in my life could only accompany me for a ride.

It turns out that loneliness is the fate of people.

08

In this life, people must learn to accept themselves after all

Looking back on Forrest Gump's life, at every stage of his life, he was looked at by the people around him with strange eyes and was treated as a fool.

But he did not give up on himself because of his congenital deficiencies, but chose to accept his imperfect self in the midst of injuries again and again.

Mai Jia said in "The Sea of Life": "There is no perfect life, imperfection is life." ”

Walking in the world, we will inevitably complain about the injustice of fate because of the shortcomings in life.

But complaining is useless, it will only rub salt on the wound and only increase the pain.

Everything that comes into your life, whether good or bad, must learn to shake hands and make peace with it.

Only acceptance can dissolve the knots in our hearts, which is a topic that we have to learn in this life.

09

Tian Wei said in "Half an Acre of Flower Field":

"In life, we all get different scripts.

Some are bland, some are intense, some are laughing, some are tears, no matter what, I always have to perform well until the curtain ends. ”

Someone takes a good deck of cards, but they play badly; Someone, like Forrest Gump, has the worst deck of cards, but still lives better than anyone else.

No matter when, Forrest Gump can always show sincerity to others, and risk his life to rescue his comrades on the battlefield, at the moment of life and death. The same is true for his friends, who lost his friend Bubba during the war, but always kept his friend's wish in mind, and after returning home from the army, he chose to return to his hometown to fish for shrimp.

Forrest Gump did not hide or hypocritically confess when dealing with others, but beat EFL people with a sincere heart, and obtained the best friendship and great effort

Dumas once said, "One or two weights of sincerity equals a ton of intelligence." Even if Forrest Gump is not smart, he is really no more than anyone with a high IQ. Therefore, when parents teach their children, they should pay more attention to cultivating their children

People's attitude makes children's lives more frank and peaceful.

Sometimes the object of love is not just a single person, but also a group of people. It requires us to love the people we love, everyone around us.

Taking responsibility in love also requires a certain cultivation of the realm of love, which is by no means achieved overnight. It is not difficult to simply repay gratitude love, but if we want to cultivate a happy and valuable life, we must improve the pattern of our love, from simply repaying material love to loving each other in all aspects.

Loving and being loved is a virtuous circle in life, and it is also the foundation of a sound soul in the emotions of life, a great driving force for life to be high-spirited, and a code of conduct that guides life to develop in a meaningful direction. We must dare to take the responsibility of love, know how to repay the love of others, and understand the essential law that love can only be rewarded if we give.
