He's been in the military, attended the University of Alabama, and played college football for the team, to name a few. A slow-witted man, Forrest Gump, waiting for a bus tells his life story to strangers sitting with him. He recounts his meeting of Elvis and the death of his mother. He recounts going to college on a football scholarship. He tells his story of joining the army, being sent to Vietnam and saving his comrades and coming home a hero. He recalls meeting several presidents. He remembers playing professional ping-pong. He recalls getting rich by starting a scrimping business. He recounts becoming famous for running back and forth across the country over a period of three years. But every story led back to one intertwining theme, his one and only love, Jenny, whom he finds and loses time and time again. He reconnects with Jenny to find they have a son together. Jenny is dying from an incurable disease. Forrest marries Jenny. She dies a short time later and Forrest raises their son on his own. Forrest Gump, gifted with a low IQ which lets him be adorably childlike even as he grows up, leads a very charmed life: a mother who loves him immensely and who sleeps with the school principal in order to make sure her child has the best education, a miraculous incident that eliminates the need for him to have braces for his legs, a childhood girlfriend who remains faithful to him till the end, surviving Vietnam with a medal, and, in general, a propensity for turning everything that happens to him into good. Destiny is another concept Gump explores, without ever really resolving what it is. Forrest's Vietnam buddy Bubba , grievously injured, wonders "Why'd this have to happen?" Dan, raging to Forrest, who rescued him from certain death, cries, "I had a destiny. I was supposed to die in the field with honor." Even Forrest eventually asks his mother (Sally Field), "What's my destiny, Momma?" Forrest speaks of the "people passing through" the rooming house his mother ran when he was a child. He once unwittingly helped create a star who would change American culture when he danced a strange little dance for a then-unknown Elvis, who was staying at the house. I think all of us are like Forrest, like the people passing through the rooming house -- paradoxically, we all create history while simultaneously being swept along helplessly in its wake. I wonder what the movie is trying to say. From one perspective, it implies that intelligence (as measured by IQs and the general idea of what "smart" is) is a very unnecessary trait. But I think one can look beyond that and say that childlike innocence, which can be considered stupid, has its rewards. Throughout the movie, Gump is in situations where he is harassed by other people but he never takes offense (except, of course, when his girl Jenny is being abused) at any of the insults thrown at him. He is indeed not completely stupid, even though he is portrayed as such; since he can re-assemble guns at high speed, run like crazy, play ping-pong like a maniac, and so on. The fact that Gump doesn't take offense, I think, is what keeps him content. He becomes a millionaire, but gives most of the money away. He is honest and open and this, along with his Alabama accent, endears him to the audience. But this gets tiresome after a while (especially after 2 hours). I thought the movie was overly long, but that's the only negative thing I have to say. Gump rubs elbows with many famous personalities over the last half of the century including Elvis Presley and Nixon, thanks to computer technology (General Dan doesn't really lose his legs either---they are just erased and the background is then touched up by using computer graphics programs). The account of how Gump is responsible for the gyrations that is so characteristic of Presley is very telling of the motives of this movie. Gump is contrasted to the famous males, who are idols (in some cases) in today's society, and it appears as though he is better off in comparison: Gump's choices in life seem to determine his niceness (he goes to Vietnam, keeps his promises ("a promise is a promise"), harbors no ill-feelings or grudges, and is not greedy with fame or money) and successes. Contrast this to the choices his lifetime girl friend Jenny makes: she wants to be famous and rich, but ends up being a druggie. The people she is surrounded by are all of a dubious nature: a sexually-abusive father, a show audience more interested in her naked body than her folk-music playing, and an abusive hippie-boyfriend. The traditional male heroes that we have had are all dysfunctional in some respect or another and we are lost without heroes, as Bloom points out. Gump is a new kind of a role-model; he's A Nice Boy and everyone knows they're hard to find. Forrest Gump is the story of a man's journey through life and innocent reflections on what living is all about. It tells the story of a man that's tangled in life but survives the hardships through his simplicity. "I'm tired now. I think I'm going home." --Forrest Gump "Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're going to get." --Forrest Gump "Stupid is as stupid does." --Forrest Gump "I guess sometimes there just aren't enough rocks." --Forrest Gump
