Forrest Gump. One of the most inspirational film characters of all time. Forrest symbolizes the way we wish to deal with the problems we face throughout the course of our lives, and how we would go about solving them if the Universe was on our side. In order to get the Universe on his side; Forrest had 3 essential qualities to separate himself from others: honesty, integrity, and compassion. If you have these 3 qualities along with acceptance as Forrest did, life will seem to work out for the best. Then, true happiness can be experienced.
Honesty is an important quality which we seek, and can be seen in Forrest's character. When he was in the army, Forrest made a promise to enter the Shrimping business with Bubba. Despite the death of Bubba, Forrest still went on to support Bubba's family, and started a shrimping business of his own. Most people would be so disheartened by the death of their best friend, they wouldn't be able to find the strength to carry on their promises. Because Forrest was such a strong and honest person, he carried out his promise in the toughest of times.
Forrest had more integrity than most people dream to have, and that really distinguished his unique personality. In fact, the integrity of Forrest Gump is unmatched by any other film character. For example, running is a trademark of Forrest; he always runs to get out of a difficult situation. Even if being chased by a car, an entire football team, Forrest used his integrity to pull himself out of tough circumstances. Running across the country for 3 years, playing ping ping in the army, and getting into the shrimping business all demonstrated the integrity of Forrest Gump. In order to play ping ping, he had to overcome the difficulties of being in the army. In order to run across the country, he had to sacrifice many aspects of his life. In order to get into the Shrimping business, he had to learn how to operate a boat, catch a shrimp, and learn all of the necessary skills. Were any of these tasks easy? No. So why did Forrest do them? Because he saw an opportunity where others didn't, used his integrity to follow through on his actions and make the best out of his situation.
No, i'm the administrator. If you think my advertising is unacceptable, I am just contributing my written work while leaving a link. Others come here just to advertise without contributing anything, while I am trying to be a good member.
I don't understand why this Forrest Gump review is notable or why it was necessary to make a forum topic about it. The review is poorly written and isn't particularily enlightening in any way.
