Forrest Gump

I watched this movie last night.
Like Titanic, I probably watched this movie.. I dunno.. more than ten times..?
But as always, it moved my heart and taught me great values that I had forgotton for long time.

The movie showed me..
How much a simple-minded man could lead the most dynamic life..
And I got to perceive alot of things from so many different perspectives by witnessing life of Forrest Gump.
"Life's a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."
This was just perfectly representing the theme of the movie.

Jenny always had dreamed of herself becoming a rock singer.
But what life had throw at her instead was alot of guys trying to chase and to grab her.

Lieutenant Dan thought that he was destined to die at the field honorably.
But what life had throw at him instead were crippled legs.

However.. Forrest Gump..
He showed that people can get a college degree while being not intelligent.
He hadn't expect that much.
But he accidently became a national hero, national celebrity..

Life can be flowing in so much dffierent directions from what we intended in our minds.

Anyways..
Regardless of how dumb Forrest Gump was, he stayed one most truthful man to a woman that he loved for his entire life and who was abused by other men.

Jenny, at the end, had Forrest Gump's baby.. but she was infected with virus and died.

Remained with his own son, Forrest started to raise young Forrest by himself.
And this.. life cycle begins.. again.. like what his mom did to him when he was a child.

The movie got all.. parenthood, friendship, love story and life..
It's just.. beautiful...

And like what his mama said..
Even though we have no idea what life's gonna throw at us..
"You have to do your best what God has given you."
