Forrests mother represent believer, Captain Dan represent suspicious men, Jenny represent rebel. Maybe destiny is like that feather, which has no concrete direction ,and the ordinary experience tired us. However, any turning is controlled by themselves freely, theres one thing you must do do you best.Love:“Im not a smart man, but I know what love is。”Love is films eternal theme .We give our tears and laughter generously. The love in this film is a process which a man with low IQ speaks out “love”.I think that Forrest doesnt only say to Jenny, but also say to his mother and Buba.

He once that is born, that is die. Everyone is the same. The only difference is whether busy living or busy dying. The film tells me even a man can live once, but if he keeps faith, keeps hope and works his life right, then once is enough.2、Fear can hold you prisoner, hope can set you free. A strong man can save himself, a great man can save another.懦怯囚禁人的灵魂,希望可以令你感受自由。强者自救,圣者渡人。3、I guess it comes down to a simple choice: get busy living or get busy dying.人生可以归结为一种简单的选择:不是忙着活,就是忙着死。4.brave heart (勇敢的心)The movie begins in a small town of Scotland.
