On The Way To Love And Courage
-----Film review of “Forrest Gump”
The film “Forrest Gump” is a story of a simple man ,Gump , who was unfortunately to be born with a lower IQ-75 , meanwhile he has a muscle problem. Most of us would think he can’t be successful in his life .But , instead , Gump rose above his challenges , he was a football star , a war hero , and later a millionaire . He proved himself with his determination , courage and love .
In the film , Gump is almost a representative of all the virtues : honesty and trustworthiness , serious work , courage fearless . But Jennifer , Gump’s best friend , is a symbol of degradation , She has been infected with almost all of the bad habits . But Gump always loved her . This also reflects his innocence and goodness .
Gump’s mother was a vivid character who was always philosophical and considerate . I still remember her words :“Life was like a box of chocolates , you never know what you are gonna get”. I consider that this means everyday is a mystery , you never know what the next day is , happy or sad , but you are supposed to be optimistic to everyday.
At the end of the film it reads :“But I tell you , friends , Sometimes at night , I look up to the stars ,then see the whole sky on the laid there , I do not think I remember nothing . I still have a dream , like everyone else , I would occasionally think of another situation in life , like son , And then , blink of an eye , I have forty , fifty , six-year-old , you understand , right ?”
I believe that here , everyone’s sense of fear that will not be reduced , but at the same time we also feel a sense of detachment and great strength , although a number of issues have not be resolved , but they are now less important . Time is always circulating ruthlessly , it urged us not to let too much time fly under thinking .

《阿甘正传》的英文读后感 第3篇
The traditional hero type is classically depicted to possess an image that is larger than life.They are generally expected to be more physically attractive, stronger, braver, more clever or charismatic than the average everyman.They always use reason over human nature.The creation of hero image embodies cultural conventions in a society.It is a mouthpiece of the moral principles.Its existing deepens notions of dominant class, as Roland says:“it embodies a body of ideas and practices, which by actively promoting the values and interests of dominant groups in society, defend the prevailing structures of power.”
However, in postmodernists’view, there is no superiority and inferiority.Heroes are not flawless.They may be ordinary people and have human nature such as cowardly, greedy, and selfish.A person is fraught with human frailties, unlike the perfect images of the white-hatted cowboy and the noble warrior.In the postmodern era, traditionally defined heroic qualities, akin to the classic"knight in shining armor"type, have given way to the"gritty truth"of life, and authority in general is being questioned.In order to break the shackles of the traditional concept, seeking self-liberation, postmodernists try to create"Anti-hero"images which are often ordinary person, especially persons who are invisible in modern society and are marginalized by traditional notions and morality.They are timid, or have some kind of moral, mental or physical defects.
Forrest Gump is such a person with physical defect and inferior IQ.He is considered to be“abnormal”.Ironically, such a“abnormal”become an icon of the country and admired by people in“normal”world.Despite his below average IQ, Forrest’s ability to run very fast gets him into the University of Alabama on a football scholarship.After graduation, Forrest enlists in the Army where he makes friends with Bubba.Both of them are sent to Vietnam.When their platoon is ambushed, what Forrest wants to do is just run away.But Bubba’s disappearance makes him run back to search his friend and he just wants to save Bubba.In the course of search for his friend, Forrest hear men’s cry for help.He rescues many of the men in his unit.For his actions, Forrest is awarded the Medal of Honor.When Forrest tells Lt.Dan about his plans for a fishing business, the lieutenant replies jokingly that the day Forrest becomes a fisherman, he'll be first mate.However, Forrest successes and makes a lot of money.Jenny returns to visit Forrest tells him that she does love him, but she leaves the next day.On a whim, Forrest elects to go for a run and simply decides not to stop.Over the next three years, two months, fourteen days and sixteen hours, he runs coast to coast across the country several times, gathering a large following.His foul language"SHIT HAPPENS"became the slogan stickers;his shirt with a recession on the facial mud, actually became the bestselling painted face designs.He become an icon of the country.Forrest’s popularity subverts the traditional hero type.It makes people understand that everyone can be“hero”and value diversity.

《阿甘正传》的文化解读 第4篇
影片所反映的历史
影片《阿甘正传》的历史背景是20世纪40年代到80年代的美国，也是美国历史上最为动荡的年代。影片中主人公阿甘不仅穿越了这段历史，并且亲历了每一个重要的历史事件和历史时刻：发生在阿拉巴马州的塔斯卡卢萨骚乱、始于六十年代结于七十年代的越南战争、代表中美关系解冻的乒乓外交、致使尼克松垮台的水门事件等等。
电影在表现民权运动和种族问题上可谓“处心积虑”，给予了相当多的间接提示。阿甘的出生地选在阿拉巴马州是因为这个州在近代美国没有别的可炫耀的历史，只有猖獗的种族歧视。1955年在阿拉巴马州的蒙哥马利市爆发了大规模的抵制公共汽车的黑人运动，轰轰烈烈的民权革命由此发起，金博士由此崛起。1963年6月11日，阿拉巴马州州长乔治华莱士公然于塔斯卡卢萨的阿拉巴马大学注册大楼门口，企图阻止两名黑人学生入学，并扬言阿拉巴马州在教育方面的种族隔离问题上决不让步，表达他对种族主义、“白人的纯洁”的捍卫。同年8月，金博士在著名的演说中称阿拉巴马州的伯明翰市是“美国实行种族隔离最彻底的城市”，而仅仅在一个月后，在伯明翰就发生了一连串的悲剧，放在黑人教堂的炸弹炸死了主日学校的四个小女孩，另一个黑人青年被警察开枪打死。阿拉巴马州的特殊地位还在一些不易察觉的细节上得以体现。阿甘初到越南时，导演有意安排丹中士将阿拉巴马州与阿肯色州搞混，让丹提及阿肯色州的小石城。这样的对话是别有用意的，因为1957年发生在小石城高中的种族冲突事件同样引人注目。1957年在阿肯色州的小石城白人学生家长和教师强烈抗议9名黑人学生入读小石城中心中学，并与当地军警发生了严重冲突，白人学生公然喊出“我们不愿意合校”的口号。
六十年代伴随规模空前的黑人民权运动同时发生的是反文化运动。反文化运动是指60年代流行在美国青年人当中以反战和反主流文化为特征的价值观和生活方式的统称，它包括发生在60年代美国社会的一切抗议运动。这场以青年为主题、波及社会政治、文化等各个领域、影响极深远的运动在影片中得以充分反映。
从詹妮身上我们看到了一种无望的反叛与回归，她渴望变成一只小鸟，飞离那个给她造成一生噩梦的地方，还要挣脱男性的压迫，开创属于自己的人生。就像她在影片中所说：“我想要和人们进行个人层面的对话，一对一地跟他们说些什么”。这类似于妇女权利要求的宣言，渴望获得解放，争取到自己在社会上应有的话语权及男女平等的作为独立的人的权利。然而，詹妮的叛逆行为给她带来了最大的惩罚，她得了艾滋病。最终，她与社会达成妥协，变成一个符合传统价值要求的女性，有了相对固定的工作和住处，并悉心照料自己的孩子。阿甘在她生命弥留之际依然接纳了她，使她成为合法的妻子和母亲，拥有了一个真正的家。通过这条线索的梳理，我们看到了影片所要呈现的妇女解放运动的过去和将来。在影片中，妇女解放运动和反抗主流文化没有能带来他们所期望的独立和新生。相反她们在否定旧的传统和道德之后只能让自己处于流离，无所归属。影片给了她们一个主流社会的家，回归是她们的唯一归宿。民众在经历了精神的迷茫之后回归于主流文化，这代表着美国社会传统价值观念的回归。
影片在通过主人公的视角呈现美国二战后的一系列历史事件的同时也把视角延伸到更久远的历史。阿甘在书序丹上尉的家史时，影片以惊鸿一现的方式闪现了美国历史上的几次重大战事：独立战争、南北战争、一战、二战。阿甘在讲述自己名字的来历时，影片画面出现的是美国电影史的经典片格里菲斯导演的《一个国家的诞生》。阿甘的旁白说他的名字来自他的远亲，而这位远亲是美国内战英雄、前邦联军队将军纳坦•贝德福德•弗雷斯特，1867年他曾经被推选为三K档首任全国领袖。阿甘追赶的汽车前部也有三K的标志。导演用这些画面向观众展现的是美国所不可掩盖的一段历史。
结语
总之，影片《阿甘正传》之所以取得如此巨大的成功，除了演员的成功演绎，还在于它所蕴含的丰富的社会历史文化信息。因此能够准确理解影片还取决于观众对其中的历史文化信息的解读。对于英语学习者来说，以电影这种视觉媒体作为引子来了解异国的历史文化，不仅很有意思，也必然是一种充满乐趣的经历。

《阿甘正传》英文观后感
This is a powerful yet charming movie; fun for its special effects and profound in how it keeps you thinking long after it“s over. Like others, I”ve seen this movie more than once. One comment I“ve never heard is that Forrest”s simplicity is almost zen-like. I should read the novel to get the author“s intention (I remember some people preferring the book and complaining that no one at the Academy Awards gave him any credit.) But rather than an implication that you should do what you”re supposed to do and believe in God and you“ll win in the end, I see it as zen-like, i.e., living in the moment and not having expectations or particular cravings (other than his loving Jenny.)
So he ends up just stumbling into all the major historical events of the time. Granted, he achieves this only because he doesn”t have the brains to think otherwise and actually have expectations, but so many of our problems are because we do have higher intellect and desires, which ironically makes us unhappy because we know what we are missing. We love our cats and dogs for the same simplicity and always being in the moment. There“s a line in the movie wondering if everything is predestined or happens randomly or it”s a combination of both. It is something to mull over for a long time.
阿甘正传观后感英文 第7篇
I first knew this film Forrest Gump when I was in my middle school ,but I did‘t see this film until the first year of my college.I had to admit that this film really impressed me deeply .Before I see Forrest Gump,I always think that this film tells us a story of a fool according to its name.After watching the whole film ,I totally felt that the protagonist Forrest Gump was the cleverest and the luckiest person in the world .He knew when to do the right thing ,how to do the right thing ,which one he should choose and what he should do .He was a person who knew how to do business and how to make money.Someone may say that he was so lucky that all his success was due to his luck ,but some may claim that the reason why he was so successful was his attitude towards the life:life is like box of chocolates ,you never know what you are gonna get.Stupid is as stupid does .(copied from the film subtitle)It was his attitude towards life and his value system that made him the most successful person in the film ,and it was this unique understanding of life that made him the stupidest one in the film .He is envied by others but he did‘t know why .He was himself and life was so simple .
Frankly speaking ,I have watched this film for three times ,but each time I would find something new from each person and I would also feel more impressed by Forrest Gump and some other person around him.From the very beginning ,we all could see that Forrest Gump was an abnormal child .He could not walk as other children in the school .His Intelligence Quotient was only 75 ,which was not enough to enter a school .It was his mother ,a single mum,who tried her best to persuade the principal to accept him ,and then he was able to go to school to study and play .Here we could see that his mother loved him so much and she really suffered a lot in life but she was so optimistic to life .She also told his son that he was the same as others and he should not feel ashamed for his legs were supported by the irony holders .She always encouraged her son because she believed he could make it .When Forrest Gump entered school ,almost all the kids laughed him and they did not want to play with him .Only a little girl Jenny ,who was also a poor kid from a special family would like to make friends with him .They were good friends for those years and they always helped each other .When those bad boys bullied Forrest Gump ,Jenny told him to run as quickly as he could .It was Jenny‘s encouragement that made Forrest Gump run out of those bad boys and also run out of his chains ,the irony holders .And from then on , Jenny always told Forrest Gump that whenever or whatever he met ,just ran away and did not do some fighting or he would suffer a lot . After Forrest Gump entered college , he took part in the Rugby team and he really did a good job because he remembered Jenny‘s words:run ,run ,run .He also got some awards for his excellent performance in the competition .He was really an excellent rugby player for he really ran quickly .His mother was so proud of him and he was also the hero of Jenny .
Someone said that God was so unfair that he did not get what he wanted but why Forrest Gump finally got all what he wanted .For me ,I think that was because the
stupid Forrest Gump had a pure thought and the persevering pursuit ,which did never belong to other common person because of their ―cleverness‖.Compared to Forrest Gump ,Jenny was loser .She just worn the bizarre dress on campus and took some photos ,which made her be expelled by the school and the became a singer in the pub .After that ,she was addicted to some drugs and led a vagrant life through all the states. She always stayed with all kinds of strangers .Although she dressed herself in so many beautiful or even gorgeous clothes ,she had no hope for life .She felt more and more depressed about life .Finally ,she got an incurable disease because of her promiscuous life .At the end of her life ,she decided to marry to Forrest Gump and they lived together with their kid happily .We could see that at the very beginning ,Jenny was so ambitious and she always said that she wanted to fly like a bird with no constraint .However ,she was only enthralled in the spiritual world .For her ,happiness came down so lately and it was so brief and momentary .Just as lot of us ,they always said that they want to succeed but they just paid no effort and even did some wrong things .They would almost not succeed .Therefore ,the essence of life was dealing with concrete matters relating to works and pursuing peace .It was just like the water flowing into the sea ,so peacefully .
Still ,the Lieutenant Dan has the similar fate as Forrest Gump ,who lost his legs during Vietnam War .He always complained the fate ,the God and even Forrest Gump for he save him in the war .He wanted to die for the country gloriously like his forefathers but Forrest Gump saved him .He lived so sadly and hopelessly without legs .He complained a lot but he could not change anything .He just drank everyday and did nothing .However ,life can not change because of your constant complaining .But one day ,he found Forrest Gump was busy shrimping to realize his good friend‘s last wishto be a captain of a shrimping boat .Lieutenant Dan was first totally moved by Forrest Gump .He began to shrimp with Forrest Gump and it was this decision that made him become a millionaire .Finally he got married to a beautiful woman and they lived a happy life .We could see that if Lieutenant Dan kept complaining life and did nothing ,he would never succeed . From another side ,we could see what the war had brought to those soldiers .They devoted all their life to the country and to the war ,but the war could cause some casualties anyway .They did not know why they joined the army ,but they knew that they did some contribution to their country .
―Life is like a box of chocolates and you can never know what you are gonna get next .‖This is the sentence Forrest Gump‘s mother told him and this is also my favourite words in the film .This sentence reflected Forrest Gump ‗s belief:we should treat our life with hope and a wonderful expectation .Because chocolates were so delicious and nice ,Forrest Gump always thought that life was also so wonderful and nice .This might not be the reason for Forrest Gump‘s success ,but it was his attitude towards life .Forrest Gump‘s life was half–made by his mother and half–made by himself .He was not born to be a outstanding person .However ,God was so fair and he always made those who was congenitally deficient know the reality of life earlier and more thoroughly than those who was congenitally superior .What his mother gave hin was the spiritual wealth and this valuable value system had become his own
quality since his mother gave it to him .This was just like his seating in the bench and telling his story to every stranger who sat besides him .Before he began every story ,he would emphasize what his mother always mentioned .It seemed that he was so grateful for his mother and he could never forget what she said in the past .Without his mother‘s devotion ,he could never gain such a success . From the very beginning ,we could see that a white feather flying in the air freely .To be honest ,I did not think a lot about this white feather ,but as the movie went on ,I found this white feather was so important and it might have some special meaning .The white feather was flying in the air very slowly but then it flied very quickly because the wind suddenly flowed violently .It was just like one‘s life .when you were bored ,you were so happy and you had no trouble or no anxiety .However ,as you grew up gradually ,you would find that life was so complicated and it was full of ups and downs .You could not stay like the very beginning ,and you had to do something to adapt to life and solve those troubles .So you must do take some actions and of course your life would be totally different .The white feather flied very high but sometimes very low .It seemed like our life .Sometimes you were so satisfied with your life and you were in the white moment of your life ,but sometimes you felt so depressed about yourself and you were in the dark moment of your life .The feather was also like an angel .It was so beautiful and so pure .It was the symbol of some good quality such as simple ,pure ,persistent and kindness .However ,Forrest Gump had all these good quality ,so it‘s also the symbol of Forrest Gump .He led a very wonderful life ,he was so kindhearted ,he was so pure ,and he was so tough and tensile .Life was like that white feather ,sometimes you need to fly against the rules and wind to overcome thunder and lightning ,sometimes you need to go with the stream ,sometimes you can fly in space ,and sometimes you may fall down the hell .The white feather flied away from Forrest Gump‘s hand but finally flied back to his hand .Life was the seme thing . This film began with a white feather and also end with a white feather .It was an end of Forrest Gump ‗s legendary life .However ,we could say that was another beginning ,the little Forrest Gump .A new legend would began .
For the most time of Forrest Gump‘s life ,he just ran .Because of running ,he got off his holders .Because of running ,he did a good job in the rugby competition .Because of running ,he saved his comrade–in– arms in the Vietnam war .And because of running ,he became one famous person in his state or even the whole country .When others asked him why he always ran ,he answered that very simply :I just want to run .He ran from one state to another state .He always bore Jenny‘s words in his mind :If you are ever in trouble ,don‘t try to be brave ,just run ,just run away .His running had attracted a lot of fans to run after him .But one day he just stopped and turn around .No one knew why ,but he has his reasons .Maybe he just wanted to stop .He was a simple person and he had a simple brain .But it was his simplicity that made him such a success .When Jenny finally went back and lived with him ,he made a proposal .But when asked why he wanted to marry to her ,he said that he loved her .It was so simple but so sincere .He got her heart and they finally got married .
In most time ,we could not find reason to do a thing .Those things we did with no reason were easily abandoned .We easily gave up halfway because of some small setbacks .Life is full of all kings of wonderful things and what you need to do is to have a faith and pursuit .Sometimes you think that you can control everything and then you try your best to hold something .However ,what you have got finally ?You felt surprised and confused .Why could you always not get nothing after such an effort ?In fact ,you are wrong .You have got something ,you have learned something ,of course you have suffered something .Only through those experiences ,can you really experience life .Therefore ,do not always complain something ,and do not think what you have lost .Live your life like Forrest Gump ,and try to fly as high as you can .Finally ,you will find that the higher you fly ,the nearer you are towards the heaven .I think this is the reason why Forrest Gump succeed .Each life track follows some rules and it becomes a miracle when everything is ready .What impressed me last was Forrest Gump‘s attitude towards death .When his mother got an serious disease and were going to die ,he was very sad but she told him that she was old enough to die .He knew that every one could not avoid death .Death is just a part of life ,something we are destined to do .(copied from the film)We really learned something from this film ,Forrest Gump‘s attitude towards life and death ,his simple way of dealing things ,his stupid thought and behavior and his kindness and purity .After watching this film for several times ,we really need to have a thought about our life .We need to live like Forrest Gump.
