Forrest Gump is not a true story. The film is adapted from the novel of the same name published by American writer winston groom in 1986. It depicts an inspirational story of Forrest Gump, a small town boy with congenital mental retardation, who constantly strives for self-improvement, and finally "blessed are fools" and creates miracles in many fields.

Extended data

Forrest Gump is a classic shot by the famous director robert zemeckis in 1994, starring the famous Oscar winner Tom Hanks. After the film was released, it set off a frenzy and won 13 Oscar nominations, and finally won six awards, including best film, best director, best actor and best editing.

This film is based on winston groom's novel Forrest Gump. Comparatively speaking, the original work is an absurd novel full of irony, while the film embellishes and beautifies the story. Forrest Gump is portrayed as the embodiment of virtue in the film, which is honest, trustworthy, earnest, brave and attaches importance to feelings, which makes the film a symbol of idealized morality. ?

Forrest Gump's image subverts the hero image in the normal world, runs counter to the traditional concept and has a strong anti-tradition and anti-mainstream color. What he saw, heard, said and did is not only very representative, but also a direct explanation of history. This visual metaphor is vividly implied in the first shot of the film: a feather flies across houses and roads, and finally falls at Forrest Gump's feet, elegant but unremarkable, casual and inevitable.

Tom Hanks transformed Forrest Gump from a historical projection into a real, flesh-and-blood person. Forrest Gump is a young child who occupies an adult's body, a saint-level fool, an ordinary person who transcends the truth and a nobody who represents national personality.
