  • Essay / Forrest Gump Film Analysis - 811

    It's really hard for me to pick just three films as my favorites. After careful selection, the three winners for my favorite films are Forrest Gump (1994), Memento (2000), and Shutter Island (2010). Forrest Gump is a 1994 American epic romantic comedy-drama film based on the 1986 novel of the same name by Winston Groom. In the film, Gump is a man with a low IQ but he appeared interestingly (The Script Lab, 2011) in many historical moments. The story begins with Forrest picking up the quill and putting it in the book Curious George. While waiting for the bus in Savannah, Georgia, Gump begins to tell his life story to the woman sitting next to him. In Gump's life, he teaches Elvis Presley to dance, becomes a football star, meets John Kennedy, serves in the army in Vietnam, meets Lyndon Johnson, speaks at an anti-war rally at the Washington Monument , hangs out with the Yippies, beats the Chinese national table tennis team, meets Richard Nixon, discovers the Watergate burglary, opens a profitable shrimp business, becomes an original investor in Apple Computers, and decides to travel the country for several years .Forrest Gump is categorized as a drama and there are so many established elements to why it is a drama. According to The Script Lab (2011), the dramatic film is based on the emotional and relational development of realistic characters. The plot of a drama film always relies on dramatic themes and this type of relationship development. These dramatic themes include intense relationships and real-life issues. The drama film aims to honestly tell a story of human struggles, no matter whether the protagonist is facing internal or external problems. The first shot of the opening sequence...... middle of paper ...... wrist ending will undoubtedly be unsatisfying and entirely predictable. I like to think a lot, whatever happens, I like to get to the bottom of everything. How does a computer work? Why a particular politician would support an act or theory. It's just who I am. In most detective films, you will have the opportunity to guess the director who is leading us or sometimes deceiving us. With everyone's own experiences, we may arrive at a different ending or outcome from the facts and clues in the film. Getting a result from a logical thought process doesn't mean I can't be emotional. I can also feel, love or hate someone, but I insist that emotions must be guided by logical facts and vice versa. When it comes to real matters, we should not let emotion cloud our judgments and we should be happy or furious with the facts presented to us..
