In the sky, a feather fluttered with the wind, floated over the treetops, flew into the sky ... and finally landed at Forrest Gump's feet. Forrest Gump sat on a bench in Alabama and told the passers-by waiting for the bus the story of his life.
Forrest Gump was born in a remote town in southern Alabama shortly after the end of World War II. He was born mentally retarded with an IQ of only 75. However, his mother is a strong woman. She wants her son to live like other normal people. She often encourages Forrest Gump to be "stupid" and asks him to constantly strive for self-improvement. God did not abandon Forrest Gump. He not only gave Forrest Gump a pair of "flying legs" like flying, but also gave him a pure and upright heart without any evil thoughts. On the school bus, Forrest Gump met Jenny, a blonde girl (Jenny is a girl "abused" by her father). Since then, with the love of mom and Jenny, Forrest Gump has been running all his life.
In middle school, Forrest Gump ran into a football field of the school to avoid being chased by his classmates, so he ran into the university. In college, he was admitted to the university, became a football superstar, and was received by President Kennedy.
After graduating from college, Forrest Gump joined the Vietnam War at the instigation of a recruit. His troops were ambushed in a battle. With a retreat order, Forrest Gump remembered Jenny's instructions and ran away. His scud saved his life. In the Vietnam War, Forrest Gump made two good friends: Babu, who was keen on catching shrimp (later killed) and the awesome captain Deng Taylor.
After the war, Forrest Gump was injured and saved his comrades. As a hero, he was received by President Johnson. At an anti-war rally, Forrest Gump met Jenny again. Jenny has fallen and lived a dissolute life. Forrest Gump has always loved Jenny, but Jenny doesn't love him. The two met in a hurry and broke up in a hurry.
As an emissary of ping-pong diplomacy, Forrest Gump once participated in a ping-pong competition in China, which contributed to the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States.
Under the guidance of the creed of "keeping your word", Forrest Gump finally broke into a sky of his own. He taught Elvis Presley to dance; Writing songs for John Lennon; In the surging civil rights movement, he disintegrated a large-scale ethnic conflict that was on the verge of exploding; He even unconsciously forced the thieves who sneaked into the Watergate building to fall into the law, which eventually led to the collapse of President Nixon. (This passage was omitted from the film.)
Because "blessed are the fools", Forrest Gump also made a fortune by mistake and became a millionaire. Forrest Gump didn't want to be burdened by fame and fortune, so he became a gardener. Forrest Gump often misses Jenny, who has already gone astray and fallen into despair. Finally one day, Jenny came back. She lived with Forrest Gump for a while. One night, Jenny fell into Forrest Gump's arms and left quietly at dawn. Three years later, Forrest Gump met Jenny again and had a little boy, his son. At this time, Jenny got an incurable disease. Forrest Gump took Jenny and his son back to their hometown and had a happy time.
Jenny died and their son was old enough to go to school. One day, Forrest Gump sent his son to the school bus. At this time, a feather fell from his son's book, and a gust of wind blew, and it began to dance in the wind again.
Different from the original novel
The films adapted from Forrest Gump's novels are all stories about Forrest Gump's protagonist, but the films pay more attention to the beginning of the novel, and the chapter 1 1 changed the ending that Forrest Gump's shrimp farming company finally became a street monopoly. Not to mention how Forrest Gump became an astronaut, lived in a cannibal tribe, became friends with orangutans, and became a chess and wrestling star. Forrest Gump's girlfriend Jane did not die of terminal illness (AIDS), but became a nurse after pregnancy. When Forrest Gump was wandering in the street, he also met his son Forrest Gump Jr. with superior IQ. Forrest Gump's experience in China has also been greatly simplified, with no humorous plot at all.
However, the film added some plots, such as putting a bracket on his leg and then traveling all over the United States.
Forrest Gump's core characteristics and personality have also been changed in the film. Forrest Gump in the novel can't always have unexpected blessings as he wishes, and he is brilliant, treating wealth like dirt and advocating liberalism. Forrest Gump in the film is more persistent, eventually successful, and even quite organized. It is reported that the original author Winston Grum was bored with this change. Download address/search?
