Blu-ray Reviews of Forrest Gump (Sapphire Series) [Blu-ray]
Blu-ray Review: simple but fabulous book
Summary: 5 Stars
This novel is simple, but it is a great story. Forrest is an idiot and sometimes he could not do some simple things as other people do. Jenny is Forrest's best friend since their childhoods. Forrest has a strong feeling to Jenny, later Jenny becomes his girlfriend. Unfortunately, they are not together by the end of the story. Forrest's mother always said, "Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." This is a simple sentence, but it has influenced Forrest a lot. This sentence represents not to focus on the result because we never know what we're going to get. Also, this sentence implies that life is full of surprise like a box of chocolates which make Forrest expect to enjoy having his life. According to this novel, we have seen many things that Forrest's mom does for him, and he cannot succeed his life without his mom. For example, his mother sent him to public school because she believes that it would help him to be like everybody else. She does her best and gives everything she can. she is a great mom. Forrest's story encourages many people because he is braved and he is not easy to give up his life even he has low IQ. This is an encouraged book, so people who luck confident or complain about their lives should read this book to cheer up. Many people like to complain what they don't have, but they always forget what they have. However, Forrest is different from other people because he never focuses on his disadvantages. Dan is Forrest's commanding officer and he lost his legs during the Vietnam War. Then, Dan was sent back to the United States, and lived with the government welfare. It is hard for him to live like that because he used to be an officer, but now he has to rely on government welfare. Many times he wants to die, but he did not do because he still has some hope for his life. At the end, he worked with Forrest and they run shrimp business successfully. In conclusion, this is a good book, and everyone should read it because one can always learn something from this book.
Description of Forrest Gump (Sapphire Series) [Blu-ray]
"Stupid is as stupid does," says Forrest Gump (played by Tom Hanks in an Oscar-winning performance) as he discusses his relative level of intelligence with a stranger while waiting for a bus. Despite his sub-normal IQ, Gump leads a truly charmed life, with a ringside seat for many of the most memorable events of the second half of the 20th century. Entirely without trying, Forrest teaches Elvis Presley to dance, becomes a football star, meets John F. Kennedy, serves with honor in Vietnam, meets Lyndon Johnson, speaks at an anti-war rally at the Washington Monument, hangs out with the Yippies, defeats the Chinese national team in table tennis, meets Richard Nixon, discovers the break-in at the Watergate, opens a profitable shrimping business, becomes an original investor in Apple Computers, and decides to run back and forth across the country for several years. Meanwhile, as the remarkable parade of his life goes by, Forrest never forgets Jenny (Robin Wright Penn), the girl he loved as a boy, who makes her own journey through the turbulence of the 1960s and 1970s that is far more troubled than the path Forrest happens upon. Featured alongside Tom Hanks are Sally Field as Forrest's mother; Gary Sinise as his commanding officer in Vietnam; Mykelti Williamson as his ill-fated Army buddy who is familiar with every recipe that involves shrimp; and the special effects artists whose digital magic place Forrest amidst a remarkable array of historical events and people.The Academy Award winner for Best Picture, Best Director Robert Zemeckis, and Best Actor Tom Hanks, this unlikely story of a slow-witted but good-hearted man somehow at the center of the pivotal events of the 20th century is a funny and heartwarming epic. Hanks plays the title character, a shy Southern boy in love with his childhood best friend (Robin Wright) who finds that his ability to run fast takes him places. As an All-Star football player he meets John F. Kennedy; as a soldier in Vietnam he's a war hero; and as a world champion Ping-Pong player he's hailed by Richard Nixon. Becoming a successful shrimp-boat captain, he still yearns for the love of his life, who takes a quite different and much sadder path in life. The visual effects incorporating Hanks into existing newsreel footage is both funny and impressive, but the heart of the film lies in its sweet love story and in the triumphant performance of Hanks as an unassuming soul who savors the most from his life and times. --Robert Lane
