2. Plot description
3. Classic lines
4. Film review
To summarize:
Forrest Gump is a simple man with a warm personality. Despite an IQ of 75, he lives a truly amazing life. He sees, and sometimes influences, some of the major events of the second half of the 20th century in the United States. His typical and somewhat ideal (理想的) growth process makes Americans reflect on the past history. Gump’s good virtues also inspire people to pursue(追求) the nature of life. He is honest, brave, hopeful, persistent(坚持不懈的), and faithful to his love and friendship.
To better appreciate a film, you are advise to:
1. Focus on the comparatively independent scenes without reading subtitles, and repeat until you are not able to get more new information.

2. Read the scripts, figuring out meanings of every single word, phrase and sentence

3. Perform the roles with accurate emotions and expressions.
