represent rebel. Maybe destiny is like that feather, which has no concrete direction ,and the ordinary experience tired us. However, any turning is controlled by themselves freely, there‘s one thing you must do ─ do you best. LOVE ―I‘m not a smart man, but I know what love is.‖ Love is film‘s eternal theme. We give our tears and laughter generously. The love in this film is a process which a man with low IQ speaks out ―love‖. I think that Forrest doesn‘t only say to Jenny, but also say to his mother and Buba. Because the love realized by Forrest includes many things, not only heart. The death of his mother and many times Jenny‘s disappearance let Forrest know what love is .In fact, no matter whether Jenny love Forrest, Forrest gets love and we get love from this film. Classic Lines 1. Mama says, ―Stupid is as stupid does. ‖ 妈妈说，“做傻事的才是傻瓜”。 2. If God intended everybody to be the same, he?d have given us all braces on our legs. 如果上帝要让人人都一样的话，他会给每人一双脚撑。 3. You got to put the past behind you before you can move on. 你只有忘记以往的事情,才能够继续前进。 4. I don‘t know if we each have a destiny, or if we‘re all just floating around accidental—like on a breeze. 我不懂我们是否有着各自的命运，还是只是到处随风飘荡 5.If there is anything you need, I will not be far away. 只要你需要，我就在这里。 Questions before viewing: 4． Some people think this is one of the greatest movies ever made. Do you agree? Give your reasons. 5． Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you‘re going to get.‖ is one of the classical actor lines in the movie. Can you use a figuration to show your understanding of life? 6． Do you think Forest Gump is stupid? Give your reasons. 教学小结 During the 1990s, American society of anti-intellectual sentiment is in high spirits. Hollywood launched a batch of film about demeaning to modern civilization, advocating low IQ and to return to the original, the American media called \Forrest Gump is a masterpiece of anti-intellectual movies.
