Forrest Gump is one of the most inspirational films that leave a deep impression on me.
Forrest Gump is an American film, which is adapted from the novel written by Winston Groom. Tom Hanks stars in the film.
Forrest Gump, the main character, was unfortunately born with a lower IQ, but he is an open- minded person with strong determination. It is unbelievable that he has achieved great success at last. Not only is he a football star, but he is also a war hero and later a millionaire.
The film is filled with a tender feeling and kindness. What's more, it conveys a message that we should take a positive attitude towards life. No matter what difficulty we face in life, we should not give up. Besides, the use of language is striking, which also makes the film a success.
