forrest gump

forrest gump is an all-american movie. it's all about how we've been, how we've lived, since the 60's, even early 50's. it's about a slow person who can run fast, who can start his own business, who can get the girl and get married and be a father and husband, a good father and a good husband.

having said all that, i decided to buy this movie on dvd because i am paying respect where respect is due. it's a film about vietnam, about the anti-war protests, about all of these things. and i hope to watch this film every so often. yes, maybe we are destined to live the lives we lead. maybe it's chance. maybe we make our own destiny. maybe all of these are true.
