觀 Run, Forrest Run 有感 寫給北京二號
你在《美語世界》論壇貼的英語朗誦《每日一篇新概念》，鼓勵著大家。不少的網友都在默默地跟讀，也有的網友受你的感染，在《美語世界》論壇貼他們的英語朗誦作品。你的英語朗誦可所謂是“一日千裏”，你的好學的精神，你的堅持精神，是我們大家學習的楷模。
正如《美語世界》論壇網友愛笑的土豆送給你的文章裏寫道的，我摘錄如下：
（請點擊欣賞送北京二號：阿甘，Run）
“喜歡阿甘Run那一幕，沒有特殊的理由，沒有特殊的目標，卻擁有可貴的執著。所以也擁有了追隨他的同行者。阿甘從不在意別人的猜測，誤解，抑或讚美，阿甘 just run!
看見你每天的新貼，不禁慚愧，自己竟很難堅持日日跟聽，追不上阿甘前行的腳步。但很高興看見總有跟著你飛跑的朋友，新朋不斷！
俺也自我安慰：雖然咱跑不動，跑不快，但俺可以默默喜歡阿甘，在精神上跟跑。
阿甘，Run!
－－－愛笑的土豆”
說來慚愧，我沒有完整地看過《Forrest Gump》這部電影。昨天晚上在家裏看了你貼的Video《Run, Forrest run! 》，頗受啟迪。（請點擊欣賞：Run, Forrest Run ）
Forrest Gump坐在rocking chair上，若有所思，戴上冒子，陡然地從rocking chair站起來，開始了他的奔跑。。。。。。
他跑呀，跑呀，跑過了多少的大小城鎮，趟過了多少的河流山川，經曆了無數的日升日落，嚐過了數不盡的夕陽晨露。滿身塵土，頭發也長了。然而，這一幕讓我動容：Forrest Gump突然停下來，回過頭來，怔怔地望著一路來跟隨著他奔跑的人群：真是：“此處無聲勝有聲。”也讓我想起了昨天晚上念親貼的那首歌曲：《離家的路》，歌中唱到“請你等我回來循著當初離家的路。”（請點擊欣賞：離家的路）
我剛剛又去網上查了電影《Forrest Gump 》相關的介紹，受益匪淺。Tom Hanks的在影片裏精湛的表演，真是令人歎服。想起了林清玄寫過的一篇散文《生命的化妝》，他在文章中引用了一位化妝師的話：“化妝的最高境界可以用兩個字形容，就是‘自然’。我想，演戲亦如此，我感覺Tom Hanks就是Forrest Gump，忘記他是在演電影了。Tom Hanks因這部影片而獲得奧斯卡最佳男演員真是當之無愧。
北京二號，我知道你對這個電影已經是耳熟能詳了。 還是忍不住和你分享，我在網上查到的Memorable quotes for《Forrest Gump》。
Beijing #2, I have to stop here now. Today is my little Tony's seventh birthday. Tell you what? A few days before his birthday, he constantly reminds me: " Mommy, there are six days left, three days, one day left." lol...
We are going to take him out to celebrate his birthday party in a restaurant which has delicious food to eat and fun games for kids to play after the meal. Then we will have a party at home for him, too. Happy 7th birthday to my little Tony.
北京二號，我永遠地為你加油和喝彩。
願你和你的家人度過一個快樂的周末，

Memorable Quotes For Forrest Gump
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mrs. Gump: You have to do the best with what God gave you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Forrest Gump: You know it's funny what a young man recollects? 'Cause I don't remember bein' born. I don't recall what I got for my first Christmas and I don't know when I went on my first outdoor picnic. But I do remember the first time I heard the sweetest voice in the wide world.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jenny Curran: Were you scared in Vietnam?
Forrest Gump: Yes. Well, I-I don't know. Sometimes it would stop raining long enough for the stars to come out... and then it was nice. It was like just before the sun goes to bed down on the bayou. There was always a million sparkles on the water... like that mountain lake. It was so clear, Jenny, it looked like there were two skies one on top of the other. And then in the desert, when the sun comes up, I couldn't tell where heaven stopped and the earth began. It's so beautiful.
Jenny Curran: I wish I could've been there with you.
Forrest Gump: You were.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Forrest Gump: What's my destiny, Mama?
Mrs. Gump: You're gonna have to figure that out for yourself.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Forrest Gump: That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run. So I ran to the end of the road. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd run to the end of town. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd just run across Greenbow County. And I figured, since I run this far, maybe I'd just run across the great state of Alabama. And that's what I did. I ran clear across Alabama. For no particular reason I just kept on going. I ran clear to the ocean. And when I got there, I figured, since I'd gone this far, I might as well turn around, just keep on going. When I got to another ocean, I figured, since I'd gone this far, I might as well just turn back, keep right on going.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Forrest Gump: I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floatin' around accidental-like on a breeze. But I, I think maybe it's both.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jenny Curran: Do you ever dream, Forrest, about who you're gonna be?
Forrest Gump: Who I'm gonna be?
Jenny Curran: Yeah.
Forrest Gump: Aren't-aren't I going to be me?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Forrest Gump
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Forrest Gump is a 1994 comedy-drama film based on the 1986 novel of the same name by Winston Groomand the name of the title character of both. The film garnered a total of thirteen Academy Award nominations, of which it won six, including Best Picture, Best Visual Effects, Best Director (Robert Zemeckis), and Best Actor (Tom Hanks).
The film tells the story of a man and his epic journey through life meeting historical figures, influencing popular culture and experiencing first-hand historic events of the 20th century while being largely unaware of their significance, due to his low intelligence. The film differs substantially from the book on which it was based.
The film begins with a feather falling to the feet of Forrest Gump, who is sitting at a bus stop in Savannah. Forrest picks up the feather and puts it in the book Curious George, then tells the story of his life to a woman seated next to him. The listeners at the bus stop change regularly throughout his narration, each showing a different reaction to his narration ranging from disbelief and indifference to rapt veneration.
On his first day of school, he meets a girl named Jenny Curran, who, according to Forrest, has the most beautiful name in the world. Her life is followed in parallel to Forrest's at times. One day after school, Forrest is being threatened by a group of bullies because of his leg braces. Jenny tells him to run, and he does so, losing his leg braces in the process. Having discarded his leg braces, his ability to run at lightning speed becomes his favored method of travel. During his senior year in high school, threatened by the same group of bullies, he runs through a football field and it gets him into college on a football scholarship playing for Paul "Bear" Bryant at the University of Alabama. He excels at football so much that he becomes an All-American, and meets John F. Kennedy.
After his college graduation, he enlists in the United States Army. In boot camp, Forrest makes fast friends with a man named Bubba Blue (Mykelti Williamson), who convinces Forrest to go into the shrimping business with him when the war is over. Forrest excels in training and after finishing boot camp, Bubba and Forrest are assigned to the same platoon in Vietnam. As soon as they arrive with their new platoon, they meet their new platoon leader, Second Lieutenant Dan Taylor (Gary Sinise). Dan came from a military family and had lost an ancestor in every American war. Later while on patrol, Forrest's platoon is ambushed. Though Forrest rescues many of the men including Dan, whose legs were severely injured and are later amputated, Bubba is killed in action.
While Forrest is in recovery for a bullet shot to his buttocks, he discovers his uncanny ability for ping-pong, eventually gaining popularity and rising to celebrity status; later playing ping-pong in China. Forrest is awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroism during the ambush, is promoted to Sergeant, and meets Lyndon B. Johnson at his award ceremony.
After meeting Abbie Hoffman at an anti-war rally in Washington, D.C., Forrest reunites with Jenny, who has been living a hippie counterculture life. He also encounters Dan, who has become a bitter alcoholic, having felt that it was his destiny to die on the battlefield in Vietnam. Forrest celebrates New Year's Eve with Dan, who is initially hostile and uses Forrest as a means of obtaining alcohol. When Forrest tells of his and Bubba's plan to buy a shrimping boat, Dan mocks Forrest and sarcastically promises that he will become first mate of the ship. However, Dan later finds empathy with the fact that Forrest has been discriminated against in the past because of his perceived low IQ, likening it to his own experience of disability.
After Forrest inadvertently triggers the Watergate scandal, he is honorably discharged from the army and returns home to Alabama. He finds that his mother has endorsed a company that makes ping-pong paddles, earning himself $25,000, which he uses to buy a shrimping boat, a new hair cut, a new suit, fancy dinner for his mother, a bus ticket and three Dr Pepper soft drinks (spending a total of $24,000 on the boat) fulfilling his promise to Bubba. Lieutenant Dan returns to fulfill his earlier promise and becomes first mate of the boat. Forrest and Dan fail to pull in much shrimp at first. During Hurricane Carmen, both men stay out in the middle of the ocean with the boat, and by fate, theirs is the only shrimping boat in the area to survive. The lack of competition helps Dan and Forrest to catch huge amounts of shrimp. Dan invests the money in Apple Computer, "some kind of fruit company", and Forrest is financially secure for the rest of his life. Forrest names his company Bubba Gump, which has inspired an actual shrimp restaurant. Returning home, Forrest finds out that his mother has cancer and she later dies.
One day, Jenny returns to visit Forrest, and he proposes marriage to her. She declines, though feels obliged to prove her love to him by sleeping with him. She leaves early the next morning. On a whim, Forrest elects to go for a run. Seemingly capriciously, he decides to keep running across the country several times, over some three and a half years, becoming famous in the process. During his run, Forrest unwittingly inspires two separate entrepreneurs to create Smiley Face/"Have a Nice Day" T-shirts and "Shit Happens" bumper stickers.
In the present, Forrest reveals that he is waiting at the bus stop because he had received a letter from Jenny, who, having seen him run on television, asks him to visit her. Once he is reunited with Jenny, Forrest discovers that she has a young son, of whom Forrest is the father. Jenny tells Forrest she is suffering from a virus (possibly AIDS, though this is never definitively stated).[1][2][3] Together the three move back to Greenbow, Alabama. Jenny and Forrest finally marry, with Dan arriving for the wedding (now able to walk on two legs with the use of prosthetic limbs) along with his fiancée. However, Jenny dies soon afterward.
The film ends with father and son waiting for the school bus on little Forrest's first day of school. Opening the book his son is taking to school, the white feather from the beginning of the movie is seen to fall from within the pages. As the bus pulls away, the white feather is caught on a breeze and drifts skyward.
