Reflection of a life with purpose

I am a fan of watching old movies, more than new movies. I just lost count of how many times I've seen Forrest Gump, and today I saw it again. I was so happy to see it because it is a movie with a unique life lesson. I cry every time I see her and I could see her a million more times and still cry again. I observed how a subject with a limited intellectual capacity broke all prejudices and fulfilled all his dreams, and one of his attributes that led him to succeed in everything was to preserve his innocence. Through his innocence, Forrest knew and put into practice his best and greatest abilities: having faith in himself, maintaining hope, loving purely and overcoming all social prejudices, maintaining a balance to do all things and say everything he thought even when everyone laughed at him, but the most important for me was perseverance. So I ask myself: why a man with limited intellectual capacities could achieve everything that we people with a normal coefficient cannot? Is there something that society imposes and that clouds our ability to think, do and feel? Many people called him a fool, but apparently the fools were those people. The moral from my point of view is to let go of what is not really important in life and from our innocent soul to seek our destiny.

Hi, Tom has several interpretations that I liked. At one time, I believed that he focused on roles that suggested the search for the inner individual, such as in "The Castaway."

Fault finding is a very nature of every man.

I liked to think that there is always a possibility for everyone and for everything. In a world where every day society is frustrated with what it does not obtain, while others achieve more than they had imagined.

I consider myself very humanistic, every time I watch movies with a life purpose I think that each person should be universally happy and full.

A new movie is fine, I wanted to analyze the content of "this" movie in particular. But it is also valid.

It was a wonderful movie, but a fantasy. Everything that happened to Forrest was based on pure luck alone. In my opinion, he was mentally challenged with a low IQ.
