Forrest Gump

If I was a boy, my parents would have named me Forrest. They thought it was a cool name, and because of  Forrest Gump. The first time I heard that, I thought it was the most rediculous thing I had ever heard, but over the years , it  has definately grown on me. My name is a different name and i love that no one else has it and whenever I tell people my name I get some sort of complement like "oh ive never heard that before, thats so pretty!" And yes, I agree (in my head), it is so pretty. Forrrest has grown on me and now I think if i ever was a boy, i would want to be named Forrest, and if i ever have a son, I would like to at least make his middle name Forrest. I like the name, and I like Forrest Gump. 

If everyone in the world had to watch one movie in hopes of the world being a better place- i think the world should watch Forrest Gump. First of all, its hilarious and easy to Watch; but more so, it is packed with meaning and life lessons. Every time you watch it you see something different.

Forrest: My momma always said, "life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get"

Forrest: And cause I was a gazillionaire, and I liked doin it so much, I cut that grass for free.

I think the best thing about this movie is that Forrest is a perpetual child. He doesn't have buffers and doensn't know what should be fun, or what is cool. He simply does what he enjoys and is himself, not listening to what people tell him is right or wrong, simply following his heart. As he says, stupid is as stupid does. So mabye what we all need is a bit of naivety and carefree in our lives. 

Jenny: Do you ever dream, Forrest, about who you're gonna be?

Forrest: Who I'm gonna be?

Jenny: Yeah.

Forrest: Aren't I going to be me?
