《阿甘正传》的英文版观后感

我们要写观后感不过是要英语的。谢谢大家帮帮忙啦！

gump, gifted with a low iq which lets him be adorably childlike even as he grows up, leads a very charmed life: a mother who loves him immensely and who sleeps with the school principal in order to make sure her child has the best education, a miraculous incident that eliminates the need for him to have braces for his legs, a childhood girlfriend who remains faithful to him till the end, surviving vietnam with a medal, and, in general, a propensity for turning everything that happens to him into good. i wonder what the movie is trying to say. from one perspective, it implies that intelligence (as measured by iqs and the general idea of what "smart" is) is a very unnecessary trait. but i think one can look beyond that and say that childlike innocence, which can be considered stupid, has its rewards. throughout the movie, gump is in situations where he is harassed by other people but he never takes offense (except, of course, when his girl jenny is being abused) at any of the insults thrown at him. he is indeed not completely stupid, even though he is portrayed as such, since he can re-assemble guns at high speed, run like crazy, play ping-pong like a maniac, and so on. the fact that gump doesn't take offense, i think, is what keeps him content. he becomes a millionaire, but gives most of the money away. he is honest and open and this, along with his alabama accent, endears him to the audience. but this gets tiresome after a while (especially after 2 hours). i thought the movie was overly long, but that's the only negative thing i have to say. gump rubs elbows with many famous personalities over the last half of the century including elvis presley and nixon, thanks to computer technology (general dan doesn't really lose his legs either---they are just erased and the background is then touched up by using computer graphics programs). the account of how gump is responsible for the gyrations that is so characteristic of presley is very telling of the motives of this movie. gump is contrasted to the famous males, who are idols (in some cases) in today's society, and it appears as though he is better off in comparison: gump's choices in life seem to determine his niceness (he goes to vietnam, keeps his promises ("a promise is a promise") 是这样的吧 不知道写的对不对 呵呵
