Forrest Gump “ and Civil Rights in the USA


There are a lot of films which tell us about Civil Rights' History in United States but there's one film that highlights because of creativity to express the facts. The most highlighted themes, which we can analyze, are:

Love

-Forrest , in love with Jenny, defends her against different men with whom she went out, thinking
they were mistreating her, and he was right.

-Jenny had run away several times from Forrest, confused by her feelings. One day, Forrest dares to ask her to marry, but she believes it would be very risky because they could end their friendship of many years.

-That day, Jenny gets pregnant. The baby was Forest's. She couldn't stand being without Forrest and therefore, we believe that she carried away a bit of him with her.Years later, Forrest was telling the story of his life to an interested elderly woman on a bench. He was waiting for the bus because he received a letter from Jenny where she said that he visited her. Forrest was told that they had had a child and she had a serious illness that couldn't be cured. Days later, Jenny died and Forrest devoted his life to his child's education . In addition, he never abandoned Jenny, he would visit her in the cemetery to narrate his exploits.

Loyalty and bravery

In the Vietnam War , Forrest's Lt. was injured on the battlefield. Its principles say that he would rather die than live disabled. Despite its continuing insults to Forrest, he did not leave him alone and carried him with the rest of their companions who had been rescued. Although his legs were amputated, and he hated Forrest because of what happened, Forrest helped him how to live with it.



And finally, you will be able to appreciate our choice of funny and sad scenes:
