Introduction?In the afternoon, I watched the film Forrest Gump. It is an American movie inspired by a novel of the same name. The author of this novel is Winston Gram. The film is awarded Oscar. I cant help retelling the whole story. This is a powerful yet charming movie; fun for its special effects and profound in how it keeps you thinking long after it are over. Like others, Ive seen this movie more than once. One comment Ive never heard is that Forrests simplicity is almost Zen-like. I should read the novel to get the authors intention. But rather than an implication that you should do what youre supposed to do and believe in God and youll win in the end, I see it as Zen-like, i.e., living in the moment and not having expectations or particular cravings .So he ends up just stumbling into all the major historical events of the time. Granted, he achieves this only because he doesnt have the brains to think otherwise and actually have expectation
