Forrest Gump

I watched Forrest Gump today. It was a beautiful movie.

What was interesting was the anecdotes given by Gump's mom such as "stupid is as stupid goes". These are condensed wisdoms of life in a world filled with inequality and strife.

The movie took so many elements of american history and incorporated them into the life of 1 person and from it there is a window for us to look into america and all at the same time generating a compelling storyline.

I could understand the movie from more perspectives as i take lessons in intercultural studies and introduction to british society. I do believe they are beneficial courses to a person's holistic growth.

And then i think:

After all, we live in the same world. What we do should be aimed at the sustainability and diversity of life.
