Discuss the movie Forrest Gump after reading the following passage:
When Forrest Gump first came out, a lot of Americans felt embarrassed by its portrayal of them. Well, I can sympathize with the feeling. After all, Australia has produced some pretty embarrassing lifestyle movies, including Muriel's Wedding, Strictly ballroom and Crocodile Dundee. The thing is, no one outside of your own country can see anything to be embarrassed about. So I guess we should all just relax and enjoy the film.
Forrest Gump was an adorable piece of cinema. Tom Hanks was up to his usual high quality, but the star of the film had to be the script. Every now and then a movie comes out that is simply refreshing, and this was one of the best. Forrest is a character permanently in the role as underdog, not because of his failures but in spite of his successes. It is not possible to feel jealous of this good natured simpleton, no matter how many presidents he meets or how much he earns. We always cheer him on.
I had fun with the movie on many levels. The script was full of double meanings and clever references. The special effects were flawless and yet unnoticed. The winding, serendipitous path Gump's life took was surprisingly believable. And finally the characters were heart warming. The very lack of pretension in Forest only served to highlight it in the“normal”characters. Forrest Gump is the sort of film that leaves you feeling good but also prompts you to wonder about the true meaning of life. No one should feel embarrassed by this great film.
Discussion with your partner:
1．Why did a lot of Americans feel embarrassed by its portrayal of them?
2．What did the writer think of the movie?
3．What do you think of the movie?
Let the group of four discuss freely. They can have any answers to the questions.
