Forrest Gump – Artistic Response

Movie Clip from Forrest Gump (Click link on the left to watch clip on YouTube.com)

In this clip of Forrest Gump, he was depicted as a hero in this movie.  The movie as a whole was sort of a mix of comedy and tragedy.  Forrest saved the lives of his fellow soldiers.  The clip shows how close battle buddies become as Forrest and Bubba were.  It shows briefly the tragedy of the war and how things happen unexpectedly.  As soon as the rain let up, the enemy started to open fire.  The clip showed how brave Forrest was and how he didn’t think, he just acted and put his life on the line for others.  The clip of the movie was an example of the leadership of the lieutenant and how he wanted to stay back and risk his life to make sure he was still giving orders to his soldiers.  He did not want to be saved while others were without direction.

This clip reminded me of the short story we read in Lesson 2.  As in the short story, Forrest briefly named some of the soldiers.

Please enjoy!
