《阿甘正传》英文观后感
Some thinking after seeing the film the legend of Aghan
After seeing the movie, I cant help thinking a lot. As his mother’s word, "Life is like a box of chocolates, Forrest. You never know what you're going to get. " , we never lose heart and always go ahead towards our planned goals until we make it.
In fact, in the movie Aghan is the symbol of virtue, honesty, seriousness, and courage and he is a very pure and nice man. During the whole movie, what you feel is the gentle and soft feelings expressed through harmonious plots and lines and even with some poetic components. Especially at the beginning of the movie, a white and light feather is flying here and there and finally it falls at the foot of Aghan who is sitting on the bench and waiting for a bus. In my opinion, it implies that he is a pure and na?ve ma n.
From the movie we can learn half of his life is created by his mother and the other by himself. Maybe he is not destined to be a wonderful person, but God is fair and God makes him realize what the true life is. In some point, some born excellent maybe never appreciate the life deeply like him.
Aghan’s mother plays a very important role in his life, or we can say, his mother factually is hi spiritual fortune which influences all his life. As he is telling of his legendary life to a strange passerby when he is sitting on the long bench, he adds my mother says to every beginning of his words. For instance, my mother says, you must know you are same with others and you have nothing different from them, nothing. My mother says, when I do one thing, I just tell myself, I will spare no efforts to do it as I am your mother, and you have no choice. God gives you to me, my child, then I should make great efforts to do it and I make it.
He is a very obedient boy and he keeps all the works in his mind. As he says, the man who is stupid can have his own field. When jenny asks him to run, he begins to run unsteadily and at last, he throws away his first pair of magic shoes and at the same time he finds that he is good at running. From hen, he is always running and later, he runs into the rugby team, then university, then his life from the war and then honor and friendship.
He has no ambition and of course he also loses a lot. He has only a few friends and he is always being made fun of by others. He knows how to love. Although he is not clever, but he knows how to let the life full of hope and so he wins honor, fortune and love which can’t be got by ordinary people at the same time.
We can find that in every stage of his life he has a goal which directs how to advance ahead. Therefore, he makes his mind to try to achieve the goal without distraction. He is a man who has no other selfish thoughts and only this kind of person can smile at the life at any time.
As a matter of face, our life is just like this, and just like at the beginning and the end of the film, a white feather is floating. Most of our life, we are also floating without definite direction, aimless, and maybe boring. However, maybe a turnaround can be controlled by ourselves. What you need to do is to make it perfect and don’t mind what you will get and how much you will get and then only in this way will you fly higher and higher until up to the heaven. So I believe his success is anything but a coincidence. In fact, there is nothing in life that occurs unexpectedly and it always follows some kind of rules. only if you have been prepared, wonder is to come.
This kind of story always moves us and leaves us an unforgettable impression in our life. Maybe, in ten ears or twenty years, even longer time, we still remember that there is a stupid man named Aghan who is always running and running and at last he runs a distinctive life.
