Chapter 44 Masterpiece

I must admit the opening of the movie is indeed exquisite. Amidst the light and airy music, a white feather drifts with the wind, from the sky to the city, from the city to the trees, from the trees to the streets, and finally landing on the shoes of the main character. A simple shot, yet just as simple in piquing the curiosity of the audience.

Then naturally comes the introduction of Forrest Gump through the lens. Just a few short lines, and an ingenuous, sincere man suddenly comes alive on the screen. Tom Hanks's acting is truly exceptional. Then, the reminiscing begins. The early plot doesn't have too many highlights, just a small sigh for the scene where Forrest's mother has to sleep with the principal to get her son into a regular school.
