The movie "Forrest Gump" Winston Gelumu adapted from the novel of the same name, is an original full of ironic novels, from the anti-mainstream status, and the film is the story of a furnishing and landscaping, are on the on the mainstream ideology, it is the myth of the American people comforter, and this has undoubtedly more videos of the tastes of the audience and the judges, but the expense of the struggle against the original spirit of treason, the film has become a symbol of idealistic moral, the United States is "Hollywood" film factory values, also in line with the United States precisely the top of the mainstream consciousness.
The story is about an IQ of only 75 children through their own efforts from the primary "running" to a secondary school, "running" to the university, then "running" to the Vietnam battlefield, the Vietnam War and then crazy "run" their love The story of a determined.
I think this is the story of a false determined, although the film shows the 1950s -80 people in the United States and positive social image, but to know that the film society is not true behind the appearance of the film - that the 1950s to the 1980s the United States, blacks oppose racial discrimination, and anti-Vietnam War sentiment is plaguing the United States the upper class, and also people lose confidence in the future of the country and look forward to, in the face of the failure of the Vietnam War, the people of their own country, have been the fate of the future lost their fighting spirit, full of negative emotions confused, and the movie "Taxi driver" reflects the historical background, the keynote is the same.
At this time, "Forrest Gump" is a panacea for economic soothe people, and the image of Agam is playing a mainstream and the mainstream anti-coordination between.
In fact, the image through film, we can see that the United States at that time director Robert placed by the hope --
1. Agam friendship with Bubba
Bubba and Agam are the same soldiers participated in the Vietnam War, but Bubba is a black man. Directed by the Vietnam battlefield, Agam rescue Bubba, Bubba after growing friendship and Agam, to express the reality of the absence of ethnic conflict.
It also carries their directors and the public to ease the aspirations of ethnic conflict.
2. Agam and Jennifer Love
Agam since the Vietnam War back after Jennifer have degenerated, and led a dissolute life, Agam has been love Jennifer, but Jennifer is like a fan as missing, and later, Jennifer back into the embrace of the Agam, Agam and share weal and woe with the some time, and after Jennifer left, left, Agam Agam, in order to find Jennifer has been running, Wong paid off days later, Jennifer brought back and the son of Agam But this time Jennifer has had the incurable disease, will soon be dead.
Through the bewildering love, the film reflects the trauma of peace and anti-war history and the absence of the women's liberation movement.
Jennifer as an anti-war image in the mainstream, and to degenerate until the death of the possibility of not hope to achieve.
I think here also carries their people for the fate of their country lost.
3. Agam and Lieutenant Dan
Role in the Vietnam War, Agam two friends: a love of shrimp Bubba, it is an awesome Lieutenant Dan.
Directed by Vietnam on the battlefield Agam Lieutenant Dan risking death to rescue a show to demonstrate to everyone in the mainstream society of the ideological and moral rescue.
The film is not so much soothe the myth of the American people is not to say that this film is a great film that the American people.
A film, then a feather Homelessness with the wind, struggling to shake Homelessness, the American public has faith in God Nietzsche is dead? Modern society people in the face of the era of mechanical reproduction really do not know what a collapse? People do not know the fate of the place where they believe they should not be the fate into their own hands, but should master by the wind and let their Homelessness, I think this is the American people face the destiny of a pessimistic mood bar.
But even confused even confused, or to continue to live, there is still hope that everything, and it is also the upper mainstream of the United States of expectation. After all, human vulnerability is the need to soothe the soul, so in the clear theme of this film, we still believe that Hemingway's "this world is a good place, it is worth fighting for her."
1995年，美國電影技術大師羅伯特·澤梅基斯拍攝了影片《阿甘正傳》，壹舉奪得了奧斯卡最佳影片、最佳導演、最佳改編劇本等六項大獎，從此羅伯特聲明鵲起，也因此出現了有別於好萊塢模式化的電影類型。當時美國立即掀起了壹股“阿甘熱”，所謂“阿甘熱”就是代表了美國主流社會文化，從主流意識形態的價值取向出發，來積極面對美國在遭遇磨難時的立誌熱。
影片《阿甘正傳》改編自溫斯頓·格魯姆的同名小說，原著是壹本充滿了諷刺意味的小說，站在反主流的地位上；而影片則對故事進行了修飾和美化，是站在主流意識形態之上，它是撫慰美國民眾的神話，這無疑使影片更合觀眾和評委的口味，但卻犧牲了原著的叛逆鬥爭精神，使影片成為了壹種理想化道德的象征，這也是美國“好萊塢”電影工廠的價值取向，恰恰也符合了美國上層的主流意識。
故事講述了壹個智商只有75的小孩通過自己的努力從小學“跑”了到中學，又“跑”到了大學，之後又“跑”到了越南戰場，越戰後又瘋狂的“跑”自己的愛情的壹個立誌故事。
本人認為這是壹個虛假立誌的故事，雖然影片展現了50年代—80年代美國社會民眾積極向上的形象，但要知道，影片背後真實的社會不是電影所呈現的那樣——50年代到80年代的美國，反對黑人種族歧視問題、反越戰情緒正困擾著美國的上層階級，而民眾也對國家的未來失去信心和期待，面對越戰的失敗，民眾對自己、國家、未來的命運都已失去鬥誌，充滿了消極迷茫的情緒，這和電影《出租汽車司機》所表達的歷史背景、基調是壹樣的。
此時《阿甘正傳》就是壹濟撫慰民眾的良藥，而阿甘的形象正是起到了壹種主流與反主流之間的協調關系。
其實通過電影的表象，我們可以看到導演羅伯特對當時美國所寄予的希望——
1． 阿甘與布巴的友誼
布巴和阿甘壹樣都是參加越戰的軍人，只是布巴是壹個黑人。導演通過在越南戰場上，阿甘營救布巴，之後布巴和阿甘的友誼與日俱增，來表現種族沖突現實的缺席。
這也寄托了導演以及民眾緩和民族沖突的願望。
2． 阿甘與珍尼的愛情
阿甘自越戰回來以後，珍尼已經墮落，過著放蕩的日子，阿甘壹直深愛著珍尼，但珍尼像個迷壹樣失蹤了，後來，珍尼回來投入了阿甘的懷抱，並與阿甘同甘***苦了壹段日子，之後珍尼又出走了，出走之後，阿甘阿甘為了尋找珍尼壹直奔跑，黃天不負有心人，後來，珍尼回來了並帶來了阿甘的兒子，可是此時的珍尼已經得了不治之癥，不久即將死去。
通過撲朔迷離的愛情，影片反映出了和平與反戰的創傷歷史以及婦女解放運動的缺席。
珍尼是作為壹個反主流反戰的形象出現的，而以墮落直至死亡說明了希望實現的不可能性。
我想這裏也寄托了民眾對於國家命運的迷茫。
3． 阿甘與丹中尉
在越戰場上，阿甘有兩個朋友：壹個是愛捕蝦的布巴，壹個則是令人敬畏的丹中尉。
導演通過越南戰場上阿甘冒死去營救丹中尉的壹場戲，來給大家展示了意識形態中主流社會的道德拯救。
與其說這部電影是撫慰美國民眾的神話電影還不如說這是壹部寄予美國民眾希望的電影。
影片壹開始，壹片羽毛便隨著風飄零，搖搖擺擺地飄零，美國民眾壹直信仰的上帝尼采說是已經死了？現代社會的人們在面對機械復制時代的大崩潰真的是無所適從了麽？民眾不知道自己的命運該寄予何處，他們相信自己的命運不應該掌握在自己的手中，而是應該由風掌握，任由自己飄零，我想這也是美國民眾面對國家命運的壹種悲觀情緒吧。
不過哪怕迷茫哪怕疑惑，生活還是要繼續，壹切都還是有希望的，這也是美國上層主流所期望的。畢竟人類脆弱的心靈是需要撫慰的，所以在這樣主題明確的影片裏，我們還是要相信海明威說的 “這世界是個好地方，值得為她奮鬥。”
