"Madmen have their own taste for madmen, which is not enough for outsiders." This book is the original novel of the classic movie "Forrest Gump". Forrest Gump is a retard and idiot in the eyes of ordinary people, but his kind and simple nature, coupled with his extraordinary talent, made him a college football star, a Vietnam War hero, a world-class table tennis player, a wrestler, a chess master and a business tycoon. He was interviewed and decorated by two U. S. Presidents, visited China, and even accidentally discovered the truth about the Watergate Incident.
Reader comments
I read this book "Forrest Gump" from the movie.
Forrest Gump was born with an intellectual disability, but he did what most people couldn't do.
Because he is simple. He never thinks about what I want, he just does what he has to do.
Just like Xu Sanduo played by Wang Baoqiang in "Soldier Assault", he never abandons or gives up.
Most people can't accomplish anything because they are too smart and spend their time weighing the pros and cons and always calculating the gains and losses.
Forrest Gump didn't, and Xu Sanduo didn't either, so they became it instead.
The legendary Grandma Moses said: "Life is what we make it, always has been, and always will be. And the thing you are most willing to do is where your true talent lies."
Although it's different things for different people, in fact, their core is the same:
Do something you love, something you would still be willing to do even on the weekends without paying you.
You will always gain something.
Because that is the meaning of your own life.
The movie is really good and very positive. One scene that I remember deeply is when a group of bad kids bully the male protagonist, and the female protagonist shouts from behind: Forrest Gump, run
The male protagonist was running very fast in front, and he kept running like this
There is also a plot in the back where the male protagonist keeps running. The reporter asked the male protagonist why he ran. Others gave various interpretations, but the male protagonist just wanted to run. There was no other reason. Just run.
The movie is better than the novel, and the novel is not bad either.
He has experienced so many wonderful things, which makes people both surprised and admired. The author told Forrest Gump's story so vividly that I felt like I was his friend, accompanying him through everything. This book is full of positive energy and is well worth reading!
Many people can't understand this book, but those who can understand it are the people who understand.
Dreams are just dreams after all, aren't they? So, apart from anything else, I think: I can always look back on the past and say to myself, at least my life was not boring.
You know what I mean?
I may be an idiot, but no matter what, I spend most of my life trying to do the right thing - dreams are just dreams after all, aren't they? So, apart from anything else, I think: I can always look back on the past and say to myself, at least my life was not boring.
Destiny is unpredictable and uncontrollable, and forceful confrontation and calculation are all fruitless; Forrest Gump's purity not only fulfills himself, but also heals and redeems those around him who have been traumatized by the times, interpreting the ultimate life wisdom of accepting fate and being kind-hearted.
Compared with the movie, some of the plots in the original work are a bit absurd, and the movie is more Hollywood-like. The movie explores and shapes life, destiny, ideals, and reality more successfully than the book.
I've seen movies that were changed by the book, and it's one of the best movies I've ever seen, made even better by Tom Hanks' performance. When I saw this book, of course I had to read it. The opening chapter made me laugh while reading. I have no doubt that this is a good book.
Life is not easy. All living beings are suffering, and we can only overcome it by ourselves, and there is nothing others can do to help us! Know whether you are warm or cold, the sun is good, the breeze is not dry, and the air is fresh
Although he was an unintelligent child, he lived a vigorous life. He has achieved many extraordinary achievements. The legend of life is inspiring, a lovely life. It brings spiritual encouragement to most people. Although it is short, the story is very good and I like the life of Forrest Gump. It gave me a better understanding of life. Good stories last forever, and the inspirational spirit lasts forever. Cheers to each of our lives!
A very good life inspirational film
Finished watching it, it's wonderful. Although some of Forrest Gump's behaviors are incomprehensible to ordinary people, his life is full of inspiration and legend.
The novel is better than the movie
Is this the original work of the movie Forrest Gump?
More exciting than movies 🎬
I think I roughly know why some people say it is an inspirational novel.
It's very inspiring and touching, and it can give ordinary people the strength to forge ahead.
It's pretty good to read the novel after watching the movie.
Very beautiful, very funny
Lively and interesting person
This book is quite interesting
Fools live better than smart people, hahaha [laughing]
I'm just a simple little cutie, not too frivolous. 😜
It turns out that the United States is also very dogmatic and bureaucratic. Forrest Gump said the wrong thing and was sent to burn the boiler.
Some books make you want to throw them away after reading a few pages, while other books continue to attract you to read.
Born to be useful, what is needed is more time and precipitation, discovery, and precipitation in the boring life.

A bit unreal, but also passionate.
Interesting, different from the movies!
