而阿甘所摯愛的珍妮則是墮落的象征，她染上了幾乎所有的惡習，如吸毒、性解放等，最後她死於壹種病毒——其實影射的是艾滋病毒。而阿甘卻不計壹切，始終如壹地愛著她，影片在對他構成壹種似是而非的責備的同時，更體現了他的純真和善良。
阿甘如同壹個戰士，以他貌似簡單，實則更為簡單的頭腦和特殊的才能以及強大的體魄為武器，壹次又壹次地贏得了生存和發展。這是壹種對上帝獎勵善良的希望，同時，它更包含了壹種基調：向前，跑。有人說，這樣奔跑會給人帶來希望。事實上，希望確實存在，這部獨特的影片贏得了如此眾多的觀眾，吸引了甚至只喜歡輕松的娛樂片的觀眾，便說明了希望本身和希望的魁力。
阿甘形象的塑造顛覆了正常世界中的英雄形象，與傳統觀念背道而馳，具有強烈的反傳統、反主流性。阿甘的經歷讓許多“聰明人”相形見絀，我想導演就是想通過阿甘形象的塑造來反諷社會，反映社會現狀，比如對人的異化、墮落的揭露等?借此來引起人們對社會與人們命運、前途的關註。有趣的是，阿甘身後總有壹群尾隨者，他們找不到人生的答案，盲目地追隨阿甘，可以這麽說，這就是美國當時社會的壹種現實，人們對現實失望，找不到生存的動力與意義，只好無望地把命運寄托在別人身上。而阿甘卻總能以樂觀的態度面對現實，勇敢地跑下去，這不能不說是絕妙的諷刺。
對於這樣壹個近年來好萊塢電影中少見的鮮明人物，阿甘無疑會被載入史冊，在美國，阿甘就是戰後五六十年代出生的這代群體的化身，在他們的經歷中，3K黨、搖滾、越戰、肯尼迪、尼克松等紛紛登臺亮相，在和平的混亂中他們成長，道德的重建，個性的張揚，使他們的人生道路充滿著變數，他們看來似乎缺少錘煉，步履蹣跚得讓人放心不下，但他們終究是長大了，並且他們跑起來的速度出乎了父輩的意料。
在小說《阿甘正傳》裏，它的結尾是這樣寫的：“不過，我跟妳說，朋友：有時候到了晚上，我仰望星星，看見整個天空就那麽鋪在那兒，可別以為我什麽也不記得。我仍舊跟大家壹樣有夢想，偶爾我也會想到換個情況人生會是什麽樣兒。然後，眨眼之間，我已經四十、五十、六十歲了，妳明白吧？”
相信即使看到這裏，每個人內心的惶惑感壹點都不會減少，但同時我們也會油然而生壹種超脫的感覺，就像我們仰望星空，感到壹種自然的和諧和偉大的力量，雖然壹些問題還是沒有答案，可是已經變得不那麽重要。時間總是無情地流轉，它在催促我們不要因太多的思考而虛擲光陰。
In the film, with the South American accent, impaired intellectual Forrest Gump looked full of Jenny's wild, as if the United States and the master of Faulkner's famous novel, "Sound and the Fury" in Bangui is a distant relative of the fool. But the two apparently have a fundamental difference: The Decline and Fall of Bangui is only a symbol of the family, is a real imbecile; Forrest Gump and the "Fool" is almost a representative of the times by the lack of all the virtues: honesty and trustworthiness, serious work, courage Fearless, Chongqing Light Choi, on the other hand is that these virtues have become stupid, this is some of today's social situation of a great irony.
Forrest Gump and the love of Jennifer is a symbol of degradation, she has been infected with almost all of the bad habits, such as drug abuse, sexual liberation and so on, her final died of a virus - in fact insinuate that the HIV virus. Forrest Gump and not at all, always loved her in his films constitute a kind of specious blame at the same time, but also reflects his innocence and goodness.
Forrest Gump as a soldier, with his seemingly simple, but in reality is more simple-minded and special talents, as well as physical powerful weapons, again and again to win the survival and development. This is a good God reward the hopes and at the same time, it includes a keynote: forward, to run. It is said that this run will bring hope to people. In fact, there is indeed hope that this unique film has won so many viewers, and even attracted only light-hearted entertainment like film audience, it shows their hope and the hope that the Kui Li.
Forrest Gump image to subvert the normal world, the image of a hero, with the traditional concept, with a strong anti-traditional, anti-mainstream. Forrest Gump experience many "wise men" to be outshone, I think the director is like Forrest Gump through Image irony to the community, reflect the social status quo, such as the alienation of the people, and so on ? fallen to expose people to take this to the community and People fate of the future. Interestingly, behind Forrest Gump of the total followed by a group of persons who can not find the answer to life, blindly following the Forrest Gump, can be said that this is the American society at that time a reality, the reality of people's disappointment, can not survive The power and significance, and can only hope lies in the fate of the others. The Forrest Gump has always optimistic to face the reality and courageously continue to run, it can not be said to be the perfect irony.
In recent years, such a rare Hollywood film in a distinct character, Forrest Gump was no doubt go down in history in the United States, Forrest Gump is born in the 1950s and 1960s post-war generation incarnation of the group, in their experience, 3K Party , Rock, the Vietnam War, Kennedy, Nixon appeared on the stage one after another, and so on, peace in the chaos of their growth, moral reconstruction, the personality of the publicity, so that their life is full of variables, they appear to be a lack of temper, was hobbled People worried, but they are after all grown up, and they came running up the pace of the father's expectations.
In the novel "Forrest Gump", at the end of it reads: "But I tell you, friends: Sometimes at night, I look up to the stars, then see the whole sky on the laid there, I do not think I remember nothing. I still have a dream, like everyone else, I would occasionally think of another situation in life, like son. And then, blink of an eye, I have forty, fifty, sixty-year-old, you understand, right? "
I believe that even here, everyone's inner sense of fear that will not be reduced, but at the same time we also felt a sense of detachment, as we look to the stars, is a natural harmony and great strength, although Or did not answer a number of issues, but has become less important. Time is always ruthlessly circulation, it urged us not to let too much time thinking and loading.
