“Tell me something, are u stupid or something?”
Thursday, September 27th, 2007Title sounds familiar?
.
Yeah, you hear that a few times in the movie Forrest Gump. Recently, i just felt so Forrest I decided to watch it again. Just a re-cap, the movie made its premier in the year of 1994 - thats more than a decade from today (2007).
.
Man… it is still a beautiful movie regardless of countless times i’ve watched it.
.
When i first watched it, back in 1994, I was just….. 11 years old, it was already beautiful. So beautiful it made an 11 year old cries.
.
Now that i’m 24, the viewing experience of this legendary classic is different. I listen carefully to what Gump says, watched closely how Hanks acted and really understood why is it an award winner.
.
Almost every line got me into thinking. I end this blog with a question you would tend to hear it repetitively from the movie (besides "My mama alwiz says, life is like a box of chocolate, ya’ll never know whatcha gonna get.")
.
Tell me something young man, are you stupid or something?
Forrest: My mama always say, stupid is as stupid does…
.
"Stupid is as stupid does…"
Meaning… an intelligent person that does stupid things is still stupid. You are what you do, likewise, beauty is as beauty does…
.
This entry ends with the Forrest Gump original music score, go imagine the tunes in your head with the floating feather =P
