尼克松。杀害林肯和肯尼迪的凶手都是在审判之前被人击毙的。林肯和肯尼迪在职的时候诽谤过他们的人在他们去世后又为之歌功颂德。4位遇难总统中的3位是在背后中弹，只有迈金利看到了凶手。,atWatergateHotelroomnightYeah,sir,youmightwanttosendamaintenancemanovertothatofficeacrosstheway.Thelightsareoff,andtheymustbelookingforthefusebox(保险)orsomething,causethemflashlightstheyre,theyrekeepingmeawake.,Watergate,TheWatergatescandalwasapoliticalscandalduringthe1970sintheUnitedStatesresultingfromthebreak-inoftheDemocraticNationalCommitteeheadquartersattheWatergateofficecomplexinWashington,D.C.EffectsofthescandalultimatelyledtotheresignationofthePresidentoftheUnitedStates,RichardNixon,onAugust9,1974,thefirstandonlyresignationofanyU.S.President.Italsoresultedintheindictment,trial,convictionandincarcerationofseveralNixonadministrationofficials.,Hippies,ayouthmovementthataroseintheUnitedStatesduringthemid-1960s,Somecreatedtheirownsocialgroupsandcommunities,listenedtopsychedelicrock,opposedtheVietnamWar,embracedthesexualrevolution,anduseddrugssuchasmarijuana,LSDandmagicmushroomstoexplorealternativestatesofconsciousness.,beatniksBeatGeneration,Withsomeofhismoney,ForrestinvestsinsomekindoffruitcompanywhichhappenstobeAppleComputers.,Summary,Itdepictsthenegationoftheprotests,drugs,sexliberation,Hippies,evenwomenslibandFeminism.(男女平等主义)anditsreconfirmationofhonesty,good-will,hardwork,chastity,love,family,thetraditionalmoralvirtues,whichenhancetheAmericandream.,流行口语,1.Youruniformisatrip.2.Youfreak.3.Stupidisasstupiddoes.4.JackandRosearepeasandcarrots.5.Iamnotasmartman,butIknowwhatloveis.,6.Thereisonesmallstepforaman,agiantleapformankind.某人的一小步就是人类的一大步7.Nothingjusthappens,itsallpartofaplan.没有事情随随便便发生，都是计划的一部分8.Imnotasmartman,butIknowwhatloveis.我并不聪明，但我知道什么是爱情.,Theme,Theme,1.feather:,destiny,Forrestsmother:believer,LeuDan:suspicious,Jenny:rebel,Maybedestinyislikethatfeather,whichhasnoconcretedirection,andtheordinaryexperiencetiredus.However,anyturningiscontrolledbythemselvesfreely,theresonethingyoumustdodoyoubest.,2.LOVE,“Imnotasmartman,butIknowwhatloveis.”Loveisfilmseternaltheme.Wegiveourtearsandlaughtergenerously.TheloveinthisfilmisaprocesswhichamanwithlowIQspeaksout“love”.IthinkthatForrestdoesntonlysaytoJenny,butalsosaytohismotherandBuba.BecausetheloverealizedbyForrestincludesmanythings,notonlyheart.ThedeathofhismotherandmanytimesJennysdisappearanceletForrestknowwhatloveis.Infact,nomatterwhetherJennyloveForrest,Forrestgetsloveandwegetlovefromthisfilm.Intheend,Ithinkofapoem:,Donotundermineyourworthbycomparingyourselfwithothers.Itisbecausewearedifferentthateachofusisspecial.Donotgiveupwhenyoustillhavesomethingtogive.Nothingisreallyoveruntilthemomentyoustoptrying.Itisafragilethreadthatbindsustoeachother.Donotshutloveoutofyourlifebysayingitisimpossibletofind.Thequickestwaytoreceiveloveistogivelove;Thefaste
