I want to discuss the film “Forrest Gump” in this movie, the director Cai used
In the film “Forrest Gump”, the protagonist Forrest Gump plays the narrator of the story. The author and the audience are both characters outside the film.

The audience will not think that the protagonist Forrest Gump narrates his own life experience after experiencing various life situations. The difference is that the story’s narrator The protagonist, Forrest Gump, lives in the story, and is not placed outside the story. When he recalled his life experience, he was still waiting at the bus stop in the film, looking forward to meeting his lover and good friend Jenny. He is always in the life of the story. After he narrated his life experience, he followed the old lady’s route and started rushing to Jenny’s home. At this time, the film changed from flashback to regular narrative, and the film was about to come to an end. Gradually, from A-Gump’s figure, the audience feels that when A-Gump is dragging his tired body towards his son in the film, the audience appears in it, feeling that they have gone through the various states of life and want to stop and rest. This place makes people feel warm and kind. The narrator of the film is always in the story, and some viewers have a deep understanding of the main content of the film.
