Critical game studies – workshops week 6

My Choice of work for assignment 2: Forrest Gump.
It was originally a novel wrote by Winstom Groom in 1986, since its popularity it has been made into film in 1993 and release in 1994. The theme presents the history of America from WW2 recovery period to early 1980 in the view of Forrest Gump. The story of the film is about a mildly retard but gentle and nice person – Forrest Gump, he overcome his inherent disadvantage and conquer many problem in his life with the support of his friends and family.
I think apparently one of the aims of this movie is to encourage people, to tell them that even Forrest can complete a successful and happy life. Although some parts of the film (novel) is a bit unrealistic, but it’s usually a kinds of humour adds into the film to makes it interesting. Asides from that, it is indeed one of my favourite film.
