Forrest Gump is one of those movies that you can see and see again without ever getting tired: it's not for nothing that he got six precious Oscars! The feature film Robert Zemeckis has been a hit since its release in 1994, and more than 20 years later, it still inspires viewers.


And the many cult quotes of the characters are probably not for nothing! In a little more than two hours of films, Forrest Gump and his little comrades sketch the little sentences that, when you think about it, are true philosophies of life. To adopt as mantras to guide us on a daily basis.

"Life is like a box of chocolates: you never know what you're going to fall into"

A well-known quotation today, but which reminds us that the vagaries of life are things that one does not necessarily master, and that sometimes one has to dare to discover something that one did not know.

"N ' is stupid that stupidity"

People who do not fit in the mold are often considered stupid. It is the case of Forrest , treated as stupid because of his handicap, for lack of tolerance, and while it is far from being.  

"We must leave behind the past if we want to move forward"

By dint of looking back, we magnify all the beautiful things that unfold before us. Rather than regret the past, it is better to project yourself into the future.

"I do not know if we each have a destiny, or if we let ourselves be carried by chance like a breeze. I think it may be a bit of both"

Sometimes we have to accept letting go and let ourselves be carried away by the present moment, even if we think that this does not correspond to what our destiny holds for us. Besides, who said we had only one destiny? All roads are possible.

"What is normality, first? "

That is a good question. So many people refrain from doing something because "it's not normal". And if we let go a little more and forget the opinion of others to have fun?
