“My mama always said, life was like a box a chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.”
This idea that you never know what you are going to get out of life, is conveyed in Forrest Gump through the quotation above. Life is ultimately a gamble, and people just have to flow with whatever comes at them. The music in the background flowed fluidly as the feather floated. The feather represents humans going through life. The change in wind patterns symbolizes the different trials that life can throw at a person. The music is pleasant, and gives off a good vibe to the audience. In the title sequence Forrest also says that you can tell a lot about people by the type of shoes they wear. When he tells the lady sitting next to him she said her feet hurt, rather rudely. This shows how many people can take a pessimistic view on life, and not try to live it to the fullest. One could also argue that because Forrest has a mental disability, that he sees life as simple and fun, and not full of hardships as everyone else. His trunk is full of memorandums of his life, showing how he had many different adventures and enjoyed each one of them.
