4th Score Review (Forrest Gump)

Hi I'm back again after hours I guess? xD

Anyway, my fourth review on the scores in Forrest Gump. I want to say also that I finally finished reading Gump & Company (book)! Sometime around I'll make my own script on it though I might search a little on some issues.

Now on to the review, this particular score comes a meaning to me. I mean, I know how it feels to not use something, like for instance, Forrest couldn't walk entirely since there something wrong with his legs.

But what really put a mark on it, is that one day when he's been chased by other children and being bullied again, a miracle happens. He walks first trying to get away from the bullies, then the bullies were gaining, and all of a sudden, the braces on Forrest's legs come off and he ran as fast as he could. As Forrest says, "Now other people tell that miracles don't happen. But they do."

For me, no matter happens, just believe in yourself and nothing is impossible.

PS. Mr. Hanks, if you're reading this or looking, hope to tell you that everyday your movies inspire me. It's what I need the most when I'm studying right now.

To all you guys whoever looks/reads here, thank you so much too! :)

And to my Shopgirl, I'm confused on what I'm feeling for you right now, and I don't know if we will work out, but anyway, I hope you're always fine and happy.

3rd Score Song Review (Forrest Gump)

Good evening everyone! Or good afternoon or morning wherever you might be dear reader! :)

Now I'm up to the 3rd score on the movie, Forrest Gump, thankfully. But since my parents are driving me nuts on studying, I'll be sneaking always at front of the computer screen just to post here.

Are you stupid or something?               

Mama says,

"Stupid is as stupid does."               

- I'm Jenny.

- I'm Forrest, Forrest Gump.

Anyway, the score plays in the scene where Forrest when he was little, rides the school bus for the first time and it seems that the other children doesn't want to be beside him or doesn't want him. Poor Forrest trying to fit with the others but at the turn of events, a young fine girl offers him a seat. This is the first time that Forrest meets his love of his entire life, Jenny Curran. She was one of the persons who accepted Forrest as he was and never looked at him like someone being abnormal or practically speaking, an "idiot".

I highly suggest that you watch the scene carefully since it gives a slight cheesy-ness on first love and acceptance of other people or innocence they say.

I'll give this score 7/10! :)

I say, I'm watching again You've Got Mail tonight since I've skipped some parts and didn't get to feel all the emotions at the instant. I'm thinking of getting Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close movie and watch it in the weekend.

Lastly, cool videos Mr. Hanks! Just want to let you know that you inspire other people by your movies and I'm one of them.

I won't stop believing on my dreams and I'll ride the wind wherever it takes me.

You're No Different Score Review

At last back again in reviewing scores at the movie, Forrest Gump! Feeling splendid right now since I had a nice nap and my brain seems up to go and post a little.

I love this score from the scene where Sally Field tells young Forrest that he's no different from the others. We shouldn't be making others feel different around us, I know how that feels cause I've been there. Being not noticed by someone or being pushed around or worst being bullied way back then.

No matter what happens, DON'T LET ANYONE MAKE YOU FEEL DIFFERENT.

We are all created the same by God and we should be thankful about it.

PS. Things are going well and I need to mindset my brain to study for my board exam but it seems I still don't want to study and just watch first all of Mr. Hanks movies. That's where I get my inspiration from. :)

Feather Scene Score

Finally I've found some scores on the movie, Forrest Gump, in youtube! So I'll start with the first scene where the feather flies away with the wind.

When I exactly hear this score, I feel contented or some what happy or relieved. One thing I may say, Alan Silvestri, you're truly a genius!

Any comments and suggestions would be loved a lot since no one really does since I started to blog... Anyway, thanks for viewing guys! Must be when I posted the link at twitter... Hope I have fellow followers now...

PS. Forgot to say also, I'll be posting all the scores with my own opinion about it every time I go online in my blog everyday. Let's do this.

I will cry it all again this night

Forrest Gump: You died on a Saturday morning. And I had you placed here under our tree. And I had that house of your father's bulldozed to the ground. Momma always said dyin' was a part of life. I sure wish it wasn't. Little Forrest, he's doing just fine. About to start school again soon. I make his breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day. I make sure he combs his hair and brushes his teeth every day. Teaching him how to play ping-pong. He's really good. We fish a lot. And every night, we read a book. He's so smart, Jenny. You'd be so proud of him. I am. He, uh, wrote a letter, and he says I can't read it. I'm not supposed to, so I'll just leave it here for you. Jenny, I don't know if Momma was right or if, if it's Lieutenant Dan. I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floating around accidental-like on a breeze, but I, I think maybe it's both. Maybe both is happening at the same time. I miss you, Jenny. If there's anything you need, I won't be far away.

One of the scenes that I never get tired to watch. It just makes me vulnerable and weak I couldn't stand but cry.


Here I am again, alone at our house, with my younger brother going back to his training. He doesn't know when hill come home again. And yet again, I'm all alone to hide my feelings. This is just one of those days again that I suddenly ponder and feel sad all over.


I hear the song on what you're probably thinking now... Looping again and again to soothe my emotions overflowing on sadness...


I'm feeling depressed right now. My chest feels really tight that I can't breathe. And I know what to do, when I feel like crying. I just have to let my tears fall this night. For I will not feel happy afterwards if I don't feel crying again.

Dear God, make me a bird so I could fly far, far away from here.

Good morning here at us and good afternoon/evening to everyone out there who ever reads my blog. Just awhile ago, I was scolded again by my dad for my childish actions. He does this every time at home. I don't even know if he really cares about me, like I'm just a slave or robot just to be punched around.

I'm tired of being pushed around of something I'm not. So in whatever reason, I'm like Jenny, praying everyday to God to make me a bird so I could go away from the hell I've been going through with my dad. I know it's too much but I can't stand him anymore and as soon as I can support myself, I will go away from here as much as possible.

We're just floating in the breeze

In the making of the feather scene of Forrest Gump, it was explained what was the feather exactly and how people would interpret it.

As I could say, we're just floating in the breeze, just waiting to go somewhere, to just land onto someone else' life... Admit it, if we put ourselves as a feather, it's not beautiful always, like falling into a dirty place or to a place no one ever wants to be.

Life is short and we need to make the most of it. I never know where the wind will take me, but whatever it is, may it be so strong at me, I will never let it shatter me.

If there's anyone out there who reads my blog, then thank you so much for listening. So far less pageviews but I do hope I help someone out there. Don't let anyone make you feel down.

I'm not sorry I cried

When I'm sad or feel like the world is mad back at me, I always listen to this song by Alan Silvestri. I never felt vulnerable in a song before. I just let my tears to well up while listening. Maybe because I can relate my life to Forrest Gump. Cause I know how to feel to lose someone you loved. After crying every time I listen, I felt better though memories still flash back at me and make me cry again.

"Mama said, that dying was a part of life... I wish it wasn't..."

 This was one of the dialogues that Tom Hanks said with such conviction and emotion... I cried. That's how exactly I feel when my grandmother and older brother died. I wish I had the time to tell them how much I love them. And I was also too holding my tears to break for I felt a pang in my heart.

Jenny: Forrest, remember the time when we prayed and I asked God to make me a bird?
*pauses for a while*
Forrest: Yes, I do.
Jenny: You think I could fly off this bridge?
*Forrest looking down at Jenny's feet*
Forrest: What do you mean, Jenny?

I felt what Jenny feels sometime. I just want to jump off a bridge and just let God or whatever take me away from here. I feel so much grief that no one thinks even care. That only friends do care about me. Or myself.

But anyways, I hope someone out there feels the same like me. If you feel like crying out, don't be sorry about it. For if you don't feel sad/grief/sorrow, then you won't feel true happiness.
