阿甘正传

I am strongly antipathetic to how the film propagates American ideologies through the character of Gump, who symbolizes and epitomizes the U.S. I find the portrayal of female characters, such as Gump’s mom and Jenny, problematic. They are depicted from Gump’s perspective as women who are vulnerable and waiting for men to rescue them. Additionally, I am dissatisfied with the depiction of the Vietnam War, which only presents the American perspective, focusing on how American boys got hurt, without addressing anything about Vietnam. The entire film is very deliberate in its plot and use of elements, and it is too direct in telling the audience that this film is all about ideologies.
