Forest+Gump+Analysis

These two scenes from the movie Forest Gump are very symbolic. The quote “My mama always said, life was like a box a chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get,” is very significant. The quote means that life is full of chance and anything could happen. This flying feather supports Forest Gump's quote as it could have landed anywhere, but it landed just by Forest's feet. The feather represented chance and probability. This quote fits in the movie very well because Forest Gump encounters many situations by chance and some of his success comes by luck such as his encounters with old friends.
