I had never before seen Forrest Gump, though I of course knew the iconic line “Run, Forrest, Run”. The reflection pool scene was definitely my favorite part! But I was also fascinated by the discussion of destiny that occurred throughout the entire movie, especially the question about whether or not we make our own destiny or if there is a destiny out there waiting for us no matter our actions. I believe that we all have a role in the world, but that our actions do define us, whether they are influenced by the destiny awaiting us or cause our destiny is an impossible question to ask. As long as we make peace with what happens in our lives, like Lieutenant Dan eventually does, then life can be lived to the fullest. Forrest Gump was definitely a great movie that I already want to watch again!
