Forrest Gump . The man has no ego . All he wants in life is to be accepted . He brings nothing but good to the world around him , and life has been met obstacle after obstacle simply because of his biological dispositions Something he never asked for , or wanted . Sometimes life is unfair , but for someone to have such a spirit and feel that he is trapped inside of a broken body . He just wants to be loved , and to be normal . While all of us fail to appreciate the gift we have been given every day , people exist on this earth who just want what we have . And that is both beautiful and sad . It makes me cry a confused mix of happy and sad tears simultaneously that awakens my spirit and makes me feel truly alive . I cry at over 40 different points in the movie for a plethora of different or mixed reasons . It is an absolute rollercoaster .
