just discovered that i hv lost many photos taken in the past..included last time to the halloween, photos taken in high school in shanghai and trip to xin jiang, photos taken in my friend's place during summer 2004...so so grey..
just stored the photos in the laptop/desktop, but after several times of removal of files, those photo files disappeared..i also wanna know how come it would be that.... dawn it..
so so grey...i like taking photos and looking back at them ... they reflect wt i talk with fds at that time, reflect wt i saw, how i felt .... if there is an invention which could recall all lost photos it will be cool....but the reality is
now i will do more to secure the safety of all existing photos, i.e. print them out !!

Forrest Gump
My Mama always said: Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get.
---Forrest Gump
When I can not find the grind of life getting me down, when the day-to-day struggle is threatening to drag me under. There is a movie out there that can replenish my energy and refresh my outlook. Passionate and magical, Forrest Gump is a tonic for the weary of spirit. I have seen this films for many times, and I know that this film adapt Winston’s novel of the same name , so the idea of reading the note book comes to me.
The book and the film are exactly similar, only the original work is that one is full of fantastic novels with a satiric flavour, but the film modifies and beautifies the story. Have abandoned the absurdity of the original work and revealed that satirizes meaning , have added a kind of tender feeling for the film. But the struggle spirit of the rebel of the original work is which cannot read in the film .
Forrest Gump , named after a civil war hero, grows up in Greenbow, Alabama, where his mother runs a boarding house. Although Forrest is a little "slow" (his IQ is 75, 5 below the state's definition of "normal"), his mental impairment doesn't seem to bother him, his mother, or his best (and only) friend, Jenny Curran . In fact, the naivete that comes through a limited understanding of the world around him gives Forrest a uniquely positive perspective of life.
During the next thirty years, Forrest becomes a star football player, a war hero, a successful businessman, and something of a pop icon. Through it all, however, there is one defining element in his life: his love for Jenny. She is never far from his thoughts, no matter what he's doing or where he is.
A serises of assets lift Forrest Gump above the average "lifestory" drama: its optimism, freshness, and emotional honesty. Though the novel does not seek to reduce every member of the audience to tears, it has moments whose power comes from their simplicity. Equally as important is laughter, and Forrest Gump has moments of humor strewn throughout.
During the 60s and 70s, no topic more inflamed the turbulent national consciousness than that of Vietnam and those who were sent overseas to fight. Forrest, as might be expected, has a singular viewpoint on his time spent there: "We took long walks and were always looking for this guy named Charlie." In this observation can be found the essence of the title character's nature.
Through the miracle of visual effects, Forrest meets his fair share of famous people - George Wallace, Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon, and John Lennon. While mixing the real footage of these notables with new images featuring Hanks is not a seamless process, the result is nevertheless effective.
Forrest Gump has several messages, some of which are less obvious than others. The most frequently recurring theme is an admonition not to give up on life. Why surrender when you don't know what lies ahead? By contrasting Forrest's life with the lives of those around him, and by showing how the passage of time brings solace to even the most embittered hearts, the movie underlines this point.
Ultimately, however, any gripes about Forrest Gump are minor. This is a marvelous motion picture -- a mint julep on a hot summer's afternoon.
