De când n-am mai scris ceva.
De când n-am mai citit ceva.
De când n-am mai văzut ceva.
De când n-am mai auzit ceva.

Fiecare “ceva” are însemnătatea lui, şi cândva fiecare “ceva” îşi va scurta perioada de existenţă. Până atunci îmi iau câte un moment de linişte şi de gândire.

După ce îmi trece frica acestor momente găsesc ceva de făcut. Data asta… a fost vizionarea unui film. Un film despre viaţa unui om pentru care “ceva” n-are însemnătate, un om pentru care “ceva” vine şi trece la fel de repede.

Un film despre viaţa lui Forrest Gump.

Nu are rost să vă vrăjesc cu spusele mele mai mult, mai bine vă zic câte puţin din film:

“Jenny: You ever been with a girl, Forrest?
Forrest Gump: I set next to them in my home economics class all the time”

“Lieutenant Dan sure knew his stuff, I felt real lucky he was my lieutenant. Someone in his family had fought, and died, in every single, American war. I guess you could say he had a lot to live up to.”

“This one day we was out walkin, as always, and then, just like that, somebody turned off the rain and the sun come out”

“I had never named a boat before, only knew one” – îşi numeşte barca Jenny

“After that, shrimpin was easy. And since people still needed them shrimps for shrimp cocktails and barbecues and all, and we were the only boat left standing – “Bubba Gump Shrimp” is what they got. We got a whole bunch of boats, 12 Jennys. And a big old warehouse, we even got hats that say “Bubba Gump” on them “Bubba Gump Shirmp” – it’s a household name.

“And cause I was a gazillionaire, and I liked doin it so much, I cut that grass for free.”

“They just couldn’t believe like somebody was doing all that running for no particular reason”

“Forrest Gump: In the land of China, people hardly got nothing at all.
John Lennon: No possessions?
Forrest Gump: And in China they never go to church.
John Lennon: No religion too?
Dick Cavett: Ah. Hard to imagine.
John Lennon: Well it’s easy if you try, Dick.”

“Shit happens”

“Have a nice day”

“Then I went to the White House, again, to meet the president, again”

“He had me invested in some kind of fruit company” (fiind vorba de Apple)

“Forrest Gump: Will you marry me?
[Jenny turns and looks at him]
Forrest Gump: I’d make a good husband, Jenny.
Jenny Curran: You would, Forrest.
Forrest Gump: …But you won’t marry me.
Jenny Curran: [sadly] … You don’t wanna marry me.
Forrest Gump: Why don’t you love me, Jenny?
[Jenny says nothing]
Forrest Gump: I’m not a smart man… but I know what love is.”

“Jenny: His name’s Forrest.
Forrest Gump: Like me.
Jenny: I named him after his daddy.
Forrest Gump: He’s got a daddy named Forrest?”

Oache ăsta pletosu’ zice doar porcării că ai o viaţă nesărată de n-ai văzut filmul. Nu e chiar aşa… doar ratezi “ceva”.
