The box office performance of Forrest Gump serves as evidence to highlight the poor artistic quality of Forrest Gump.

Instead, Ronald pointed out that in the golden age of Hollywood, the successful films that won Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Performance awards were often the ones with the highest box office that year. This simple dichotomy is both boring and unfair.

Very misleading.

Secondly, the quality of a movie has nothing to do with whether it conforms to public values. As long as the story is well told and the performance is convincing, which values ​​the protagonist adheres to has nothing to do with the artistic quality of the movie itself.

Nowadays, some people often attack Forrest Gump for not making a clear statement against the Vietnam War. Ronald told them that the best literary and artistic works do not directly reflect the author's values. You have to experience it yourself through the actions of the characters.

their values, and thus draw their own opinions.

Wallace also brought some videos of random interviews with Vietnam War veterans before he did the show. In those videos, they were all happy with Ronald's movie and thought it truly reflected the battlefield of that year.

There are also interviews with some anti-war people at that time, who were also happy with the scene that Ronald filmed of Forrest Gump and Jenny's reunion at the Washington Memorial Square. They despised the general's behavior of pulling the plug.

Both sides had positive comments, and Ronald was very happy to see them.

"Speaking of which, I have another question. What did Forrest Gump say on stage?" Mike Wallace, like an ordinary audience member, was curious about what Forrest Gump said after unplugging the microphone.

.

What he said was: "Sometimes, when people go to Vietnam, they come home to their moms without their legs. Sometimes they don't come home at all. That's a bad thing. That's all I have to say." Luo

Nader smiled and replied. Many friends were also curious about this paragraph, "How is it? Is it very Forrest Gump?"

"I think it's not just that. Do those who didn't go home also include your uncle? And your father, even if he comes back, he won't have any good friends around him?"

"oh……"

Ronald didn't expect Wallace to have such a move, and he was stunned for a moment. Then he pinched his eyes with his fingers, trying hard not to shed tears.

However, Wallace did not speak further, and just looked at Ronald happily, as if expressing his parents' appreciation for his achievements.

Ronald couldn't hold it back, tears still burst out of his eyes. He wiped his eyes hard with his hands, and then shook his head at Wallace, "God, you still made me cry, I'm sorry..."

"It doesn't matter, I think they must be very pleased with your achievements now, Ronald. They will be proud of you..."

The camera was turned off, and Diane came over to hug Ronald and comfort him.

Mike Wallace couldn't help but said to the staff, "Daxmn, this interview subject is really good. The ratings this time will be good. I really like interviewing such real people."

The 60 Minutes program was quickly edited and put online as quickly as possible. This interview indeed received high ratings, with a total of 25 million viewers watching this episode.

Among the people, the general reaction is that Ronald is the image of a director in their minds. He speaks in an orderly manner, has profound thoughts, is very emotional, and has a perfect family.
