一、Literature Review

Movies reflect people’s life , ideas and values. Through movies , viewers can lean different countries’ lifestyles and their city culture. The movie Forrest Gump has been very impressed by his legendary experience in his life . Forrest Gump's name has been a household name since the film " Forrest Gump " was released in 1994 by director Winston grum, especially after the " Forrest Gump " won the sixty-seventh Oscar 6 Awards. In the film " Forrest Gump ", the hero Gump and the heroine Jenny are both from the American non - traditional family. Gump has not seen his father from childhood, but is raised and raised by his mother alone. Jenny lost his mother from urine and his father, but he was always sexually harassed by his father. Fan Yue's interpretation of American family in traditional American culture is in the book "American culture". Traditionally, the American family is a core family composed of fathers, mothers and underage children. So we can say that Gump and Jenny both come from the traditional American family. In the American cultural background, Joan Crandall said that the United States in the 1960s was in a chaotic society, and many traditional values were abandoned. In this movie, we can see that Jenny pursued sexual liberation, smoked marijuana, rebel against society and abandoned many traditional ideas. Though Gump is also from a non traditional American family, he is positive and responsible. Just like Wei Min's interpretation of Gump's orthodoxy, Gump was a model of the civilian hero in the period.

As a hero and heroine, Gump and Jenny have been in a strong contrast. They have been living in two different worlds. The dull Gump is always so persistent, optimistic, loyal, kind, and righteous, and love and miss Jenny as always, but the clever Jenny is disillusioned in sex, drugs, and rock music. The strong contrast between the hero and the heroine highlights the importance of traditional values, especially the traditional family values. In the "American values - a Chinese scholar's exploration", Zhu Yongqing referred to the traditional American family values. It believed that the traditional American family values, especially the new religion in Europe, and their own unique culture, formed a unique family values. This traditional family values emphasize individual independence, personal rights and freedom and equality. The hero and heroine in the movie went on two different ways of life because of family education and the great social background at that time. At the end of the film, the ingenious arrangement of men to live with their children suggests the importance and return of traditional family values, as mentioned in Mei Renyi's American study book, in the last decades of the last decades of political and cultural chaos, the United States has become a "loss of a lot of firm belief". The country "is redefining the United States", trying to "fully complement its self image and typical". Through a large number of literature review, I have a deeper understanding of traditional family values, while Gump is right.

In this film, we have provided many perspectives, but there are more scattered studies and less concentrated research. In particular, there is a lack of contrast between the image of Jenny on the screen and Gump in the whole film development, thus reflecting the return of American traditional family values.

  Gump and Jeanne can be regarded as the true portrayal of two types of people in the society at that time. Gump's success has always been inseparable from the influence of his mother. In the current study of Gump, no one has made specific research from the comparison of image and psychology between Gump and Jenny. Moreover, with the image of Gump and Jenny in the movie, the departure and return of the traditional American family values at that time is relatively new. This paper, on the one hand, interprets the return of the American traditional family values which is reflected by Gump and Jenny, and on the other hand, in the study of American traditional family values, enriches the interpretation of the "Gump".

3Conclusion

In the last decades of the last decades of political and cultural chaos, Lance morrow wrote that the United States was increasingly becoming a "country that lost a lot of firm belief" in the last decades of twentieth Century. It was "redefining the United States", trying to "fully complement its self image and typical", in the process, back to the United States to support hundreds of hundreds. It has an important historical role and epochal significance to the prosperity and rise of the United States in the years and to be remodeled in the hearts of the masses in the hearts of the United States. This is also the historical role and significance of the movie Gump. Robert zimmei Keith, the director of the film, comments on his film: "in my view, the film's unique feature is that it reaffirms the old moral and social theme culture, proclaims the mainstream ideology of the United States in the 60s, and he negates the other avant-garde new cultures. I think that is why it can be a deep American heart.
