Reading and writing stories is like you are escaping from society. I am going to explore how popular fiction can spark reality. An example of this would be Forrest Gump.
Forrest Gump is a 1994 American-drama film based on the 1986 novel of the same name by Winston Groom. The Story is about a simple yet backwards man who comes from Alabama and follows his journey through life. He comes across many high, and low moments. Forrest sees himself subsequently in the middle of every historical and popular even from the 1960’s to the 1980’s. He meets historical figures, influences popular culture.
This film creates such an influential change in society because of the plot itself. He was looked at like he was a “local idiot”. But who would have thought that he could make such a difference in the world? The entire story line has the whole world doubting Forrest, but he powers through and proves everybody wrong. Forrest’s actions land him a meeting with the president, an enrollment into the military, a medal of honor and that is just part of the list. He shows audiences that treating people equally and respectfully will always have a positive outcome and not listening to the negative influences in life is helpful.
Overall, Forrest Gump is a great example of fictional inspiration to society. Every being is unique in their own way and encounter different unique situations.
