"Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella hears a voice in his corn field tell him, "If you build it, he will come." He interprets this message as an instruction to build a baseball field on his farm, upon which appear the ghosts of Shoeless Joe Jackson and the other seven Chicago White Sox players banned from the game for throwing the 1919 World Series."(IMDbより)

「フォレストガンプ」はお気に入り映画の一つ。時代の波に流されないのも一つの生き方かなあと思います。1950s~1980sの米国歴史(KKK、エルビスプレスリー、アラバマ大学黒人入学阻止事件、公民権運動、ジョン・F・ケネディ、リンドン・ジャンソン、ベトナム戦争、反戦運動、ドラッグ、ヒッピー、ウォーターゲート事件、レーガン大統領暗殺未遂事件、エイズ等々)を学ぶにも最高です。
"Forrest Gump" is one of my favorite movies. It taught me that going one's own way is one of the best lifestyles. It also helped me to learn about American History from 1950s to 1980s like Ku Klux Klan, Elvis Presley, Blocked School Doorway in University of Alabama (1957), Civil Rights Movement, Assassination of John F Kennedy (1963), Lyndon B Johnson, Vietnam War, Antiwar Campaign, Drugs, Hippie, Watergate Scandal (1972), Assassination Attempt on President Regan (1981), AIDS, etc.

The Bridges of Madison County: The Movie
Robert Kincaid (Cling Eastwood) has come to Madison County, Iowa, in order to take the pictures of the Roseman and Holliwell covered bridges. He is a professional photographer on assignment to National Geographic magazine in the fall of 1965 and he is lost. Pulling his green pickup into the driveway of a well kept farmhouse, he stops to ask directions. Francesca Johnson (Meryl Streep) is at home, alone, her husband and two children having departed for four days to the Illinois state fair. She has been marrried for 15 years and the luxury of time to herself is an unusual break from her daily life, as is the courteous stranger appoaching her for information.
These are the opening circumstances for an extraordinary story, adapted to the screen by Richard LaGravenese from Robert James Waller's novel, The Bridge of Madison County.
