Why are there so many American blockbusters from 65438 to 0994?

1994 The disintegration of the Soviet Union brought the United States not only a formal victory but also a spiritual emptiness. At the same time, the long-term economic recession, the influx of non-European immigrants, the rise of Japan and so on have alarmed the American people. In the chaotic last two decades of the twentieth century, the United States tried to reinterpret history and construct a typical American image. Taking Forrest Gump as an example, the coincidence of Forrest Gump's life course and American history is actually to use the image of Forrest Gump to coordinate the contradictions among all parties, and try to use this character to try to bridge the gap between American history, mainstream culture and mainstream society, so as to achieve the multi-level impossibility of race and reconciliation. Forrest Gump's sincere feelings with his black friends, his luck in the war and various miraculous experiences after the war all set Forrest Gump as a witness of history, reinterpreting history with his experience and perspective, and bridging the wounds of American society.

The viewpoint comes from Dai Jinhua's Forrest Gump: The Myth of Success in Time.
