    This scene also displays the liberal trope of individual liberty, as the desegregation movement was a liberal approach to giving minorities the freedoms that are naturally endowed to them by God. The liberal argument stands that because segregation is inherently bad, and the Civil Rights Act had officially outlawed discriminatory behavior, African Americans deserve the right to attend any educational institution of their choosing without racial interference. By contributing to the liberal desegregation movement, although unknowingly, Forrest exemplifies the trope of individual freedom by handing the girl her notebook and subconsciously encouraging her to succeed in her new life at the University of Alabama. Throughout the film, Forrest coins multiple sayings—similar to Chris Matthews’ maxims in…

We fall, rise and hopefully learn from our mistakes. Imperfections are traits that characterise us as human beings. The quotation above, taken from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel…
