FORREST GUMP – Movie quotes & Ideas

For this assignment we are tasked to find 4 different movie quotes from either the movie or different movies. After finding the quote we are to depict it in an illustration using manipulation of photoshop to piece different images together and create an imagery that i feel from the quote.

I would first just type out the general idea of the sketches that i intend to., so this post would mainly just be words. Following up after the photoshop session I would post another post of sketches of the illustration that i plan on doing.


This assignment is giving me so much headache as i have watched and like so many movies. However, the first movie that actually came to me would be a quote from Cinderella – “Have courage and be kind“. This was one of the quote from the real-life movie of Cinderella. As much as I really enjoy the animated version, I feel like that quote really call out to me a lot. Since young, somehow I have always been in love with Cinderella’s story, I would say she is my favourite princess. The kind girl that sees the joys in things even if the only people that she can depend on treats her like a lowlife.

They mentioned it almost at the beginning of the movie where the mother told Cinderella to be kind and courage.

The second time was when she met the prince and she told him that.

I wanted to be like her and view the world in a more happy tone. Even among the darkest hour there would be a light at the end of the tunnel. So i thought about a few idea for this particular quote :

  • The first would be Cinderella gently holding a butterfly with dark spooky forest around her.
  • The second idea I had was having the silhouette of Cinderella and in the center of her is a bird cage with the step mother and sisters in it.
  • The third one would be a silhouette of the godmother with the shape of the glass shoes and within it is Cinderella.
  • The last one that I actually thought of is a lot of butterfly forming into the silhouette of Cinderella.

The next movie that I actually had in mind Finding Nemo. Just like Cinderella, I have re-watched the movie numerous of them. This movie just somehow seem to call out to me and i can relate from it. The quote i thought of from the movie is “Just keep swimming, swimming swimming“. This quote just stuck to me the moment I heard it, I thought it was wonderful. In a sense she is telling Marlin not to give up but to me it has so much other meaning too.

There is another quote that I actually really like from this movie, which is “I shall call him squishy and he shall be mine.” I really find this quote cute and how dory was like going crazy over the little jellyfish.

  • The first idea that i actually have is the silhouette of Marlin and Dory inside the mouth of a shark and within the silhouette of the shark i was actually thinking of adding jellyfish. However, if it is too constrained i would not add them in.
  • The second idea would be the silhouette of Nemo as the main subject but within Nemo I would try to put in the many fishes that he encountered and of course Dory and Marlin.
  • The third design that i was actually thinking is the turtles within the silhouette of Dory and Marlin. In a sense saying how they are moving forward as that is what the turtle are doing in the movie.
  • The last design that i was thinking of is actually having seagulls chasing Dory and Marlin. I was thinking of a flipped colour for the seagulls in the sky and the two fishes in the sea, I guess it is quite hard to explain, I would show it in my sketches in the next post. The seagull was really memorable in the movie because they were really funny.

The third quote that i have is from the hunger games “I volunteer as tribute“. I actually find this quote quite funny, the scene in which she suddenly burst out with this line in the movie. To be honest I had high hopes for the movies but after the first part, the second and third part seem to just went downhill. I did not read the book of the series but even through the movie i thought that the story started to get a bit too draggy.

  • The first design that I wanted to do is many arrows being aimed at Katniss and behind her would be the handsign. Seems like a propaganda, this is so funny.
  • The second design that i actually thought of is combining the faces of katniss and the Effie ; The lady with the crazy up-do. I was thinking of this because it was Effie that “picked” Katniss’ sister from the lottery.
  • The third design would be a silhouette of mocking jay and inside it is Katniss standing among the high trees. This was the scene in which she was fed with bad thoughts from the mocking jay.
  • The last design is the silhouette of Katniss holding the bow with the background of district one towering over her and the president snow in which he looks like he is controlling the districts. I was thinking of the composition from attack on titan.
