Forrest Gump Opening Scene Genre Task

This is my first Genre Task.


In the clip there is a feather floating around in the sky above a city, it floats past all the houses, past a car and lands by the foot of the main character who picks the feather up and puts it in his bag. The music is quite soft, the main instrument used is a piano, the piano is quite an innocent instrument this could be used to represent the main character in this film. The character appears to be a middle aged man in a white jack. It is possible he is wearing a white jacket to symbolize that he is pure and the leading character of the film. The genre of the film is probably a drama or romance, the music gives reference to this because it is really subtle and gentle. This opening is quite difficult to categorize in terms of genre because there aren't any major hints apart from the music. Whatever the genre is, the narrative is going to be emotional as it is personified in the music.
