lol the movie cut out the part in the book where forrest becomes a professional harmonica player

and it cuts out him being a professional wrestler, a politician, and a stunt double

it also cuts out the part where he is pressganged into loving nasa and becomes an astronaut with a woman and highly intelligent ape and then they crash land on an island inhabited by cannibals but they end up working on their cotton plantation and one of the cannibals teaches forrest how to be a chess grandmaster

just in case you had any delusions of forrest gump hailing from an intelligent piece of media and not being a steaming pile of boomer schlock

they just left material for the sequel

He accidentally crashes the Exxon Valdez, helps destroy the Berlin Wall, and fights in Operation Desert Storm with his friend, an orangutan named Sue (who survived a NASA mission and cannibals, with Gump, in the first book).

Mister McGivver is a hog farmer in Coalville, West Virginia. He picks up a hitchhiking Forrest Gump (who is fleeing an angry mob after the disastrous New Coke reveal) and brings him to his hog farm.

Forrest, as well as his son, who came to visit for the summer, come up with several brilliant ideas to improve the farm:

Forrest had the idea to recycle food from a nearby Army base under the control of Sergeant Krantz
Little Forrest had the idea to put hogs on the railroad for sale, rather than personally drive them to be sold
Little Forrest had the idea to push the farm's produced pig feces into the nearby empty mine, and use its produced methane to power the city
Little Forrest had the idea to use a similar method to the above to power ships to send hogs to overseas markets
Each plan is a tremendous success. One day, the town holds a ceremony to celebrate the prosperity brought about by the farm and its workers. Forrest absentmindendly forgets to release the gas pressure at the methane plant, and the plant explodes, cutting the power and showing the city in pig feces. Forrest is run out of town.

Later in the novel
Forrest again finds a drunken Mister McGivver while stationed in Alaska. McGivver was ruined by the destruction of his farm, and now works as the captain of the Exxon Valdez. A heavy drunk, he starts the ships engines and becomes incapacitated in a delusional fantasy about pirates; a clueless Forrest is left to pilot the ship, until it runs aground and spills ten million gallons of crude oil.
