Forrest Gump is such a poo poo movie. I never knew why when I was younger, but I knew then it was poo poo too.

I watched it as a kid and all the historical references meant nothing to me. I occasionally think that I should rewatch it as an adult, but never make it any further than that.

It appears that the elephant is highly sensitive to the effects of LSD - a finding which may prove to be valuable in elephant-control work in Africa.

My godfather objected to Forrest Gump because it "glorified stupidity." I think he fell asleep during the part where Forrest is clearly identified as disabled and thought he was just dumb on purpose.

i don't remember much about my aunt but one thing i remembered is she hated that movie because Forrest just got handed things

Just getting the cancer was enough anyway imo. Walt's a deeply prideful person that's been (from what we see in the pilot) effectively beaten into submission as a human being. Once he's been given that death sentence he's going off regardless of whether or not his hospital bills are paid for (he'd still want to leave them money after he died and all that)

Forrest Gump is a dark comedy about how the American Dream is bullshit as illustrated by a developmentally challenged descendant of the first KKK Grand Wizard stumbling into being a millionaire war hero with no effort.

I'm just glad Drake is officially "Robin" again instead of the weird thing for a while when they made it so he was never officially a Robin, but instead "Red Robin" for no good reason.

I honestly feel like the whole Bat family should be bi. Bruce, Dick, Jason, Selina. All of 'em.

The book is full of so much more insane poo poo than the movie but the most disappointing part to me is that Gump is supposed to be some huge absolute unit brick shithouse. I think the author was quoted as saying that John Goodman would be a way better fit for the character's appearance, but Hanks' acting skills were just too killer. But imagining any scene from Forrest Gump where he is a 6'6" 300lb beefcake makes it so much better.

What the absolute gently caress is the book about. With how little they kept, it seems like they could have just made the same movie with a different name and shrugged a little if the author claimed they copied

It’s basically what the movie is about just more of it.

Like the book and movie doesn’t have a plot just stuff happens then it ends

That could be said about a lot of stories, at which point the stuff that happens is sort of important. Like it sounds like the main character and an enormous amount of his life are completely different, and wheres the drat orangutan

I was just telling my partner about this! In the book, Forrest Gump fucks, cusses, and is from the very real city of Mobile, Alabama (not the fake town from the movie).

No I mean it’s just stuff. Forrest goes to an event stuff happens, then he goes to another event with little relation to the last.

It’s honestly set up like a tv show. Just make each event an episode. His relationship with Jan is the only real connective tissue

I love telling people about that book. I read that back in 10th grade after having seen the movie and was completely unprepared.

Don't they (Forrest, a lady astronaut, and a monkey) crash in Sumatra or somewhere and run into a tribe of cannibals?
