My suspicion with Forrest Gump is more that it appeals to the people who saw live the news clips it parodies and lived through some of the times and experiences it depicts, since it depicts past events in a nostalgic tone, without ever trying to change how one might feel about any specific political policy that influenced the events, and it never tries to change anyone's mind about anything. It's just a story that never really challenges you
You must not understand Tom and Eric. See, when they said Chrimbus... /s
agree to disagree on Tim and Eric but Forrest Gump is a turd, I have no idea why people like that movie
I have watched Forrest Gump many many times trying to understand the appeal and because others liked it and wanted to watch it. I begged my brain to like literally anything about it but it cannot. It is horrible. I dislike it so deeply. I still can't figure out why.
I mean, he's literally an idiot.
