The movie that I picked for this assignment was Forrest Gump. Forrest Gump is a Drama and Romance film directed by Robert Zemeckis, screenplay by Eric Roth, and written by Winston. This film stars Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, and Sary Sinise. It came out in 1994. Tom Hanks plays a young man named Forrest, who is mentally disabled. As we are introduced to Forrest, he is wearing Leg Braces. This is important because he continually gets trashed, and this is what empowers Forrest to become stronger. However, as the movie progresses, Forrest miraculously loses his leg braces, and it seems like he is "cured" for his disability. This is too unrealistic and ableist. This scene propels the stereotypes that people with disabilities have to lose their disabilities to become successful. As Forrest is the main character, having Forrest lose his disability also shows audiences that the "hero" should not have a disability.
