In an attempt to make a great movie about the reasonable, kind, eternal, the authors of Forrest Gump depicted something vague, absolutely unrealistic, grotesque. The most important thing I don't like about people is hypocrisy. It's scary to mention the main fact in the script that makes this movie iconic. It's the fact that the main character is weak-minded. Imagine the same film, but the main character is healthy, he is just healthy and incredibly successful, he cuts the truth, and his eccentric behavior is explained by his character traits and craving for a healthy lifestyle. A completely different film is obtained by the reaction of people to it, although the essence is the same primitive. Playing on the feelings of ordinary people. Who doesn't like a movie where the hero is so positive, successful, and even weak-minded? That's right, everyone should like such a film, and it doesn't matter at all that the picture has little to do with reality, that it is superficial and simple, that the truths revealed in it are so simple, obvious and known. You'd be ashamed to say you didn't like a movie where the protagonist is blissful.
