my former favourite movie

That is an interesting thought about jenny symbolizing all women. Along those lines, it occurs to me that lieutenant dan losing his legs must symbolize the experience of the american military in vietnam.

Like i said on this thread years ago, the movie cuts out a lot of the story told by the book. Forrest is an idiot savant, like rainman. He is a chess genius and also a perfect physical specimen (tom hanks couldnt be everything). He as a character might symbolize all humanity in some sense. We can do great things without realizing how dumb we all collectively are.

I didn't know Forrest was intended by the book to be a perfect physical specimen. That would explain how he smoked them on the football field. Was it University of Georgia or Auburn?

So the real Forrest was a physical stud with unrealistically high morals?

I don't know that the book really regarded him as having that high of morals. He was a pro wrestler called "the dunce." Yet nasa let him be an astronaut, because he was rainman good at math equations. When his spaceship crash lands on an island of cannibals, he has to beat the chief at chess every day, under penalty of being eaten if he loses. The book made a lot of the savant irony, the idiot who could do anything.

A real rain maker at bedding hoes. So predictable and delectable. Mental Mastery is my forte, target bending them over cause I said so like a rainman in the game. Getting flushed and gushing while they in my presence. Always asking 'me what happened why do I feel this way?".. "Nothing ma, you just like me. '
