I heard the movie Forrest Gump has interesting historical references. Should I watch Forrest Gump just based on his interest in literature?
>>24739137Id say its more /his/ than /lit/ but go ahead. Be prepared thats its a boomer sob story. I saw it in 1995 when I was 13
>>24739143>sob storyits a comedy, understandable a 13 year old wouldnt notice>>24739137its worth watching just in general, its a very decent movie. if you know what the vietnam war, black panthers and hippies are then you have all the necessary historical knowledge
>>24739498>comedyI didn't find anything funny at all about it, still dont unless its unintentional. Dunno what kind of comedies you're watching
It's a boomer nostalgia slideshow (as in literal boomer, someone born between 1950-1965). Watch it if you want to see a bunch of outdated pop culture references, I guess.
>>24739567Not that anon, but maybe you should watch it again so you're not gumming up the board with ignorance. It's very clearly a comedy riddled with social satire.
>>24739498>>24739648I'd say it's a dramedy.
