>movie is about how boomers had it so easy even a retard could become a millionaire businessman and sports champion while also singlehandedly influencing culture and politics.
>>220313992I love how this movie triggers zoomers.
>>220313992Nope. Movie is about how 1950s conservative America doesn't hesitate to prop up a retard in life as long as he/she confirms, never question authority, never question the war, and eats up propaganda.
>>220314982*conforms
>>220314982See>>220314038
>>220313992jenny and dumbo are good people in terrible situationsdeal with it
>>220315029>Jenny >Good person
too many people say this is overrated so now it is officially underrated
>>220315048she didnt try to destroy anyone but herself,people who got through abuse when they are kids can get much much worse at adulthood
>>220313992>AYO DIS WY BOI CRAZEE>CRACKA GET TCHOO UNSEZZUND ASS CHOC LIT OUTTA HERE
>>220315048She ran away from home because her dad was diddling her, she had an uphill climb
>>220315470Trauma doesnt justify being a shit person. I dated a girl who was SAd as a kid and grew into an alcoholic with all kinds of personality disorders. I can sympathize but she was doing all kinds of horrible shit to herself and others instead of getting real help.
>>220315095It's still considered a highly rated classic despite some people correctly rating it as embarrassing trash.
>>220315618>Trauma doesnt justify being a shit personit kinda does,to some extent,it takes a very good person to not start harming other for some personal demons that deranged you.
>>220313992I used to go to a church on the square where that scene was filmed, it's super gay now.
comfiest book cover
>>220315731Wrong, if anything choosing to continue a cycle of abuse is worse because you know what it's like to be on the receiving end.
>>220315894yeah,why people with traumas don't just try to not be traumatized
>>220316002Thats just life. Everybody's got their traumas, insecurities, issues, etc but you gotta try to be a normal, good person if not for the people around you then for yourself. Too many people today think spiraling into this "woe is me" trauma glorification shit is somehow better for them but its actually worse.
>>220314982if there's anything Americans recall about the 1950s, it's the Vietnam War
>>220315842Do people form lines to sit on it? Is it in an out of the way place or near other tourist slop? Is there a bubba gump?
>>220316070what about a naturally weak willed person who was abused adn never had the support or the tools to properly recover.Being in the place of the abuser instead of the victim,will help him/her in the short term because he can kind of rewrite his fucked up memories,now he is the strong torturer and not the one suffering the violence.
>>220313992It was never supposed to be taken seriously, that only happened because of Tom Hanks. It was originally intended for Chevy Chase to play Forrest.
>>220313992>>220314982It’s just a fun movie about a silly guy who likes running
>>220314982Postwar America is the most liberal period in US history, as illustrated in the film, you literally have to be libtarded to think anything being portrayed in the film other than Forrest himself can be considered "conservative"
>>220316178Support is always there, unless you're a stupid libtard atheist faggot. It's always been this way. That's why a BPD crazy bitch can sorta be fixed by having a child. She will use the kid as a support animal and attention, instead of doing simple things that can deal with simple problems EVERYONE has. The rules were set a long time ago, and progressives keep trying to change what works, based on lies spread by commies who just want to assume positions of power without having any skill or talent, besides to deceive. That's also becoming a tale as old as time.
>>220315618>SAdPerhaps the problem was that you are a faggot redditor.
>>220316002Someone can be traumatized without taking it out on other people, they're just using it as an excuse.
>>220315618why be SAd when you can be HAPPy
>>220316178What do you want the answer to be? Sure, be an evil shitty person because you were fucked over previously?
>>220316842>What do you want the answer to be? none in particularI enjoy making difficult questions because it makes me feel smart.developing critical thinking isnt bad either.
>>220316902Its not even a difficult question.>hey, I was traumatized as a kid, is it now ok to take on the role of the abuser and traumatize others who did nothing wrong to me as a form of therapeutic revenge?Dumbest question i've heard all week.
>>220314982Confirms what?
>>220314982Yeah turns out we don't like people who don't share our values and spend their every waking moment trying to subvert and destroy the country they live in. It's a white person thing, you wouldn't get it.
>>220317380confirms conservatism benefits society and the individual, while being a liberal faggot is a dead end. Ask the Vietcong.
>>220317250>is it now okWho's asking if it's okay?
>>220315029Jenny settles for Gump because she always felt like he was a last resort.
>>220317250I was giving a simple explanation on how trauma works.this is why girls who were raped as kids become prostitutes,or kids with alcoholic dads become alcoholic beaters themselves,they reverse the role and find some short term relieve doing it.but im antiviolence except in the cases when isreally necesary.In a fairy land everyone will be happy all the time and people would have figured out how to deal with their internal problems but we dont live in that world.
>>220313992Yes the movie is literally a satire
>>220313992>a retardhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6WHBO_Qc-Q
>>220315618Genuinely thought you meant 'sad' and accidentally capitalized it. You need to slither back to whatever the fuck faggots den you crawled out of
>>220317513Hm, it doesn't say satire anywhere. Why do you lie?
>>220317555I usually post on reddit and instagram but thats just how people talk everywhere nowadays what's the big deal?
>>220317722no thats how theyre forced to talk whenever they don't want some power tripping tranny mod or big corp slop algorithm to blacklist them
>>220317722reddit and instagram dont have as many people with autism and OCDbut you can still say things like rape,or nigger in 4chin
>>220316147They took that bench out and put it in a museum, there's another one there but you might find a hobo sleeping on it Savannah's gotten kinda rough. It's in the downtown area where all the historic buildings are, lots of squares there.
>>220317816>a public bench from a shitty 90s movie is worth storing in a museumIts not even a memorable prop.
>>220313992It's about how being a good goy that doesn't question anything, doesn't complain and doesn't plan ahead can become succesful because of luck.So stop doing those things now and you might become a billionaire too like Retard Goymp.
>>220313992>jew larping as a white hickmillennials really ate this shit.
>>220313992It's Vietnam war apologism. "We weren't really lied to, we went through so many changes but we still living large" - 10yrs before the dotcom bubble as the 1st of the last few since taking USD off gold standard (now USG has to raise 6 trillion just to service old + new debt interest for Q2 alone.)

>>220313992>>220315146Why he said his great grandfather was a Klansman to the black woman?
If ever a movie was due for a remake, this be the one. Should follow the book more closely and really dial up the comedy aspects. No clue who would play Gump, the only working male actor these days seems to be Timmy Charlemet and he couldn't pull it off.
>>220319997With the alcoholism and him fucking that orangutan it would have to be Paul Rudd
>>220319997They originally wanted Chevy Chase
>>220320112You keep saying that but I don't believe you
>>220313992>even a retard could become a millionaire businessman and sports champion while also singlehandedly influencing culture and politicsForrest was a multitalented savant. He got really lucky a few times, but most of his accomplishments were earned.

>>220313992it amazes me how no one in the writers room at that time realised that Jenny is an incredibly unsympathetic person, maybe zoomers who have never experienced an internet-less world don't get it, but she literally just fucked off and abandoned Forrest about (3) times.
>>220320392She was raped a LOT as a kid. Assuming you survive to adulthood that makes you a deeply fucked up person. If you dislike her then you don't get her.
>>220320413I was molested when I was younger, at no point did this miraculously curse me with wanting to be a cunt to my friends.
>>220320448desu sounds like you deserved it and got off easy in the grand scheme of things
>>220320465women love to dig their nails into a person, it's not all about you, being borderline doesn't excuse yourself from keeping yourself in check.
>>220313992He was a goddamn war hero
>>220320413abused women think they have a monopoly on suffering, part of what makes Jenny undesirable is that she doesn't understand how hard it is for Forrest to be mentally challenged, he was also poor.
>>220320658Forest's mom owned a plantation and employed servants, he was not poor
it was a boarding house, watch the movie
>>220320728On a plantation
>>220320284>The true meaning of a film isn't stated anywhere, discussed by anyone, or alluded to anywhere outside the film.>Only by a random midwit virgin on 4chanKill yourself
>>220314982We used to take care of people in our society back in the day. It used to be even a retard like Forrest could be taught to pump gas or work on an assembly line. The people around him would have found a job for a guy like him. He might have rented a small room above the gas station and lived a nice quiet retarded life. Now even "starter" or "entry-level" jobs expect you to know how to operate a computer proficiently, and I've discovered that's a huge hurdle for some retards if they didn't grow up with them. Nowadays we're surrounded by minorities and they all have their hand out, wanting a free living. I meet black folks who want a free house and cash money deposited in the bank each month just for existing! So the good folks who would take care of a guy like Forrest, they say no. Let the government deal with him. I'm tired of feeling scared walking down the street in my own neighborhood where they move these black animals in to rob and rape us. Did you hear what happened to the Johnson's daughter? I don't want to help no one no more. This ain't the the same country I was born in.
>>220320897If you are old enough to have genuinely experienced pre-9/11 America, you know that we are essentially living in a completely different world now. It's wild how different it it is now.
>thread consists of one incredibly frustrated anon lashing outI've seen this one
>>220313992When boomers left school (at age 15) they had to go work full time or they would die from poverty.They had like 5 options for a career. Almost all of them involved back breaking labor. They didn't have airconditioning.These days, you have about 1000 times more career options. You can make money by staying home and playing video games in your bedroom if you want to. (your bedroom is air conditioned too btw).And despite this you're STILL bitching about it.......
>>22032141099% of people don;t have these options and you know it
>>220321231I was born in 1985 and very aware of what things were like in my youth and before I was born because I talked a lot to my elderly family members about their experiences. I don't recognize much about society anymore. It's a horror show. I looked at pictures from the Met Gala this morning and only knew who one person was in all the pictures, and the clothing looked insane to me. Lightbulbs, bloody dresses, tits hanging out, dresses invoking satan. It was all too much.
>>220321410>you have 1,000 options but after I imported cheap labour to cut costs for my boomer company, you now have to both compete with foreigners and accept a worse income for 1,000 of these optionsFTFY
