I always hated how nobody knew who he was on his bench. He must've been the most famous man alive after just 2 of his big accomplishments and he had something like 20 of those. Gigantic events making any regular person super famous.

in the logic of the movie, is forest gump magic? or is he lying?

He had magic legs anon.

Zoomers/Alphas are the people who think you can't play a movie with sex in it because it might offended the girl you're on a date with.
>>
>>221791987
I'm not a zoomer but I find that movie EXTREMELY overrated
why?
>>
The entire movie is basically a middle aged Boomer power fantasy

>Idiot savant who does what he's told by authority figures get ahead in life and becomes wealthy while some hippie chick who rebels is seen as a drug addicted loser
>>
>>221791987
A literal crippled retard existed in a time where he could travel the world, meet the president, hang out with famous musicians, fall assbackwards into billions of dollars. and so forth.

Your average zoomer will rent till they die while their wages continue to be devalued by boomers inflating the currency and bringing in more slave labor to fund their SSAs.

Global nuclear exchange NOW PLEASE.

>>221791987
The movie is about a literal retard who gets rich and famous from being born in the most prosperous time in U.S. history. Meanwhile zoomers are working 50 hour weeks and still can’t move out of their childhood bedroom.

My mom was such a prude about it I actually thought that until I was almost 20. God I'm a retard.

And his friend struggles through life because she tries to fight against the system.

>>221791987
It’s a movie that appeals to exactly one generation and only that generation. What is a Millennial supposed to get out of Forrest Gump? What about a Zoomer? The world it idealizes no longer exists - in fact, it’s that world which many younger viewers know is what caused their suffering. Boomers adore Forrest Gump because he’s them. He’s a bonafide idiot who stumbled through life and acquired immense wisdom, experience and wealth through nothing more complicated than showing up and saying “yes.” Every Boomer believes that’s how they acquired their own personal wealth and prestige. Now, I’m not going to be too critical and say the era was some sort of utopian paradise, but there were so many opportunities that anyone could take risks without fearing it would completely ruin you.
>>
Pick yourself up by your own bootstraps you whiny little bitches. Boomers WORKED for what they have. Most of you sniveling little FAGGOTS have never even held a job in your entire lives.

Nobody owes you fuckall.

People rightfully shat on Supergirl for being two hours of convenient coincidences, but Forrest Gump is the same exact thing. He always manages to bump into someone who gives him something of value.
>>
>>221793623
But he wasnt being a girl boss. He was humble about those gifts.

zoomies don't think about forrest gump
>>
>>221792208
Nah nothing he did was big enough to be recognizable by most people. How many all American running backs can you recognize by face alone? How many medal of honor winners? And especially back then, most people wouldn't know the face of a random millionaire who owns one of the largest shrimping fleets.

>>221793607
Yes that is a Dog Walker.

>but Forrest Gump is the same exact thing. He always manages to bump into someone who gives him something of value.
yeah, but that was the point...a literal retard happening to be one of the most influential person in a limited sphere. subverting the slow person not being great. Obiviously having that attached to a superhero doesn't work (haven't seen supergirl, so ill have to take your word for it)

It bothers them to realize that there was important shit before the internet.

zoomers dgaf about movies at all, u dumdum.
btw thoughts on doug's favorite film?
>>
>>221791987
Zoomers don't like media where the protagonist is smarter then them
>>
>>221792208
There was no internet back then. He was on tv a few times and in magazines, but those were one off events that a normal alabama bus riding simpleton wouldnt remeber. Granted they would likely remember his name from bama football, but they wouldnt recognize his face because he wore a helmet when playing and he no one would associate the rambling retard on the bench as a collegiate all star
