Move over, Triumph of the Will. We've got a fresh new load of propaganda!For a movie that acts almost like a travelogue for how awesome America is, don't you think it's odd that the story centers around your average American - some random, low-intelligence nobody?The theme of this movie is simple: Do as you're told. That's all Forrest does in the whole movie, and he ends up a famous millionaire entrepreneur war hero athlete and pop culture icon. Jenny, on the other hand, does the exact opposite, questions the status-quo at every turn, stands up for what she believes in all throughout the movie...and ends up a depressed abuse victim with two broken homes and AIDS.Subtle. Yeah, so don't bother learning things or educating yourself. Your country has it all covered, and if you obey, your life will be grand.As the late great Bill Hicks once said..."Go back to bed, America. Your government is in control."Fuck that.Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but the movie stank regardless.
This is like, some kind of weird, conservative fantasy. If watching this served any good purpose, it's a possibly vital reminder that the Clinton era was not as progressive as many of us might like to remember - the latter half of the 20th century in America through the eyes of a reactionary, nearly 50 years of social tumult regarded as just a brief phase of unrest before everything returns to 'normal,' - the Vietnam War, Black Panthers, and social justice activists regarded as a big joke, Jenny's character is subtly demonised - every decision she makes is the 'wrong' one, she doesn't find happiness until she bends to Forrest's will - Forrest is always 'right' - even though he does nothing but observe.
Een man met een laag IQ doorkruist decennia Amerikaanse geschiedenis, behaalt opmerkelijke prestaties en is getuige van belangrijke historische momenten, terwijl hij zoekt naar zijn jeugdliefde.
