Forest is literally r-slurred. So the argument that "mindlessly do what you're told and you'll succeed" doesn't exactly make sense because Forest is, again, r-slurred. All of this makes me believe that the movie is the ULTIMATE radical centrist flick and should be revered on here
There's a belief among mostly redditors (i assume) that the movie Forest Gump is "pro conformity" and "anti counter culture" because of that chick gettings AIDS from the diversity people BUT I think they're missing a bit of a big point

Been a while since I watched it but didn't she get aids sometime after getting pregnant by him and running off? And I know she ran off after he became rich.

Interpreting good and bad things happening to characters as punishment from God/Karma like it's a morality play is such a stupid way of critiquing stories. Unfortunately it's somewhat become the norm even amongst supposedly cultured audiences who want to turn everything into a giant allegory that clearly supports some political viewpoint over another.

Lol the movie was basically anti-conformity. Forrest didn't give a frick.

Not giving a frick because you're mentally handicapped is meaningless. Pooping your pants is anti-conformity. The movie was just about soyjacking over moments from the past few decades in American history, it doesn't condemn or promote conformity.
