I mean... I guess it's okay?

Rating: 5/10 (22 January 2020)

This is a well made movie, but it had no balls and offended me just enough to keep me from truly liking it. I'm autistic and, while Tom Hanks did a good job, it was a little unrealistic. And that kinda sums up my problem with this movie. It takes a real and serious topic...and does nothing with it. They never even say that it's autism(and if they do, they say it in passing.) His mom had to have sex with the principal in order to get her son into school...never discussed again. Forrest fights in Vietnam...nothing's done there. No satire, no blood, nothing of any substance really. Jenny gets AIDS? The question mark is because, again, THEY NEVER SAY IT'S AIDS!!!!! How did this win best picture again?
