Even The Mentally Challenged Can Be A Master of The Universe

Rating: 8/10 (20 January 2014)

Almost Anyone can become Amazingly Successful in America, just Look at those who have run for President and Vice President of the United States and some have Actually Won. Arguably not Our Best and Brightest.
This is Excellent Entertainment, but could be Dangerous Entertainment. It's like those Infamous Subliminal Messages you Hear about that Enter the Subconscious without Your Consent or Knowledge. In this Movie nothing is Hidden, it is Unabashedly Up-Front about its Intent.
This is a Fun Film but be Advised. It has a Political and Social Agenda. In one of the First Scenes the Audience is shown how Forrest got His Name. From one of the Founders of the Ku Klux Klan. And We're off and Running.
Gump's Unanswered Love for His Sweetheart Jenny is Hammered Home throughout and She, along with any other Liberals are Treated here with Contempt and Her Behavior towards Forrest Gump is more than Contemptful, it is Hateful until the Bitter End in this "Sweet" Movie.
If this Film is Approached with just a Little Cultural Awareness and Realize that it is Manipulating the Audience on All Levels, it can be Enjoyed as a Philosophical Point of View on any Number of Subjects. But the Filmmakers Know that most Folks are not that Discerning and Therein Lies the Danger.
