Can't understand how this film managed to make me sad without getting me emotionally invested

Rating: 5/10 (20 November 2018)

Every character in this movie is either paper thin or a carbon copy of a Forest Gump character. Making people feel sad watching people age and die is not the same as envoking emotions through masterful film making.
Watch Forest Gump instead. This film is a poor copy of it in every regard.
