This was my absolutely first watch of it.

I am very impressed. I was over and over with this movie.

I think it pictures what should be important to us. Not intelligence, being smart or what society thinks of us. But rather...being content with our life ourselves.

People mock Forrest all the time as stupid. I don't even think he is. I think he would somehow fit the description of an autistic person. In fact, he can indeed do very many things better than most people - despite failing at what seems to be basic and obvious to people. He just does what people say, and is stubborn and doesn't stop - and by this, ironically, is superior to these people that mock him in such aspects.

We get down. We compare ourselves to our environment, loose hope. smacked down. Forrest don't! He just keeps going, no matter what others think of him or tell him otherwise. We should be all like him.
