forrest gump is not the movie you remember
When Forrest Gump came out, it felt like a feel-good film. A simple man, a big heart, and a series of lucky breaks through American history. But watching it years later, it feels like something else entirely: a quiet tragedy wrapped in sweetness.
Forrest is kind, loyal, and brave. But life doesn’t reward him with the same clarity. He loses people, faces heartbreak, and is left with questions he can’t answer. Middle-aged viewers might feel that ache—the way time slips by, the way history marches on, and the way love doesn’t always last, no matter how much you give.
It’s not just a story about destiny. It’s a story about survival in a world that rarely makes sense. And that’s why it lingers.
