His mom really did do a good job to prepare him for the bullshit he was going to have to deal with.

This was such a gut wrenching scene. Through the movie, Forest seems to take it in stride when he’s looked down on or bullied. He doesn’t seem very aware that he’s different, except for the rare occasion. But in this scene, all the trauma of being bullied and outcast for his condition floods back to him, and it’s evident he’s always been aware and sensitive to how the world treated him. He doesn’t want his son to have to go through the same hardships, so his first question is whether the kid is like him.

Is this copied from somewhere? I read this exact reply before on a similar Forest Gump post.

I mean it’s a pretty simple observation. Many people who actually engage with the movie come to this conclusion.

Yeah it’s such a short moment and it hits like a train. He knows what he is, accepts it, but is scared for his son.
