  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.

    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.

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

    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.

  He’s a very special child. Claims he sees dead people.

  ai had the opposite problem (as did my mom) we were the ones with less-appreciated mental skills dumb ones in a family.of geniuses. And then would learn oh the rest of the world can’t do molecular chemistry computations in their head either.

  My dad, a literal rocket scientist (his job title was Aerospace Engineer) could do extremely sophisticated math where I failed Calculus Integration (and was called baroque by my calculus math instructor). So I grew up believing I was an idiot.

  I’m more likened to Ferdinand the Bull or Murphy the Eagle.
