But its not meant to be a clean happy film. its messy, sad and very emotional.
Alot of people put focus on jenny but thats because she's not the main character, its very realistic to see her act like that considering;
She was sexually and physically abused by her own father for years
then treated the same by future guys she met with one even hitting her infront of gump
And look at Gumps mum;
she had to have sex with the school head to ensure her son wasn't put into retard camp because money isn't what he wanted as payment
Buba;
a low IQ black autist put in a suicide regiment aimed at killing low IQ blacks and whites, The only reason LT dan is in this regiment is because his entire goal in the military is to die on the battlefield like his ancestors
Dies in Gumps arms
LT Dan
brainwashed into being a great gollum thinking he is supposed to die on the battlefield for the government
and loses his legs at the cost of it
Gump himself:
No Dad
Retarded and bullied because of it
Poor legs and bullied because of it
house is often full of strangers to help afford rent
everyone knows his mum fucked the head teacher to stay in school
was tricked into getting put into suicide battalion
had his first ever male best friend die in his arms after he failed to find him till last
treated like shit by a man who he saved because he was so brainwashed (he later realised the gift gump gave him and thanked him)
The whole story is actually a deeply sad drama but with colourful contrast and hopeful music to hide you from really seeing it because its from Gumps perspective and being a retard he cannot see the grim reality of what is happening.
