The plot of this movie is absolutely ridiculous. You have a slow man who does basically everything. He goes to war, meets the president twice, goes on a shrimp boat, creates a million dollar company, etc.
Like do you really expect me to believe this man, goes on to spend his whole life in the military, and then go out on a shrimp boat and start catching everything in sight, first try, with no experience? Also, he became a world class ping pong player just from casually playing ping pong for hobby out of boredom. Can you image how pissed off everyone else in the tournaments would be to hear, "oh yeah, that guy just does this for fun, didn't even train". He also met the president not once, but twice, and didn't really give a crap either time. Like I don't care how slow you are, you'd probably have some feelings towards meeting the president. Like for example, if I met Trump right now, I'd probably want to leave immediately. Like as fast as I could. You know what, never mind.
Anyway, my point is in the whole movie Forest does like 10 things that take most people their entire life just to do one of the things is they finish it at all. And trying to tell me he's slow on top of all of that? Yeah, I just can't buy it.
I love the movie, and when I get to the line where he's visiting Jenny's grave I bawl my eyes out just like the rest of the human race but I just can't buy the storyline. Its cool and all, but just not probable.
