Forrest Gump was both physically and mentally handilcapped, but overcomes both to attain so much success most genius would can only dream of...
That's possible only in America
That's what the move about It's funny, sad and sweet
It's also a satire of America life...
He was born with crooked spine, so has to wear leg braces he overcomes it by running fast (bcz of Jenny's encouragement) and later becomes a expert runner
He's IQ is so low he's not even allowed to attend elementary school with other students until his mothers "encounter" with the school principal
Although the movie doesn't spell it out, he exhibits symptoms of Autism or Asperger syndrome (He is not officially diagnosed, but that's how it was in entertainment until recent times)
Forrest's literal interpretation of speech,
his excellence in things that follows a rigid patterns, his unbelievable ability to maintain a singular focus (his ping pong skills)
He takes everything literally for eg
When Lyndon Johnson jokes I'd like to see the wound in his buttocks he bends down rolls down his pants and shows him
But he tanks to his mother never thinks himself as handicap
