Question

Why are the film-makers so keen to show that Forrest is oblivious to the events that go on around him? Why are we encouraged to find it funny that he so blithely misses the point? Think again of Rita Kempley’s phrase “only a simpleton could miss the erosion in the national character.” She’s hinting at a message in the film. So what is the message? What is the theme of Forrest Gump? Explain in a paragraph!!!!!!

Answer 1

it's important to appreciate life while you have it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gump's story shows that you never know what's going to happen in the future, and that also includes not knowing when your time will be up or if your life is ever going to be compromised.
