I fucking hate Forrest Gump. What a stupid ass movie.
I agree.
People were quoting Gump's lines in his retarded voice from that movie for years after that film came out.
It made everyone sound like a retard.
But of course...Hollywood loves glorifying the disabled & retards and promoting them as entertaining heroes and role models. Truth is, the real (((agenda))) is that they want everyone to be weak and disabled and be totally ok with it...like it's the "new normal".
Perfect examples of this:
(((They))) were pushing asperger & autism heros 30 to 40 years ago before anyone knew what the hell autism was.
The film "Being There" came out in 1979 starring (((Peter Sellers))) in his last role just before he died. It's about how an retard recluse who probably is an aspie/autist becomes president of the united states by pure accident.
^^^^^^^^^^
(This is a genuine poster from back then....notice the black and white creepy symbols at the bottom)
Then in 1988 they released Rain Man with Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman which was also about autistic "heroes" and immediately dumped 4 oscars on it.
Obvious agenda is obvious now....but they have been DECADES ahead of us for a long time now.
Hopefully we are quicker to spot this sort of shit nowadays.

Can someone tell me what the ending of “Being There” means?
Did Chance die?
Was he an angel?
Was the whole movie a dream?
Other hypothesis?
I have watched that movie maybe 5 times...and every time the ending blows my mind.

The (((secret cabal))) of 6 very powerful and rich men at the funeral carrying the coffin of the 7th dead member, under the illuminati pyramid with the all seeing eye at the top, decide that they will put Chance as president of the USA. Indicating that these 6 men actually run the world and the president is whoever they pick, even if he is a confirmed retard.
These men are so good at leading & deceiving the world that they can even make you believe a retard has the same powers as Jesus...as indicated by Chance "walking on water"...which is accomplished with (((the usual illusions, trickery, deception, and lies))).
Here's the full video scene for those of you into illuminati porn:
Nowadays, when I re-watch this stuff I always feel dirty & unclean and like I immediately need another shower or bath.

I think it's supposed to be something along the lines of "he can walk on water because he never learned/doesn't know that he can't" or some similar kind of boomer/hippy sentiment.
If ever it comes on I only tune in to watch Peter Sellers cracking up in the bloopers during the closing credits.

This was the seventies, a time when everyone was tired of the Vietnam war, Watergate, college protests, violent lefties, the whole sixties shebang.
No one wanted to deal with grownup stuff, and there was a pretty serious retreat into nonseriousness: Disco. Pet Rocks. Streaking. Superficial pop psych.
Being there came out in '79, and it was only a year later that I saw a nostalgia shop open up in Berkeley for people in their twenties which had their favorite candies, lunch boxes with their favorite cartoons.
So it is no surprise that people wanted easy answers rather than hard questions, and the figure of Chauncey Gardener was perfect. Keep it simple. The wise fool. All we need is a retreat to childish simplicity.
One of the bestselling books at the time was a self help book called
It had such classic advice as:

Might be the inception of the safe space mentality.
I liked Being There. It was well acted, well written, and was a beautiful fable. It was fine without the "Maybe Jesus will come back as a moron" twist ending.
It also laid the groundwork for Forrest Gump, and this is unforgivable.

I always thought the ridiculousness of late 70's movies had less to do with childishness and more to do with the massive amounts of cocaine that everybody in the entertainment industry was snorting like crazy at the time.
From what I've read and seen, it was everywhere. Music, movies, TV, books, you name it. Everybody was high back then, and that's no exaggeration.
When I was little we got cable in the late 70's and I watched all the silly Hollywood movies that went straight to HBO back then. As a little boy I loved them, my parents hated them. Looking back now and knowing that most if not all of the people involved in those movies were geeked to the gills, it makes me laugh even harder.
