For some reason, ping pong came very natural to me.For some reason, ping-pong came very natural to me, so I started playing it all the time. I played ping-pong even when I didn't have anyone to play ping-pong with.

A recurring theme in the movie is that Forrest was always very obedient based on how simple his mind was. When he was told to never take his eye off the ball, he made sure to keep his eyes on the ball. Much like how Jenny's commands to run made him such a great runner.

@Bobsmith-xq2pr Жыл бұрын

@@radioactivedragonite2420 Both the word Prodigy and Genius can refer to the many forms of intelligence. "My child is a prodigy" "That guy is a genius!" Neither word actually defines/implies the type of intelligence in context, be it street smarts, book smarts, physical intelligence.... Genius by definition can mean creativity and/or intelligence, and prodigy by definition basically mean exceptional talent in an unspecified manner. The use of either genius or prodigy in this context is only a semantic difference, and either word is perfectly valid in this situation.

Forrest Gump had to have been written with Tom Hanks in mind. The movie was both simple and charming in its own way. I doubt that Forrest Gumps' character would have carried well with any other actor in the role. Tom Hanks earned his Oscar for this and no other reason.
