I believe the reason why it may appear Forrest Gump never have conflict/obstacles is the way he responds to each obstacle with a kind of peace or violent reaction to each. His reaction leads us to believe there was no obstacles to overcome.

The biggest conflict throughout the whole movie is his "handicap" it always seems like he is not going to master the next task because he seems "dumb" to the viewer.but he shows that his "disability" actuslly is a gift in most cases except for Jenny

Michael is an awesome man. The question I have in regards to a conflict scene is "how can my reader care about this conflict scene" just because a hero has a desire and obstacle doesn't automatically mean they'll care about it, right?. So a guy is gonna lose his job if he doesn't get through the traffic, a woman will have her house repo'd if she doesn't get 5k from her sister, why should the reader care? I would respectfully disagree on his stance with first time writers and them writing a script that can be made and marketed to the general public. Look at Eric Singers first script 'The Sky is falling', ultra violence from 2 renegade priests that have proof that gods not real, children in gangs killing eachother, and that was back in 1998, when scripts were much more conventional in the industry. That would never of been made, would of been marketed to an ultra niche audience if it was, BUT it launched his career. Your script that launches your career won't be made anyway, it'll usually get you an agent, though there are exeptions. Another example of a writer launching their career, forgive me I cant remember the writers name or the title of the screenplay, but it was about the muppets, the Jim Henson muppets, but had them swearing, and all sorts of profanity. That film legally couldn't be made as he didn't have the rights to the muppet franchise, but again that's not a script that could be bought by Netflix and marketed to the mass audience.

Final Draft...

Final Draft is so difficult to use. Celtx is so much easier -- and it's free.

Movie Magic ScreenWriter 6. It is the best. i use it for all my screenplays and Graphic Novels. Good luck

If you put the time and effort to Final Draft you will not be upset. Final Draft has its learning curve but at the end it kicks ass. Celtx free version is not safe if you are working on secret projects and such. They can see everything you do. Im talking about the online version. I wonder why they made it that way hmmm well thinking from a programmer's perspective. Ive been a programmer for over 18 years and believe me when I say it anyone at there office can see what you have saved in there servers. I dont trust that at all!

Heroes? Transformative Uncertainties? Serial killers can be main characters, whose aim is not to get out of a bad situation but to cause bad situations for other people. Many horror films end on negative notes, and imaginatively, just when it seems that there's a happy ending. This advice is too based on commercial films that flatter people for noble traits they probably don't actually have, rather than about somebody taking an independent approach, and I'm bailing at 15:00 "connecting with another person." Some of the most successful "mainstream" studio releases have people who want to connect with other people, as they often do in real life., for the worst reasons and in the worst ways. Then there's the independent Larry Cohen and his satirical crime films and procedurals.
