Renhetfieldsforrest gump is a terrible film because all it succeed in is making history whiter than it already is. its littered with awful acting and is a prime example of americans ability to only enjoy movies with unrealistic happy endings
"Awful acting" is too subjective to be considered a valid argumentative point.
"Making history whiter than it aleady is" needs a lot more explanation for it to be considered a valid point, or even to be understood. As it is, I don't think anybody really understands your point of view beyond "field angry, field smash!"
fieldsyes, forrest gump finally gets the girl. yeah she has aids, but they both are old and will live out a period of their lives together. if you dont think thats happy then your standards are too high. La regle du jeu, sansho the bailiff, pulp fiction, the big lebowski, the birds, the shining, fargo, dr strangelove, and Das Cabinet des Dr Caligari are my favorite films. im sorry if you dont think the acting in those films is good
Forrest Gump doesn't have a happy ending or a sad ending. It's defined as bittersweet because his lover died, but he has a child whom he loves and gets to raise. You're assuming a hell of a lot about a good number of people you've likely never met when you try to say what they're capable of enjoying in a film.
I don't understand how that film list supports your argument or how it is relevant.
yikes, tf.tv community and making film arguments personal. incredible, anyway, awful acting is just barely subjective, if you've read movie reviews awful acting is often a point taken into whether a film is a good or not. As for the ultra-conservative, white man's burden ideals shown by Forrest Gump's "pureness" of character can be seen throughout the entire film in nearly every situation regarding the black man. they even make the black panther party appear as pretentious, young and naïve is just ridiculous and un-called for. this will be my last post in this thread because my vacation just started and i'm trying to relax, but feel free to add me on steam to continue the argument, thanks.
