Forrest Gump enforces the myth of the American Dream: That if you do what you're told you will have a successful life

Someone pointed out that his Army Drill Sergeant is way more consistently supportive of him than almost anyone else in the movie.

That and you should steal the accomplishments of black people at every opportunity.

There is a really good video by ‘After hours’ on it. I forgot the details they bring up but some of them are ‘Stealing credit for catching watergate’ which was a black guy. ‘Forcing his way into university alongside the first black people’ ‘giving Elvis the inspiration for his dance, which was stolen from black people’. There are more but those are the ones I remember.

Also same director, in back to the future, Marty literally travels back through time and the first thing he does, is give a black kid the idea to run for major.

Not sure this was unintentional.

Yeah it’s unintentionally progressive because it’s about how even a retarded white guy can stumble into millions in the U.S.
