Gump,gifted with a low IQ which lets him be adorably childlike even as he grows up,leads a very charming life:a miraculous incident that eliminates the need for him to have braces for his legs,a childhood girlfriend who remains faithful to him till the end,surviving Vietnam with a medal,and,in general,a propensity for turning everything that happened to him into good.I wonder that the movie is trying to say.
From one perspective,it implies that intelligence is a very unneessary trait.But I think one can look beyond that and say that childlike innocence,which can be considered stupid,has it rewards.Through out the movie,Gump is in situations where he is harassed by other people but he never takes offense at any of the insults thrown at him.He is indeed not completely stupid,even though he is portrayed as such,since he can re-assmble guns at high speed,run like crazy ,play ping-pong like a maniac,and so on.The fact that Gump doesn't take offense ,I think is what keeps him content.He become a millionaire ,But gives most of the money away.He is opened and this,along with his alabama accent,endears him to hte audience.
