A mother with disabled child trying to get medical care she can't afford so bangs the doctor while her kid listens out on the swing - quite the laugh. The South emblemized not just as a folksy kind of stupid but charming Gomer Pyle or a quasi-mysterious rootsy Chauncey Gardener but as a congenital idiot who has all these things fall in his lap, but can't recognize when his girlfriend's cheating on him - what should be heartbreaking has audiences howling. I was befuddled by a foreign father - very successful business type -who gleefully recounted watching it with his 10-year-old, wondering how they handled the masturbation scene. The "run, Forrest, run" is great for a film, but in real life the kid just gets the shit beaten out of him. Again. "Sometime you just don't have enough rocks" - yeah, that was the only line i liked to the movie.</p> </div></div></div> Tue, 27 Apr 2021 05:36:58 +0000 PeraclesPlease comment 304605 at http://dagblog.com
