"Living an idiot is not a piece of cake," says Forrest Gump, the hero and narrator of Winston Groom's best-selling novel. Forrest, a young man with a big heart, hates when people call him moron and moron. Fact sometimes thinks slower than others, but nature has not possessed his muscles and growth. He is also not a typical idiot because, for example, quantum physics and complicated calculations do not make him difficult. Forrest is the embodiment of simplicity and innocence, modern Candide, whose fates intertwine with important events in the recent history of America: he fights in Vietnam and meets President Johnson, becomes a ping-pong champion and saves from drowning Mao Tse-tung, flies into space with a major Fritch and the orangutan Zuzia, meets President Nixon, successes as a wrestler and chess player, escapes from the film set with Raquel Welch, establishes a shrimp company and eventually becomes a millionaire. He never stops being faithful to Jenny - his great love from school years. It is a living proof that you do not need to be wise to reach something, all you need is indestructible optimism and cheerfulness
