Time and Gump Happen to Them All

Sharing Options

Forrest Gump (1994) and its predecessor Being There (1979) are both popular movies that communicate the idea of a chance world in which events occur without purpose. The use of mentally challenged men in both films is a metaphor for chance itself. They have no ‘intelligent design’ to their lives and yet both of them become important figures in history with even realizing it” (Brian Godawa, Hollywood Worldviews, p. 61).
