    Sounds like the movie made a change for the better.

      It’s been some time since I’ve read the book, but I always say, Forrest Gump is an example of the movie being better than the book.

      How do you mean?

      I found the book much more compelling.

      After I read it, I thought that maybe I would’ve cared about the movie if he had a scoche of relatability or development.

      Movie gump seemed like a trope rather than a character as soon as the previews were being shown.
