    I finally read the book and Forrest is not mentally deficient at all in the book.

    In the book, he’s a very aware, intelligent person who’s good at focusing on and solving problems but has a speech impediment.

    Maybe the movie tried to do that, but I don’t think they tried to do that.

    He also goes to space with a chimpanzee.

    The book is pretty crazy.

    Imagine interacting with strangers beyond “did the bus I need already stop here?”.

      I can’t imagine interacting with strangers at all under any circumstances (as long as it’s on a bus).

        It’s so inconsiderate to interact with strangers in an environment they cannot escape.
