Lt. Dans arc is so real to me. Even before I knew it. My back problems put a stop to my gym bodybuilding passion. I was great, now I'm just average. Gotten a bit overweight. Have bad sleep due to inflammation and pain (before I slept like a baby). And overall felt like shit for 1.5 years. I really wanted to end it all. I had no love interests, no passions, except gym through my 17-22 yo. Now I'm 24 and went through all stages of 5 stages of grief (you may find it laughable, but if you have one strong passion in life, and suddenly ripped off of it, you'll understand. I got up at 5 am to go to the gym. I was doing it 6 times a week.). And just like Lt. Dan I've come to terms with it. And it feels like I found another passion in life - programming. I loved maths in school and Uni, and always liked logical stuff. Programming is what I do all of my free time. Sure I can't do bodybuilding anymore. But life moves on. As did Lt. Dan. As did I. If you feel like shit, and want to take the final decision - trust me. You always can do it, just say: I can always do it tomorrow. And tomorrow say the same. Move day by day. Week by week. Seek passion. And you'll prevail.

His learning disability made him a bit literal and child-like in thinking but helped him become good at stuff like Ping pong and made him famous etc. He doesn't overcome the learning disability but we see him grow through it.

Movie: Died in Every Single American War Also movie: *Forgets Korean*

[@redlizerad8268]

Well his daddy died in ww2 so maybe no one was there to fill the gap

[@robertisham5279]

Seems like everyone forgets about the Korean war why do you think people call it the forgotten war.

Since the whole movie was the resemblence of modern American history, what happened to Lieutenant Dan was the resemblence of Vietnam trauma over Americans. A guy that comes from a family history of fighting with victories, he was furious not only losing his legs but not having a chance to die. While it was seen that he was blaming Forrest because he saved him, he was also blaming himself inside for the defeat. The whole depression process evolved later into being angry to life at all until it ended with the ship scene. It was really satisfying to see a good ending for Dan, having a peace finally.

"Forest I'll never thank you for saving my life" and I still never will Lt Dan

I dunno if I just skipped over it or forgot about it but those two standing orders about taking care of your feet and trying not to get yourself killed are just- Mmm. Tasty.

[@stevelibby6852]

I forgot how good this movie was.

Lt. Dan is a fine story arch to follow because he teaches about redemption for the imperfect, which is all of us; we're all imperfect. We all get angry and say things in a mean spirit. If we can find the people who look past that, we can get out of the pits we place ourselves in to.

I can believe Forrest Gump is the reason Nixon had to resign!
