[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't it a modern day Candide? Candide was written in 1759 by Voltaire.[/quote] It has elements of that: the simple fool, full of optimism while going through the horrors of the world. But Candide is satire, a rebuke of blind optimism. And that seems to be what’s missing from Forrest Gump. It’s a modern take on an old literary tradition but without the bite. Candide turned into feel-good Hollywood pablum.[/quote]
