Yeah, Forrest Gump has just about everything. It's well-written, well-acted, well-photographed... everything about it is excellent and entertaining. One of the best movies of all time. I love it. -Jeffrey
Forrest Gump = The best movie I have ever seen... I want the soundtrack and THERES A BOOK!??!?! *goes to search for it* Holly
That's not it at all. It's saying that as long as you're a good person (good morals, polite, loving etc.) then you can succeed. I think Forrest becoming friends with Bubba in the first place shows just how uneffect he is by race- another good quality. Bubba dying is just another plot element, not a statement of a black man's low social standing.
