theres nothing significant to fill the movie out. itd be 911 and a bunch of college grads unable to get jobs. very little of interest has happened in the millenial time span.
Life in the 90's, 00's, and 10's weren't that exciting or interesting compared to the 50's, 60's, and 70's. It wouldn't be a good movie at all. At best there would be a decent story around 9/11 and the Iraq war, but that's it.
>Life in the 90's, 00's, and 10's weren't that exciting or interesting compared to the 50's, 60's, and 70's.
Don't lump the 90s in with the 00s and 10s
Bubba actually survives and is like hiding disguised as a bush, he's underwater in like scuba gear putting shrimp into pots, he gives jenny AIDS...he's involved in all of the main plot points

I could see this:
Grown up "Forest" telling story
You dont see him
First story is him as a kid seeing columbine on tv, say age 5
Intertwined is his parents going through a divorce
9/11 on tv, his parents are having "the last fight" before its over. As the first plane hits, a door slams. As the second plane hits a gunshot goes off in the bedroom.
More scenes from childhood over years, each focused on entertainment and a historical event, except Forest's part is not significant yet.
What is notable is that each event is sad, there is no happiness
Then high school, forest has more family trouble with financial crisis, mother is in one of the houses she couldn't afford, talking to someone about being tricked.
But then Obama is shown elected and he visits forest's town. Says something to him.
Its first positive moment of entire movie.
Anyways you get gist.
He hits college and becomes a troony and it revolves around your typical leftie shit as being universally good and righty shit as universally bad.
Ending is forrest reading his children's book, a version of his story, to kids at a library, while he is in drag.
Everyone is happy, he's got a tear in his eye talking about his mother (now passed)
Then in final seconds you see a door open, a silhouette of a person in a maga hat holding an ar-15.
Fade to black
Credits.
>Why is everyone so fricking cynical in this thread
just because somethign was a big deal on twitter doesnt mean it was actually a big historical footnote. other than 911 and the gfc theres very little that had as much cultural impact as the events in forest.
gulf war 1 and 2 werent derided the way vietnam was. no president has been killed, theres been no moon landing, coons have been allowed at school for a long time now, theres never been another beatlemania (altho the MSM is saying the swift hype might be as big), there have been no presedential resignations, and apple hitting a trillion dollars just isnt the same as when they "invented" the gui. sure, maybe the smart phone.
so we have 911, a bunch of poor college students post gfc, the iphone being created and taylor swift. thats a pretty shitty backdrop for cultural significance.
this was answered in the malcom in the middle thread yesterday; the modern era is simultaniously homogonised and fragmented. theres very little shared cultural impact anymore.
The millenial version? >no upward mobility in society >sign up for military >get fricked up in Afghanistan >get discharged >come home >live with parents >play video games
neurodivergient autismo based onions cringed redpilled blacked broken interdimension guy gets aids from banging bawd crush
too onions to produce little forest

He helps OJ escape, or sees him on his way to the house to murder. He meets Kurt Cobain, and Tupac. He meets Stone Cold Steve Austin. He escapes 9/11. Not sure what else he could do. The next version will be zoomer anyways, not millenial. I'm not sure what that will be about either, but it'll be a series of one minute tiktoks.
Instead of some story of triumph of the little man against all odds in a trans-american setting it will be some genderqueer loser mutt becoming tiktok famous off of one little video and travelling the world. Military service will be replaced with homosexualry, running replaced with tiktok vids, and jenny will still be some aids riddled moron.
I can only think of mostly negative things Forrest inadvertently does, not mostly positive like the original.

>I can only think of mostly negative things Forrest inadvertently does
Forrest mirrors a generation that got to see the US go to the moon and win the cold war
A Forrest born in 1985 would start with sweet Nickelodeon cartoons and skateboarding then go from columbine to 9/11 to unending middle eastern quagmires and several straight economic crashes. Itd be depressing as frick to watch a 30 year national biopic where the high point is the release of the nintendo wii

I just posted the final act, i.e. the last 3 years

sounds like fun tbh

Don't lump the 90s in with the 00s and 10s
where's the lie? what was so significant in the 90s that makes it more interesting than the 00s and 10s besides you being a child during it?
Pogs.

Why do both zoomers and boomers seethe about millenials?
zoomers hate millennials because they don't know how to google or acquire knowledge so they don't know their parents are gen x

This reads more like an edgy Mr.Bean movie.
