the movie was, more or less, a parade of modern history following a single character (the conservative in the movie... low IQ of course) and the effects of that life on those he interacts with.

I bet he gets constantly ask to say “My names Private Gump, people call me Private Gump” 1000 times a day to the point he probably regrets doing the movie.

Good for this young man.
