It's common in American politics to glorify past heriosms and deffer attention away from the most gruesome details of history. Forrest Gump is not the only media piece to try to reframe U.S. history. Can this practice in media possibly be as or more influential as this tendency in the political realm?
Forrest Gump not only follows the ideology of "family values" but it also systematically follows the pattern of Propp's analysis of a folktale. How might the strong adherence to the formulaic production of a folktale further the film's influence?
