I just recently came across the movie, The World According to Garp (1982). I really liked it. It felt like an similar, kind of inverse story to Forest Gump (1994). I have seen Forest Gump many times and I consider it a good story and a decent pleasant movie. Both movies are about a boy's extraordinary journey into old age, centered around a missing father dynamic. While Garp is very bright, Forest is more simple. I really enjoyed Garp's story better once I saw the movie. I also love Robin Williams. Sorry Tom. Have you seen these movies. Do you see a connection. Which one did you prefer?
