| Forrest as a male christian name is unique to ex-Confederate states. It's the name of a Confederate general. Not sure why the screenwriters gave him that name. It's a long film but I suppose the central premise is that he was conscripted for combat despite having a "low" IQ which should ha... |

| Tex-Ass was a slave state in 1865. They treat women like slaves in 2024.
