Forrest Gump is bubble gum propaganda that entirely squeezed the nuance out of Vietnam, civil rights and the 80’s corporate take over of America.

It exploits the handi-capable genius savant trope and serves only to create a false expectation that ‘simple minded’ people are all olympic level runners just waiting to be discovered. Much like Rain Man mythicized autism.

Taxi Driver would not be easily confused as such.

This is a great question. Also 'Avatar' is in HFR. I'm pretty close to a bunch of theaters and the only one advertising HFR was IMAX so we went there. It was great.

But thanks to the reddit hive mind since learned pretty much most* dolby 3d screens will play HFR and it's great.

My understanding based on consensus is Dolby Cinema, IMAX, RealD.

Hope that helps!

*just call ahead and ask.
