It is horrible. He runs for three years... what does he eat? Where does he sleep? How is it his feet don't fall apart? What about his shoes?
The base idea that anyone could do all those things, much less a retarded person, is just silly. Sorry Petey, but that movie made little to no sense at pretty much every turn.

And lasers shooting out of your eyes, teleportation and having fire/ice/whatever shoot out of your hands does make sense?
I get that there has to be A LOT of suspension of disbelieve, but that doesn't automatically disqualify a movie. Oh, wait, time to feed the zombies in my back yard. be right back.

Does it hurt when straightened or bent Stryph? Also take ibuprofen to decrease any inflammation in the knee itself. Ice it, elevate and rest.

Nah it doesn't hurt. It's just noticeable. Feels tight, that if I do bend or straiten to much something will pop out. I do need to find some ibprofine but not sure if I have any and there's no swelling noticeable.
The inflammation can be inside the joint, there may be no visible swelling. Elevate, ice and ibuprofen for a few days.
Petey, if it's a sci-fi movie that's one thing. But that was a movie supposedly grounded more in reality and it made no sense. Also I found gump to be more annoying than endearing at any point.

So if they had started the movie saying "this is a work of fantasy", you would have been happier? Sorry to sound grumpy but to dismiss something that appears to be real but is fantasy because it was too real, and not fantasy enough doesn't make any logical sense. (Hmmm. that could use some editing.) And I fail to see where you could possibly get the idea that this movie was grounded in reality. It takes after the tradition of Lewis Caroll, Brother Grimm, etc.
Ok, that's my last on this point except to say when I was taking film-making classes I had a teacher from France. He showed us a movie about method acting which was nothing more than a woman smoking and "pleasuring" herself. The whole move was shot from the shoulders up and lasted about 15 minutes. At the end of the movie he asked was this a movie about acting, or was it softcore pornography. Basically, was she acting or really making love to herself. After we discussed this for 20 minutes or so, he told us his point of view. It didn't matter. It only mattered to the actress and director what we thought was going on, not what was actually going on. It is all about the "magic" of movies that, in his view, everything on screen is a fantasy with varying degrees of believability.

Was yours related to a lot of low-sticking, too?
I've had my left one dislocated on a number of times, sprained the right... twisted'em and the ankles...
All because some people can't play fair and honest. :/
Are you at the point where you start wondering if you should just add freakin' escalators or elevators to your home yet? They should seriously make that stuff cheaper..

I was never much of a finesse player. Mostly mucking the boards and crashing the net. At one point I had a coach that forced me to learn how to skate. Skating better meant running into things a lot harder. The knees got abused by the boards, the goal posts, and other players.
Knees are pretty much ok now as long as I'm nice to them. The occasions when my back goes out (fortunately infrequent), do make me wish for an elevator up to the house though
The point to much of the movie, is life as recalled by someone who had, ah how to phrase this, mental difficulties.
OBVIOUSLY many of the things did NOT happen as he recalls them, it was the tale that was to entertain, not the events themselves.
That said I hated the movie, for much the same reason, it made no sense.
