I think that would be a pretty good movie. No Forrest growing up and weaving himself into the tapestry of the American experience from the fifties through Vietnam into the eighties and nineties, no emotional gewgaws with his mother and Jenny, just a slow-witted guy fixing bicycles for two hours.

Do you think this would be a good movie?
 
To be a great movie, it still needs a big finish. Maybe at the end, the bike is finally fixed and somebody can yell pedal Forest pedal.
 
It would have to be better that the Tom Hanks film. Sorry, but personally I couldn't stand that movie. I know I'm in a minority there.

not enough information. what specifically didn't you like about the movie? enquiring minds want to know.

there is the complete myth that an idiot could accidentally stumble his way to success and get the girl (albeit with AIDS). But besides that?

Did you leave the theater thinking "that really would have been improved if it took place entirely in a bicycle shop with him fixing bicycles" like I did?

I came out thinking, that would have been a better movie if it was a lot shorter and didn't try so hard to be clever. I had some ideological problems with the film, but mostly it was just trying too hard.

You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, bicycle -kabobs, bicycle creole, bicycle gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried.

Forest Gump: A Star Wars Story.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away a youngling with a slow wit and poor gait defied the odds to become the most powerful StarBike technician in the outer rim.

When his lifelong best girl, Princess Jen-nae and his faithful friend Bubba Wan are captured and taken prisoner by the Empire and Dark Lord "Darth Greenbow", he must summon The Force in order to rescue and pedal them to the safety of the secret Rebel base.

A charismatic yet dubious Galactic Pedi-Cab pilot known as LT. Dan, seizes the opportunity to evade the bounty on his head by smuggling Forest aboard the Imperial Destroyer where his friends are trapped in a Geomatter cargo hold without enough rocks to throw at the containment system controls that could lead them to freedom.

Armed only with a single flower and box of chocolates, young Gump must face and destroy Darth Greenbow in order to save Jen-nae and Bubba Wan from certain doom.

Watch as this unlikely duo face massive Solar Storms, Steep hills, and tire-shredding terrain on their way to the Imperial stronghold.

Special appearances by Academy Award winners Sally Field and Jodie Foster.

In theaters this Summer.
 
If you shot it in black and white, had a lone violin playing the soundtrack and background music, and there was absolutely no talking or eye contact between any characters it would be a giant hit like the rest of the steaming garbage pile of movies we have here....mostly from some sort of heavy handed "It's ART, GET IT" studio/director in France.
