In any case, few movies are made solely to entertain. Sure there are a few, almost always action flicks, that are mainly just mindless violence. And the movies based off of some kind of derivative work (book, comic series, etc.) are directed mainly to garner a nostalgic appeal and so are more likely to advance the agenda of the original author, if any, rather than that of the director or script writers. But the majority of the remainder have a political message to impart, whether it be subtle or overt.

Avatar is a good, recent example: a clear case of anti-corporation, pro-environment rhetoric.

I believe the story makes a distinction between “stupidity” and “intellect”. Gump knows that he is not smart but he also knows that “Stupid is as stupid does.” He understands that it is stupid to be dishonest about himself and others; to lie, cheat, or steal; to ignore the individuality of himself and others. Gump seems to understand that character is more important to success in life than the cleverness of intellect. Lord knows, we Americans seem to be willing to let intellectuals without character run our government and our lives just because they can cleverly manage the political landscape.

Perhaps if I were more intellectual I could make a living as a university professor and see the subversive nature of this movie. But I would have lose my vision for the American character portrayed by Gump.

“movies are meant for entertainment purposes”

Some see them as an art form and more than just mere entertainment. Of course you could make the argument that art criticism is similarly pointless, but I believe to reflect upon a work by entertaining a variety of viewpoints from one’s peers allows the individual to draw his or her own conclusions.
You do no have to agree with the writer of this article, but getting angry over them is unnecessary. Use what you have read to further cement your own views, don’t see it as a pointless exercise.

Personally, I am inclined to agree that Gump is a subversive movie, but not in the sense that it promotes anti-intellectualism. Rather, I think it promotes blind patriotism and the value of religion over reason (which could I suppose be seen as derivatives of anti-intellectualism).

When all’s said, it’s a fun feature to watch, and it entertains, but it is an insult to the writer of the film to say that entertainment is its main end.
