This was such a gut wrenching scene. Through the movie, Forest seems to take it in stride when he’s looked down on or bullied. He doesn’t seem very aware that he’s different, except for the rare occasion. But in this scene, all the trauma of being bullied and outcast for his condition floods back to him, and it’s evident he’s always been aware and sensitive to how the world treated him. He doesn’t want his son to have to go through the same hardships, so his first question is whether the kid is like him.

He’s a very special child. Claims he sees dead people.

“well, he left class saying he’s going to the store for a pack of cigarettes…”

Holy shit, this one got me! I’m dieing :))
