Jul. 29th, 2013 09:42 amSo Cracked did an article on 6 Horrible Aftermaths Implied by Movies With Happy Endings. And one of them is about Forrest Gump, and how he devastated that Bayou La Batre community- his boat was the only shrimping boat that survived, so with no competition, Forrest scoops up a monopoly on shrimping. After all, most shrimpers in that area aren't rich, everything they have is tied up in their boats. So its not like they can get a new boat and get back to shrimping right quick, they have to wait on insurance, and by the time that comes through, if ever, Forrest controls the market.
But, they showed that Forrest had a whole fleet of boats. I doubt he'd just come in with these boats, staffed by a bunch of outsiders, I'm sure he'd hire those other shrimpers. Sure, now they work for Forrest, but they wouldn't be out of jobs.
TV commentary:
True Blood- Okay, I'm totally confused by the timeline. ( spoiler cut )
