The Curious Case of Forrest Gump
This "trailer" shows the extent to which TCOBB is the same as FG.
It's a little unfair because Button goes deeper. But Gump keeps a consistent humorous and ironic tone.
I read somewhere that Roth should have switched the feather/hummingbird symbols which completely makes sense. Benjamin just floats around without doing anything while Forrest has endless energy.
That said, Button's highs are so high that it still lands at my #2 of the year.
But, you haven't seen Rachel, Wrestler, Torino and others yet.....Gump is better, though. I'll comment on your BB review directly for that discussion, though.
