Wow, did we see the same movie? Not once did I feel the movie was moralistic or reactionary. Heck, one classic part of the film, where Gump is asked for his feelings on Vietnam, is intentionally left neutral. How did you feel the movie was trying to be moralistic? I have to say I never read the book, so I can't compare, although it's rare for a movie to come even close to being as good as the book.
