In the movie, Elvis stayed overnight with the Gumps, teaching the boy to dance.

IIRC, Gump taught Elvis to dance...

One of my all time favorite movies. Sounds like a good kid, too.

Nice story. I love that movie. It always, always makes me cry.

“No doubt that being a soldier is something that you have to do. You have to force it,” Humphreys said. “No human is designed to do certain things. You have to make yourself be that person, it’s an engineered effect. The same thing as acting.”

As retired Army, I can say that there’s a lot of truth to that statement. But, we ALL “act” in our different roles in life. You don’t act like a “Mom” with your employees at work and I TRY not to bark orders at home.

(The latter doesn’t always work for me, LOL!)

"There was definitely a lot of violence"

NS Sherlock. It's a WAR Forrest. WTF did you expect? Believe it or not, the real world does not mimic Hollywierd.
