Dostoevsky and Forrest Gump

Dostoevsky was epileptic and his son died at the age of six. Epilepsy is a big theme throughout the novels. I also thought of being there. Yep, Peter Sellers. Which is not entirely analogous because he really truly is simple,. that character and then has all sorts of just his effects on society. And then what about Forrest Gump? That's good to discuss whether he actually is an idiot.
