Only to the untrained eye.

The distortion of forrest"s face and environment depicts how the world views him and how he views himself.

The can of peas and carrots represent the finding of friendship in this frightening, twisted existence, helping him to carr on with his life.

I don't mean any disrespect, but if you are not totally BSing me, I do not think this message is clear enough.

What is the significance of the background image?

It's okay. The message not being clear is understood, as it is abstract, and was mostly for myslef and a few friends IRL.

I only retorted to the random stuff comment to try and explain how it wasn't random to me, though it may appear so to you.

By the background, I assume you mean the 4-up collage of Forrest dancing to Elvis's guitar playing..

In one of the squares, his face is prominent, but his eyes and mouth have been obscured by brush strokes to the point where he looks inhuman and appears to be incapable of speech or sight (lacking communication abilities and conventional human wisdom).

This shows how people in his community view and treat him (as an inhuman monster, like Frankenstein's monster) and how many normal people today view handicaps - especially the mentally challenged).

This speak-no-evil and see-no-evil distortion/mutilation also portrays Forrest's inability to express his confusion and pain from his ostracizing. Though he lacks communication skills, he does think and feel, as demonstrated by his interpretive dance moves.

The other 3 squares are connected physically (the brush stokes overlap, blend and connect certain squares at times) and conceptually, as they demonstrate his magic-leg-dancing attempt at moshing to the percussion of the "normal" world's expectations of him. Although his mechanical braces look heavy and clunky in normal view, here in his muddy and modeled vision we see how, to him, they float and flow like oil on water. All the sharp edges and stigmas melt away into an effortless footloose-ness as he wriggles and writhes his way through a first foray into jubilation.

All 4 background squares represent his difficulty and pain, and how he tries to cope on his own.

The foreground represents his rapture and joy in finding rare and true friends who love him for who he is.
