What critics compared Stronger to
Audiences were amazed when Gary Sinise's character in "Forrest Gump" appeared to have no lower legs, and the same is true for Jake Gyllenhaal's character in "Stronger".
“Lt Dan,” he scribbles on a sheet of paper from his hospital bed, a reference to the double-amputee “Forrest Gump” character.
The reference is to the double amputee played by Gary Sinise in Forrest Gump.
When he awakens in the hospital, he shows evidence of a gallows humor, remarking on his resemblance to Forrest Gump ’s Lieutenant Dan.
Then a girl he knows walks in, and he stares at her like Sean Penn’s character in I Am Sam staring at his daughter, like nobody’s ever loved more purely.
