Who played the best "mentally handicapped" role?

[AgentSmecker]

JGL gave a really solid performance in one of his earlier movies.. The Lookout, as a guy suffering mental health and behavioural issues after suffering severe head trauma and you know why he was so convincing... he followed the golden rule and never went full retard.

 

[cobrinski]

Jeremy Davis in "The million dollar hotel",and Sam Rockwell in "The green mile"(not mentally h.,but full psycho)

Shit list, where is simple jack?

 

[Garnett Silk]

A) Sean Penn as Sam in "I Am Sam"
B) Tom Hanks as Forrest in "Forrest Gump"
C) Leonardo DiCaprio as Arnie in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape"

Not to stir a debate (ok if it does then it does) Would you consider Forrest Gump mentally handicapped or just painfully naive? He was able to lead a productive and independent life, meet historical figures, have an impact on history, AND become a self made millionaire....not exactly characteristics of someone I would consider mentally handicapped. Now if you wanna call him simple and naive I'd agree.... mentally handicapped? Hmmmm his adventures and survival skills defunk that.

Yeah, I think Forrest had enough common sense and rationale to fend for himself. He may not have had a high IQ, but he didn't come across as mentally retarded. They put him in combat in Vietnam and gave him a M14 rifle - I don't think they do that for mentally retarded people.

Yeah I don't think he was as slow as he was naive.... football scholarship, got some pu**y, changed history, and knew the difference between right and wrong...not to mention he became a self made millionaire....that's doing OK in my book

Reagan is regarded as the best president ever on all accounts. Obama is the worst in all truth telling circles.
