The 1994 movie Forrest Gump was based on a novel by Winson Groom. The character of Gump was inspired by a real man named Samuel Davis. Inspired is the key word. It could and does mean this particular person inspired Groom to write a fictional book. The book is regarded as fiction. Parts of the movie included real footage with special effects adding Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) into the event.

None of the scenes in the movie Forrest Gump was actually filmed in Vietnam. In fact, none of the movie was filmed outside the U.S. The Viet Nam scenes were filmed on Fripp Island, South Carolina.
Forrest Gump is the metaphor. The protagonist is hindsight a new view of the world If we could have a do over. The antagonist is group think and the limitations of living inauthentically, Birches by Robert Frost springs to mind.
