My first thought was that this movie is completely stupid at first sight but as the story progressed I realized how intelligent that guy is actually and that the people calling him stupid are the one being stupid. He has a simplistic view of reality that helps him get through life and no matter what happen he keeps going, not even realizing how hard life is for people around him while he just go do his thing.
What's striking to me is his perseverance, which I think is related to that kind of intelligence which appear as a simple minded attitude. The guy just don't over think everything like most people do and he sees what really matters.
My thought on reading that was that it could be you executing goal 72: "Be considerate of those of lesser intellectual ability and capacity." - something which you thought you were resisting in a previous post.
