The World According to Garp Movie Summary
THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP begins with a young nurse, Jenny Fields, introducing her parents to her new born son, T. S. Garp. Jenny calmly, yet very graphically, describes how she had herself impregnated by a dying soldier while serving as a nurse during World War II.
Jenny, who always wanted a child without the burden of dealing with its father, details how the soldier, a technical sergeant who could only say his last name, Garp, had a constant erection due to priapism. Shortly before his death, Jenny decided to remove her undies, mount the brain dead ball turret gunner, and use his sperm complete her mission. It must have been a direct hit, or else this movie never would have happened.
Jenny begins working at an all-boys prep school. She has her hands full raising Garp, who is forever curious about the fighter pilot father he’ll never know. Garp pursues amateur wrestling because he sees wrestlers wear head gear similar to a pilot’s helmet. Garp, when not trying to be his father, spends time playing with two sisters, Cushie and Pooh Percy. Cushie, the slut of the duo, teaches Garp about “lust,” while, Pooh, who could be described as pure evil, teaches Garp what it’s like to be viciously attacked by their family dog.
