Being constantly sexually abused by her father, Jenny is damaged. Some people hate Jenny,but she is the same Jenny that treated Forrest with love,respect and gentleness. It's just that she's only learned that love causes pain.

P.S. what Forrest says when the mics cut out is: Sometimes, when people go to Vietnam, they go home to their mommas without any legs, and sometimes they don't go home at all. And that's a bad thing.

A great movie to pick. I’d hate how some ppl tend to think this movie is conservative with its admittedly simple retelling of American history and that Jenny is so annoying. 1. The movie from one video analysis is actually a retelling of the American myth is as the years go on by. Forrest IS America’s spirit. Forrest sees desegregation, the effects of Vietnam, the presidents from 1960-1980s, Beatles, drugs, entrepreneurship, the effects of space travel, and even the running craze of the 70s-80s. I all of these things Americans lived through, trying to find meaning or just being swept by the culture. 2. Jenny was abused and as Forrest out “sometimes there jsut ain’t enough rocks.” Jenny had issues, and the story refuses to simply say “oh poor her. Look at what was done to her.” As we are living in Forrest’s perspective, we can’t ever get a full picture. If you want another heartwarming story that does tell history with memorable characters, plz watch the free KZread series: History if the Seattle mariners .

Dan apologize after pulling Forrest to the floor to yell in his face in the hospital, insulting him, and treating him like garbage for some time? He and Forrest made up along the way and worked together in the end. Yet Lt.

Datebirth Jenny (on stone) 16.07.1945. This is a date first nuclear test in Alamogordo. I think, Robert Zemekis simbholized her "explosion" character.
It's nice to see a reactor actually understand Jenny instead of bashing her, which is the popular hot take. The thing about Jenny that is easy to miss if you're not familiar with sexual trauma and its effects on a person, is that her literal personality bedrock was shaped from childhood to believe she was damaged and less than, only deserving of abuse. She didn't feel good enough for Forrest, she didn't feel like she deserved true happiness. That's part of what creates the repeat abusers cycle and the horrible self-care with drugs and risky sex, etc.

Doesn't excuse her from robbing both males in her life of having a relationship for years. She was right about herself. If it's even his child at all, we just have the word of a promiscuous junkie with a clear incentive to lie.
Never thought about but this would be a good movie to show in school. A pretty good history of US history post WWII. Good story of redemption and unconditional love.
“This boy and his shrimp. He is not playing!” 🤣🤣🤣 Bubba is my favorite character from this awesome movie. He’s just the BEST. ❤ I have the double disk cd of the music from this film. Really great soundtrack.

When Lt. Dan caught up with Forrest in New York, there’s the scene of them crossing the street. You missed that one. It’s a not so subtle nod to Ratso Rizzo in Midnight Cowboy… ANOTHER movie you should see. BTW: that line “hey, I’m walking here!” wasn’t a line in the Midnight Cowboy script. That was Dustin Hoffman actually mad. They didn’t have the budget to shut down a Manhattan street so there were real cabbies coming and going. That was a pissed off Hoffman. 😄 They left it in the movie.
Jenny didnt want Forrest to be her BOYFRIEND. That doesnt mean she didnt care about him. She knew she was troubled bc of her bad, abusive childhood. She didnt want to involve Forrest in her messed up life. Also. Forrest was mentally slow. Its ok for a person of "normal" intelligence to not want to be in a romantic relationship with someone who has the mentality of a child. She always loved him. That doesnt mean they were supposed to be together as a couple... and i always find it so weird when people are nasty about Jenny and say "why didnt she get with Forrest shes so mean!" Completely ignoring or missing the fact that she has low self esteem. Ptsd from childhood abuse, no plan in life, and she KNOWS that. She protected Forrest FROM her, bc she knew she shouldnt be around him til she got her life together. Also, no, ot wouldnt be better if Lt. Dan died, he just had some stuff to work through.

Forrest's Vietnam speech: “Sometimes when people go to Vietnam, they go home to their mommas without any legs. Sometimes they don’t go home at all. That’s a bad thing. That’s all I have to say about that.” It was a very cold day when they filmed in Washington DC. Probably even colder for Robin Wright (Jenny) and Tom Hanks for having to run through the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool for their reunion moment.
That story where Forest breaks out of the braces is the story of Wilma Rudolph. She had polio as a child and won the Olympic Gold Medal in the 100-yard dash in 1960.

Young people are taught American history but it seems like later generations don't retain much information.
I think Jenny loved Forrest all along,he was her safety haven from childhood. Well,whenever she didnt have to try and protect him from the bullies. But she was abused from childhood, and that often creates alot of trauma and people act differently on it. Some tends to involve themselfs with people they know have a bad impact on them. Kind of like some people admit theyr obsession with food abuse,they know its not healty but they need help to stop it. Any addiction basically. It has alot of similarities. But another effect is that people abused becomes terrified, develop anxiethy and depression or worse. And it takes them years to trust someone again. At first my mom criticized Robin Wright Penn (married to Sean Penn when this released) for her role,but then she regret it all as she understood that people are different and will deal with a history of abuse differently. Mom was abused by 2 men in her short short life, so she was easily critical of movies where abused women "took on the abuse too lightly or if they were too strange from her own experience". She admitted that she was judging Robins acting skills here abit too fast. It could have been many reasons as to why Jenny kept running away. 1 reason i often think of is that Forrests home was close to her own childhood home,wich brought too many bad memories back for her. But i do understand why people get upset with her at first,its not easy to understand how she is feeling and thinking. Many people i have recommended this movie too says the same thing: I hate that they called Forrest stupid! I agree,he is far from stupid. But like his mom said,he is abit on the slow side,it takes abit more time for him to realize stuff. As a grown ass man,this movie does destroy me emotionally! But I also get some good laughs from it. Especially the deepfakes before deepfake was even a thing. This movie was way ahead of its time. Today everyone can get deepfake apps on theyr cellphones. But i do wish that Jenny settled with Forrest much sooner,that most likely would have saved her life. What baffled me is that she most likely died to HIV,but had a baby with Forrest. She must have gotten it afterwards? Even after giving birth? I dont know there 🤔Still one amazing movie though!

Sinese, who played Sergeant Dan, was so inspired by his role as a Vietnam veteran that he made it his lifelong mission to help various veterans organizations. Because of his contributions, he has been awarded with many accolades from the various military services and organizations.
I often think of what a "Forrest Gump 2" would look like. I would like it to be the same kind of movie as the first, but follow Jenny through her life. We would see a life full of pain and abuse, her only friend being the local simpleton Forrest Gump, who clearly has a crush on her, but she doesn't feel that way about him. It'd be a film about her coming to terms with her childhood abuse, eventually learning to love herself, before finally being with the man who has loved her since the beginning.
This movie always makes me cry.😭
One of my absolute favorite movies. I'm so happy you understood why Jenny did the things she did ❤ The majority of people reacting to this movie don't and are very mean towards her. You wondered why she didn't tell him about their son, though, and that's because he was out running for 3 years. They had no cellphones back then so she obviously couldn't reach him.

Hearing you tell your story in the beginning and saying every time you looked he was running, then seeing you smile and cheer when Forrest started running, was the best. It's funny to think that all these years later you have your answer to why he was always running. I always need to point out because most don't realize that Jenny was still abused after she went to her Grandma's. That's why she still went to Forrest's house at night.

What I love about this movie is how everyone around Forrest is surving tremendous trauma but since he thinks in such a sequential way, it doesn't really affect how he views them. His life story is incredible, but underneath it all, his mother was a single mom in the 50s raising a neuro divergent son, Bubba was a poor, black neuro divergent man who grew up in the deep south during segregation, Lieutenant Dan was dealing with the trauma of being an amputee and questioning his faith in God, and Jenny was a victim of such horrible abuse that she self sabotaged because she felt she didn't deserve to be happy. Those personal details would shape our perception of these people, but Forrest didn't see it that way. All Forrest saw was that they were good people who needed and deserved his love. It's a simple concept that we all could learn from.
Thanks JAYY Forest was a beautiful film. I wish they’d do more like it.
Mama Gump was gettin' that work!! ❤❤❤ The guy from the school was in the early seasons of Perfect Strangers and was Bernard in the abc show LOST.
The movie was released when I was 22, but apart from one or two clips I never watched it until last year. It was a lot more serious than I expected, and it made me cry just like it did for you. My parents got the soundtrack, a 2 CD set, when it was new, and I agree that it is excellent, though the Jackson Browne song (Running on Empty) is conspicuously missing. Though it isn't my favorite film, it is among the best made ones that I have ever watched. The special effects with the historical footage into which the main character is inserted still impress me, which is especially remarkable now that the film's debut is nearly 30 years old. Loved your reaction. I hope your channel grows significantly and brings you great success.

I remember seeing this with my mom when it came out in theaters. She taught first grade for over forty years. She bawled twice. Once was when little Jenny prayed to be a bird to fly away from her abusive father. The second , and this is where she went to pieces, is when Forest asked if his son was smart. Mom always requested to work with the “slow” kids and she LOVED it. The little daily victories with those kids kept her going. She loved her work and she loved her students. She felt it when Forest was afraid his son would be “slow” too. I looked over at her and asked if she was ok and she said, “I just want to give him a hug!”

Actor Gary Sinise still performs in Lt. Dan Band raising money for disabled veterans.
Maybe it's the crowd cheering, or the symbolism or I don't know what, but I choke up everytime Jenny and Forest embrace in the Lincoln memorial pool.
I can completely relate to being in "substitute teacher" mode. Back in school, if I walked into class and saw a substitute teacher, that meant "party time". I would NEVER want to be employed as a sub. You're not going to get much done because you're basically just there to stare at a room full of unruly kids.😂
What a wonderful review! Your editing was on point too. You are one of the few reactors that had sympathy for Jenny. I think she just didn't think she was good enough for Forrest. I loved the soundtrack too. Others don't mention it. Now you know why this is my favorite movie. My husband and I quote it a lot. "But you ain't got no legs Lt. Dan". 😅 Editing to add: My son has autism and says he can relate to Forrest a lot. I wonder.....
53:25 im so disgusted by the fact my cousin even told to me. His older brother doesn't need married or having kids because he have autism. Im so sad at this scene, everybody have right to be loved. And loving somebody.. sorry for my English
I know Jenny was very psychologically damaged due to her father’s abuse, loser boyfriend abuse, drug abuse, and everything else she suffered. I just don’t think it’s fair to ask for Forest’s hand in marriage now that she’s sick with no hope of getting better, potentially at death’s door. It’s cool that she was able to get cleaned up, and take care of herself and her son, but Forest won’t even get a chance to build a life with them, as a family. It would’ve been great if they could’ve gotten married the first time he asked. They would’ve at least had more time together as a family.
Here's a historical error. When Jenny is snorting coke in Studio 54, the song "Get Down Tonight" by KC and the Sunshine Band is playing. This song was released in 1975. But Hurricane Carmen happened in 1974.

Gentle Reminder that Jenny suffered from childhood onset ptsd due to sexual abuse. She's running until the very end of the movie bc that's all she knows how to do. It's her flight, fight or freeze instinct being triggered by trauma over and over again. For anyone reading this who thinks or worries about a loved ones behavior, pls consider trauma can be the cause and that trauma can be unknown to you no matter how close you are to someone. It's not a matter of trust- our brains try to block traumatic memories which is why therapy is so important. It's also why some people aren't fully aware of their trauma until starting therapy

Tom Hanks #1 movie of his entire career aside from the green mile
One of my favourite movies and I believe I've watched it about a dozen times including with you. Jayy, you did an excellent job with understanding the concepts, especially regarding Jenny. So many historical events into one movie. No wonder it won so many awards. Tom Hanks, in my top 5 favourite actors. My other favourites of his are, Philadelphia Castaway Captain Phillips Sully I have all the above on DVD
My favorite movie that Tom Hanks is in is Cast Away(2000). But I also like You've got mail!(1998), Captain Phillips(2013) and Sully(2016). These last two were based on true stories.
I just about cried my eyes out when I saw this for the first time at 15 (Saw it when it was released on vhs) and I noticed the bruises on little Jenny's arms. 😭😭😭
Loved your honest and enthusiastic reaction. So glad you gave this movie a chance. Appreciate you!❤
The older blonde girl on the school bus in the red and white dress is Tom's daughter Elizabeth. Tom based Forrest's speech on the kid who played him as a kid. There was going to be a sequel where Forrest was raising his son who contracted aids from Jenny and he was going to meet Princess Diana and be near the Oklahoma bombing and other 90's events but the script shower up either the before or after 9/11 and Tom and the director decided the movie had no meaning anymore so decided not to make it.
Forrest Gump used to be my favorite movie for the longest time. Until I found out about Tom Hanks. For the reason he became a Greek citizen. Where it's a disease not a crime to violate certain little people.
The outspoken Black Panther, was played by Samuel L. Jackson before his star began to rise.

Sam Jackson had already appeared in Jurassic Park by the release of Forrest.
Jenny‘s behavior throughout her life is a direct result of her being molested as a child. It is not unusual for victims of child molestation to wind up as drug addicts, prone to suicide and have low self-esteem. Jenny did not believe she was good enough for Forrest because he was so sweet and she was damaged goods. For many years people would blame the victim for what happened to them rather than blaming and punishing the pedophile so the victim lives their entire life thinking that it was their fault they were molested.
Great movie it was sad and funny
When Jenny tells Forrest that he didn't know what love was, the irony is that it's Jenny who doesn't know what love is and only realized she loved Forrest as more than a friend when she was dying. She married Forrest, I believe, because he had always wanted to marry her. She knew he would be the most loving father to their son because he had always been so good to her. While he suffered losses, Jenny ultimately gave him the ultimate gift--a child born of their love (and a child who would never be abused as she was and would receive the parental love she never had known).
It is totally proper that Jenny joined her fellow Berkley students at an organized peace rally in Washington.
Subscribed just on this video, you are such a sweet person. I will star checking your channel out, but it's so nice to see someone understanding and kind in these reaction niche.
Yes! Fantastic movie! I’ve watched this tons of times- so excited to watch with ya’ Jayy! It’s soooo good! Let’s watch!! 😃💝✨
Great reaction. I loved watching this movie with you. This was my mother's favorite and our was very cool seeing your honest reaction. Thank you
She keeps running from him, she's was running from love, I've had plenty of women run from me, the more genuine and loving I was the more each one didn't want to talk to me, but I've learned my lessons.
Much love to you sweet lady ! Peace+
She didn't keep little Forrest away. He was running for years.
Great reaction. I love your laugh!!
Jenny is played by Robin Wright, Buttercup in PRINCESS BRIDE.
can i recommend tucker and dale vs evil, its a great flick. i think you will enjoy it.
Love this movie (also this is the first video i've watched of yours and you are very sweet and a beautiful soul) I will have to watch more from you :)
This soundtrack was second to none. All the songs were from the right time frame and always seemed to fit the scenes they were used in.
I love love love that you showed genuine emotions! I was right there with you!
If no one said, the Bubba Gump food place was named after the stuff in this movie. I always felt jenny pushed Forrest away because she didn't want to ruin his life with he bad stuff in her life. Tom Hanks started as a stand up comedian. He was in a bad tv series called Bosom Buddies before he became a star. I think his first two movies were Splash and Bachelor Party. His first few movies were mostly comedies. Then he did a few sappy but good love stories and was pretty famous but then he took it to the next level.
18:08 I’ve seen this movie so many times and I never thought to ask what he got a degree in; now I want to know. 😅😅😅

Actually going to a Bubba Gump Shrimp is on my bucket list. (And random note, Lt Dan said "Danger Close" on the airstrike. That means go ahead and drop it on top of me. Target is already on top of me. So aim well if you can, and if you can't I'm ready to accept whatever happens.)
Really, thank you for reacting to one of my all-time favorite movies. You have my like, and my subscribe. Thank you Jayy.....
you must also watch Tom Hanks in "Big" if you haven't seen it. It's a great movie!
Hi JAAY, Long time no see on party nites but glad you're reviewing film. You always produce consistent high quality professional effort. Catch ya. Thomas
You are watching the cut version. At the the monument, he said ”In Vietnam, my best friend died”. I cannot fathom why they cut that scene in this edit.
Love this movie :)
Heartfelt reaction to one of my favorite movies
Never forget Jenny was the villain
My favorite movie of all time, hands down!!! 😊
