Jenny's problem is how she was used and abused, 1st by her father, then by every man she met except Forrest. She felt like she was worth nothing and was never going to be worth anything and would just bring Forrest down with her , she had no idea how to love anyone. It wasn't until she had little Forrest and was give one pure good thing in her life she was able to find her self worth to a point and then accepted that she loved Forrest and always had and it was OK to love someone and not expect them to hurt her. It is very complicated and you get snippets of it in every scene she is in. The first thing you see is all she knows how to do is run from anything as she keeps telling Forrest to do , she doesn't know any other way to deal with the pain and bad and it takes her so long to finally figure it out ( unfortunately this is true for too many and some never get to figure anything out) , Jenny deserves pity not hate , she didn't know how to love until it was too late but she gave Forrest 2 gifts before she left, true love and what it feels like , and someone to love and give his life meaning in Forrest Jr. . Forrest might not be a genius but I would lay any bet he is an incredibly loving and good father.

Hey Hingle, I agree with you 100 percent. I wonder if the final product of this movie exceeded the expectations that the cast/crew had when they shot the film. I feel like they might have known this movie was going to be something special! Whenever I watch Forrest Gump, my experience with the movie is that it is SO engaging and well-acted that it feels like it is a quick watch even though the movie is almost 2 1/2 hours long. I just find it to be very inspirational, and it has moments that I think most people can relate to on an emotional level. Also, my brother has Autism, which makes me connect with the movie even more (I know Forrest did not have Autism, but him and my brother can relate a bit in that they are both disabled). Back in February this year, I actually posted a video on my channel that is almost like a tribute video to Forrest Gump (though I called it a Mashup). You see, there's a band named Family Of The Year, and they used their hit song "Hero" for Richard Linklater's 2014 movie called Boyhood. For my video, I used "Hero" as background music while showing various scenes from Forrest Gump. Aside from matching song lyrics with movie scenes, my intention with the video was to try and create something unique. If you have a few minutes sometime and are interested, here is a link to that video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gaZh1auifqS0ico.html If you don't check it out, no worries at all! I won't be offended! But thank you so much in advance if you do see it! Have a great day, and stay safe! P.S.- I really dig your username! "Hingle McCringleberry". Awesome! :)

In the part where he's talking at the monument and the dude shuts off his mic but Forest keeps talking, when he comes back on we hear the end "And that's all I have to say, about that.." which is what he usually ends a story with if he's talking about someone who has died. And knowing Forest, taking about Vietnam, he probably talked about meeting Bubba and how he died by that river in his arms. Which is unintentionally a really good antiwar story. The recurring theme of just stripping everything away and just seeing the simplicity of it. He went, he made a friend, his friend died. He went, met Lt. Dan, Dan lost his legs but he remains Dan Taylor. All of the little stories through the whole movie are just reality as seen by someone unburdened with the baggage society places on us.

I don't think Forest's message was as simple as an "anti-war message." I am a retired soldier in my country, I know what it is to serve, what it is to live a war and what is there when returning from that place. Believe me, what we soldiers see, think or feel and what the Protestants see, think or feel are different. Most of us when we see people protesting war issues…all we see is people in masks, hypocrites who claim to be on your side and then are talking about you behind your back portraying you as a fool or a butcher. Protestants are the same as politicians, they have an agenda to direct the destiny of others from the comfort of their sofas, they all want is to use you or propagandize your circumstances in exchange for personal gain. Forest's message was probably something more along the lines of "a lot of the best people I've known fought in Vietnam, some came back some didn't but their memories will always be with me wherever I go and all I ask all of you is respect them, they were already used in life for the good of one or the other, do not use them also after death.

“After that shrimp’in was easy”. I’m sitting here thinking yup because god eliminated the competition. 😆

The feather really did go with the theme of the movie. Forrest questioned the nature of life, and if LT. Dan or his mother got it right. In the end, he concludes that both were correct.

My favorite scene will always be Lt Dan thanking Forrest and “making his peace with God”. He finally came to terms and accepted the life he is living. The fact that he lost his legs. The fact that he didn’t die his “glory” death on the battlefield. He finally thanked Forrest for saving him, TWICE. First in Vietnam and the second time with his depression and helping him get back to living. He is finally happy and at peace with his life, his past, and with himself. Truly the most beautiful scene, seeing a man finally accept his happiness and his life because his fellow brother-in-arm didn’t abandon him.

Forrest Gump won the Oscar for best film and the other nods were great, like Shawshank. But through the years, each watch has given me further reason to say that they rewarded the right movie. I think if this film was released in any other year, it would win. That's how timeless it is.

Drill Sergeant are supposed to break you down until you're completely empty inside and ready to be filled with the knowledge you need to survive in the war. The fact that Forrest is fitting in there like "one of them round pegs" is amazing. He has to meet someone who is supposed to shit on him as a job but he gets recognition instead hhahahaa.

THE most favorite and emotional scene is when forest was talking bout all the places he was when he was at Vietnam and running the shrimp boat and running across country and Jenny said "I wish I could be there with you" and forest said "you were" the best way to let the person know you care so much and you love them for all time

The scene where he asks if his son is smart gets me every time!

My father was a history teacher and his read was that Forrest (and his friends) was the entire Boomer generation of The US embodied in a (cast of) character(s). Strong, good hearted, not too bright, still phenomenally successful, due in part to the counsel of his (smarter) friends. Jenny represents the counter culture, and by extension, civil rights, feminism, AIDS crisis etc. Lt Dan was about the generation coming to terms with Vietnam and represented the scientific advancements of the time referencing the space program and the tech industry.

And despite it being a fictional story, I still find it to be very inspirational, and it has moments that I think most people can relate to on an emotional level. Also, my brother has Autism, which makes me connect with the movie even more (I know Forrest did not have Autism, but him and my brother can relate a bit in that they are both disabled). I actually posted a video on my channel back in February that is almost like a tribute video to Forrest Gump (though I called it a Mashup). You see, there's a band named Family Of The Year, and they used their hit song "Hero" for Richard Linklater's 2014 movie called Boyhood. For my video, I used "Hero" as background music while showing various scenes from Forrest Gump. Aside from matching song lyrics with movie scenes, my intention with the video was to try and create something unique. If you have a few minutes sometime and are interested, here is a link to that video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gaZh1auifqS0ico.html If you don't check it out, no worries at all! I won't be offended! But thank you so much in advance if you do see it! Have a great day, and stay safe!

One of the best movies ever. That's a good man that watched his grandma's VHS copy all the time.

you forget how touching this film is. Thanks for the tears. This film should remind us all to treat one another with love.

Hey Adam Alday, I completely agree with you! It's personally hard for me to choose my favorite scene in Forrest Gump (or even narrow it down to 2-3 scenes) because there is just so many awesome scenes altogether! And even though the storyline is fictional, I still find it to be very inspirational, and it has moments that I think most people can relate to on an emotional level. Also, my brother has Autism, which makes me connect with this movie even more (I know Forrest did not have Autism, but him and my brother can relate a bit in that they are both disabled).

Dunno if that's why she didn't want to watch the end, but I know some folks really despise her for that part.

Well now you have to watch "The Green Mile" with Tom Hanks and Michael Clark Duncan.

Glad yall finally got to watch Forrest Gump, if yall ain't never seen it before. It's really one of our classics. (I'm from Africa and it's still a must see movie). and that's all I have to say about that

Bukola was almost as moved as she was when she found out what happened to Uncle Iroh's son.

Agreed, so many things in FG were a big technical achievement. From Lt Dan's legs, to Kennedy, to the bombing in Vietnam. So much work went into it, Kennedy's mouth moving may not look amazing in 2021, and you could probably do that on your phone now, but back then, it was all new.

Love the reaction, Forest Gump is an amazing movie. Something I always thought about when watching this, running is a huge theme in the movie but not just always litteral. Forest since childhood is always running toward something, where as Jenny is always running away from things. Shows how drastically different your life can be depending on your mindset. Least that's how I took it.

"Now we get to see her ghost" 🤣 "Sorry thats how I cope with things" 🤣😂

One of my fondest memories growing up was being excused from school one day because I was sick from a fever. The reason it's a fond memory is because my grandparents let me stay home and watch one of my favorite movies ever in Forrest Gump. And I felt better after watching. I've had Covid for over a week now and watching this reaction while sick brought up that memory.. And im feeling better again. Yall are so funny and great. Im kinda glad there's people who havent seen this film. It's like watching for the first time again. Brought me joy watching it with you all. Yall are awesome. :)

When I saw Forest Gump at the movie theater the part where forest sent Bubba`s t mama bubba's share of his money, when he said Bubba's mama don't have to work anymore every black woman in that movie theater went crazy clapping there hands and yelling. 👏

Long time random watcher can’t remember what series you watched that I followed lol it’s been a long day and it’s 3 am. Whoever said Jenny becomes a Manson girl, Holy crap. Not only was that an out loud belt or laughter but a shocking realization that she could’ve been a Manson girl who left half way

I think the funniest moment is when Lt. Dan asks Forrest & Bubba if they're twins, and they look at each other and they're like, "No, sir.". I always get a little teary over Bubba, and I adore the scene where we see her get the money and what she does with it. Also, no matter how many times I see it i'm always so scared that Jenny's going to jump; been too close to that moment myself not to feel that in my bones, kerk

Hey Miqueias Martins! Forrest Gump is such a special movie for many reasons, but I think it is VERY impressive how it balances many different genres of film! I feel like I am watching a Coming-Of-Age movie, Comedy movie, Drama movie, Romance movie, and War movie, all at 1 time! It is also very inspirational to me, and I quote it all the time as well! Personally, I often connect with this movie because my brother actually has Autism (And even though Forrest might not have Autism, I think him and my brother can relate in that they are both disabled). I also just wanted to mention that Last Year, I actually posted a video on my KZread channel that was almost like a tribute video to Forrest Gump (though I called it a Mashup).

It is so refreshing to see young people being able to connect this movie with historic events. A lot of kids from this generation need to look up everything on their phone. You young ladies are so much fun!!! Great job!!!!!!!

Time for "The Green Mile"!

The most beautiful name in the world is my name too 🤣🤗 loved the reaction, reminded me when I was in college with my girls.

I hope Tom Hanks writes his memoirs one day. As an actor, he’s played some amazing roles. Don’t forget, he was also Mr. Rogers

A lot of the running scenes filmed when Forrest has a beard is actually Tom Hanks' bother who although looks and sounds a lot like his famous brother he has no acting talent to speak of. When asked if it was hard to imitate his brother for the running scenes he said, "No it's easy. You just stick your butt out and run like a dork"

"The Green Mile” another amazing movie of Tom Hanks

In 2019 Tom Hanks honored Sally Fields at the annual Kennedy Center honors His first phrase was" Hi Mama". It was charming. When you're old as I am, this movie is somewhat of a chronicle of your life. I remember every event in this film and live through it. Thank you beautiful people for such a wonderful reaction.

You guys HAVE to watch ‘The Green Mile’, assuming you somehow haven’t already. It’s another movie with Tom hanks, buts sadder and (my opinion) even better

I am so glad you caught the moment Jenny "became a bird"

a must see movie for all of you is "Shawshank Redemption", you'll be covered with tears of happiness and a whole lotta views

Die Hard, Galaxy Quest, The Martian, Life of Brian, Terminator, Psycho, Three Days of The Condor, Hard Times, No Time To Die, Obsession, Annie Hall, Taxi Driver, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, My Cousin Vinny, Marathon Man, Defending Your Life, Jack Reacher.

For a lot of the longer shots of Forrest running, his stunt double was his brother, who was apparently a big-time runner.

I only realized that Jenny was abused by her father on my 3rd of 4th watch. It explains so much.

I hate how many people think Jenny is the villain. She's someone who suffered early childhood trauma, and that tends to really mess people up. She gets blamed for being a bad person, but sometimes trauma can destroy the rest of your life. I don't know, I just love how much Forrest loves her for her, and doesn't treat her any differently

Being treated like Jenny was since early childhood fully affected her sense of self worth which can mess with what one believes one's worth. She wanted to be loved by Forrest, but didn't feel like she was worthy of that kind of pure, unconditional love that he offered. Wanting something so bad but not feeling worthy of that thing can cause one's choices to become erratic and be seen as, perhaps, villainous to anyone who isn't willing to give that person the benefit of understanding, as has clearly happened with Jenny since this movie came out.

Girls, you just saw a great movie winner of the academy award, he also won best actor, best adapted screenplay, best director (Robert Zemeckis ), best special effects and best editing among other awards. Starring Tom Hanks (Forrest Gump) Robin Wright (Jenny Curran) Gary Sinise (Lt. Dan Tylor) and Sally Field (Mrs. Gump). Without a doubt, a movie to enjoy with the family.

Jenny is the most beautiful thing to Forrest until he meets his son.

I remember this movie coming out, like it was a week ago. A special movie.

You can tell the big one cant be happy because all she thinks about is racism lol

Imagine trying to watch a movie with these goddamn hens screaming the entire time

I've watched the movie as a kid, multiple times, I've watched it as a teen, and still watching it as an adult. And I cry every time.

Now that you've watched the "Back to the Future" trilogy and "Forrest Gump", I urge you to continue Robert Zemeckis' work with "Cast Away" and "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"
