FORREST GUMP (1994) | First Time Watching | This Movie is Simply AMAZING | Movie Reaction

[@LialaNaema]

This movie has my heart ❤️

[@Gonzalo_Almendra]

Totally agree with you, this is a great movie and I still have a big heart for it ❤️

[@MadcapMatt]

This movie had my favorite soundtrack until Guardians of the galaxy vol 1 came out

[@NATIVESUNSETS65]

This movie is a epic saga , Forrest is an inspirational character , great reaction . Now you need to complete the Tom Hanks Trifecta " The Green Mile " it's heavy movie too . Maybe you could squeeze in something a little more lighthearted like Disney-Pixar's " Brave " .

[@ProHero86]

OCS is officer candidate school, it’s where people who what to be officers in the military go to train (Lieutenants and Captains etc)

[@Lue_Jonin]

Jenny didn't reply to any of his letters... Those were returned mail he got in the hospital.

[@stobe187]

That "is he...smart or.." scene always kills me because it shows self-awareness, worry, compassion, doubt and love all at the same time. Hanks absolutely nailed the delivery and physicality of that moment.

[@smittybenzo4693]

I always wonder how Mr. Hanks got to that moment of executing that delivery. It doesn't feel like he just turned that on after hearing "action". He embodied Forrest with a display of emotion that only a human actually living that moment out can portray. It is in my opinion, one of the most moving moments in cinema.

[@deeanna8448]

That one gets me every time too. I don't know if the writer asked him to deliver it that way or if he just did it.

[@wadeschalk4599]

Easily the best scene

[@MegaForrestgump]

That gets me, too. But the line that will always get me is the exchange between Jenny and Forrest when he is telling her about his adventures. Jenny: "I wish I could have been there with you." And Forrest responds "You were." Forrest had Jenny in his heart everywhere he went.

[@thisguy6700]

That line hit me hard when I rewatched Forrest Gump years later, fully understanding the weight of that question. Hanks deserved the Oscar from that scene alone.

[@bgt54rfvcde32wsxzaq1]

Jenny's letters were marked "RETURN TO SENDER" and Unopened. OCS is Officer Candidate School were men who didn't enter the Army as an Officer can graduate as a Junior Officer

[@jonmcnabb6421]

yea they were a pile of return to sender letters because jenny was gallivanting around at the time and had no known fixed address

[@zedwpd]

All officers that enter the military be it OCS, ROTC, or an Academy, you enter as a junior officer. OCS was the shortest training to become an officer. They called it a 6 week wonder.

[@WaywardVet]

Green to Gold. It's when you enter as an officer directly from the enlisted ranks. Which is fine. But as that sergeant yelled, it would be a waste. One of our military strengths is the Non-comissioned Officers.

If only she read the comments this would be a great help

[@TheToscanaMan]

Liala... you understood Jenny's situation perfectly. Most reactors do not. They see her as horrible and self-centered. My favorite lines: Jenny: "I wish I could've been there with you." Forrest: "You were." It has been a pleasure watching this movie with you Liala.

[@johnthomas4980]

Go watch family guys version of Jenny and Forest that about sums it up for me.

[@SuperFriendBFG]

In fairness, she is being self-centered, however she is absolutely not being horrible. Trauma can cause us to do many things that can be seen as toxic or damaging to a relationship, it's a self defense mechanism, either to avoid getting hurt, or to avoid hurting others. Many traumas can drive good people to do bad things.

[@BipolarBLKSheep]

The scene at the end where Forest is walking away from Jenny's grave, you can see some birds fly out of the tree... Jenny always wished to be turned into a bird so she could fly far far away. So poetic and beautiful!

One of my favorite movies ever. While I love Forrest's story, it is Lt. Dan's journey, as a Veteran myself, that gets me every time. The end, when he shows up at the wedding, with his magic legs and a fiancé, never fails to bring tears to my eyes. One beautiful moment in a film filled with beautiful moments.

ocs is officer candidate school. the weird thing is if you graduate college like forrest did you should be automatically in ocs if you sign up for the military. also the letters forrest got in the hospital were written by him and they were all "RETURN TO SENDER" so jenny never wrote him back.

[@maduross]

At that time? Nowadays a college graduate still has to apply to OCS unless you're ROTC.

[@KS-xk2so]

Maybe Forrest's IQ test scores, which show how "challenged" he is, held him back? Those are federal tests, so I'd think the army would be able to see the results.

[@abovewater6918]

You are one of the first reactors who actually understands Jenny. And not just trashing her for her decisions. That she is wounded, and that's the reason why she didn't want to get too close to Forrest. She thought he was pure and she felt like she was damaged and not good enough to be with him

Many people who watch this movie end up loving it but are of the opinion that Jenny was a bad person who hurt Forrest for selfish reasons. The fact that you saw past her actions and realized that Jenny never meant to hurt Forrest and that her childhood trauma is what caused her to, is amazing. I'm proud of you for having such a mature and kind take on this movie.

[@christopherking4932]

I've seen so many reactors attack Jenny for how she kept treating Forrest, but you are the only one that brought up her traumatic upbringing and you knew she didn't mean to hurt Forrest at all. Loved your reaction so and I couldn't stop crying every single moment you started to. Thank you so much for your amazing channel, it really means alot to me.

[@brandontrammel4581]

Exactly

[@islandseeker1260]

But also because of her upbringing she was afraid to get close to anyone, found it difficult to maintain healthy relationships, and ran away from her problems. Jenny had a lot of demons to conquer before she could be with Forrest, and I think she was just dealing with them as best she knew how, regardless of Forrest.

[@NealMarchuk]

Your reaction to this classic movie was a joy to watch, Liala! Glad that you heeded the advice from me and other fans, and equipped yourself well for this highly emotional story. I was especially relieved at your assessment of Jenny. I've seen so many reactors give her a hard time, and I don't think she deserves that at all. Objectively, her treatment of Forrest is atrocious, but it never comes from a place of malice. Rather, Jenny's confused and suffering from the trauma of horrific childhood abuse; it takes her years to process that, and all without the benefit of professional help. She engages in multiple self-destructive behaviours to numb the pain, and it's quite possible that she even sees herself as unsafe for nice people to be around. In that sense, Jenny might very well be trying to protect Forrest, as you said. Looking forward to your next one!

[@honkhonk5181]

Fine, but are we going to ignore the fact that she literally r@p3d him to get that baby? A) Forest didn’t understand s3x and thus could not have consented. (A b0ner does NOT automatically mean consent.) B) She broke into his house, s3xu@lly assaulted him, then left once she had his seed planted. So I guess it’s A okay just because it’s a man getting rap3d instead of a w0m@n? Get the fu/ck out of here. Swap the genders and everyone would have gone completely bananas over that scene.

[@DavidStebbins]

Great reaction! From Elvis to AIDS (or Hep C in the book), Forrest Gump is the story of a generation. It is the historical touchstones, the music, the traumas, and the philosophical questions with which we wrestled. This movie is also used in some American History classes to teach the timeline of events that occurred over the course of the generation. Some events are easy to recognize and others, like the opening of China, the American bicentennial, or the running craze that started in the late 70s are more obscure. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

[@axr7149]

This movie won Tom Hanks his 2nd consecutive Best Actor Oscar, one of only 2 people ever to achieve this in the Best Actor category (after Spencer Tracy) and one of 5 to achieve this in any acting category overall (Katharine Hepburn, Luise Rainer and Jason Robards being the other 3). I highly recommend his other Best Actor winning performance in PHILADELPHIA (1993) as well (Jason Robards is in this movie too).

Yes, _Philadelphia_ is a good laugh.

Liala, I have seen a lot of reaction videos to this gem of a film, but yours is definitely my favorite. You noticed so many great things about the story, you understand Jenny and her trauma better than anyone else I've seen, you love the fun and funny moments, and your emotions are genuine and touching (I was crying right along with you). You clearly have a very sweet heart, and it was a pleasure to watch this movie again with you. 😊

[@skullandbones1832]

My favorite part of the movie is when Forrest says he's in the desert and when the sun comes up he couldn't tell where heaven starts and earth began and tells Jenny she was there with him. I have been to a lot places in this world that are so beautiful. The one place has always been with me is being on the ocean heading to south America on a cargo ship and seeing all the stars and moon in the night sky it just seams to me that the stars and heaven are closer to you in the ocean than on land.

You're right, Jenny was never being malicious. She was being self-destructive because deep down she didn't believe she deserved happiness.

[@pallmall1991]

I really enjoy your reactions a lot! 👍🏻 A few points: First of, not many get, why Jenny always leaves Forrest. You exactly nailed it. She was just protecting him, bcs she saw herself as a threat to people. Second, I think this movie was the only one I ever got a life lesson from. I still try to remember myself from time to time, not to overthink everything. Makes some things a lot easier... Third point is, don't ever feel sorry, for asking things you don't know. There is a saying: "A real wise man always has more questions than answers!" 🤓 Keep yourself, you have a good heart! That's easy to see! All the best from germany! ✌🏻 Addendum: One small request, which probably means a lot of work for you, which I would really appreciate! 😅 There is another movie, a funny one, also with a strong message, that no one ever reacted to. It went under the radar, when it came out, but you can trust me, it's worth a reaction. It's call "Accepted". If you could do that, I would be very happy! At least watch it on your own sometimes. Has a great soundtrack, some cool characters in it and an important message, about doing the things... I don't wanna a spoil it! 🤷🏼‍♂️😉

It's funny how Tom Hanks was offered Tim Robbins character in "The Shawshank Redemption" but turned it down when John Travolta declined the role in "Forrest Gump" to take the role in "Pulp Fiction", which led Tom Hanks stepping into "Forrest Gump" which led Tim Robbins stepping into "The Shawshank Redemption". Later on to make it up to Frank Darabont, the director of "The Shawshank Redemption", Tom Hanks decided to play the lead role in "The Green Mile" also directed by Frank Darabont when John Travolta turned down the lead role in "The Green Mile". "Forrest Gump", "The Shawshank Redemption", "Pulp Fiction" and "The Green Mile" are 4 of my favorite films and all are classics.

A bit late since this posted, but I just saw this now. Anyhow, as some others have pointed out, you are one of the very few who actually got Jenny. Like really, truly got her. Some have said more or less, "yeah, I get that she didn't have the best childhood, but....." They seem to miss, don't realize, or ignore the foundation of her issues. While not all abuse victims turn out like Jenny, the #1 reason why people who did turn out like Jenny turned out that way because of it. Prior to having children I'd always heard that the father is a girls first and most important relationship she'll ever have. I never knew how true that was until my daughter was born. She's just about 13 now and every day I see and experience things with my daughter, be it through conversation, interactions and even punishment, that reinforce the most simple of truths in fatherhood. My relationship with my daughter is quite literally the Beta version of every relationship she will ever have with a man.

I watch a lot of reaction videos. It's fun to watch others react to movies that I love. Always make me laugh when I'VE needed a laugh Your reactions are different and a cut above, because your reactions are genuine and you're never afraid of your feelings. Never apologize for letting a movie "get to you" like this one.

Hi Liala you look beautiful with your hair ❤ i really enjoy your reaction to Foreest Gump i felt your tears to 😢🤧🥰

Jenny protected Forrest. The level of devotion and love he had for her, every time she got into a pickle she would’ve called him and he would’ve come and bailed her out and it would’ve hurt him even more. It’s strange to me that adults can’t understand this. Beautiful film though. A well deserved Oscar for Hanks who played his character so well that at no point in the film do you see Tom Hanks. Only Forrest.

Speaking as someone who is born, raised, and lives in the American South, I can tell you with complete certainty that the most historically accurately part of this movie is that we will sit next to a complete stranger and tell our entire life story. It's happened to me about four times this month, and I've done it at least twice. We are a talkative people.

Jenny did not write back. Those letters were the ones Forrest wrote but could not be delivered because she kept moving.

I didn’t notice 😭 I just saw her name and balled 😭

You got a tender heart, ma'am. Nothin wrong with a good honest cry. Appreciate the appreciation you showed towards a type of man like Forest. They make the best husbands and fathers yet are disrespected, used and passed over by mostly shallow, immature and emotionally unintelligent women cause he don't fit the Ken and Barbie image in their head. That's all I have to say about that.

Tom hanks is just so great at all these characters he's played ugh this movie just tears me up and love them showing all the different things him and Jenny go through and funny how they made all the stuff or most of the stuff Forrest did have some historical aspect in it

[@thseed7]

Jenny loved Forrest. She just didn't think she deserved it.

He is a great person. I remember a lot when I saw the movie. I cried a lot and I was even in tears when I left the theater at that time. The movie is magnificent and I have all the physical editions of the Forrest Gump movie. It's on my list of the best movies of the history 10/10 🎥🎞️🍿
