[@leroylowe5921]

I didn't see anyone mention it, but you guys left out where Forrest calls security when he sees people snooping around at that hotel. Those were the guys who did the Watergate break-in. Just another way he changed history all by himself.

[@1971tallica]

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.

[@MJoy4Fun]

quite exactly! i am confused if the little forrest was his kid, but to be honest i dont really care.. i know Forrest will take care of him as his own. Jenny was the only friend Forrest had.. he couldn't give up on her no matter what.. due to his lack sense of judgemental mindset.. he gave her the most innocent and pure love she could have.. she didn't think she deserved it.. her life was too messed up.. in the end she did the right thing

[@SSgtJ0hns0n]

And another detail; she smoked at the beginning, but by the end, she's chewing gum, which means she put in effort to kick the habit. Even if she didn't leave the town by doing the same thing over and over again, she still managed to turn her life around in her own significant way.

[@margiewilliams537]

Great reaction, I love the way y'all got Jenny,not most people do They seem to forget that she was abused and molested by her father and that skewed her whole out look as far as love was concerned, she told Forrest that he didn't know what love was but it was she who didn't understand so she chose the wrong men , because she had no self Worth And she never asked Forrest for anything,he kept showing up trying to rescue he It wasn't until she got pregnant that she turned her life around because she finally understood unconditional love I think you guys would love The Sixth Sence with The boy that played Forrest son and Bruce Willis

All the whole movie is turned on it's head by that line "Is he smart or is he like me." Throughout the movie we're lead to believe that Forrest *doesn't* know he's not as smart as other people...that in his "dumbness" there is a childlike innocence and that's why everything just flows off his back, and it's only right *then* do we realize that he's known *the entire time* and *still* lead his life with kindness and compassion in the face of horrible abuse from so many people.

Jenny is a classic example of what happens to people who were abused as kids and didn't get any therapy to help them. They seek relationships abuse as adults because they subconsciously feel they deserve it. She won't be with forest because she feels that he is too good of a person for her. She runs away constantly just like she always tells forrest to run

[@larrote6467]

it isn't because "she feels she aint' good enough", what ends up happening with those people is that stability (and similar related things) gets them nervous/uneasy.

Good Will Hunting... pretty much the same thing. Since Will is a "pov" chacter I've seen the same people who hate Jenny love Will. It's diapointing and kind of scary. "He pushes people away before they get to leave him." That's why her advice to Forest has always been "run!"

No, she died of Hepatitis C, the author came out and confirmed it a few years a ago. If it was aids, that would insinuate that Forrest and his son likely had it as well. Seems kinda like a morbid way to end an uplifting movie.

16:46 There were mass protests against the war in the late 60's.

[@GrouchyMarx]

@ 16:44 The guy there with the flag shirt is Abbie Hoffman, and very much against the war. What he meant by "where to stick this f-ing war!" was to stick up the war supporters backsides! 😁 One thing really neat about this movie is the background music that was popular at the timeline at certain scenes. @ 20:18 The scene there of Forrest and Lt. Dan crossing the street and Dan pounding the taxi yelling "I'm walking here!!" along with the music is a reenactment of a memorable scene from a popular movie at the time "Midnight Cowboy" (1969). Those of us knowing that movie had a laugh here because in Midnight Cowboy Dan's equivalent, Ratso Rizzo, had a bad leg, limped but could walk and said the same thing as Dan pounding a car that almost hit them too. This movie has a lot of flashbacks to events like that. @ 21:56 It wasn't in your video here but did you catch the Watergate thing with Forrest? LOL! 😁 @ 39:05 Same bus driver lady. She kicked her cigarette habit and switched to bubble gum. You guys followed this movie well and obviously enjoyed it. I enjoyed watching you enjoy it. For another really good Tom Hanks movie based on real events concerning space history watch "Apollo 13" (1995) directed by Ron Howard. ✌😎

👏👏👏 Nicely done, and a refreshing understanding of the character Jenny. Many people are very harsh towards her and I'm glad that you moreso sympathized with her childhood. Robin Wright played her very well.

[@lirpa2300]

It's not that we don't sympathize with Jenny's childhood, but it doesn't justify her actions or give her a pass for treating Forrest like she did throughout the movie. It just seems convenient that now she has an incurable disease she now wants to be with Forrest let alone tell him he has a son. Had she not be sick, would she have told him about Forrest, let alone ask to marry Forrest...probably not.

If you love Tom Hanks, he starred in a comedy called The Money Pit early in his career that is absolutely hilarious.

Finally! Reactors who aren’t judging Jenny unjustly. Glad to see that you guys understood that she was deeply damaged by the sexual abuse visited on her by her POS father. And you were able to see that a consequence of that were her feelings of being unworthy of Forrest. Beyond that, glad you liked this thoroughly enjoyable film.

[@MJoy4Fun]

ofcourse... is easy to judge. in fact i believe that Jenny loved him more than he died by protecting him from her... you may wonder (well why she acted like an a**hole) couple of times towards him... that's a protective mechanism from people with deep trauma.. they want to test u how much u are able to use or hate them... bcuz they dont believe they can be loved. when they cannot make u hate or use them.. they get afraid bcuz they are not used to be around goodness or nice people like that.. so they ran away cuz they feel unworthy...

[@serpentisma]

This is the first reaction I saw of this film, where the reactors hit the nail on the head about Jenny. Most people get pissed at Jenny for leaving him over and over, but you two were right on the money. She knew he loved her, and she really did love him back. But she was such a hot mess, from sexual abuse by her father, abusive boyfriends, a destructive lifestyle with abusive relationships followed by constant drug use. She knew she needed to get her shit together and get her life back in order. And back in those days, there was a huge stigma about seeking therapy or counseling, where the main helpful advice came in the form of “get over it”. I love that you two were able to empathize with her character. Love your reactions and I look forward to seeing more from this channel. Cheers! ❤️❤️❤️

Anyone who cared about forest got upset when people called him stupid ie jenny, mom and lt. Dan. I only saw one person to take note of that on a reaction.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed this one

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

One thing that always puzzles me is people's hatred towards Jenny. Will never understand it. She was abused physically and sexually by her dad and also saw him do it to her sisters. Something that traumatic at an early age can really mess you up in later life as was evident in her choice of men but at the end of the day she defended Forrest all through their formative years but because she didn't fall in love with him and marry him immediately she gets known as a villain by some people who watch this movie

[@cinemappendix1389]

I think it has a lot to do with that scene where she shows Forrest her breasts. She doesn't seem to treat Forrest as a serious love interest, as these reactors pointed out, and in that particular scene led him on. Additionally, and this is probably unfair, I think people don't care for her reaction/lifestyle of running away from her troubles and her encouragement of Forrest to do the same. It's one way of dealing with her trauma, whereas Forrest always confronted his traumas--although often internally. The closest we get to a scene with Jenny showing some contemplation of her life's choices are when she stands on the edge of that hotel balcony and an on-the-nose remark from a taxi driver as she runs from Forrest after (unknowingly) getting impregnated by him.

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

@@cinemappendix1389 I can't argue the logic I just think those traits are understandable and don't outweigh the unseen good she'd done for Forrest considering Forrest describes her as his ONLY friend. Once she knows Forrest has it more together than she does in terms of stability (mama to college to the military) in his life and meeting a new best friend in Bubba she stays away from him as her previous trauma and the start of the hippy movement and music scene and wanting to go in that direction to escape her upbringing means she has to get away from Forrest as she knows she's no good for him. She's not a bad person, simply flawed, she dies knowing she gave Forrest the one thing in his life he didn't know he was missing

[@larrote6467]

@@A-small-amount-of-peas there's also this: where do you draw the line? I wouldn't dare say where, but the point being that at one point every single human being becomes repsonsible for their actions.

@@A-small-amount-of-peas Forrest himself brings that point home while (in maybe the best scene in the movie) he describes how Jenny was with him in all of those times and in all the places he visited.

Jenny catches a lot of reactor hate. Forrest had a mother's love. Jenny had an abusive father and no mother to love her. Forrest was flawed, physically and mentally, but innocent. Jenny was flawed, damaged, in a different way. Forrest loved Jenny from day one and as we're told, they were inseparable. As far as we know, Jenny was Forrest's only friend, and a true one, until Bubba. Forrest's love for Jenny never wavered. Though not as much on the first viewing as later, I'm thankful I came to have grace and understanding for Jenny.

Almost 30 years ago, this movie was mostly about the USA - with Gump as the naive stand-in for America itself - from the early 50s to the early 80s: Elvis to AIDS (well, more or less). It was a biography of the Baby Boomer generation. Today, to appreciate the film on that level, I think you have to be 1) American, 2) Over 50 (like me), or 3) an American history buff. The 1950s are closing in on a century ago now, though it heartens me that people still know who Elvis is. :) There are a million little explainers of who was what and what it meant in this movie, but I think people today just enjoy the human story. As for your reaction, I join others here in thanking you for not running down a victim of incest. I've almost come to dread reactions to "Gump" because people are awfully judgmental ... or, ignorant, missing the clear indication of abuse early in the film. Anyway, glad you enjoyed it!

Sa fit binecuvantati and may your first born child be a masculine child(godfather). Felicitari din Atlanta, keep up the great work I'm looking forward to the next reaction 🇺🇲🕊️🇷🇴🕊️🇵🇭

You hit it on the head, “a Godly man.“

[@MJoy4Fun]

ohhh yesss

[@rawpower12xu]

You guys are the best I’m jealous that you have never seen all these movies and get to experiment that feeling for you the first time

[@bruceheckerman7343]

My two favorite reactors reacting to my favorite movie! You guys have made me happy. ❤️

[@MJoy4Fun]

awww thank you so much! such kind words!

[@briankettleson290]

This is a story about different destinies. Some chosen and others floating along. Two different upbringings.

[@chriswebb1679]

"Forrest help me, Forrest help me" " I Gotta find Bubba" how do you not drop tears at that scene?

[@joshuanevermind1530]

I'm not sure if this was already posted but I have learned a lot from the comments sections from various "First Time Watching" vids. So if I can help someone else learn... I read that Tom Hanks liked the young actor that played the Forrest Gump kid that he took on his talking style for the character. 😁

[@Psergiorivera]

Your reaction is the BEST. Thank you for this

[@SC457A]

I place this movie with my favorite ones of all time. It is a special one.

[@cesarvidelac]

Oh this movie is a rollercoaster, made me laugh and cry with so little pause!

[@derps0n839]

At the end, it is the same bus driver, but school bus drivers were no longer allowed to smoke on the school bus

[@westlod]

That was the best reaction to this movie, good reaction you two.

[@janabraam7963]

Same bus driver lady & name. She just quit smoking. After all the times watching this I never realized it was the same woman. This was the time period when I was the same age as adult Jenny. The virus Jenny had was probably hepatitis or HIV, which came out more in the 60's & 70's due to heavy drug use & unprotected sex. HIV which lead to AIDS was not identified yet and Jenny had said she was dying from some kind of virus that the doctors didn't know what it was. This was such a great story of pure love by Forrest for Jenny, who forever found herself with the bad boys, probably due to low self esteem, thanks to the abuse of her father. I just finished watching your reaction to The Green Mile. I really enjoy your reactions. New subscriber now!

[@MJoy4Fun]

yessss.. so sad her life was :( i am not proud to admit i known so many like her.... but somehow if you trust in God strong enough.. he can restore you. Forrest bcuz of his brain to not be able to see everything... ''lack of sarcasm'' made him see only good in people

[@michaelvincent8208]

the part that chokes me up is when Lt. Dan comes to the wedding. He too, has got his life together, and I am so happy for him. (Vietnam Vet) Part of his healing was falling in love with someone that reminds him of the people he was fighting and killing before. His soul is now also healing.

[@MJoy4Fun]

yessss! that was deep for suree

[@browniewin4121]

Wonderful movie, and especially fun for me since all the references were familiar to me. Tom Hanks has had so many good movies. My favorites: Splash (1984), Dragnet (1987), Big (1988), The Burbs (1989), Joe Versus the Volcano (1990), A League of Their Own (1992), Philadelphia (1993), Apollo 13 (1995), That Thing You Do (1996), Cast Away (2000), Road to Perdition (2002), Catch Me If You Can (2002), The Terminal (2004), Captain Philips (2013), Sully (2016), A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019).

[@MrDootDali]

Amazingly good reaction! Very heartfelt!

[@Jbr2005]

The guy on the dock says Gump needs to name his boat, but if you look close enough, it already has a name 'Miss Sherri" 22:47

[@adz_b]

A great film & a great reaction - thank you 👍😀🇬🇧

[@lordwalker71]

The blonde girl on the bus who wouldn’t let Forrest sit down is Tom Hanks daughter Elizabeth. Tom Hanks based Forrest way of speaking on the kid who played young Forrest because the kid was from the south and spoke like that. There was going to be a sequel that had Forrest raising Forrest junior who had aids from Jenny and he was going to meet Princess Diana and be near famous incidents that happened in the 90’s but the script arrived the day before 9/11 and they decided it wasn’t relevant anymore. People figured that Jenny died of aids even thought the writer tried to deny it but she died in the mid 80’s when aids first started and doctors didn’t know what it was at first.

[@damiion666]

17:09 lol girl don’t do that! You’re doing a reaction video damn lolol! 😂

[@morganrussell6783]

Awesome Reaction Guys Loved It. The Green Mile Starring Tom Hanks 💖💯

[@nathan.brazil780]

[@cflournoy1529]

You guys should watch Tom Hanks in The Terminal. Excellent movie!!

[@jimmyrodela5515]
