*Forrest Gump* changed the world || FIRST TIME WATCHING REACTION

[@Elena_Rea]

Thanks for watching😘 And yeah, the movie is really full of fascinating scenes, and I couldn't include all of them in this reaction) 🥳

[@toyota420xp]

Forest said that Jenny’s dad was always touching her and kissing her. What do you think that means?

[@peterdubois65]

One movie I haven't seen a reaction to is the feel good aussie 90's classic The Castle

[@RyanMWilliams]

Check out a movie called Shawshank Redemption if you haven't seen it already.

[@calm713]

You can't do Forrest Gump in 30 minutes! This is a 45 min. minimum requirement reaction video!

[@1031buck]

i agree with bryanhenderson , it depends on the moment when you use a bad name, and if you know the person. if you don't know the person you may get your ass kicked. it's part of why it's hard to learn american english. try watching the movie Grand Torino, you will see some examples at the barber shop.

[@elanirinaarmand362]

Jenny couldn't tell Forrest earlier that he's a dad because he went running across the United States and at that time the only real means of communication was the mail. It was impossible for her to contact him.

[@kennymonty8206]

How convenient. I can't think of anyone who had a more permanent address.

[@previouslyachimp]

@@kennymonty8206 - She wrote to him at his home address, that's the letter he's holding while sitting on the bench, but he wasn't at home to receive it any sooner as he was running across the country.

The actor who played Lieutenant Dan his name is Gary Sinise. He's a part time musician and his band is called "The Lieutenant Dans". He's supporter of veterans. He's in 2 other really good movies with Tom Hanks, "Apollo 13" and "The Green Mile". He has a pretty small role in "The Green Mile".

[@Elena_Rea]

wow, interesting fact, thanks😉🙌

[@Billinois78]

Not to split hairs, but the band is called "The Lt. Dan Band".

[@nowthatisawesome5431]

Jenny’s father was a drunk, but he also beat and raped Jenny. 😢 You might have missed it when Forest said that her father was a “loving man who was always hugging and kissing her.” Forest didn’t understand what was really happening. 🥺

[@SunShine-qk4rb]

Great reaction.my heart broke many times watching it and even though I’m old enough to remember watching it when it first came out,I have watched people react to it and learned a few things about it.

@@Elena_Rea In Australia being called a C**t can be a good thing depending on the context, it can also be a bad thing depending on the context. Although I think its just us Aussies who can pull it off as an endearing term.

[@gregweatherup9596]

It comes down to context.

[@felixmendaros5425]

An interesting point someone made once... Jenny is always running from her problems and Forest is always running to something.

[@MarcoMM1]

Great reaction Elena like always, this movie its one of my favourites its such a masterpiece of cinema. Every character moment or performance in this movie is incredible perfection. The story is simple but interesting, funny and heartbreaking at the same time. The movie was based on the 1986 novel of the same name by Winston Groom. The author actually went to write the first draft of the flick before it went into production. Forrest was supposed to be a heavier man who sat at 242 pounds and stood at 6-foot-6. In the book, he became a wrestler, went to space and even hung out with an orangutan. And some fun-facts about this movies, Tom Hanks’ brother did some of that running in the movie Jim Hanks, himself an actor and filmmaker, doubled for his older brother on set, including in numerous sequences featuring Forrest’s high-knee, arm-pumping run. Tom hanks daugther was in this movie in a cameo if you keep an eye out for a surly redheaded girl in the bus scene, when young Forrest can’t find a place to sit (until Jenny invites him to sit next to her). That’s Hanks’ daughter, Elizabeth. While actor Peter Dobson played a not-yet-famous Elvis Presley as a lodger in the Gump household in a brief scene with young Forrest, the voice belongs to none other than actor Kurt Russell. Why? Russell, who was uncredited in the film, had played Presley already in a 1979 biopic directed by John Carpenter titled, appropriately enough, Elvis. And if you are wondering what Gump says in those few moments of radio silence? Well, according to Tom Hanks, the full speech reads: “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. Keep up the good work.

[@Elena_Rea]

Oh, wowwie!! So many interesting facts I've just known! thank U🥰🔥🔥🔥

[@BigGator5]

"Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Hanna Hall and Jacqueline Lovell. Casting Notes Fact: The girl in the school bus with the red hair is Tom Hanks's daughter, Elizabeth Hanks. Historical Fact: During the ambush in Vietnam the enemy is never actually seen. This led many combat veterans, especially Vietnam veterans, to rate this as one of the most accurate combat scenes in movie history. It was very sudden, the enemy wasn't seen, and it happened very quickly. Music Enthusiast Fact: Inspired by Lieutenant Dan Taylor, the military veteran character he played in this movie, Gary Sinise co-founded a rock and roll cover band called "The Lt. Dan Band" during the mid-2000s. The band often goes on USO tours to play for U.S. military personnel stationed around the world and also plays various benefits for veteran-related causes. Sinise was awarded the Presidential Citizen Medal in 2008 for his charity efforts. Double Duty Fact: In the movie there are four actors/actresses who play multiple roles. Gary Sinise plays Lieutenant Dan as well as all of his ancestors. Mykelti Williamson plays Benjamin Beaufort "Bubba" Blue, as well as the waiter opening Dr. Pepper bottles when Forrest meets JFK as an All-American. Sally Field plays Forrest's mom, as well as a male reporter during Forrest's run across America. Tom Hanks plays both Forrest and his Confederate ancestor.

[@Elena_Rea]

thank U so much for all these facts🥰🔥

[@BigGator5]

Elena_Rea ...My pleasure. 😁 Go with God and Be Safe from Evil. 😎 👍

[@darrenshoults4620]

The sad part is Jenny always running away from Forrest, because she didn't believe she deserved love. Being abused she thought there was something wrong with her and it was her fault, and deserved being hurt. That's why she stayed with the protester after he hit her.

[@RichardM1366]

Forrest Gump is a great movie. Tom Hanks deserved his Oscar by delivering a great performance. The movie is well made and it hits you right in the heart. It is happy and sad but it is heartwarming. Highly recommend!

[@pippilongstockingfan]

This movie has a great soundtrack; when Jenny boards the bus to San Francisco, we hear Scott McKenzie's "If you're going to San Francisco / Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair".

[@Elena_Rea]

yes))) I was singing this song when I was editing this reaction🤩

[@shanialover]

ALL I wear are high heels from 4 inches to my 7 inch Ballet heels and ponygirl boots, which are almost as steep an arch as my Ballet heels. i can stand and walk in both my Ponygirl boots and my Ballet heels because I took several years of Ballet and spent hours in en pointe position. In case you are unfamiliar en pointe position and Ballet heels put your feet straight down so you Have to stand and walk on the end of your toes always! I got rid of all my shoes that were flat or had heels shorter than 4 inches years ago. There is an actual company and a restaurant chain called Bubba Gump Shrimp! 😊😊👱‍♀👱‍♀👗👗👠👠❤❤

In American slang calling someone a "Running fool" isn't necessarily derogatory. It can mean simply that the person is very devoted to running. Of course a person can be both.

Hi Elena, nice to see you!😊 I forgot to mention previously I like your red hair, it suits you!❤ You did a great job reacting to this film which can be difficult with all the American history involved!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏 The most moving Tom Hanks film I have seen is "The Green Mile" (1999).😭 It is a very popular film, and widely enjoyed.

[@Elena_Rea]

Heyy)) 🤗 Thanks a lot) Yes, "The Green Mile" has to be in my list👌I’m interested in this film

[@briangreen9677]

Elena, I'm glad you got to see this film and that it had such an impact. I'm sure you'll also enjoy seeing Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins in "Meet Joe Black". If you want to see a more lighthearted film, you could always watch a movie starring a young Johnny Depp called "Benny & Joon". As for this film, I think a lot of people relate to Forrest Gump in some way because we've all faced negativity, self doubt, and having to face our fears. Each of us is on our own path, and we never know where that path will take us. I doubt if you think back ten years ago that you could have imagined that you'd be where you are today! Just imagine what the next ten years has in store for you! All I can say is, you're doing a great job, and always keep smiling!

[@Elena_Rea]

Fool was not meant to be bad in the south it indicates that you really like something like you might say someone is a fishing fool because it's all they do so Forest being a running fool is because they always see him running and he's good at it

1. The music rights alone must have cost a small fortune💲💲 2. Kurt Russell did the voice for Elvis. 3. IRL Sally Fields is only 10 years older than Tom Hanks. 4. Having gotten his degree Forrest would have gone into the Army as an officer like Lt. Dan. Not a recruit. His ASVAB kills that. 5. He actually saved Lt Dan twice. Once in the field and again to get him out of his post war funk and Dan turned his life around. 6. Normally an enlisted Army person would be fully aware of his/her separation date. 5. Jenny did indeed give him the best gift ever (it wasn't the shoes)😋 8. Jenny died of Hep-C from dirty needles when she was in Caliphony.. 9. It's ironic that Lt. Dan told the guys to take care of their feet because he loses his. 10. At the rally Forrest says, "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." 11. You have had a ride through recent US history and culture. From Elvis, John Lennon, Abby Hoffman to Vietnam and Watergate. Even the jogging craze of the 70's. About the only thing left out was streaking. 13. "Sometimes I guess there're just aren't enough rocks" 14. Haley Joel Osmentt/Forrest Jr. steals the show in "The Sixth Sense" with Bruce Willis. 15. Often when he's finishing a segment about death, he ends it by saying "That's all I have to say about that" 16 Keep in mind if Jenny wasn't wasting her life seeking men like her father and was with Forrest he/we wouldn't have had this incredible journey.
