Forrest Gump is the BEST soldier because he doesn't think (Best Scenes) 🌀 4K

[@duckpwnd]

Forrest is basically like a computer. He lacks the capacity to truly think on his own, but when given the correct input/directions, he is capable of doing amazing things far beyond what normal humans can do.

[@fluffy1931]

soldiers in combat do not always get input either correct or incorrect that's why it's called the 'fog of war'.

[@DD_Dietriech]

Ha ha ha ha ha no ​@@fluffy1931. It's called the "fog of war," because you rarely know where anything is at. Trying to find the enemy is like finding your mailbox in a dense fog. You don't know where it's at until you stumble up on it. In base you rarely know the exact locations of patrols. Just what grid square they are close to or within and that's why it's called "danger close." They're firing up on your grid square and may land on you or land 50 yards away. It is all foggy until it happens and gets cleared up.

[@Candide1776]

He was the best soldier because he followed orders in basic training. He was a hero because he didn't follow orders in combat.

[@JSmellerM]

In a way he followed common sense. In training he realized that obeying the drill sergeant was to his advantage. While the drill sergeant was loud he was also constantly praising Forrest. In combat even Forrest recognized that being safe was better than obeying stupid orders because his survival instinct kicked in. I doubt he would've run in multiple times if he found Bubba with his first run.

This also isn't correct. He was a good soldier because he was easily mouldable. In your view, Forest's cooperation during training was what made him an ideal soldier - but when he stopped cooperating this doesn't cause a contradiction? Logically your point falls flat. Mine I think better stands the test.

Yep this is very accurate. As a junior enlisted person you don’t really need to think because honestly what does an 18-22 year old know about anything anyway? Once you become an NCO you’re then expected to start using the experience of following and translating that to leading a small group of your own. And as you get promoted the group you lead gets larger and larger. Conversely an officer even a lowly 0-1 is expected to lead even though most expect the senior NCO to tell this Lt exactly what to say and when to say it.

Especially with the "they want you to be a mindless drone like in a cult". You do a lot of talking about the military for someone who's clearly never been there and only lives off of memes. The entire point to the scene, and what I'm referring to, is twofold. Gump lives a charmed, fairy-tale life, where he's constantly falling back asswards into success and this is just another instance of that where his natural traits make him successful at a thing. But the other more relevant one is that Full Metal Jacket was only a few years older than this. A movie where a mentally challenged guy is ruthlessly and cruelly bullied until he snaps and kills himself and the instructor. In this movie we have a mentally challenged guy go to basic, and the audience is like "oh no, this is Pyle all over again" only for him to receive endless praise from the DSgt. It's a lighthearted twist on what we would expect. "do guy really think Gump is a genius, that's not what this movie is about". Are you so dense you think this is some kind of surprise?

I love that too. So many quotable moments in this movie definitely one of my favorites😂😂

[@vinaymulukutla358]

I always believed that Bubba was Forrest’s only true friend. Not Jenny. He genuinely loved him as a brother and planned to take him into the shimping business with him. Therefore this and the loss of his mother were the saddest scenes for me. Jenny never valued him until close to the end.

[@vicentetorres946]

Forrest remembered everything in detail, he cared deeply about the people he loved. He influenced many people in the film (he even taught the King of RnR Elvis how to dance). My theory: He's not stupid, he was just on the autism spectrum.

[@gyrtiasnecrotaros4710]

The movie does blatantly state that he does have some kind of neurodivergent condition but they don't specify which one and i think it's a pretty smart choice on part of the writers You can easily imagine him being all kinds of neurospicy and it just works

[@guitarhero-z2m]

Absolutely :) And he is very intelligent in a lot of aspects

[@Borengar629]

Here in Germany we have a saying among soldiers which is Soldat in german. Soldat is the acronym for Soll Ohne Langes Denken Alles Tun, which basically translates to should do everything without overthinking

[@JustinHampton-l5j]

Was this saying born from the reich

[@kozatas]

Does Germany have soldiers? I thought other guys banned her from having.

[@hiratakyan]

​@@kozatas That's Post World War One Era dude 😭

[@trevorinthailand]

one of the greatest movies of all time!!😅😅😅😊😊😊😊😊

[@Uns_Maps_8]

And one of the best characters of all times as well

[@happyavacado1495]

I don't care how old this movie gets it's like the green mile they are the most amazing movies Tom hanks has ever made 😢 but they always make me cry

[@f0urstr1ng]

Like every seriously good movie, you can walk in on it at any point and it’ll hook you because every single scene is so damned watchable 👏👏👏👏

[@Shanehutcheson841]

This is one of the BEST movies ever!!

[@LanceKeller-b5v]

I like how bubba continues ..."Anyway..as I was saying...."

[@dafas5324]

Forest save several his comrade but fail to save his best friend 😢.

[@Basil-HD]

It wasn't though his fault

Only so much you can do when reality screws you over. Physics, we are all battling physics, atoms moving and doing whatever they do, until they become concious and then pain is created for us all.

Legendary !!! Forest Gump and shawshank redemption best ever movies made !!

[@jwill6276]

Yes

[@bircruz555]

I have watched only a few movies in four decades. But I watched Forest Gump and Shawshank redemption. And glad I did.

Shimp isn't the FRUIT of the sea it's actually the cockroach of the sea..... This is one of the best movie ever made.

[@Halcon_Sierreno]

Shrimps are all muscle as opposed to roaches being full of liquid.

[@Riese79]

​@@Halcon_Sierreno muscles are 80% water .

It’s the lobster that’s the cockroach of the sea. Something I tried to forget when I ate a lobster tail

The way the drill sergeant expresses his amazement gets me every time.

Forrest was a true hero in this movie courage under fire and throughout his life

[@khsimagesdotcom856]

1:20 Always loved how cartoonish Coach Bear Bryant was made to appear. 😂

[@justinfellows6332]

At 0:35 it just dawned on me, they put Forrest on Special Teams XD

[@Dan_Boston]

Good catch. Wonder if it was intentional.

[@qmchale5130]

@@Dan_Boston Yep. Those are the expendable soldiers that you send in first to check for traps (that's what Lt. Dan was making Forrest do in one scene); like cannon fodder and tunnel rats.

[@Euler123-h8n]

This movie shows two contrasts: Forrest who really enjoyed life and lived intensely, and the girl who thought she was living intensely while actually throwing her life away and died of STD before the 40s...which unfortunately is something continues very common nowadays, who is the real "idiot"?

"Guuuuuuuuuump!!!!" That line along with that walk kills me everytime 😂😂

Tom Hanks really peaked in the 90's. Great actor

[@rstyknfe]

I like how at 1:12, the guy chasing him is actually faster than him, until he trips.

[@Slossage17]

Gump was the Ultimate NPC that everyone loved.

[@RiceCubeTech]

Except despite the box behavior he’s the main character with 1 million different skill points. Top tier Football player, runner, pro ping pong, soldier, shrimper, business owner, father, husband, friend, etc.

5:57 I would give 5000 USD to the person who implements this extremely dope 1911 pistol gun sound into my battlefield game.

[@guitarhero-z2m]

I'll do it lol

[@TkT-z1w]

Years later I realize the sergeant is praising Gump in front of other soldier is in fact humiliating all the others.🤣

[@vanessac1721]

People werent so sensitive those days. They would have seen that Forrest deserved the praise.

great, now i have to watch this masterpiece again...

Forrest was just following his dharma.Whenever a door of opportunity opened up=he RAN WITH IT...110% effort.

[@dominiciannozzi6372]

one of the best films ever..must have watched it 20 times...

Can you imagine General Gump he might be the smartest General Hehe

I always love the look on the lady's face when Forrest pulls out the magazine and realizes he's telling the truth.

[@jagoz7465]

Drill Sargent was good for Gumps confidence

[@johnc.hammersticks]

This one of the greatest movies ever made. Putting an M1 garand or M14 together that quickly would be insane. I have many times, i love you hear a bunch of heavy parts hit the table, but the receiver and barell are only real heavy parts on it. Trying to put one together this fast correctly would be amazing, ive been working with firearms for a long time, hopefully someone actualy has the record.

[@midoritranslationchannel]

It's funny because in these clips, people whom love Gump more than Jenny herself. 🤣

[@markbrwer9339]

The “I gotta find bubba” line gets me every time!

Forrest Gump was the favorite Recruit in the army. Forrest seen what war has done to his army pal Bubba

I’ve always loved that scene. It has always cracked me up how aggressive the praise was. Yes, I know that’s the point, but it’s still funny and after all these years this scene never fails to make me laugh.

[@Purple_Reign]

If I could only watch one movie for the rest of my life it would be Forrest Gump. No exaggeration, I’ve watched it at least 100 times already but could watch it again like it was new.

the way he saved his friends, makes me cry everytime.

Alright alright, I guess I gotta watch Forrest Gump again lol For sure one of the best movies made of all time
