Forrest Gump on Destiny vs Chance

I felt bad for Dan he wanted to die with his men then some moron "saves" him from his destiny.

[@Cragified]

@@AnnaLVajda The character Lt. Dan. was a character bent on a self fullfilling prophecy of dying in battle. Lt. Dan did not know of Gump's past, but what he did know was Gump was absolutely blunt and honest. So when he told him he was still Lt. Dan he realized that dying in battle wasn't his destiny, isn't what made him important. Later the Hurricane symbolized Lt. Dan. confronting his own anger and fury of losing his legs and coming to terms with it.

I love how he’s so morally-good that he won’t even read the letter that Jenny will never be able to read either. That’s a beautiful yet heartbreaking little detail.

[@shrek-vt6cw]

There’s a small theory that it’s his forgiveness letter to Jenny. We have no idea what he saw from the time he was born until Forrest came along. So some say to spare Forrest some stress, he told him not to read it. As far as what it actually says, the theory goes he tells Jenny despite all the “ new dads “ he might’ve had or all the random men that came along he still loves her and appreciates her for uniting him with his father when it mattered most. Forrest understands the relationship between mother and son to a high degree and so he wouldn’t dare infringe upon his son’s. So yeah. We’ll never know what it said but it most likely would’ve broke Forrest. Luckily Forrest Jr is smart and knows how to just keep going. Or he’s just really young 😂

He was never the same after that, but when we watched this movie together in 1995 on VHS at home right after it came out, he opened up to me and I realized that he was just as real as Lt. Dan. He had wanted to die in that Hellscape that was Somalia with his brothers who didn't make it back, and he cried on my shoulder like a baby.

An interesting note of pause is when Lt. Dan asks if Gump knows what it's like to not use his legs and Gump says yes, Dan just looks at him for a second before clarifying what he means. He never seems to think nor accuses Gump of lying, showing that while he knows Gump isn't smart, he is honest and isn't making some smart comeback. Dan just takes him at his word, in spite of how emotional he is, and moves on.

[@sacr3]

Humans are animals, and Jenny was an injured animal. Her ability to trust and love properly were destroyed when she was younger by her father, when she was brought into this world her only source of trust was harming her on a regular basis. This permanently scars everything you do throughout life, sometimes you'll react negatively to something without truly knowing why and to others it seems irrational and illogical, Jenny made a lot of bad decisions because her foundation of life is a mess. But Forrest Gump was always there to take her back in when she needed that little bit of reassurance and love, the only way she could have been fixed is if she did see some individuals to assist in changing the way she sees the world, try to rebuild her past and the foundations so that her decisions aren't going to be so influenced by them. Would take years of therapy but she would be recoverable, unfortunately back then the stigma behind all this was much higher than today. On top of that the costs, even to this day are affordable for most that are in those deep bouts of depression. It's hard to keep a steady job when you're in such a heavy state of depression. She was an injured animal, and she acted just like a dog would if it was abused, run away and avoid contact. Difference here is that we can't cage her and force her to get better like we would a dog.

thank you. it’s also not just physical abuse, but also psychological one. scars in skin may heal and concealed, but scars in mind will ever not no matter how hard we try to conceal it

Forrest Gump is one of those films that afterwards, it makes you wanna go on a walk through a forest, where it's quiet and peaceful, appreciating life and its beauty for what it is.

[@matkodoris9099]

'Forrest Gump' is a masterpiece. I watch it every 5 years or so. It gets better every time.

[@KeeganWar]

I think the best line of this movie is “You died on a Saturday morning.” when Forrest is talking to Jenny’s grave. I don’t have any explanation for it, but it gives me chills every time I hear it. Beautiful movie.

[@aloysiusdevadanderabercrombie8]

There's so many good lines. The one that always gets me is "And that's all I have to say about that."

I’m from Savannah and I remember, as a child, my mom taking me downtown when the filming was going on. Every so often I watch this movie again or just a few clips… it never fails to make me well-up and think about my mom. I’m lucky she’s still with me and I always get the urge to call her whenever I come across this movie. The feather scene at the end always gets to me…

[@spinblackcircles]

This movie just never gets old man. There are so many great lessons to be learned in this film. I’m not one to really enjoy cheesy sentimental movies but you just cannot beat this movie when it comes to tugging at the heart strings and sticking with you after every viewing.

This part of the movie “Forest Gump”” maybe one of the greatest performances ever by Tom Hanks and Robin Wright in the movie industry. So very touching when Forest finds out about his son , I remember when I first saw this movie back in the 90’s and when the part cane up when forest finds out he has a son and then when he is concerned that his son could have his similar I.Q you just want to reach in the screen and hold him, I remember literally gasping the same time Forest does when he finds out his son is ok. Tom Hanks is absolutely one of the greatest actors of our 90 times. ♥️✌️

This man attains an insight instinctively and by experience many only grasp intellectually (not attain) after reading dozens of philosophy books and spiritual teachings. Forrest Gump had a gift rather than impairment. As we all, he was born without an ego, but due to his gift he did not develop one troughout his life which makes him technically an enlightened man. Forest Gump is one of the most spiritual movies ever.

Jenny died of AIDS and she wanted Forrest Gump to be his father and she knew she was dying but Jenny was dead way before that when her father would be grabbing her and kissing her and holding her she didn't like it and she was messed up about that for a very long time and not writing any letters to Forrest when he was in Vietnam, or leaving him behind in his own house,We all make mistakes and we aren't perfect and neither was Jenny! However, she managed to let her son Forrest have a normal life with his father Forrest Gump. Sad that Forrest's mom had died of the big C and she was a strong smart lady. Sally Field should have gotten something for this movie! I love it! When Forrest asks "what's my destiny mama?" she said you have to figure that out for yourself?!" "Life is like a box of chocolates you never know what your gonna get!" Too true!

[@xminusone1]

As someone who have lost someone I always considered the love of my life at a young age, hearing him talk to Jenny very directly in his head like he did, hit hard. I've done it so many times. I can't count how many times I've thought "wish you were here to saw that for yourself" or wouldn't you had died, "we would be (insert a number of years) years olds" when he said "you died on a Saturday" I've often did this. We all do.

[@wolfgangholtzclaw2637]

I grew up in the back woods of Louisiana, I had an uncle we called Uncle Yank. He never spoke more than one sentence... He was the town drunk... he was always drunk or dry looking for a drink. When Uncle Yank was a young man, he was drafted in to the Army, he had already been referred to as slow. The US Army sent him from the woods and cotton fields of Louisiana to Camp McCoy Wisconsin to learn how to be an Infantry Ski Soldier. He learned, and served on the US European Front during many bad times to include the Battle of the Bugle. He was what today we would call retarded. As a result of being a Ski Soldier he came back highly decorated. He received 100% disability for Shell Shock... He had been in many bad scrapes. When he got off the train he appeared the same as he left... slow and from Louisiana. He wasn't shell shocked he was just retarded. He died about 1980, burned up in an old cheap house in the woods. I went to the Funeral, they found the old Preacher that had baptized him in the thirties. He told the congregation that many of them had judged Yank, for being an alcoholic, but the preacher said thanks to the Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ he was pure and blessed and in the presence of the Lord. I loved that preacher and will never forget the funeral for Uncle Yank. Lots of Forrests and Yanks serve, sometimes against their will, their service is valuable and needed by the nation and many things aren't fair. I don't think fair exists, except in our minds, what does exist is need and love and understanding. The movie Forrest Gump, reaches us all at our own level. I enjoyed it, and it gave me a lot of perception of what my poor Uncle Yank must have gone through. Love your little ones, and go to Church, and love your God. We probably won't get fair, but in his good time he gives us more than fair.... they are called blessings. Peace and Love....

@@Didjeridoolove Thank you Gregory, if today's youth only knew what that generation went through. As a child I was in awe of them, they left the little they had to fight an enemy they never new, but they never complained, rarely tried to get out of it, they accepted their fate and their duty. Today we are more than spoiled and too often less than honorable. I learned honor from them, in particular, my mostly drunk Uncle Yank.

Forrest is one of those characters who represents the virtue of persistence the idea that no matter how tedious and dumb you think it is if you stick with it you’ll go far he just did what he wanted and he enjoyed what he did people think he’s dumb but he’s probably the smartest man I’ve known because he’s simple and he just wants to do what he loves
