a "click" in military jargon is a Kilometer

[@KajunMoo70]

This is not a true story! Forrest is a fictional character that we’ve all come to love.

[@lawrenceallen8096]

You may not have noticed--you were talking at the time (which is your job)--but I think Hanks' best acting moment in the film (maybe all time) was when, after he was told he was a dad, he asked Jenny "is he smart? Or..." that broke me when I saw this film in theaters when it was first released. Unbelievable.

[@lawrenceallen8096]

@@jscan4442 Sir: This is a reaction video. That's her job. I find her reactions insightful and entertaining. In this one case, she talked over a masterful performance. I'm happy to oblige. I'm sure she appreciates the feedback.

Yeah, too much talking spoiled the video.

[@chrismalik1579]

Correction... (her job in the video is not to talk over everything)... people need to start paying more attention to the movies and talk less because most of the time the reactor is either confused or misses too much stuff or complains they didn't hear what the characters said... try watching the movie more and don't talk over the actors or there's really no point in making a video... if this is how people actually watch movies at their home for the first time, no thanks because that would be annoying... BTW FYI the definition of reaction doesn't mean to talk it means to feel or think a certain way in response to something... these youtubers might as well call these videos commentaries instead of reactions cause all they want to do is talk, how you gonna talk over an entire movie you've never seen before and act like you got the full experience of the film while complain that you didn't understand certain things

[@jonbruton3557]

So glad that you do get Jenny. I think Jenny was the second most important person in the movie. The movie showed her life from basically the same time as it started with Forest. [some reactors get Jenny wrong, allot of reactors love Forest so much they don't like Jenny] She truly loved Forest and had the same deep down kind nature as he. She was the only one to befriend him on the bus at the very start to show her good nature. [and continued to be his good friend through high school, imagine how hard that was with all the bullies still on Forrest's case, so to speak] Others will comment on the trauma she would have had to deal with [an obviously very deep wounding of her] so I won't go into that, just point out that they [as the two main subjects of the plot] were basically two kind hearted and worthy people from two different upbringings. She talks of how their lives are so different. [recognizing her flaws] She repeatedly lets Forrest know she Does Love Him [always in a sad tone, knowing she could hurt the one true constant good in her life if she let him into hers then] And not wanting to hurt the only true one she did love would say "You don't want to marry me" [imagine how it must have hurt her to have to tell him that!]. She had to fix herself [with no help from anyone in those days -totally on her own to heal herself] before worthiness could take place. Forrest helped everyone! And the way he helped her was finally to let her find the first true lovemaking she had ever done after she recovered at his house. [her choice finally to see it's OK to have a good man watch over her as she obviously made the best decision of her life to "clean up" -with all the sleeping that was needed] When she agreed with Forrest that he would make a good husband on those stairs it led to the final "fix" that happened when she would have felt so badly when he thought she didn't love him. She finally allowed herself to express to him [and herself] the lovemaking she had never known and was always afraid to accept. It was real. It was good. [for both of them] And it was time to leave [yes, once again] but this time Not Running. It was time to make herself a good clean life without his help to be sure she wouldn't hurt him to be with him. [remember she was really new to the clean life, with just those few weeks or so clean so far] She proved it to herself and It isn't clear in the movie but she may well have written the letter for him to come before she found out her condition [he was running for years] and either way I believe she would have contacted Forrest about his child even if she had not come down with Hepatitis C [a not defined or understood illness back then -it wasn't aids as the author has said it was Hep C] Remember when she left the last time she would not have known she was pregnant yet, just that she needed to be sure she was worthy to live up to the love she felt for him that night of her first true loving. Two deep down Good People, with very different lives who none the less helped each other throughout their life's even as differently as it went for them. One finding it very easy to let the deep-down good person show, the other struggling greatly to let that nature show. Together it showed in both of them easily. It was a true love story from beginning to end. That's all I got to say about that.

[@LordVolkov]

"Like an old school Airbnb" 😅 The bnb in Airbnb used to be an abbreviation for bed & breakfast, only one of which Airbnbs generally provide for guests, making the name something of a misnomer. Renting rooms was pretty common for widows and spinsters, and given the size of the Gump's plantation 😬, Mrs Gump probably did alright.

[@bobbuethe1477]

Right. "Boarding house" was the more common name back then.

[@hephner78]

Also, Jenny was played by the same woman who plays Princess Buttercup in The Princess Bride

[@JonathanH1253]

The actor that plays Lt. Dan is Gary Sinise. He never served in the military, but he runs a non profit organization that serves veterans and first responders. His non profit organization is called the Gary Sinise Foundation, he also has a band called the Lt. Dan Band that performs for active military, veterans, and first responders.

[@ShreeNation]

Damn that is amazing!

[@shainewhite2781]

Winner of 6 Oscars including Best Picture.

[@ubit397]

Generally speaking, I'm not much for schmaltzy heart tugging Hollywood movies, but there's a special place in my heart for this one. My jaded cynicism takes a back seat whenever this is on and I enjoy it everytime I see it. Another great reaction. I do so enjoy your humor and insight. Even your manner of speech is enjoyable. For this film in particular, it was refreshing to see someone who possesses enough emotional intelligence to understand Jenny and not shit all over her as if she were a villain. Well done! ❤

[@ShreeNation]

Thank you so much :)

[@michellekeyes1507]

Jenny's father taught her love hurts and she needs that to feel whole. Forrest is the opposite, which is why she thinks he 'don't know what love is'. It's not a belief she doesn't 'deserve' love, she is protecting him from her version of love.

[@lethaldose2000]

Hey Shree, Your breakdown of the hidden themes that can be found in the movie is so true. Forrest, in his SIMPLICITY, represents everything we COULD be if we just make the best of everything life gives us. Obviously, he's so good-natured that he's almost too good to be true. Big shout out to your homie Nick. Forrest makes me want to be a better human being to almost everyone I encounter.

[@ShreeNation]

lt Dan was played by Gary Sinise, who also plays John Coffee's lawyer that Paul visits in The Green Mile

Oh yeah!

[@richardrobbins8067]

After this film Gary started a project to help wounded veterans.

[@lethaldose2000]

HEy Shree, the events of the U.S. presidents throughout the movie are used as a time tool stamp by the writer to let the audience know where we are without having to say the date. From President Kennedy to Geroge McGovern, To Nickson and Watergate, to Jimmy Carter fainting, to Regan's assassination attempt. If you were old enough to have lived through all those events you would know exactly where in time those events took place. If you are younger and watching this movie or reading the book. It would give you the incentive to do research to understand the time periods.

[@ShreeNation]

Thank you, will definitely research these events :)

[@59elgreco]

@@ShreeNation Thanks for watching and see you on your next reaction

[@ctidd]

Hi Shree, fantastic reaction, thank you. I really appreciate your empathy and compassion for Jenny and Lt. Dan. They were both broken people who were blessed to have Forrest in their life. My take on the assassinations that keep happening is that they’re there to set the time period and the background feeling for the story. This movie takes place from the 50s to the 80s. Forrest and Jenny were in the heart of the baby boomer generation. I think the historical events were the hook that pulled a lot of people in emotionally to a really fantastical story.

[@ShreeNation]

Thank you :)

[@lethaldose2000]

Shree, your comment on Jenny made me laugh in such a serious moment. Shree: "Jenny, you're not a bird, stop trying to be one." That's what this movie does, adds a touch of humor to moments that are otherwise deadly serious. In order to make these very difficult subjects platable enough for us to discuss. I believe this was a deliberate device used in the book writer's cadence.

[@2971username]

According to Tom Hanks, this is what Forest said at protest speech, “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.”

[@lazyperfectionist1]

I once bought this movie on VHS. The tape came with a booklet of "Gumpisms." One of them said something along the lines of, "Never let _anyone_ make a movie out of your life story."

[@johan7170]

Because of the way she was abused by herfather when she was a kid, Jenny has always felt she was worth nothing and because of that, she adopted a self-destructing attitude (and she choosed guys who disrespected her, always finding 'em some excuses). The reason she rejected Forrest was to protect him : She knew that if she had allowed him to be part of her life, her life-stile would have destroyed him so she sacrificed her feelings for him to protect him. Only when she had her life stabilised did she allowed him to be a part of it. And the reason why Lt Dan. doesn't allow anyone to insult Forrest is that he knows that, even if he's pissed that because of Forrest he has to live as a crippled man, he knows that Forrest did it out of good heart and he knows that Forrest is a good person, someone who will always be there to help him and never ask for anything in return.

[@apatternedhorizon]

In the novel Forrest and lt. Dan actually become astronauts. And his speech was "Sometimes when people go to Vietnam, they go home to their mommas without any legs. Sometimes they don't go home at all."

[@ShreeNation]

Aww that was a touching speech 🥺😢

[@Chamomileable]

A klick is military jargon for a kilometer. 10 klicks is 10 kilometers. It originated in Vietnam with the Australian military but is commonly used in any English-speaking country's infantry now. What Lt. Dan goes through is actually very common among survivors. It's an incredible weight of guilt in knowing that you lived but so many people you cared about were taken, and that feeling of "What did I do to deserve my life when such good people were taken?". Dan's resolution and marrying an Asian-American woman is also a sort of small detail that points to his reconciliation with Vietnam. Many veterans who witnessed horrors in Vietnam began to harbor an anti-Asian sentiment after returning. The experience Gary Sinise (Lt. Dan) had during this movie led him to do amazing charity work for veterans. He's a real stand-up guy. EDIT: I also like the extremely minor detail that the bus driver Dorothy has quit smoking and started chewing gum instead between the time Forrest Sr. was going to school and when Forrest Jr. starts school.

[@ShreeNation]

Thank you for the info, and omg i didn't notice the detail of the driver chewing gum, that's awesome :)

[@thejamppa]

"If you're ever a shrimp boat captain, that's the day I'm an astronaut" I mean... a year later Sinise acted with Hanks in Apollo 13... A film you should aso watch sometimes.

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

You're the first reactor to echo my thought that Forrest sat on that stump all day waiting for his son to come home. And one of the few who didn't hate on Jenny, realizing that her childhood caused her to treat Forrest the way she did.

[@BudhagRizzo]

It's alluded to that Jenny died of HIV because of the time period, but I think either Robert Semeckis or the writers later stated that she actually died of Hepatitis from her drug use. Jenny's story is tragic. No self worth. Self destructive. Felt she was only worthy of abusive relationships. The birth of little Forrest was probably what finally made her look at herself positively.

[@nathan8590]

Gary Sinese played Lt. Dan. Over the years, he visited troops and veterans as "Lt. Dan" and also helped to raise money for them and their families.

A "click" is slang for a kilometer. The "pig" is slang for the M-60 (machine gun). Lieutenant Dan was experiencing PTSD related survivor's guilt. Rice paddies and the adjacent irrigation ditches are feces, snake, mosquito, and leach infested. Forrest and his unit were operating in the Mekong Delta (wetlands, swamps, and marshes). Lastly, the monsoon season afforded GI's relative safety because of the flooding and submerged terrain. Bad weather will literally cease all combat operations.

[@johnsmathers190]

It was hepatitis C. There is a video, revealing what she died from, finally. That's why the little boy was OK.

"Something bit me" is pretty accurate. Being stabbed hurts worse than being shot and a lot of the time depending on the gun it can feel like a bee sting or a kick from a booted foot

[@willbeonekenobi]

A 'click' in terms of distance means 'kilometer' So @20:00 when you hear they have '10 clicks to go to the river', it means they have 10 kilometers to go to the river. In American terms, 1 kilometer is equivalent to around 0.62 miles.

[@heatsinker_5517]

Right, just hit the pause button, I'm interested in what you have to say Shree, but your missing important dialogue. And even though I wish they would play a song all the way through before talking about it, even most music reactors would pause a song and even go back a few seconds, which I appreciate.

[@sharronbrennon899]

My dad was in the ARMY reserves. 10 clicks is 10 kilometres. A kilometre is a thousand metres so 10 kilometres is 10,000 metres. And 0800 hours is 8am 800 hours is 8pm

She went on a legit 5 minute rambling spree during the dinner at the Palace where theyre talking about the cult. Then it took her to almost the end of the movie to realize the movie wasnt stereotyping Indians, but it was because they were in an evil cult!!!!

19:16 And here, Forrest meets Lt. Dan Taylor for the first time. When Lt. Dan first steps out of his tent, he sees the two of them and says, "You must be my new FNGs." I didn't know that particular acronym when I first heard it. Turns out, it's not an officially established military term. It stands for "F*cking New Guys." _Every_ military command has a generally unflattering nickname for the new guy, because odds are, this guy has a higher than average tendency not to know where anything _is_ or how anything _works._

When it's mentioned about John F. Kennedy being shot while riding in his car, that was during a visit to Dallas, TX in 1963. His "little brother", as Forrest called him, was Senator Robert F. Kennedy, who was apparently the attorney general during his brother's time as president. In 1968, it looked like he was going to receive the Democrat nomination for that year's presidential election. However, shortly after giving what seemed like a triumphant speech at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, he was tragically gunned down after trying to leave through the hotel's kitchen.

48:30 that really cracks me up, because of a sticker I saw posted recently in a public restroom.

Do what I tell you, instead!"

[@LorraineVirginie]

Just something to think on… Please try not to perpetuate the “you can’t love anyone else/be loved til you love yourself” thing. There are a lot of pieces to Jennie’s character… but it simply isn’t true. People who are damaged are loved all the time, and love others, wholly. Perpetuating this idea takes hope away from those of us who don’t love ourselves. There are so many of us out here and we deserve love, too… and many of us already have never felt it or believe we will never feel it. It’s extra hurtful to hear it followed by something along the lines of “if you’re damaged at a young age the trauma might be too much to ever fully overcome”. I highly doubt that’s what you meant to say but it ends up sounding like there’s simply no hope for some people to ever experience love. It’s not a fun message to hear. Sincerely, someone working really hard at trying to love herself.

[@andromeda331]

I love this movie. Forrest, Jenny and Lt. Dan are such great characters. Jenny and Lt. Dan were damaged and it effected them for a long time. I love that they both overcame it and were happy. For Jenny motherhood is what gave her that and Lt. Dan shrimp business. I love how kind Forrest is to everyone. I love that he didn't forget Bubba and gave his share of money to his mother. Forrest Jr is so adorable.

Thanks for displaying empathy for Jenny. Cuz, as a film, Forrest Gump has what I call the "Jenny Problem" -- an obvious contempt for the smartest and most open-minded character in the story. The film turns her into a villain, or at least an antagonist, to constantly remind us how innocent Forrest is. I've seen other KZbin reactions, and people absolutely hate her. That's the film's fault. The screenwriter seems to have a clear attitude about people like Jenny... and they're misguided and shallow, think. Meanwhile, Forrest stumbles through history, "crushing it American style" -- at one point even be celebrated for his part in the Vietnam War. Let's be clear, the Vietnam War had no heroes. It was started and waged for years based on lies, but don't tell Forrest that.. You can't tell him. AND that's just how Uncle Sam prefers 'em -- dumb and ready to comply. Forrest remains oblivious thru it all, not unlike oblivious Americans who seem to also get points these days by being simple-minded. That's the real metaphor of the movie - celebrate the sheep while the open-minded, drug using, std having, trauma victims, are the wicked -- the villains. They're not, and the movie's attitudes about them are wrong-headed. Jenny didn't "lead-on" Forrest or even treat him poorly. She was, in part, trying to protect him.. but also -- protecting herself... it's not her responsibility to love him back. Also, she didn't avoid telling Forrest about their son together. Forrest was physically unavailable as he was running around the country for 3.5 years.

Don't know if anyone has answered your question yet, the speech he makes at the protest is "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."

A "CLICK" is a KILOMETER.

Fearless 1993 A man's personality is dramatically changed after surviving a major airline crash. -----

The assassinations are there to give the viewer timeline exposition. JFK = 1963, Gerald Ford = mid '70s, Reagan = 1981

I'm new to your channel. Thank you for your analysis on this movie. Look forward to new reactions.

[@ShreeNation]

Thank you so much ❤

My mom's ex husband is an army vet who was deployed to Vietnam 6 times and got jungle rot a bunch of times he told me all about that.

I used to wonder why they got kicked out of the black panther group. I can only think they all 3 got kicked out. Notice when Forest is beating ass, the one black panther dude holds everyone else back, like he knows the dude deserves to get his ass whooped 😅

A bit late to the party here, but notice the seating for Forrest and Jenny's wedding: Lt Dan is standing but his wife is seated. Film conspiracy theory says that Forrest knew they were coming, but not that Lt Dan had prosthetic legs. Thus, there was seating for everyone, but they anticipated Lt Dan being in a wheelchair. EASTER EGG!

[@ShreeNation]

Haha nice catch!

[@thescope2798]

Hello Beautiful, nice to see you reacting again, this is one of Tom Hanks masterpieces I think the whole point of this movie is that no matter what your limitations are in life you can accomplish anything with the right attitude life is what you make it Forrest had a strength, and for him and Bubba having low IQs they seemed to function better than people who had no limitations... anyways Im so glad you enjoyed this movie, I also loved Curious George and the Man in the yellow hat, when I was a kid, did you ever read the book "Where the Wild things are"? Still waiting for you to react to "Fire in the sky" and Mel Gibson's "Apocalypto" until then God Bless and stay Beautiful 😍

[@ShreeNation]

No i haven't, i will read it now :) Thanks will definitely watch these 2 films!

[@meropemerope6096]

13:42 yeah

[@SnabbKassa]

It's accurate. I got rich. It feels the same as being not rich. Forrest still just wants the first girl he loved at school, and so do I.

[@ShreeNation]

Aww 😢

[@danv9872]

That picture you put up. You should watch the big short, cool movie

[@justinchristoph3725]

20:06 A "Klick" is a kilometer.

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

LOL no, this is not a true story. It is an absurdist-comedy novel written by Winston Groom. The film decided to alter its events and presentation to make it 'A Triumpn Of The Human Spirit" and 'The Feel-Good Hit Of The Summer." But yeah, originally it was just a comedy about a goofball who got into all kinds of crazy adventures. They left out the parts where he was sent into space with a gorilla, and featured as the monster in a horror flick starring Raquel Welch.

This is one amazing film I don't think Thom hanks has made a bad film since this one
