TOP "I MISS YOU, JENNY" Reactions! Forrest Gump (1994) Movie Reaction *First Time Watching*

[@tomh3652]

My wife of 40 years died last year at age 60. Its hurts so much I feel just like Forrest does in this video. The pain will never go away being alone now until Im with her again. I hope it will be sooner rather than later.

[@zeller3228]

take care brother. sending you love. she would want you to play out your hand with honor. i'm not there yet, but we are getting close.

[@Tinadajo]

Tom, your destiny was to be her husband. Consider yourself blessed - because many people never experience that kind of love and devotion.

[@BeldonStanaford-gd5lq]

My heart breaks for you Brother. I can't imagine your pain. I too am blessed to Have my angel,, since Childhood.. Unlike poor Forrest,, She's always been my devoted Second right arm. I have inadequate words to express my Thanks to GOD,, for my precious gift of my Sweetest Love,, our Children, and Grandchildren. I'm afraid I have no advise, nor special words of ease for you, other than to say,, I too would be a puddle of Lost without my Angel. I pray that GOD gives you strength,, some comfort, and peace,, until you can be reunited with your Angel my friend. Hang in my Brother,, for in Paradise, There is NO SEPERATION.

"you died on a saturday morning" gets me EVERYTIME, impossible to not choke up

[@RichardEyring]

Never thought Jenny was a 'villian' yes she mistreated Forrest terribly but remember she was terribly abused as a child and even admitted she'd been messed up; told him you don't want to love me Forrest

[@TheOrlandoTrustfull]

She also knowingly gave him AIDs, If there was a "Forrest Gump 2", it would be Forrest dying slowly.

[@haddow777]

One of the things I love about this movie is that they are actually playing out a role reversal. On the surface, Forrest seems to be the damaged one, limited by conditions outside his control, the one to be pitied. Ultimately though, once you look beyond the surface to the inside of the characters, Jenny and Forrest actually switch places. Jenny is the broken one. Damaged not by birth, but by events in her life outside of her control. She ends up being limited by the psychological damage of her past. She's self destructive, never accepting anything good in her life because she doesn't feel she deserves it. Always seeking out abusive relationships, because that is what she knows. Meanwhile, Forrest is never actually limited. No matter what he puts his mind to, he succeeds. He excels. On the surface, Forrest appears to be the one we should pity. Ultimately though, Jenny was the one to be pitied.

no excuses, she was a terrible person

For those who have not experienced sexual abuse or molestation. Then you honestly have no idea what carrying that around can do to you mentally Having experienced that as a man. From men for many years Yes it can and will effect your decision making Some of us use it to find strength. Others go down a dark path Jenny went down the dark path. And finally in the end.

The actor that played his son, had 2 great performances on his resume before becoming a teen, Gump & Sixth sense, wonder where is he now?

[@tomclark362]

Whether you think jenny is a villain or a victim, one thing that isn't in doubt is the fact that her death is one of the hardest hitting moments in film.

[@sprehno]

I feel bad for Forest in this moment! Not necessarily that Jenny died but that it hurts Forest she’s gone!

[@maxacorn]

people don't get that the reason jenny never stuck around forest was because she felt she didn't deserve him. SA victims will often think they did something wrong, that they deserved what happened to them and that they don't deserve happiness. jenny felt she wasn't worthy of forest and his pure love for her. she stayed away from him as to not let her own darkness corrupt his light. it was only after becoming a mom that she was able to come to terms with her own darkness and learned to love herself again. and thus allowed herself to be worthy to be loved by forest properly.

[@Shyning77]

Thank you for this comment, you got it.

[@ChosenOne1991]

That's straight BS. She never saw him as a man. She always felt he was missing something or was a lil slow. Treating him more like a child or lil brother. After she got ran through. She came back to pity fuck him. Then leaves having his kid keeping him away from Forest for 5 years. Then comes back to marry him when she's dying from aids. Only to get comfort & not be alone in her last days. Knowing Forest will do anything for her. Not even considering the emotional toll & damage it would do to him. If she was concerned about who would take care of their son. She could have just dropped him off & leave. An go die in secret privately. An to say well she's a victim of sexual abuse. Yes she is, but it didn't give her the right to treat the one person who genuinely loved her like that. I know other people in real life who been through much worse than Jenny & they never did shit like that. Especially to a loved one.

[@shotgunnerB]

Thank you for putting these clips together!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👍😎

[@JamesJaeger-qr9gb]

People Jenny and her sisters were sexually assaulted by a drunken father. She was broken she needed time to heal and Forrest was part of that healing over the years. She was not a villain but a victim.

[@xyPERSON]

Thank you James! It seems as if you, me, and maybe some other people are in the minority about Jenny not being a villain because I have been trying to say this for the longest time and yet so many people choose to label her as a villain. Like you said, she was broken for much of her life but deep down she was not a bad person. She made mistakes and for a long time did not realize how blessed she was to have someone like Forrest in her life but it was painfully clear by the end of the film she finally came to that realization.

[@بشیرنعمانی]

​@@xyPERSON I understand that but y'all should understand that she never was interested him in a romantic way. But Forrest right from the start was in love. She always saw him and treated him as a child. So everything she did for him was out of pity. she did understand that she was toxic person so when forrest proposed to her she says "you don't wanna marry me" she didn't want to use his innocence but she did. And i believe that's the point of her character ❤

[@Shyning77]

That, and I always felt she was protecting him from her being a mess. She thought she wasn't worth him (like how an abused person would feel) and that she would inevitably corrupt his happiness and innocence.

[@patriciaroberts308]

The people who are convinced that Jenny is a villain are the people have never been through Jenny's trauma, therefore they cannot possibly think like or understand Jenny is a victim from young childhood. Those of us who actually know her trauma firsthand, know Jenny as the victim she is, and understands why Jenny behaves the way she does. In the end, both big Forrest and little Forrest save Jenny, even for a short time. Jenny did the very best she could with her life after her whole life was forever altered by that evil creature...Her "Dad"/"stepDad" 💔

[@sticest]

Anyone else notice this is an AI "reacting to content?"

[@kakaroto311]

Forest: "You died on a Sunday...." Me: "Nyahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

[@JoshSmith-wo7zw]

Jenny wasn't a villain you have to remember she was sexually abused by her father and Forest knew that what he did to her wasn't right

[@ChosenOne1991]

So that gave her the right to treat the one person the only person who ever genuinely loved her like a inanimate object. Like he was less than or half a man. All cuz he was different. Goes on a sex parade getting ran through by any & everyone. Drugged up junkie. Then gets pregnant keeps his kid away from him for 5 years. Then catches Aids then comes back to him. Only when she needs him. I know other victims in real life who were abused & they never did shit like that. Especially to loved ones. An wtf r u talking about Forest didn't know what her dad did to her. He was oblivious to that fact. Watch the movie again. He thought her dad was just playful & like to hug her.

[@tomclark362]

Jenny fucks him after he proposes and then LEAVES! That makes her the villain.

@@christiancarranza1003 I'm pretty sure Joseph was not trying to imply that empathy is a bad thing. Rather, I think he was making two separate comparisons: 1) the Internet can be used for good instead of evil, and 2) the Internet can be used to show empathy (being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings of others) rather than being used to polarize (divide people into sharply opposing factions).

Jenny was a monster, she used that man over and over until she brought home a child he might not be his. She’s the perfect modern woman, strong…she didn’t need a man unless she could use him.

[@CodeBleu724]

Jenny pawned this poor kid off to Forrest to take care of him because she knew she was dying...and Forrest, for his mental shortcomings, was the most stable guy she knew. She got knocked up by one of those abusive men and told Forrest that he was his because she presumed he was dumb enough to fall for it. Paternity fraud happens more often than we all care to admit. That's why women lose their minds at the thought of mandatory DNA testing.

Often, when horrid things happen to people, especially when they're very young, it changes the trajectory of their adult life. You may have thought she was horrible when she was messed up, but she was actually protecting Forrest. She knew she was not in a good place and not right for him at that time.

[@jeffstrom164]

@michaelf8702 A person's past doesn't excuse thier bad behavior. She never protected Forrest from anything. She molested him, used him, and dumped a kid on him. She did a number of bad things and none of them were the fault of anybody but herself. She was a bad person who did bad things to a mentally challenged person. I hate her character and wasn't sad to see her go.

[@DeAngeloBertDavis]

Dude she was sexually abused by her dad from a very young age. She had NO ideal what real love was which is why it wasn’t until she got clean and experienced real love by having a child of her own could she finally appreciate and reciprocate love for Forrest.

[@jeffstrom164]

@DeAngeloBertDavis Her past does not excuse her bad behavior. It does not matter that she was abused. It does matter that she abused others. She had the ability to not repeat the behaviors of her father. Nobody forced her to abuse drugs, she chose to. If a guy molested a mentally challenged girl would you say he wasn't a horrible person? Flip the genders on all she did. Do you still feel that the Forrest that gets the mentally challenged neighbor girl pregnant, then runs off to do drugs and have orgies until he dies of Aids, and finally leaves the kid to the mentally challenged girl he molested to raise alone, is a good person?
