What’s the movie Forrest Gump about?
Stupid is as stupid does, says Forrest Gump (played by Tom Hanks in an Oscar-winning performance) as he discusses his relative level of intelligence with a stranger while waiting for a bus. Despite his sub-normal IQ, Gump leads a truly charmed life, with a ringside seat for many of the most memorable events of the second half of the 20th century. Entirely without trying, Forrest teaches Elvis Presley to dance, becomes a football star, meets John F. Kennedy, serves with honor in Vietnam, meets Lyndon Johnson, speaks at an anti-war rally at the Washington Monument, hangs out with the Yippies, defeats the Chinese national team in table tennis, meets Richard Nixon, discovers the break-in at the Watergate, opens a profitable shrimping business, becomes an original investor in Apple Computers, and decides to run back and forth across the country for several years. Meanwhile, as the remarkable parade of his life goes by, Forrest never forgets Jenny (Robin Wright Penn), the girl he loved as a boy, who makes her own journey through the turbulence of the 1960s and 1970s that is far more troubled than the path Forrest happens upon. Featured alongside Tom Hanks are Sally Field as Forrest's mother, Gary Sinise as his commanding officer in Vietnam, Mykelti Williamson as his ill-fated Army buddy who is familiar with every recipe that involves shrimp, and the special effects artists whose digital magic place Forrest amidst a remarkable array of historical events and people.

"Is he smart or ..." - one of the most heartbreaking moments in the whole movie.
“Is he smart or.. does does he play fortnite 😓”
The way he delivered those lines.. OUTSTANDING acting
" He Sees Dead People "
Haley Joel Osment
The Sixth Sense .
I saw it in the theatre. And I remember that line above everything else. All these years.
....... Moments in the entire movie history
What breaks my heart in this scene is Forrest asking if his son is smart.
Forrest knows he’s disabled. And he doesn’t want that life for his son. A life of mockery or pain.
I never saw any disability. Hed just a guy who did things other people would Not do. He sees the world different and because society expects people to be a certain way , it makes people like gump viewed as disabled
My name is Eric Lopez and I was diagnosed with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) at 26 years old. I have researched my diagnoses. With Tom Hanks character, Forrest Gump. It's been fan-made, that Forrest Gump has autism. Not Mental Retardation. So the reason why he asked if his son was smart and not mentally challenged was that autism is not genetic. You're just born with it.
This scene was terrible.
Im not crying, you're crying!
@@Ericson1305 autism is genetic but not always. Sometimes your parents might not have it but your grandparents or great grandparents had it. This is simply because of a set of markers in your DNA known as genes and if they're active then you have a higher chance of developing the disorder. Now if isn't active but you still carry a gene for it then chances are your children might be born with active genes that causes them to have a higher chance of developing it.
I got something known as "Autism 15" or "PDD-NOS" (now more widely known as Atypical Autism) which is linked to the CNTNAP2 gene. This particular gene is in charge of protein, speech and language development. It is also associated with neurodevelopmental disorders like Gilles de la Tourette syndrome, Schizophrenia, Epilepsy, Autism, ADHD and intellectual disability.
But when you research it online it do say that it is rarely genetic and caused by a particular gene.
Instead it is most likely just something that one is born with which is pretty much always the case.
In recent years, researchers have linked Autism to be genetically passed down from parent to child.
But sometimes it skips generations and they're left with an inactive gene that is passed down.
That's why the parents of a child with Autism might not have any symptoms because if it is indeed genetic the gene is not active therefore it does not affect the parents.
I deeply apologize for such a long paragraph sir and hope that you did not take any offense to my comment.
Have a splendid day and stay safe during the pandemic.
@@deborahthompson6248 he was viewed as disabled because of his legs and his tests below that IQ range of "normal" kids. That's why, his mother went beyond to try getting him enrolled in a school not for the special kids.. did you watch rhis movie?
The fact that Forrest was self-aware enough to wonder if anything he did was wrong and to have Jenny let him know that he didn't force anything on her, that made the movie that much more intensely human.
It is not about that. He is overwhelmed by the out of nowhere fatherhood so she reassured him. Because he is the vulnerable one.
@@clarence5380 , I think it is that as well.
@@Panwere36 sorry if i misunderstood your comment :)
@@clarence5380 i think it is both
Yeah, that's how I always interpreted it as well. She had been abused all her life, and now he was afraid perhaps he had done something bad, too. Really lovely moment, because it shows how good his heart is, and also how much they knew each other.
I think one of the sweetest things is when he says, “He got a daddy named Forrest too?”
He wasn’t jealous. He was so excited to hear about another Forrest, because he was simple enough to find that fascinating. Jenny had become a mother. He was looking at her child, who happened to share his name. He was happy for her. Had he not been his child, that would have been okay. He still would have been happy.
Forrest was such a good person that seeing Jenny happy, even if not with him, made him happy. I think that showed his own growth as a person. Idk if he would have reacted the same when he was younger.
Absolutely. Thank you for pointing this out in particular as I've personally felt that some people tend of overlook Forrest's own character arc, and some even say he doesn't develop at all when anyone that not only watches the film, but also pay attention to specific scenes will prove that he definitely develops as a character.
At the start and middle-half of the film, although his love for Jenny is pure and wants nothing but the best for her along with the fact that when it comes to male figures in her life Forrest remains to be the most positive, in some ways he acted a bit unintentionally selfish at times when it came to wanting Jenny to reciprocate his love while Jenny herself couldn't exactly do that for a multitude of reasons which involve her emotional and sexual trauma. Along with the fears of intentionally hurting her best friend from childhood, or hurting him so much in a way that would be incredibly hard to recover from for the both of them.
As the film progresses and both Forrest and Jenny properly have their final reunion together with Jenny practically glowing and overcoming her trauma, Forrest seemed to have properly come to terms with the idea of Jenny moving on even if he still loved her-- he wanted her to be happy like he always have been, but this time he didn't mind her being happy with someone else. He was happy and curious seeing Jenny becoming a mother and possibly having another man in her life with the same name as Forrest himself. Whether or not that Forrest Jr. would've turned out to be his child, he'd still be happy for her.
Forrest had not only developed so much when it had come to his achievements in life, he had learned so much over meeting many kinds of people in his life as much as they'd learn from him. He has shown so much emotional growth and I'm surprised it often gets overlooked. As a character, he has/had flaws that wasn't exclusive to his intelligence, but I feel they're definitely much more subtle. And it doesn't make him a bad person for it at all -- none of the characters are bad people.
I dont know he slugged that guy in his car at Jenny's college in the rain that one time before she gave forest a Handy.....
@@jonmacdonald5345 Wasn't that because he misunderstood and though he was attacking her?
That's what real love is. I want nothing but your happiness. And in those cases it becomes a, I'm happy that you are, and I wish it was with me, but I'm okay that it's not because at least you're doing good. That's true love.
Family Guy has the best description of this. Jenny is a lying cheat.
The fact that Forrest was self aware the entire time, and didn't lash out at rude people, that's a life lesson right there
@Dr. Red eye He was nice to everyone, but how did "everyone" take advantage of him? I actually can't recall a single person "abusing" Gump. The only exception was Jenny, but that's a whole separate issue of the cycle of abuse. If anything, that's the exception that proves the rule, as we see how Jenny broke the cycle of abuse with Gump's love and support. So yes, it's a huge life lesson.
Forrest offers grace with no strings attached everywhere he goes and with almost everyone he meets.
The very smart people are the ones destined for doom, a doom of their own making, a doom they are running toward with a self destructive obsession...yet Forrest saves Dan and Jennie.
I liked the screenplay better than Winston's book. I know Winston, as he was a neighbor in Point Clear, and I liked this book. However I liked Gump better in the movie.
thats smart
Agreed
There is a lot more "dumb" people that are self aware than people think. I know because I am, my grades at school were super low, I have no degree, I'm uncultured, I'm not even good at strategic video games, I'm currently unemployed, my mind is sometimes elsewhere during a conversation, I can't take any decision without asking myself if it will have a good or bad impact as obvious as the whatever decision can be, and because of that, people rarely trust my judgement. However I'm lucky to have some friends who are ok with who I am, and I feel like hanging out with smart friends also helps a lot. Also, having movies like Forrest Gump that directly talk to you really helps too. But I've came to the conclusion that people still have very blurish conceptions on what is smart and what is dumb, so when people tell me that I'm dumb, I don't really care much, I know what I'm capable and not capable of, and I know what I need to and/or can improve on myself.
I'll never forget when I watched this in the theater, after she told him that she named him after his daddy...someone in the audience screamed out, "RUN FORREST, RUN!"
The whole theater was screaming in laughter.
O,f so funny hehehe I would have spit out my soda
He got a Daddy named Forest too😂🤣😂🤣😂
lol
What an awful way to ruin one of the most poignant scenes in this incredible movie.
@@crispinjulius5032 the person that screamed that and those that found it funny did not get as much out of the movie as you ✌️
Breaks my heart that Forrest was worried little Forrest would end up like him. But Forrest was a genius and the world would be lucky to have more people like him
He wasn't a genius. He was a good-hearted, loving, caring, and likable person who, despite his adversities, was positive at life, and life was positive back at him.

My wife and I went to see this in the theater while on our honeymoon in 1994. I recall thinking it was a pretty good movie up until this point; but when this scene came on, I was just wrecked. Absolutely spectacular writing and acting here by all involved. Unforgettable...
@Rob 28 years and counting. Thanks! 😀
@Rob we had our 40th in August. Two grown sons, one son-in-law, and no grandkids (yet). And he’s the finest person I’ve ever been lucky enough to know. We’re both battling COVID (if this is as sick as you get while vaccinated, I’d hate to see how sick you get while UNvaccinated). As sick as we’ve both been, he’s still looking out for me. I’m a very lucky woman! And P, thanks for sticking with me! I love you so much!
@Rob that’s why we’ll likely need a booster yearly. XBB also seems to attack without regard to the antibodies from vaccines. That’s the big fear. That there will be a pathogen that can do this widespread, and kill millions in the process. What helped us is the Rx’s we got for anti-virals (paxlovid et al). We’re still sick, but so much better after three days of medication. My cough is nearly gone, my hubby’s fever and sore throat are gone. We’ll be okay. Thank goodness for those medications!
Absolutely, spectacular writing and acting by a wonderful movie.
I held it together pretty good until this scene and then the leaky eye problem started LOL --- I also got the leaks again when Forrest was speaking at Jenny's grave
“He’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen...but..is he smart, or...” - one of the most touching lines that I’ve ever heard in a long time.
He was aware of his disability the whole time 😢
@@EchoTravelsUSA he was so pure and innocent 😥
@@EchoTravelsUSA to me it had more to do with the fact that everything everyone said finally got to him once he saw his child & it hit him instantly that he doesn’t want his son to go through what he had/has to deal with throughout his life. so touching🥲
@@kelceynicole He even earlier says "I may not be a smart man...", so he knew all along.
"He's the top of his class" is a clear giveaway that Jenny lied about the father
“He got a daddy named Forrest too” cracks me up everytime 😭😂
Her response to that sends me over the top
funny but very sad at the same time :,)
It could be a coincidence. 😅
You know I think he realizes it is him before she confirms it. You can see his face drop right after he says that, and it doesn't change when she says he's the father. It's momentary confusion and he realizes it first.
Poor Forrest. I wonder if he would have figured it out one day.
Casting Robin Wright for this part was pure genius. One of the most underrated actors around.
I know right?! I loved her in the princess bride and all the action movies with Bruce Willis
This is the moment when Forest’s strength of character shows here; he isn’t just some stupid idiot who has stumbled blindly through life; he’s fully aware of his short comings other people laugh at him for.
Very well done movie; no matter how corny or meme worthy it may be, this is an exceptional story and movie.

Imagine if his son became anything like him. That would be a blessing.
@Odin Thoth "every 60 seconds in Africa a minute passes"
That moment is so heartbreaking because it confirms that he is, and has always been, completely self-aware of his mental limitations. Every rude remark, every slight, every time he was patronized or stereotyped… He knew it. And yet he has managed to remain a kind and warm human being despite dealing with all of that for his entire life.
she knew he'd be ok, she already knew her diagnosis, this is so touching
Only great actors like Tom Hanks can transmit powerful feelings with few or no words at all.
Camera work is also perfect.
not really the film is based on script not acting, as if like its a james bond film where you have 10 actors playing forrest gump.
the actor does what the role is required to do...as if like John Travolta or anyone else wouldn't have done the same ? and tom hanks weren't even selected in top 10 actors to play the role, the first one was john travolta but he didn't do it and went to pulp fiction.

the actor does what the director and script tells them to do.
@@Gencturk92 actor is the one who is not dependent On script
And by not depending On script i mean that he Should be able to play anykind of script and thats what Makes an actor great
And the person we Are talking about is one of the greatest,,,

Such as Nassruddin shah Irfan khan helit ergec
These actor lived their roles
Now come to direction ofc movie is all about direction,
But When we say that the following is the greatest or one of great, we say it on the basis of their verstality or stage presence or their chrisma
And here tok hanks Is the mix of All these

And who to not
And hwen u say that hanks was not even top 10n, are u seriously saying this knowing that tomhanks was one of the most famous actor of that time or u are just saying this depending your knowledge on some dumb yt video
Unless u have lived in 90s, knock it off
This already look dumb thay 10 actors Rejected then hanks came lol
Really wana know the Source behind this nonsense
"Is he smart, or is he....", gets me every time. Even after everything Forrest accomplished in his life, he still saw himself as not intelligent, and was worried his son would be like him.
Jenny’s intelligence combined with Forest Gump’s eye hand coordination and speed endurance is gonna be a scary combo.
😢 gets me everytime
@@talentlesscommenter1329 how is Jenny smart???
@@talentlesscommenter1329 Forrest was a savant which is a special condition that doesn't inherit through genes. Jenny is not specifically intelligent by any means, I mean she is average. Their son's intelligence is likely to come from Forrest side without the Autism disorder.
@@talentlesscommenter1329
"Jenny's intelligence" That's a good joke.
Forest achieved everything a man can possibly achieve, yet he does not want his kid to be labeled dumb... Powerful...
Everyone told him he was dumb, stupid etc all his life and he had braces on his legs which he never really needed. It failed to stop him from accomplishing greatness but it must have hurt inside being dismissed as being dumb etc. Therefore he couldn’t stand the idea of his son going through that same prejudice etc.
This movie is alongside its greatness pretty much Friend Zoning 101.
I consider myself to be of above average intelligence, but I still live a pretty typical middle-class life. I haven't had even 1/10th of the unbelievable luck that dumb Forrest did.
Forrest was a beta male being constantly used by a woman who was chasing Chad. She gets pregnant with the beta male and doesn't tell the father until she is about dead. She is the villain of the movie and forest is a mess

When Jenny tells Forest that his son is the smartest in his class - the pride on his face is priceless ..... I love this film xxx
The most restrained yet adequate acting.. I think we can call it perfect though there is nothing called perfect in respect to acting !!
I thought the look on his face was relief. He was relieved that he did not contribute to a child being born that would have the same disability as him because he knows how hard his life has been with lower than normal intelligence.
It's not his child smh 🤦🏾♂️

For everything he lacked in intelligence, Forrest made up for in Character. His unconditional compassion and love. I don’t think I’d ever forgive a woman that hid a pregnancy from me and had the kid and waited 5 years to tell me. Yet Forrest only cared about their well being and not the precious time he lost with his son.

I think the point ist, that this happens to a person who does not strive for all that money or glory.
Someone who would have been completely happy with a less paying job and a family.
2:08 - 2:20. Watch closely. His expression changes so subtly you hardly notice any movement at all, but Mr. Hanks conveys the shift from wonder to shock so profoundly you feel it in the pit of your stomach.
THAT is an actor of very high caliber.
2:40 as someone who deals with autism and has a son this scene hits me so hard because I asked the same question. “Is he normal or is like…….me”. He’s only 2 now so it’s hard to tell. He has a speech delay but he’s above average in pattern recognition, empathy, and he seems more mechanically minded so it’s likely he isn’t according to his doctor. Even if he was I’d still think of him as the most beautiful little boy in the world. But like Forrest here, I wouldn’t wish my condition on him. I know how lonely life is when growing up with this disease. You lose friends fast, you make a lot of people mad with your odd behaviors, spend a lot of time alone wondering why you were even born because all you seem to be to anyone is a burden and you wish you could just be like everyone else. So seeing Forrest with such mixed emotions on the verge of tears really got me deep down. Like being terrified and excited at the same time. A beautiful scene showing that yes even those of us with mental health issues recognize something is wrong and desperately wish our children never have to live with it first hand; without the scene beating you over the head with some message. Just the look alone said more about Forrest’s character than words ever could. Tom Hanks absolutely deserves his place as an A list actor.
I too have struggled with autism as well as ADHD. I’ve always felt I’m different from other people and soemtimes struggle with acceptance, and I know one day if I have kids I’ll not want them to go through what I have. It’s not easy, but in life I’d say it’s all about making life better for those who come after us, for the next generation on this planet.
You just told the story of my life right there
Hope you're happy having almost made me teared up as a result xD
How would you not already know if your son is autistic if he lives with you? Unless you're an absent father I guess then I guess you wouldn't know
@@gardetto265 You don’t have kids do you? Nor do you understand how autism works. Autism isn’t as easy to spot in a toddler as you think. It’s not a case of every autistic rocks and smacks their head because you touched their master level building blocks. There’s three levels of autism and can very from “he just seemed like kind of an asshole who didn’t like people and wasn’t flexible with how he does things at work”, to “Jesus Christ all I did was tap him on the shoulder to get his attention and he flipped out and hit me!”. I have the kind where I’m a savant. (Borderline genius at specific things and terrible at most others). If it involves mechanical devices, history, geography, or martial arts I’m able to comprehend it in a few minutes. Yet I struggle to handle socializing, mathematics, interpersonal relationships, body language and organization. If you met me in person you’d assume I was just some inconsiderate asshole with way too much time on his hands as to you normies you can’t comprehend how I would know what I know and do what I do so well without dedicating a life time to it. Hell you’d probably assume this comment took me forever to type when it took me a minute at best. But because I’m good at writing and articulating my thoughts in a way you can’t you can’t conceive of that as anything short of obsession or deep dedication to a reply. That is just one example of how this disease (and I’m being intentionally facetious about the term to illustrate my hatred for this disability) appears in a human being in a way you people can’t seem to comprehend. My son is different. He was born in the alpha generation during Covid 19. The time when nobody could socialize and everyone wore a face mask. The most common trait of alpha generation is autistic like traits due to the lack of socialization due to the pandemic that stunted millions of children’s development to the point where nobody is sure if it’s a spike in autism or if it was the lack of socializing. So quite literally even my sons doctor doesn’t know to this day. I suspect he may have a minor variant of the disease but so far I’ve done everything I can to help him and sought out both OT and PT therapy to help curb this issue all while working a night job and then turning around ti take care of him during the day!
So kindly go fuck yourself and maybe read the comment with more than just the desire to opine on topics you have no knowledge of and maybe join the rest of the normie crowd of braying sheep where you belong commenting on clips from the Steve Wilko show.
“Is he smart or….” The man doesn’t want his son to end up like him, being mocked and ridiculed for his lack of intelligence. just goes to show that Forrest might not have the biggest brain, but he does have *the biggest heart* considering how caring he is to everyone around him. :)

"He got a daddy named Forest too?" 😂😂😂 One of my favorite lines of the whole movie.
This was the moment that turned Forrest Gump from a good movie to a great movie for me. The heartbreaking realisation that this whole time Forrest knew about himself just puts every other scene in the movie into a totally different, more complex and more emotional light.
His mom kept it 💯 with him the whole time .that despite his handicap he was capable of a life even though it would be harder for him than others

@@JCaesar71306
Forrest Gump was not intelligent as measured by IQ tests.
However, his mind was quiet, very quiet... and this allowed pure wisdom as simple action to operate in his life. That's a much higher level of intelligence than a high IQ linked to complex thinking. That's exactly why everything worked out so well for him in life (*)... Just read Lester Levenson's life and you see what I am talking about.
* Except for losing Jenny several times.
@@freenrg888well, love will make you mind become filled with all sorts of things. Can't blame him for that one
This came out when I was seven and I’m just now realizing that Forrest may have been on the spectrum.
A bunch of drama/comedy movies back in the 90's made the main character be incredibly goofy or dumb with a pure heart of gold. This was one of the many from Tom Hanks, Adam Sandler, Jim Carrey, and others lol.
This is why Tom hanks is such a beloved, exceptional, highly talented actor. It's moments, such as in that clip, that touch your soul.
Beloved? Do some research and be prepared for a shock… sorry

His life of pain, mockery, bullying. He didn't want that for his son. It's every father's wish to see their son/daughter grow up to be like them but not Gump. That's a heartbreak
Honestly. I made it my mindset that if i ever have kids, I’ll teach them to be better than me, not to be like me.
I think it gets to the heart of what every parent should want-- for their child to have an easier, more contented life than what they had themselves. Parents who struggled should want their child to not have to struggle at all. Forrest made a big life out of very little, but the moment he realised little Forrest was his son, he wanted that boy to have the easier, more dignified path.
"It's every father's wish to see their son/daughter grow up to be like them..."
I know this is an old post, but this is wrong. It may be true for some parents, but not all. And in my humble opinion not the good parents.
In my opinion good parents want their children to be *better* than themselves.
It's still heartbreaking that Forrest is worried that his son might be "afflicted" with what presumably he believes are his "bad genetics". But it is heart *warming* to see him relieved that his son is smart and not disadvantaged.
Ya think.
The way he “asks” to talk to his son without saying the words is such a lovely, human moment.
@G E T R E K T yes
"Forrest Gump is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen"
That instant parental concern and deep love- that will forever be one of the most beautiful moments in cinema.
"This is your son, he's sees dead people."
Not yet! In a couple of years. And then he will become a robot!
He also wields a Keyblade
Find it in your heart to call on Jesus. He loves you and cares about you brother.

Good one!
I was too young to appreciate acting skills when I first saw this movie. Tom Hanks was so good in this scene that, probably, for the first time in my life, I realised, how profoundly moving good acting can be. Forrest realising that his son was alright was so painfully uplifting.
I hear ya, I was 9 when this movie came out. I watched it as a teenager and it was good then but as an adult with a 9 year old that up until I got married I was raising on my own (long story) this makes my heart feel so warm. Knowing that Forrest just accepts his son and the first thing he wants to do is go and interact with him. Just makes me feel happy
It's really strange because when I watched this I was really young like five I think and I remember relating to Jenny. I hate her as an adult but I saw her as someone who was hurting and lashed out and was a mess because of it. I was a really angry child.
What about her knowing she was dying hence the letter she wrote. After all of letters he wrote and she had them returned to him. Forrest got her letter and didn't return it. He showed up.She now understands what love is and little Forest will be well taken care of and truly loved.
This scene always makes me cry. Forrest understands he has a learning disability but the pride on his face when she says his son is smart is priceless
And this is why he won the Oscar. Superb. They definitely casted the right actor.👍
Life is like a box of chocolates........
For everything that Jenny did, there is one very important thing you gotta commend her for in terms of maturity and growth as a person. Because of what she did, she had decided not to tell Forrest about his son right away, taking on the responsibility to clean herself up, find a real job, and support her child on her own until the kid turned five. At which point, she decided to introduce him to Forrest, not only apologizing for what she did, but letting him know that he needn't do anything for her, nor that he did anything wrong. This particular scene is quite impactful and important to Jenny's character.
Her childhood really messed her up her life went well enough all things considered I met girls like her always felt like they were running away
The bar is so low for females lol
@@dupe8383 And somehow they've managed to dig through bedrock.
Damn
@@fluffells8361 To be fair, there wasn't much bedrock
Absolutely heartbreaking. Not that he was scared having a child he was scared that his child might turn out like him and he wanted his little boy to be better than him. It's a struggle I think all of us parents can relate to. All we want is for our kids to be better than us and this was one of the most real situations I think we can all relate to. God bless you mr. Hanks and thank you for reminding us all what it's like to be a parent, that raw Primal instinct to protect and a wish better for our offspring
Yes I want my son to be better than me in every way. Fortunately for him that won’t be too difficult haha.
Imagine being directly connected to every major historical event for the past 30 years and still wanting your kid to turn out better than you

As a dad I can totally relate to the reaction, as all fathers who have seen there children for the first time.
Excellence.
Been watching this movie for almost 30 years and can never make it through this part without crying…or when he goes to the tree after she’s buried
Both scenes are it for me too😥😥
We all need a Forrest Gump in our lives. Unconditional. What a great character.
A man that can accomplish anything while being shy.
I always felt like Forrest Gump and Luke Skywalker are the two best "good guys" in movie history --- some say Rocky Balboa as well but he was too flawed
So that you can use and abuse him and leave him to clean up after the mess you made?
We all need to be Forrest Gump
When Forrest and his son both tilted there heads I just wanted to cry because you knew and could definitely see he was a replica of Forrest you could tell within Jenny’s face she sees it too😊😭😭
Its a movie.....it is all part of the script and planned.
@@sinoperture true but it’s still very well done by both actors 👍🏾💯

2:57 Oh god this part always seriously gets me teary eyed man, it's so sad when Forrest acknowledges his intellectual delays
I am too😭
I can't ever watch this scene in the film without crying. This one and the one where he goes to talk to Jenny at her gravesite. Tom Hanks played Forrest so simply and beautifully. But then everything he plays is done just exactly right. He chooses his roles wisely. It's why he's probably my favorite actor from today's generation.
Words can't capture how many times this movie has moved me ....
.
@Nota Zip ___ How about numbers?
As a mom of a special needs child this movie had always moved me to tears but after I had my son it ust hits different.
Just rewatched Forest Gump for like the 5th time: I laughed, I cried, I shrimped, etc. It's one of my favorites. But when reading the discourse of the movie most of the critisism is always with Jenny. Like everyone seems to genuinely think that 30 second Family Guy joke actually is what happens in the movie.
I think it just shows how a lot of people don't have experience or knowledge with sexual abuse victims. Jenny is portrayed fairly tragically and realistically.
There's a reason this part of her life is clearly pointed out as it's integral to her actions. There are so many movies that have Jenny like characters without that background and the depth, but here when it's being done so accurately, is the time people get the most upset about it (probably bc Forest is so lovable everyone wants to protect him).
Yes she isn't the best person (I wouldn't judge Forest if he didn't want anything to do with her) but even watching now I see the internal struggle she always has regarding Forest. But his unconditional and relentless love is something hard to let go of for someone who's been through what she has, growing up in a time where she was unable to get the help from mental health experts she would need.
So she tries filling her life with sex, drugs, adventure, etc to keep her mind occupied. And being with all those abusive boyfriends is a very common action for someone who's suffered from abuse.
And critics ignore that Jenny seems aware of all this and does try to get away to let Forest live his life without her, that's part of why she keeps leaving. But codependent relationships are much more common and harder to leave without unbiased intervention than people think. And every time she sees Forest or gets too deep in her choices she runs back.
I think the perspective it just helps play into this subconscious heteronormative idea that women can be a succubus who will use men who love them and drain them of their love and money but not really care about them. Instead of seeing women as actual people with depth and complexity and especially ones who have been through what she has.
And they also ignore how the movie portrays her, breaking it down to small bits that obfuscate the complexities. If a woman isn't a completely altruistic character in a story then she is generally considered a bad person (look at how complicated bad men are treated by audiences in media vs women) and then going further with Jenny being more damaged than that makes her hated. I don't personally think a character has to always be the best person morally to be a great character.
And furthermore she indirectly helps Forest succeed. His love for her is what often kept him passionate and moving to be successful. And her leaving all those times gave him space to pursue those activities. I'm not saying she's responsible for his success but she definitely didn't undermine it.
Though I can't help but feel my heart break every time I see the scene when she leaves one of the times and Forest is with his mom by the lake and rests his head on her shoulders. Pretty relatable to me especially in my younger dating life. It's just a sad reality of life that the people you love may not be able to love you the same way.
But it's all part of the depth of the story, Jenny torn between giving forest his space (she tells him numerous times she thinks she's bad for him) but unable to ever completely relinquish that love he has for her. Neither Forest nor Jenny have been given their fair share of direction in life to love in a healthier way (Jenny being broken by her history and Forest not having been taught to move on from unrequited love).
But I also think people undermine Forest's intelligence more than he deserves and put all the onis on Jenny. Kind of like many people in the movie undermine his intelligence (fancy that...). Forest isn't stupid, he just treats and perceives situations in more simplistic and naive ways. A big factor of why he thinks he's stupid is that people keep telling him he is rather than his actions being stupid. He's a product of a time before we understood nuero divergent intelligence, yet still succeeds in spite of all that.
The man is a captivating storyteller, was an ideal soldier when things were explained in clear unambiguous ways, yet still knew to break rank to save his platoon in Vietnam, he understood everything that was happening in Vietnam and it's dangers, starting a shrimping business (how many of you could get a boat and start shrimping without TH-cam tutorials), didn't let the prostitute sleep with him bc he didn't like her or her breath, understood he was lying in an ad for money, also understands and sympathizes with Jenny's trauma (the not enough rocks line is very underrated imo), etc.
He also knows Jenny doesn't love him the way he loves her. He literally calls her out for it and says he understands what love is regardless of what she thinks. He also seems to get that Jenny is dying of Aids (EDIT: It's never explicit what she has) and wants to marry him for the safety and care at the end. Forest chooses this life with her because it makes him happy. I don't really see it as taking advantage of someone cognitively divergent, but two people choosing a situation that works for them.
I see it as two wayward souls in a world that doesn't understand how to see anyone not completely binary in their mind and abilities finding each other and living their best life at the end. It's not all perfect, Jenny is not a great person, but Forest is happy and successful. I think that matters.
Out of all the critiques on the movie (Jenny, Forest being too pure, coincidences, etc) the only ones that make sense to me now are how weirdly the movie is anti counter culture and pro traditional culture. That anyone can be successful if you pull yourself up by your bootstaps and all the liberals are angry abusive drains in society.
And the total belief in a Christian God. I mean damn, the movie implies God caused a storm to ruin the shrimping boats of a bunch of poor black shrimpers just so 2 white guys can become rich. Can't believe I didn't catch that until this viewing. Gump being so effortlessly successful gives unintended creedance to conservative values.
As much as I absolutely love this movie and it's one of the few 9 out of 10s in my head cannon, I still can't help but laugh to myself when I think a good tag line would be "Even the dumbest white guy has it easier than minorities and women in this country".
But I just blame that on the source material. I mean they fixed up so much from the book (don't read it, I promise you it's not worth it, there's a reason the film rights were sold before the book was published bc the central premise is literally the only good thing about it) it's not surprising some very unuanced anti left aspects stayed involved tbh
@@baonguyenxuanthai711 I don't think she married him for the safety and the care, she did it because she really loved him.
She didn't like herself, which is why she considered suicide, and thought she wasn't good enough for Forest. It's possible that at moments she had doubts about them being together because of "how he is" but that wasn't the biggest issue for her.
@@baonguyenxuanthai711 I AINT READIN ALLAT🔥🔥🔥
@@baonguyenxuanthai711 Sheesh, you should post that on a forum.
You've really overdone yourself. 🎉
As a TH-cam commentator I couldn't care less.
1:55 "mom, why do you change my name every time you bring a friend home?"
Together with someone yelling "run Forrest, run!" at 2:08, this may be tied for the best way to ruin this scene.
That's the most heartbreaking scene of all time. I always cry on it. Pure loving from Forrest for Jenny.
"He's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen " .....that is real love at its most basic but complicated definition.
There is no award big enough for Tom Hanks' performance in this movie. A masterpiece!
Mr. Hanks is the master of his craft. Hard to believe his career started in a crummy sitcom.
This is my favorite scene. The attention given to every detail - all the emotions Forrest would feel in that moment, how Jenny would respond, and then the two Forrests' heads cocked to the left as they watch TV - is brilliant! Still makes me cry. ❤
That moment in a nutshell shows all the love,pride,deep feeling one has for their child. So touching. 😢❤
Hanks acting is literally perfect
This is the scene that earned Mr. Hanks his Oscar. The second he realizes this kid is his son, he goes from happy to a multitude of negative emotions, such as fear and confusion, like that.
This and when he speaks to Jenny for the final time and tells her how she would be so proud of Forrest Jr.
This scene made me smile and cry
🥲🥲
The first thing he asks is if his son is smart... It's the only part of the whole movie that makes me cry. It's very hard for me to cry anymore..
Jenny already knows she's dying in this scene. The cards were stacked against her from childhood and she made a lot of mistakes along the way trying to put back together her own broken life. But, in spite of how imperfect her journey has been, she introduced Forrest to his son, knowing that this is something she can do right. She can give her kid something she never had, by giving him away to the one person she knows she can trust. The curse of abuse and neglect that was bestowed on her will not pass to her son. It dies with her.
you may be the only person in this comment section who understands her character
I love this scene because it's really about forgiveness and salvation --- very similar to how Christians get "saved" --- Jenny needed Forrest to know how sorry she was about her actions --- and if you pay attention to Forrest's facial expression he looks confused --- like "why is my girl apologizing to me when she did nothing wrong?" --- shows how much he loves her!
@@kerzytibok3211🤍💘🕊️🧬😥💗❤️💖🎶🫶
2:45 At the beginning of the movie, Jenny was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. Then he met his son.
Wonderful actors! All three are fantastic. This is one of the most touching scenes in film history. I have tears in my eyes every time...
Tom Hanks has this really great way of acting without speaking. Emotive? I think it is called. Priceless scene.
My fav line is “he’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen”. Considering a man who had gone through and seen a lot of things in his life, the words came out from his mouth without a single doubt. As a father of two kids, I can’t agree more with him.
"He got a daddy named forest too?" at first I was laughing my ass off, then the ultimate reverse uno card at "is he smart or is he..." made me from cry laughing to cry crying
I picture your reaction like Matthew McConaughey in that Interstellar meme crying and laughing simultaneously 😂
3 scenes in this movie brought me to tears:
1. This scene.
2. Forrest at Jenny's grave.
3. Lt. Dan making peace with God.
Bubba saying « i want to go home » gets me also
3:41 I like how both dad and son tilt their head to the left when watching tv
3:06 That sigh of relief after he realises that his kid is smart, must be the best feeling for a dad that his kid is not going to suffer like he did !
I have watched this movie several times, and every time, without exception, I find new details I overlooked the last time. One of my favorite movies ever.
I was 18 when this movie was new. I’ve seen this film countless times. 29 years later, I cried during this scene for the first time. Absolutely beautiful. Tom Hanks deserved the Oscar he got for this. ❤
I always feel happy and almost sad at this scene because of how Jenny ends. At least little Forest has his dad.
And it’s so beautiful that Dad Forest is worried about little Forest having his disability. Which Jenny eases his worry by saying his son is in the top of his class.
Lovely movie.
Great movie! There was talk of a Forest Gump 2, but I'm glad they never made it. In Forrest Gump, Jenny dies of AIDS. In 2 one of the storylines had Forrest Jr. dying of AIDS also. That would have destroyed the magic of this great movie.
@@kpro9560 totally agree
@@kpro9560 ???? The 2nd one doesn't contain Forrest Jr dying of AIDS... he doesn't even have AIDS. And it wasnt even a sequel. It was a completely different story and rendition of his character
@@Putomayowhore You answered your own question/opinion. There was never a sequel. There was never a Forrest Gump 2. There were several different concepts of possible scripts for a sequel (one of which included a JR with AIDS) but they were never filmed. But of course, you have never seen an interview with Tom Hanks discussing that very scenario. Try Googling: Forrest Gump JR with AIDS.
@victoria It's called Google! Try it sometime
He asked about wether his son was smart or not with tears in his eyes. This shows, he understands the gravity of his own condition and yet he never let's it affect him in any manner. That's how strong is character was.
I absolutely love this film. It saddens me to hear so many people see Jenny as a villain. The sexual abuse she suffered from such a young age had a profound, and believable, effect on her well into adulthood. She didn't treat Forrest badly, just kept him at a distance. The only thing she really did which was wrong was not telling him about him having a son. Pretty bad, but the rest can be excused.
Nah she was in her 304 phase stop making excuses
she tried to give forrest aids.
@@tt-nm3pzShe was sexually and physically abused by her own father so no, she was not just a simple 304. Forrest grew up in a nice home with a loving parent which is why he turned out so good.
@@Jace_the_mace she was a hoe simple as that stop trying to make it more than it seemed
When litterally embodying female nature hypergamey and users of good men of course we hate her she is the embodiment of a thot
This scene always touches me. I could never imagine missing any time in my child’s life.
Like most dad's do in the western world havnt seen my kids in decades now no biggy wen you understand redpill and reality never met my grandchild also when my mother was diagnosed with motor nouren I begged pleaded worked saved to buy a house by here so my kids seen her every day until she died they repaid ,e and my grandkids by denying them a grandfather or are you female and feel you have some kind of special entitlement!!
I really hated how jenny waited so many years to tell Forrest about his son. Hypothetically if Jenny never contracted AIDS, would she have never told Forrest about his kid?
I’d like to think she would have
@@joewhitehead3 it wasn't aids, it was hep c.
@@redneckgearheadgarage495 - I always wondered about that. Did she say "virus" because she couldn't easily explain what was really killing her or was it HIV / Hep B or C or even malignancy. What was it that made you think Hep C?
Forest ran when he was stressed. Jenny ran when she was stressed too.
That's the point. People run when they are scared. He even had the urge to run in this scene. People hate on Jenny because they hold her to a higher standard than all the people who abused her, and what we love about forest they hate about her.
@@StonyRC i think the filmmakers themselves confirmed it was actually hep c after people had been speculating for years that it was hiv. Honestly hiv would have been entirely possible as well in view of jenny's past...plus hiv would have been in line with the movie's theme of world changing events happening to its main characters.
Forrest knows he is "slow" thats why he asks if little Forrest is smart. It hits hard when you find out he knows he isn't like other people.
One of the sweetest and most heartbreaking moments ever put on film...
This is my favorite movie of all time. I love how when Forrest finds out he has a son, the first thing he asks is if his child is smart because he knows he has a mental handicap that has made a lot of parts of his life very difficult, and he doesn't want that for his child.
Had a depression after watching the movie
Forest had Autism?
@@lizzvilla6468 No. He is just medically dumb
What is very telling of his character is his reaction when he thought Jenny may have had a husband or partner and did not react badly at all thinking there may be someone else she is with or seeing. Forrest is very romantically attracted to Jenny and yet even if there was a father figure present, all he wanted was the best for Jenny and their child. After what Forrest had been through to try and be with Jenny and how it left him emotionally and probably mentally negative, he just wants to see Jenny after all these years. Bless him.
Just to say even in the end Jenny still took advantage of Forrest.
@@FatGouf No she didn't. She was dying and wanted her child to not be an orphan. You would do the exact same.
@@Putomayowhore So im dying and wants the best for my kid, so I went to my wealthy and naive childhood friend who's pretty much obsessed with me and tell him my kid is his. How is that not taking advantage?
@@FatGouf but Forrest manage to achieve all he manages too because Jenny kept leaving him. I believe Jenny loves him too, which is why she kept away. But having a child when she is dying, she needs to find the father. Also, Forrest is the father and most importantly, he is not the kind of man to run away from being a father by declaring the child is won't be his.
Yup, every woman's dream. A dumb rich man who she can walk all over, and he will still lover her in the end.
Brilliantly written!! Passing of eras and historic events coinciding with the personal lives of two people destined to marry and become one.
'Is he smart'.
Poor sweet Forrest, so so wise and loving.
Most moving cinema moment I've ever seen.
That stare from Jenny at the end of this clip is amazing. She knew she was sick, and that it was very serious. Its' almost as if she's thinking, 'okay, little Forest is now in a better place than I could ever provide, and most importantly, he'll be safe when I'm gone'. Heart breaking.
One of the all time great movies. Hank's performance was a revelation--a complete tour de force.
Tom Hanks is a seriously great actor. God bless him.
“He is the most beautiful thing I ever see” heartbreaking
This still puts tears in my eyes after all these years. IMHO Tom Hanks played his role with humility and empathy, arguably his best performance even to this day.
Yep, I'm sat here fighting away tears. :)
Literally just balled my eyes out ! Haven’t seen this film for so long and I forget how emotional it is poor forest
Pls...pls...pls...watch...one of the winderful.movie...at first seem boring...but ull realised ...wat a beautiful movie...
Cant believe this video just ramdonly popped up on my TH-cam and now Im crying like I did when I first watch this movie.
"He is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.." - only a father or a mom can relate this moment. ❤
Not many fathers and mothers here obviously.
This movie always manages to make me both laugh and cry it’s a true master piece of a movie
The interaction between gump and liutenant Dan is a funny counterpart to the "gump and jenny" romance. This movie offer an amazing mix of emotions.
'is he smart...' this scene always gets me. he loves him so much already and he just wants the best for his son.
GREAT WRITING and acting..BEAUTIFUL!
I watched this movie in a very unlikely place. It was in an elective class called U.S History Through Film where, as its name suggests, was a class where we got to watch movies in order to learn about U.S history. When we got to the 60's and 70's, the Vietnam era and such, our teacher had us watch this film and I feel very lucky to have gotten to seen it.
"But... is he smart?" Forest was worried about his son, he was worried that he might have been the reason for any problems. He aware of the struggle, he understands the frustration, and doesn't want others to go through it.
I act differently due to my autism, I feel differently due to it, and the thing that is so hard to explain to people is that I am aware of it. I am aware of it, I mask what I can, and when I'm comfortable around you I simply don't mask it because I get tired.
I grew up thinking that autism was a curse but at this rate it doesn't draw much of a line. Neurotypicals don't always understand what they mean so autism is but an ill defined set of social norms. It does exist but not in every degree currently defined.
Don't mask it, friend. You have nothing to hide
2:59 right here at this moment, has to be one of the greatest moments in movie history when he finds out his son is not like him and will not endure what he went through... his first moment of concern was the core of what it means to be a father.... sob I cried my eyes out
