I love how Forrest never forced his romantic feelings to Jenny, it's exhausting when someone does that. Jenny knew, it didn't need to be said or made embarrassingly obvious with sexual innuendo.
@@HenryDube72 since his comment has very little to do with my original comment, it's pretty obvious that both hold some truth in them. That's why I replied how I did. To live is to suffer.
I know, right ?Idc what anybody says, Jenny is my favorite character because i can empathize with her due to her upbringing, there is more to her than meets the eye, same goes for character like her, Bojack Horseman, you can find their actions intolerable and still empathize with them, abusive upbringing can damage a person's mind drastically.
Some people look down on Jenny for the way she treated Forrest, probably because they've had difficult relationships themselves. But when you look at what happens with an objective mind you can see she goes out of her way to not harm him. She stays as far away from him as possible whilst she suffers the effects of having been raped as a child. Indeed the worst thing she does is leave him without saying goodbye and deprive him of fatherthood for some time in a later scene. It is quite commendable to limit your pain to yourself rather than becoming corrupted by it to the point of harming your loved ones. It is also quite commendable that Forrest looks past the destructive behaviour she has limited to herself and still sees only the good in her. Whatever limited pain he does experience as an unintentional consequence of her actions he depletes within himself in a productive way through the force of his spirituality th-cam.com/video/tWzbCk18wTw/w-d-xo.html. This is what Eternal Dharma/Soulmateship is all about, indeed this is what Love is all about. Doing the utmost to not harm the harmless, and depleting the pain you do receive within yourself. But all of that requires great spiritual fortitude that has built up over countless lifetimes. Those who are not so spiritually developed risk intentionally hurting others. For them all you can do is set a good example by living according to Principle, and making yourself available to give therm guidance. But you need to be very careful when you do encounter corrupted persons. On the one extreme you should not judge and condemn them as being worthless. On the other extreme you should not destroy yourself to try and save them, which is a risk that exists if you're spiritually driven because you will find something good in them. Instead you should approach everything in life in an intelligent, balanced way. That means just teach thern Principle if they are interested. Without making the mistake of "falling in love" that is actually lust. Such corrupted persons often suffer from being unloved by those they have loved from a young age, such as their parents. So they have a twisted idea of what love actually is and that can lead to bad outcomes when combined with the greed, hatred, ignorance that arises from their pain. If their love remains unrequited they will destroy themselves trying to replace it with sensual pleasures. Their only hope is to find spirituality and serve the Principle of Love itself rather seeking love from others. And your duty is limited to showing them the way if you have the Wisdom to do so. All of this means you should never help anyone in a way that indulges their greed, hatred, ignorance, out of your misguided love for them, because that will actually harm them tbh with you.
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.
I felt bad for Jenny's character, forever running away from something that wasn't her fault, as Forrest was right, sometimes, there isn't enough rocks in the world.
The hate for Jenny highlights just how ignorant and/or indifferent our general society is about mental health, trauma, and how devastating it can be to a person's behaviors and belief systems. It makes me sad. Jenny's behavior is being miscast and oversimplified. She's not simply a gold digger and using Forrest. It's clear she has loved Forrest ever since childhood. Trauma wrecks havoc on a person's belief systems and self-worth. Jenny grew up in an abusive environment. She did not grow up with the security and love of a Mother and Father. She learned from a young age to run anytime she was confronted with something that was difficult for her. She even told Forrest, “If you ever run into trouble, don’t try to be brave - just run. Just run away.” I am not saying this was a good or healthy way of living; but nonetheless she learned this unhealthy belief and it stuck with her. It’s also clear Jenny is chronically depressed. She contemplated suicide by the bridge right before Forrest told her he was going to Vietnam. Later, she nearly committed suicide by jumping off the building. She slept a lot and didn’t talk much when she came to visit Forrest at his home. She had a traumatic, PTSD -like breakdown when she saw her childhood home. Most people castigating her as a gold-digger, POS, etc in the comments have never experienced one-tenth of what she went through, and it shows. This callous and harsh attitude often makes it even more difficult for people suffering with mental health issues to overcome because so many people instantly demonize them without taking the time to understand their perspective. And it's probably a contributing factor towards why mental illness cases continue to rise in the world - lack of support. To be clear - I am not defending Jenny's actions. Having sex with Forrest then leaving the next morning was wrong. Not even telling Forrest that he had a son was egregiously wrong. She made a lot of bad decisions in her life, and she suffered the consequences from them, including losing her own life. What I AM saying is - one can say that a person's words and/or actions are wrong and ALSO be compassionate and sympathetic towards them at the same time. It doesn't have to be one or the other - you can be both.
Idc what anybody says, Jenny is my favorite character because i can empathize with her due to her upbringing, there is more to her than meets the eye, same goes for character like her, Bojack Horseman, you can find their actions intolerable and still empathize with them, abusive upbringing can damage a person's mind drastically.

@@HienPham-ow5ky I 100% agree, jenny's messed up childhood contributed to her misfortunes in life, childhood trauma sadly leaves unerasable scars and we should do all to protect children from the abuse she endured.
@@baonguyenxuanthai711 well said and that's basically what Forrest did for her... He knew her demons and never really judged her but just waited patiently while just living his life and going about his business. He always let her know I'm basically here whenever you're ready and you deserve to be treated like a queen
Regardless of the bad choices Jenny made, she really loves Forrest and he loved her. She often friend zoned Forrest because she believe she's not worthy of him. Forrest didn't care, because despite all his achievements, he wouldn't trade any of it for her.
She was battling with her own self worth because of abandonment and sexual abuse, that's why she never went home and got tooken away hurt people hurt people she was left empty she's always loved him she watched and collected all his memorabilia once she had her son being a mother changed her she got the opportunity to have a normal healthy family and she could finally recieve and give LOVE till her death
Forrest always makes Jenny see the reality... What she could be... That life can be good.. She runs she pushes him away.. But he's always there making her face all her bad decisions and actions. Awesome movie. No movie makes cry like this. My beard is wet.
Btw, whats your opinion on Jenny from Forrest Gump as a character ? She is also a flawed female character that get hated a lot for the way she treated Forrest, but Idc what anybody says, Jenny is my favorite character because i can empathize with her due to her upbringing, there is more to her than meets the eye, same goes for character like her, Bojack Horseman, you can find their actions intolerable and still empathize with them, abusive upbringing can damage a person's mind drastically.
Watching this video made me realize there's a significance onto why Jenny always told Forrest to run when he's in trouble. I always thought that was a reflection on Forrest, turns out it might be more on Jenny's after all, and very little on his character.

people who hate on Jenny are lucky, because they obviously had better childhoods than her. cause if they went thru the type of shit she went through, they would understand.

Jenny was abused from she was little.She didn't value herself.But Forrest respected and loved her because they grew up together. She later realized that her bestfriend was, the only man who truly loved her.So she married him.whenever it was needed the love between them shined.

@@sheeplord4976 Forrest wanted so badly for Jenny to love him that he smothered her and pushed her away. It was a love that Forrest never gave up on, and when she got sick she finally realized that all he ever wanted was to be there for her.
For those who feel animosity towards Jenny. I understand. Jenny wasted a lot of her life and denied herself a real friend. But like she said, "I was messed up for a long time." It doesn't excuse her but I feel bad for her all the same.
Benji You just don't understand the effects of long term sexual abuse with no nurturing, Jenny is textbook in this regard. How can you not feel sorry for a little girl hiding in the field panicking & praying "Please God, let me fly away like a bird". Jenny loves Forrest, her life choices are based on her abuse, Playboy, always with men who hit her, drugs & suicidal.....this is textbook adult surrvivor of childhood sexual abuse (anorexia, & self-harm). She's acting out her pain & C-PTSD. The irony here is that Forrest goes to Vietnam, & Jenny STILL is so much more mentally/emotionally scarred than he is, & she NEVER mistreats Forrest. The error is thinking Jenny doesn't love Forrest because he's slow, in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. She works as a waitress for years & he is a Millionaire who would give her as much money as she wanted. She left him because she was UNABLE to maintain an emotional connection with ANYONE in a healthy manner, it took years for her to get enough distance from the pain, & most people never do in real life. It actually IS an excuse, because she was a small totally helpless child when she was sexually abused, & she never did anything to hurt Forrest, the things she did were far more self-destructive. 1) Forrest understood her pain if not the abuse " sometimes there just aren't enough rocks" when she breaks down in front of the house is a beautiful, perfect summation, sometimes NOTHING you throw at that kind of pain is enough to make it better. "I had that house Jenny hated so much destroyed" (something to that effect) after her death, he understands her pain if not the source, ignorance sometimes IS bliss. 2) People who hate Jenny don't understand the movie, abuse, or Forrest. And they are horribly self-rightous, simple minded & 2 faced to think they could handle abuse better than Jenny, or even think Forrest deserved her, in a real situation just think Forrest was dumb. How many "slow" friends do you have? or is it you?-your friendly neighborhood YT psychologist :)
December Leigh i wouldnt even rry to convince these people otherwise my dude. Its clear these people dont want to be educated on the fact that she was a victim.
Seeing your friends dying will fuck you up big time. That is why murder is more serious than rape in most cases. Would you rather someone took down your pants and touched your genitals, or someone murdered your friends in front of you with napalm, and bullets. Both are bad, but one is worse.
She kept being ignorant of him despite all of her hardships, besides her father, being a choice, while forrest had hardships through chance all throughout his life. She was mean towards him, and showed little respect. He had nothing but love for her. You should at least show respect to people who show you respect.
How can she give something to him that she don’t even have to give for herself ? Not all of us are able to have an understanding of the world . Some are weak, and some are strong . Some need experienced to gain wisdom . Some never do.
I don't care what any one else says. Jenny truly loved Forrest as much as he loved her. You can CLEARLY tell by the way she talks to him. Her childhood fucked her up. Yet through all of it, she supported Forrest. She doesn't think she's better than him. In fact, she probably thinks she doesn't deserve him. He may be mentally slow, but he achieved so much in life while she knows she's fucking up and she doesn't want to fuck up Forrest as well. When she finally got with Forrest, her life was better. She stopped doing drugs. She stopped hanging out with the wrong crowd. When she finally was able to respect/love herself, Jenny finally was able to accept Forrest's love. Its like the saying goes, you can not love someone else until you love yourself.

The people who were protesting the Vietnam War were surprised to see Forrest,a soldier in the US Army,run into the water after seeing his 1st love Jenny there and decided to applaud him after they were embracing each other.
You guys talking on Jenny like she was a bad person. She was abused by her father, likely sexually abused. She ended up with the wrong crowd, because she wanted to get away from where she came. I feel bad for her, and for Forrest and little Forrest. Unfortunately, AIDS killed her. It was a bigger deal then, than it is now.
Melati MohdSalleh according to winston groom's novel she died from hepatitis c. but the truth is that i never read the book itself, only read summaries about it. and here in the comment section someone also wrote she died from hepatitis. but i think it makes more sense she died from aids, maybe the circumstances of her death are different in the book i don't know...
Jenny always knew that Forrest would let her in, no matter how many times she ditched him. Forrest is such a special character, he bleeds love for Jenny. My all time favourite movie
Some people look down on Jenny for the way she treated Forrest, probably because they've had difficult relationships themselves. But when you look at what happens with an objective mind you can see she goes out of her way to not harm him. She stays as far away from him as possible whilst she suffers the effects of having been raped as a child. Indeed the worst thing she does is leave him without saying goodbye and deprive him of fatherthood for some time in a later scene. It is quite commendable to limit your pain to yourself rather than becoming corrupted by it to the point of harming your loved ones. It is also quite commendable that Forrest looks past the destructive behaviour she has limited to herself and still sees only the good in her. Whatever limited pain he does experience as an unintentional consequence of her actions he depletes within himself in a productive way through the force of his spirituality th-cam.com/video/tWzbCk18wTw/w-d-xo.html. This is what Eternal Dharma/Soulmateship is all about, indeed this is what Love is all about. Doing the utmost to not harm the harmless, and depleting the pain you do receive within yourself. But all of that requires great spiritual fortitude that has built up over countless lifetimes. Those who are not so spiritually developed risk intentionally hurting others. For them all you can do is set a good example by living according to Principle, and making yourself available to give therm guidance. But you need to be very careful when you do encounter corrupted persons. On the one extreme you should not judge and condemn them as being worthless. On the other extreme you should not destroy yourself to try and save them, which is a risk that exists if you're spiritually driven because you will find something good in them. Instead you should approach everything in life in an intelligent, balanced way. That means just teach thern Principle if they are interested. Without making the mistake of "falling in love" that is actually lust. Such corrupted persons often suffer from being unloved by those they have loved from a young age, such as their parents. So they have a twisted idea of what love actually is and that can lead to bad outcomes when combined with the greed, hatred, ignorance that arises from their pain. If their love remains unrequited they will destroy themselves trying to replace it with sensual pleasures. Their only hope is to find spirituality and serve the Principle of Love itself rather seeking love from others. And your duty is limited to showing them the way if you have the Wisdom to do so. All of this means you should never help anyone in a way that indulges their greed, hatred, ignorance, out of your misguided love for them, because that will actually harm them tbh with you

Jenny knew she was messed up which is why she kept running from Forrest, as she didn’t want to hurt him too. Some of the decisions she made were wrong, but I think that she was just trying to protect Forrest from herself
The hate for Jenny highlights just how ignorant and/or indifferent our general society is about mental health, trauma, and how devastating it can be to a person's behaviors and belief systems. It makes me sad. Jenny's behavior is being miscast and oversimplified. She's not simply a gold digger and using Forrest. It's clear she has loved Forrest ever since childhood. Trauma wrecks havoc on a person's belief systems and self-worth. Jenny grew up in an abusive environment. She did not grow up with the security and love of a Mother and Father. She learned from a young age to run anytime she was confronted with something that was difficult for her. She even told Forrest, “If you ever run into trouble, don’t try to be brave - just run. Just run away.” I am not saying this was a good or healthy way of living; but nonetheless she learned this unhealthy belief and it stuck with her. It’s also clear Jenny is chronically depressed. She contemplated suicide by the bridge right before Forrest told her he was going to Vietnam. Later, she nearly committed suicide by jumping off the building. She slept a lot and didn’t talk much when she came to visit Forrest at his home. She had a traumatic, PTSD -like breakdown when she saw her childhood home. Most people castigating her as a gold-digger, POS, etc in the comments have never experienced one-tenth of what she went through, and it shows. This callous and harsh attitude often makes it even more difficult for people suffering with mental health issues to overcome because so many people instantly demonize them without taking the time to understand their perspective. And it's probably a contributing factor towards why mental illness cases continue to rise in the world - lack of support. To be clear - I am not defending Jenny's actions. Having sex with Forrest then leaving the next morning was wrong. Not even telling Forrest that he had a son was egregiously wrong. She made a lot of bad decisions in her life, and she suffered the consequences from them, including losing her own life. What I AM saying is - one can say that a person's words and/or actions are wrong and ALSO be compassionate and sympathetic towards them at the same time. It doesn't have to be one or the other - you can be both.

Jenny was a victim and the abuse she had as a child made her never get over it she never got over that abuse that why she she would always try to run away she tried to runaway from her past it’s so sad 😞 poor Forrest but I understand Jenny she is a victim I. All this too

We(The Jenny’s) of the world, don’t know how to fix things inside of ourselves to be worthy of their love(Forrest’s). I’ve been working on myself for a good 8 or 9 yrs. But no where near close enough to being able to understand what’s going on and to fix it.

“She was like an angel” 🥹🤍 jenny made him feel seen and was a friend. Jenny was a good person and forrest new that and for that jenny loved forrest so much for treating her like the way she needed to be treated… never gave up on her.
Jenny just had too many problems and was too self destructive. In many ways she was the epitome of the negative female stereotype. Needy, selfish, always putting her desires ahead, and then expecting the stable partner to be there and pick up the pieces of the mess she made.
jenny for the entirety of the movie: i love u forrest but im gonna go away for 10 yrs bc i can jenny when she has cancer: i love u forrest and now that i have the most uncureable disease known to mankind ill finally move in with u

I love this MOVIE so much, watch it every year at least once, bc its very true an universal from day one to and af time. But i must say this. I dont hate Jenny's as character, but people protecting hers decisions by saying she was victim of sociaty, is like saying that Forrest had it easier becous he was oblivious about all evil things around. Its ridiculous, Jenny should be viewed as excample of how wrong judgement of life could end, and Gump is Literall opposite of that. The point of endig is obviously that "True love conquers all". Its even more important to current times where, Jenny could be easly missinterpreted as abusive, childish and reckless woman who only seek comfort, and maybe what would be even worst, she put the eternal burden on Forrest in that bus. I prefer my first interpretation. Peace.
James Norrington Probably because that hippie meant more to him than this fucking medal which he won in a war that was started by his imperial country ;)
James Norrington i already know all the things you have told. I am asking "was this service needed?" Which can also be translated as You fucking patriots; always try to legalize the massacre you have caused. Fuck your war, fuck your medal. Life is love. Thats why she means more.
they should have "ran away" together when they were at the club. jenny would not have got the "virus" and they could have happily lived ever after with little Forrest
Im i the only one that hates jenny? Forest was so innocent and such a good guy.. He treated her like a princess and she broke his heart multiple times. She only moved in with him when he got rich and she got sick. Only to break his heart again
She was like this because of her childhood i guess, she was abused by her dad and that causes some issues, but she truly likes gump, she doenst use gump, like the money or anything, in fact she said she isnt worthy, because she treated him so poorly and she cant mske up for tht. Gump clearly had low iq, she could just ask him for anything i mena hes a gazillionare as he said but she left eith nothing, to be a waiter for years and try to become a good person but when it did, when everything is right, her time runs out. Thats why i think its sad but if she truky wants to use him then i agree with you.
She wasn’t written to be perfect. She wasn’t written to be kind or loving or naive like Forrest. She was written to show how being a victim of abuse damages you.
She had someone who loved her more than anyone else, and still she kept friendzoning him and dating people who'd use her, even beat her and leave her. ... The fuck is this.
You think but there is. An example is me. I love this girl even though she hurt me and even if she has flaws, I still love her because I know she is a good person in heart

"Why you so good to me?"
"You're my girl"
"I'll always be your girl"
😍😭😍😭😍
“Why are you so good to me”
“Your my girl” 😭😭😭 that part makes all lovie inside it’s so cute & pure
That moment when you realize that there's a lot of Forrests out there and way more Jennys.
@FFB332mob Williams yeah me too .... Man, fuck Jenny! 💔
Deep man
Dudes with “nice guy syndrome” are the absolute worst. She’s a traumatized girl.
naomi obi that’s exactly what i was thinking. “Nice guy syndrome” is a disease
Yes. A lot of shitty Jenny’s of both genders and good Forrests of both genders. And neither side has more than the other.
One of my all time Favorite quotes ,when Jenny says "I'll always be your girl"...That delivery was so heart felt..Gets me every time.
that was just a 'a mentally retarded guy said something to me, I better just agree and nod'
I love how Forrest never forced his romantic feelings to Jenny, it's exhausting when someone does that. Jenny knew, it didn't need to be said or made embarrassingly obvious with sexual innuendo.

Slight modification is necessary for avoiding google censorship.
Jenny was a very hurt person but deep down she loved Forrest so much and he gave her the unconditional love she needed her whole life.
I agree with this so much, We vilianize her by the end of the show not understanding her pov, its sad😣
I know, right ?Idc what anybody says, Jenny is my favorite character because i can empathize with her due to her upbringing, there is more to her than meets the eye, same goes for character like her, Bojack Horseman, you can find their actions intolerable and still empathize with them, abusive upbringing can damage a person's mind drastically.
Some people look down on Jenny for the way she treated Forrest, probably because they've had difficult relationships themselves. But when you look at what happens with an objective mind you can see she goes out of her way to not harm him. She stays as far away from him as possible whilst she suffers the effects of having been raped as a child.

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.
I felt bad for Jenny's character, forever running away from something that wasn't her fault, as Forrest was right, sometimes, there isn't enough rocks in the world.
The hate for Jenny highlights just how ignorant and/or indifferent our general society is about mental health, trauma, and how devastating it can be to a person's behaviors and belief systems. It makes me sad.
Jenny's behavior is being miscast and oversimplified. She's not simply a gold digger and using Forrest. It's clear she has loved Forrest ever since childhood.
Trauma wrecks havoc on a person's belief systems and self-worth.
Jenny grew up in an abusive environment. She did not grow up with the security and love of a Mother and Father. She learned from a young age to run anytime she was confronted with something that was difficult for her. She even told Forrest, “If you ever run into trouble, don’t try to be brave - just run. Just run away.”
I am not saying this was a good or healthy way of living; but nonetheless she learned this unhealthy belief and it stuck with her.
It’s also clear Jenny is chronically depressed. She contemplated suicide by the bridge right before Forrest told her he was going to Vietnam. Later, she nearly committed suicide by jumping off the building. She slept a lot and didn’t talk much when she came to visit Forrest at his home. She had a traumatic, PTSD -like breakdown when she saw her childhood home.
Most people castigating her as a gold-digger, POS, etc in the comments have never experienced one-tenth of what she went through, and it shows. This callous and harsh attitude often makes it even more difficult for people suffering with mental health issues to overcome because so many people instantly demonize them without taking the time to understand their perspective. And it's probably a contributing factor towards why mental illness cases continue to rise in the world - lack of support.
To be clear - I am not defending Jenny's actions. Having sex with Forrest then leaving the next morning was wrong. Not even telling Forrest that he had a son was egregiously wrong. She made a lot of bad decisions in her life, and she suffered the consequences from them, including losing her own life.
What I AM saying is - one can say that a person's words and/or actions are wrong and ALSO be compassionate and sympathetic towards them at the same time. It doesn't have to be one or the other - you can be both.
Idc what anybody says, Jenny is my favorite character because i can empathize with her due to her upbringing, there is more to her than meets the eye, same goes for character like her, Bojack Horseman, you can find their actions intolerable and still empathize with them, abusive upbringing can damage a person's mind drastically.
Some people look down on Jenny for the way she treated Forrest, probably because they've had difficult relationships themselves. But when you look at what happens with an objective mind you can see she goes out of her way to not harm him. She stays as far away from him as possible whilst she suffers the effects of having been raped as a child. Indeed the worst thing she does is leave him without saying goodbye and deprive him of fatherthood for some time in a later scene. It is quite commendable to limit your pain to yourself rather than becoming corrupted by it to the point of harming your loved ones. It is also quite commendable that Forrest looks past the destructive behaviour she has limited to herself and still sees only the good in her. Whatever limited pain he does experience as an unintentional consequence of her actions he depletes within himself in a productive way through the force of his spirituality th-cam.com/video/tWzbCk18wTw/w-d-xo.html. This is what Eternal Dharma/Soulmateship is all about, indeed this is what Love is all about. Doing the utmost to not harm the harmless, and depleting the pain you do receive within yourself. But all of that requires great spiritual fortitude that has built up over countless lifetimes. Those who are not so spiritually developed risk intentionally hurting others. For them all you can do is set a good example by living according to Principle, and making yourself available to give therm guidance. But you need to be very careful when you do encounter corrupted persons. On the one extreme you should not judge and condemn them as being worthless. On the other extreme you should not destroy yourself to try and save them, which is a risk that exists if you're spiritually driven because you will find something good in them. Instead you should approach everything in life in an intelligent, balanced way. That means just teach thern Principle if they are interested. Without making the mistake of "falling in love" that is actually lust. Such corrupted persons often suffer from being unloved by those they have loved from a young age, such as their parents. So they have a twisted idea of what love actually is and that can lead to bad outcomes when combined with the greed, hatred, ignorance that arises from their pain. If their love remains unrequited they will destroy themselves trying to replace it with sensual pleasures. Their only hope is to find spirituality and serve the Principle of Love itself rather seeking love from others. And your duty is limited to showing them the way if you have the Wisdom to do so. All of this means you should never help anyone in a way that indulges their greed, hatred, ignorance, out of your misguided love for them, because that will actually harm them tbh with you.
@@HienPham-ow5ky I 100% agree, jenny's messed up childhood contributed to her misfortunes in life, childhood trauma sadly leaves unerasable scars and we should do all to protect children from the abuse she endured.
@@baonguyenxuanthai711 well said and that's basically what Forrest did for her... He knew her demons and never really judged her but just waited patiently while just living his life and going about his business. He always let her know I'm basically here whenever you're ready and you deserve to be treated like a queen
"For some reason, Jenny never wanted to go home"
It was her Grandmas dog
Regardless of the bad choices Jenny made, she really loves Forrest and he loved her. She often friend zoned Forrest because she believe she's not worthy of him. Forrest didn't care, because despite all his achievements, he wouldn't trade any of it for her.
I disagree I think she doesn't want to be with forrest because he's a dumbass in respect and she's selfish looking for something better
You are a Mangina
Nah, women just dont love like men do
No she troubled because she was raped and abused as a child
She was battling with her own self worth because of abandonment and sexual abuse, that's why she never went home and got tooken away hurt people hurt people she was left empty she's always loved him she watched and collected all his memorabilia once she had her son being a mother changed her she got the opportunity to have a normal healthy family and she could finally recieve and give LOVE till her death
Forrest always makes Jenny see the reality...
What she could be... That life can be good.. She runs she pushes him away..
But he's always there making her face all her bad decisions and actions.
Awesome movie.
No movie makes cry like this. My beard is wet.
This is probably one of the best movie made
“You’re my girl” = me bawling in tears 😭
Btw, whats your opinion on Jenny from Forrest Gump as a character ? She is also a flawed female character that get hated a lot for the way she treated Forrest, but Idc what anybody says, Jenny is my favorite character because i can empathize with her due to her upbringing, there is more to her than meets the eye, same goes for character like her, Bojack Horseman, you can find their actions intolerable and still empathize with them, abusive upbringing can damage a person's mind drastically.
Watching this video made me realize there's a significance onto why Jenny always told Forrest to run when he's in trouble. I always thought that was a reflection on Forrest, turns out it might be more on Jenny's after all, and very little on his character.

what a movie !!! I watch over and over again since 20 years and every time I learn something new!!! ,, Thank you Forrest!
It's a shame the Titanic music when you actually have a great piece of work on Forrest Gump's score.
deftjulian titanic was released after Forrest Gump
What does that have to do with his point?
So the music belongs to Forrest gump as it was the first movie to use it

Your my girl. Simple words/expressions truth and sole full meanings that most can relate to. Fantastic movie!
She came on to him in the dorm. Closest thing of intimacy he's ever gotten. It took a war and a hell of a marathon to come full circle.
people who hate on Jenny are lucky, because they obviously had better childhoods than her. cause if they went thru the type of shit she went through, they would understand.

WOMP WOMP man fuck Jenny.
Jenny was abused from she was little.She didn't value herself.But Forrest respected and loved her because they grew up together. She later realized that her bestfriend was, the only man who truly loved her.So she married him.whenever it was needed the love between them shined.

lol, suree

Poor Forest...this man waited so long
@@sheeplord4976 Forrest wanted so badly for Jenny to love him that he smothered her and pushed her away. It was a love that Forrest never gave up on, and when she got sick she finally realized that all he ever wanted was to be there for her.
she find happiness after HIV life´s a bitch
For those who feel animosity towards Jenny. I understand. Jenny wasted a lot of her life and denied herself a real friend. But like she said, "I was messed up for a long time."
It doesn't excuse her but I feel bad for her all the same.
Benji You just don't understand the effects of long term sexual abuse with no nurturing, Jenny is textbook in this regard. How can you not feel sorry for a little girl hiding in the field panicking & praying "Please God, let me fly away like a bird".
Jenny loves Forrest, her life choices are based on her abuse, Playboy, always with men who hit her, drugs & suicidal.....this is textbook adult surrvivor of childhood sexual abuse (anorexia, & self-harm). She's acting out her pain & C-PTSD.
The irony here is that Forrest goes to Vietnam, & Jenny STILL is so much more mentally/emotionally scarred than he is, & she NEVER mistreats Forrest.
The error is thinking Jenny doesn't love Forrest because he's slow, in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. She works as a waitress for years & he is a Millionaire who would give her as much money as she wanted. She left him because she was UNABLE to maintain an emotional connection with ANYONE in a healthy manner, it took years for her to get enough distance from the pain, & most people never do in real life.
It actually IS an excuse, because she was a small totally helpless child when she was sexually abused, & she never did anything to hurt Forrest, the things she did were far more self-destructive.
1) Forrest understood her pain if not the abuse " sometimes there just aren't enough rocks" when she breaks down in front of the house is a beautiful, perfect summation, sometimes NOTHING you throw at that kind of pain is enough to make it better. "I had that house Jenny hated so much destroyed" (something to that effect) after her death, he understands her pain if not the source, ignorance sometimes IS bliss.
2) People who hate Jenny don't understand the movie, abuse, or Forrest. And they are horribly self-rightous, simple minded & 2 faced to think they could handle abuse better than Jenny, or even think Forrest deserved her, in a real situation just think Forrest was dumb. How many "slow" friends do you have? or is it you?-your friendly neighborhood YT psychologist :)
December Leigh i wouldnt even rry to convince these people otherwise my dude. Its clear these people dont want to be educated on the fact that she was a victim.
Seeing your friends dying will fuck you up big time. That is why murder is more serious than rape in most cases. Would you rather someone took down your pants and touched your genitals, or someone murdered your friends in front of you with napalm, and bullets. Both are bad, but one is worse.
She kept being ignorant of him despite all of her hardships, besides her father, being a choice, while forrest had hardships through chance all throughout his life. She was mean towards him, and showed little respect. He had nothing but love for her. You should at least show respect to people who show you respect.
How can she give something to him that she don’t even have to give for herself ? Not all of us are able to have an understanding of the world . Some are weak, and some are strong . Some need experienced to gain wisdom . Some never do.
I don't care what any one else says. Jenny truly loved Forrest as much as he loved her. You can CLEARLY tell by the way she talks to him.
Her childhood fucked her up. Yet through all of it, she supported Forrest. She doesn't think she's better than him. In fact, she probably thinks she doesn't deserve him. He may be mentally slow, but he achieved so much in life while she knows she's fucking up and she doesn't want to fuck up Forrest as well. When she finally got with Forrest, her life was better. She stopped doing drugs. She stopped hanging out with the wrong crowd. When she finally was able to respect/love herself, Jenny finally was able to accept Forrest's love.
Its like the saying goes, you can not love someone else until you love yourself.

awesome compilation. brings back the feelings of the movie for me
The people who were protesting the Vietnam War were surprised to see Forrest,a soldier in the US Army,run into the water after seeing his 1st love Jenny there and decided to applaud him after they were embracing each other.

You guys talking on Jenny like she was a bad person. She was abused by her father, likely sexually abused. She ended up with the wrong crowd, because she wanted to get away from where she came. I feel bad for her, and for Forrest and little Forrest. Unfortunately, AIDS killed her. It was a bigger deal then, than it is now.
JacksTip I knew it was AIDS...
Victoria L. Vitale yes sadly Jenny died from AIDS because after all she did a lot of things like needle drugs that messed her up.
she died in hepatitis
Eszter A how do you know it was hepatitis that Jenny died from?
Melati MohdSalleh according to winston groom's novel she died from hepatitis c. but the truth is that i never read the book itself, only read summaries about it. and here in the comment section someone also wrote she died from hepatitis. but i think it makes more sense she died from aids, maybe the circumstances of her death are different in the book i don't know...
Beautiful
thank you :)
Sweetest Story Ever, could watch it over and over
one of the best movies that i have seen

Why did you put your own music over the music from the movie... I can't hear anything. -_-
jenny was probably genuinely happy forrest made it out alive
dude i love this movie i always cry at the end

One of the best movies ever made.
I, don't know about any one else but the tears are streaming down my face right now, tinicet😢
I just wished that both Forrest and Jenny found each other and lived happily ever after after.
So great putting all scenes together. Really great job - and than you destroy your work with this f****** underlaid kind of music. WHAT A PITY
WTF?? Titanic music on Forrest Gump? Please delete the video
Enrique lol
I think it's to avoid copyright issue or something
Jenny knew she was messed up which is why she kept running from Forrest, as she didn’t want to hurt him too. Some of the decisions she made were wrong, but I think that she was just trying to protect Forrest from herself
The hate for Jenny highlights just how ignorant and/or indifferent our general society is about mental health, trauma, and how devastating it can be to a person's behaviors and belief systems. It makes me sad.
Jenny's behavior is being miscast and oversimplified. She's not simply a gold digger and using Forrest. It's clear she has loved Forrest ever since childhood.
Trauma wrecks havoc on a person's belief systems and self-worth.
Jenny grew up in an abusive environment. She did not grow up with the security and love of a Mother and Father. She learned from a young age to run anytime she was confronted with something that was difficult for her. She even told Forrest, “If you ever run into trouble, don’t try to be brave - just run. Just run away.”
I am not saying this was a good or healthy way of living; but nonetheless she learned this unhealthy belief and it stuck with her.
It’s also clear Jenny is chronically depressed. She contemplated suicide by the bridge right before Forrest told her he was going to Vietnam. Later, she nearly committed suicide by jumping off the building. She slept a lot and didn’t talk much when she came to visit Forrest at his home. She had a traumatic, PTSD -like breakdown when she saw her childhood home.
Most people castigating her as a gold-digger, POS, etc in the comments have never experienced one-tenth of what she went through, and it shows. This callous and harsh attitude often makes it even more difficult for people suffering with mental health issues to overcome because so many people instantly demonize them without taking the time to understand their perspective. And it's probably a contributing factor towards why mental illness cases continue to rise in the world - lack of support.
To be clear - I am not defending Jenny's actions. Having sex with Forrest then leaving the next morning was wrong. Not even telling Forrest that he had a son was egregiously wrong. She made a lot of bad decisions in her life, and she suffered the consequences from them, including losing her own life.
What I AM saying is - one can say that a person's words and/or actions are wrong and ALSO be compassionate and sympathetic towards them at the same time. It doesn't have to be one or the other - you can be both.

so why come backkkkk and still yet do the opposite and play on his emotions and time !!?? is my issue !?
Jenny was a victim and the abuse she had as a child made her never get over it she never got over that abuse that why she she would always try to run away she tried to runaway from her past it’s so sad 😞 poor Forrest but I understand Jenny she is a victim I. All this too

My favorite movie OF ALL time
We(The Jenny’s) of the world, don’t know how to fix things inside of ourselves to be worthy of their love(Forrest’s).
I’ve been working on myself for a good 8 or 9 yrs. But no where near close enough to being able to understand what’s going on and to fix it.
We forrests will always be ready and patient, one of things a simple mind is good at is making a complex situation easy to see the solution
They were, made for each other ❤
Forrest and Jenny are a beautiful 😍 couple just like 👍 peas and carrots 🥕 and 🥛 milk and cookies 🍪.
Videoyu Türk birinin hazırlaması hoşuma gitti dünyanın en iyi filmi
Jenny is the best example why a man shouldn't ever be attached to any women,it's good to see how gump life was and how jenny was the small part of it.
You know what i think? I think you should come to live back home in ALABAMA
My eyes are sweating 😭
Putting the track "My Heart Will Go On" over the dialogue and incidental music of the film was a TITANIC mistake!
OUTSTANDING ACTOR , MR TOM HANKS
This was a beautiful video. It was really special to hear Forrest say to Jenny, “You’re my girl”. Why would 263 morons dislike this is beyond me. P

Dislike because the annoying music on the background.
José Manuel Mamani I know is so fucking annoying
“She was like an angel” 🥹🤍 jenny made him feel seen and was a friend. Jenny was a good person and forrest new that and for that jenny loved forrest so much for treating her like the way she needed to be treated… never gave up on her.
Forresr, ❤ heart will always go on for jenny
Jenny just had too many problems and was too self destructive. In many ways she was the epitome of the negative female stereotype. Needy, selfish, always putting her desires ahead, and then expecting the stable partner to be there and pick up the pieces of the mess she made.
She was messed up... she needed serious help and therapy and love... I know people like her and I went through a lot as well. Sadly.
jenny for the entirety of the movie: i love u forrest but im gonna go away for 10 yrs bc i can
jenny when she has cancer: i love u forrest and now that i have the most uncureable disease known to mankind ill finally move in with u
Hated that I can’t stand it ughhh like why why why why
"If there is anything you need, I wont be that far away"...
guys stop leaving such beautiful comments about how amazing the movie is, i can't like them all

"I showed her how to dangle" 😂😭😂😭😂😭😂
Im not a smart man but i know what love is... ❤❤
this is horrifically realistic
So sad I cried 😭😭
One of the handbags that Jenny was using in the movie was made by my Grandpa’s company.
i haved loved just a few but never been loved bach like this
I love this MOVIE so much, watch it every year at least once, bc its very true an universal from day one to and af time. But i must say this. I dont hate Jenny's as character, but people protecting hers decisions by saying she was victim of sociaty, is like saying that Forrest had it easier becous he was oblivious about all evil things around. Its ridiculous, Jenny should be viewed as excample of how wrong judgement of life could end, and Gump is Literall opposite of that. The point of endig is obviously that "True love conquers all".
Its even more important to current times where, Jenny could be easly missinterpreted as abusive, childish and reckless woman who only seek comfort, and maybe what would be even worst, she put the eternal burden on Forrest in that bus.
I prefer my first interpretation. Peace.
He was trying to protect you mate.
I pray I have a legacy like Jenny. & I leave " Forrest " bushy w a church home 🏡 to go get caught up in every week.
Even the she passed away. She lives with me
Beautiful movie
2:56
James Norrington Probably because that hippie meant more to him than this fucking medal which he won in a war that was started by his imperial country ;)
James Norrington you answer why this medal should mean to him that much, and i will answer why she meant more.
James Norrington i already know all the things you have told. I am asking "was this service needed?"
Which can also be translated as
You fucking patriots; always try to legalize the massacre you have caused.
Fuck your war, fuck your medal.
Life is love. Thats why she means more.
James Norrington but there is a point in respecting a medal won in an imperial war more than your love.
Good luck in life dude
James Norrington dude, i made this video.
Best movie ever IMO
they should have "ran away" together when they were at the club. jenny would not have got the "virus" and they could have happily lived ever after with little Forrest
Im i the only one that hates jenny? Forest was so innocent and such a good guy.. He treated her like a princess and she broke his heart multiple times. She only moved in with him when he got rich and she got sick. Only to break his heart again
Typical feminist liberal.
She was like this because of her childhood i guess, she was abused by her dad and that causes some issues, but she truly likes gump, she doenst use gump, like the money or anything, in fact she said she isnt worthy, because she treated him so poorly and she cant mske up for tht. Gump clearly had low iq, she could just ask him for anything i mena hes a gazillionare as he said but she left eith nothing, to be a waiter for years and try to become a good person but when it did, when everything is right, her time runs out. Thats why i think its sad but if she truky wants to use him then i agree with you.
She wasn’t written to be perfect. She wasn’t written to be kind or loving or naive like Forrest. She was written to show how being a victim of abuse damages you.
Forrest gump is madman
Love this movie
forest got screwed over by life sadly
This bridge music is the Titanic music -
She had someone who loved her more than anyone else, and still she kept friendzoning him and dating people who'd use her, even beat her and leave her.
... The fuck is this.
I love Forrest gump,especially L.T Dan
It's Forrest and Jenny, not Jack and Rose
The only person he is afterwards all the time died. Man thats hard
my favirate films are forrest gump cast away and the termanal
Titanic theme music + forest gump emotional music = Horror Flick music
I. Heard the sweets voice in the world 🌎, yea jenny
Tom hanks is the great aktor i ever know
JENNAE!
The Ballad of us, " too nice" guys.
Damn you Bubba you thew Onions in my eyes now I got tears in my eyes 😂tears
I promise. There’s no sane person on earth that wants a Jenny
Well forrest...hes one of a kind
Some people just have an overwhelming effect on others, despite their issues.
You think but there is. An example is me. I love this girl even though she hurt me and even if she has flaws, I still love her because I know she is a good person in heart
@@EdgarHernandez-uu4iw The hate for Jenny highlights just how ignorant and/or indifferent our general society is about mental health, trauma, and how devastating it can be to a person's behaviors and belief systems. It makes me sad.

Trauma wrecks havoc on a person's belief systems and self-worth.
Jenny grew up in an abusive environment. She did not grow up with the security and love of a Mother and Father. She learned from a young age to run anytime she was confronted with something that was difficult for her. She even told Forrest, “If you ever run into trouble, don’t try to be brave - just run. Just run away.”
I am not saying this was a good or healthy way of living; but nonetheless she learned this unhealthy belief and it stuck with her.
It’s also clear Jenny is chronically depressed. She contemplated suicide by the bridge right before Forrest told her he was going to Vietnam. Later, she nearly committed suicide by jumping off the building. She slept a lot and didn’t talk much when she came to visit Forrest at his home. She had a traumatic, PTSD -like breakdown when she saw her childhood home.
Most people castigating her as a gold-digger, POS, etc in the comments have never experienced one-tenth of what she went through, and it shows. This callous and harsh attitude often makes it even more difficult for people suffering with mental health issues to overcome because so many people instantly demonize them without taking the time to understand their perspective. And it's probably a contributing factor towards why mental illness cases continue to rise in the world - lack of support.
To be clear - I am not defending Jenny's actions. Having sex with Forrest then leaving the next morning was wrong. Not even telling Forrest that he had a son was egregiously wrong. She made a lot of bad decisions in her life, and she suffered the consequences from them, including losing her own life.

Great movie
So like this is a new realization to me but anything with tom hanks in it makes me cry wtf
Heaven is real people!!! Cry out to Jesus to save you!!!
Frohe Ostern❤😂
Jesus christ. tearjerker.
