- I hope you all enjoy watching my reaction as much as I enjoyed recording it. This movie is amazing. I want to add at least one throwback movie to the channel every two weeks from now on. Depending on the reception. #forrestgump #classicmovies #tomhanks

The thing is Jenny did not think she deserved Forrest's love. Abuse victims often feel that way. Eventually, after the birth of their son, she finally understood what true love is about.
Most people think the virus was AIDS but they say it was actually Hep C, which was discovered around the same time, was passed along through sharing drug needles or sex and was a death sentence also.
As for Tom Hanks movies you should defintely see, the first two feature Gary Sinese(Lt Dan) and came out after "Forrest Gump". The first one is "Apollo 13", the true story of the space flight. Then another tear jerker is "The Green Mile". Finally, the last of the three must watch movies of his, "Saving Private Ryan".
в кино подразумевался именно СПИД, а в книге гепатит С
Jenny also only ran because that’s all she knew since childhood, and once in adulthood healthy love seems unfamiliar leading her to run again
Hey, what about ‘Splash’, ‘Big’, ‘Turner & Hooch’, and ‘Philadelphia’? 😜
Geez, his body of work is huge
Nah she never loved Forrest she only wanted him and his sweet money to take care of their son after she passed.
And Cast Away
Jenny knew that Forest was pure and she had a childhood that really messed her up so she never thought she was good enough for Forest and he should stay far away from her. However, Forest was the only one that showed her unconditional love and she finally realized how precious that that kind of love was.
I also think because she was sexually abused at such a young age and because Forest was pure & innocent she always seemed to feel guilty after making a move on Forest like she was doing something wrong or hurting him. She was projecting a lot when she would tell Forest he doesn't know what love is when she didn't actually know it or how to be loved in a healthy way.
When Jenny says "You don't know what love is", she is projecting. Forrest is the only genuine source of love in her life, but she has learned to fear & distrust that feeling. This comes back later when he says "I'm not a smart man, but I know what love is." He is basically telling her that she's wrong, he knows how he feels, whether she can accept it or not.
Jenny is one of the most misunderstood characters of all time. Her type of life is not often portrayed in movies. I see a lot of myself in her so i understand her mental state of not understanding or feeling worthy of love, or even able to love herself. The drug abuse, the terrible men, the running away constantly...i did it all too. She would rather have her lifelong friend be in her life as a friend because she knew if they got together while she was messed up she'd only hurt him. A lot of people hate Jenny for that but I respect that she'd rather be friends than hurt Forest because she wasn't able to give him what he deserved. Jenny lived a very tortured life, her disgusting father is the villian of this story, not Jenny. ❤
Completely agree and I'm shocked how many reactors kinda look over the horrifying life she lived with her father. Something like that happening once life changing and yet we can assume it happened daily.
"Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it." -Bubba
Shrimp gumbo is goated
🥹 Bubba always breaks my heart with his passionate shrimping ambitions and wholesome nature.
Hence why Bubba and Forrest connected so well 💞
Let’s think of something Bubba forgot to mention. 🤣 Maybe shrimp chowder. 🤔
Forrest, while disadvantaged at birth, was the recipient of a nurturing and loving childhood and accomplished great things. Jenny's childhood was the nightmare of sexual abuse from her father. This experience led to many poor decisions in her life. It wasn't until she was going to have her own child that she was able to straighten out her life. I applaud her willingness to change in order to give her child a better life. Even if you are cynical enough to believe she only got back with Forrest because she was dying and he had money, then she did the best she could for her kid.
если внимательно смотреть фильм, то станет ясно, что Дженни никогда не стремилась к богатству, как и не имела привычки врать (ибо многие подозревают, что она родила ребёнка от другого. но если опять же внимательно и не предвзято смотреть фильм, то совершенно очевидно, что она сказала правду
As for what Forrest said during his speech, according to Tom Hanks he said, "Sometimes when people go to Vietnam, they go home to their mommas without any legs. Sometimes they don't go home at all. That's a bad thing. That's all I have to say about that."
I think a lot of people miss the part where he’s talking about his ancestor starting up the KKK and him being named after him. He says that the mom says that she named him that to remind him that sometimes people do things that just make no sense. Like it was a stupid thing for him to do that didn’t make no sense. Anyway, love your channel so far man. Keep it up!
In the hospital when Forrest gets the bundle of letters to Jenny it wasn’t a happy moment - all the letters were stamped “Return to Sender” or “Undeliverable” indicating that she never received any of them because she was nomadic - still unknowingly chasing whatever toxic people and behaviors she thought she needed trying to work through the horrific trauma of rape and sexual abuse afflicted upon her and her sisters alluded to early in the movie. A lot of fans of this movie shit on Jenny because of her fickle treatment of Forrest, but conveniently ignore the breadth of her early trauma at the hands of the man who was supposed to protect and nurture her. It doesn’t excuse her bad behavior, but damn, have a little empathy and understand why she turned out like that. Great movie. Worth multiple watches to catch references you may have missed.
It's not something people in general understand. Instead of blaming how perception and human response works in general, you should instead direct your efforts on how to guide people with traumatic experiences down a better path. Many are able to. They are all able to manage their demons and respond to it in different ways and evaluate themselves, just like everyone in different hardships. It leads the way for more people now just making excuses, who have been through far less and don't even try, or default to wronging others because they've been wronged and paint it as a bizarre type of self defense. What happens to them reveals the person they are based on their response to it, it doesn't cause it. You are the person you are because of your actions, period, not your emotions/past/thoughts/opinions. How many people respond to something that is reprehensible to them with grace?
Dear God make me a bird, so I can fly far, far away...and as he leaves Jenny's grave, a flock of birds, fly away, from their tree. ✌️
The role of Lt Dan changed Gary Sinise's life. Portraying a wounded vet and the reaction of vets to the film spurred him to found one of the largest vets charity - the Gary Sinise Foundation which builds accessible homes for wounded warriors and helps God Star families, etc.
The hospital scene with the letters were all marked Return to Sender - she never got the letters as she was hitchhiking around as a hippie in the 60s.
Jenny is a complex character and hard to like but she ws pretty obviously dealing with horrid lifelong effects of childhood abuse.
Such a great movie with amazing acting by Hanks. Field, Sinise, and Wright. That moment when Hanks/Forest says "Is he smart or is he like me?" Killer.
Saw this film in theaters when it first came out. I've probably seen it over 50 times. The part when he asks Jenny if little Forrest is smart or like him always gets me choked up. Never fails.
Jenny was trying to protect Forrest from herself. She knew she was broken.
Jenny was tourtured from her childhood of SA. Its actually common with people that experience that to not love themselves nor feel worthy of goodness, what they know is being treated badly so they believe that's what's real.
My mom looked exactly like Sally Field when we were kids and were convinced she had a secret movie career, I sincerely cried when she died. And that's all I have to say about that...Tom Hanks is absolutely brilliant, even when playing a local idiot. When LT. Dan comes with his magic legs made from the same as the space shuttle...the next year they were in Apollo 13th together! One of most clever, hilarious, heartfelt films ever.
Also, in the New Year's bar scene, Lt Dan tells Forrest "The day you are a shrimp boat captain, that is the day I become an astronaut".
"Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."
Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Hanna Hall and Jacqueline Lovell.
Casting Notes Fact: The girl in the school bus with the red hair is Tom Hanks's daughter, Elizabeth Hanks.
Medical Fact: The author made it clear that Jenny dies of Hepatitis C. She contracted the disease through her drug abuse, and the virus was indeed unknown until 1989. Since the movie is set in the 1980s, it explains why the doctors could not help her in any way.
Historical Fact: During the ambush in Vietnam the enemy is never actually seen. This led many combat veterans, especially Vietnam veterans, to rate this as one of the most accurate combat scenes in movie history. It was very sudden, the enemy wasn't seen, and it happened very quickly.
Music Enthusiast Fact: Inspired by Lieutenant Dan Taylor, the military veteran character he played in this movie, Gary Sinise co-founded a rock and roll cover band called "The Lt. Dan Band" during the mid-2000s. The band often goes on USO tours to play for U.S. military personnel stationed around the world and also plays various benefits for veteran-related causes. Sinise was awarded the Presidential Citizen Medal in 2008 for his charity efforts.
Double Duty Fact: In the movie there are four actors/actresses who play multiple roles. Gary Sinise plays Lieutenant Dan as well as all of his ancestors. Mykelti Williamson plays Benjamin Beaufort "Bubba" Blue, as well as the waiter opening Dr. Pepper bottles when Forrest meets JFK as an All-American. Sally Field plays Forrest's mom, as well as a male reporter during Forrest's run across America. Tom Hanks plays both Forrest and his Confederate ancestor.
Jenny is the very definition of broken.. She knew she would’ve broken Forrest..
100% I reacted to this a year and a half ago..ive had plenty of time to analyze the character since then
@@foxtaco My apologies.. I neglected to pay attention to how long ago this was.. My bad..
but watch Philadelphia..
No no no you're fine...it's hard to notice besides the crappy editing anf the sub count in the corner...it's a reupload so it seems only like a day old but I watched and recorded this in January of 2023
@@foxtaco I may be late to the party but I’m here now..
Watch Philadelphia.. lol
I’m so glad you’re back. While you were gone I stumbled across another reactor who has a similar warm vibe to you. One day he mentioned your channel and later commented that you two are friends. Some days this world feels smaller and smaller.
Frank? 🤣🤣that's my guy we just had a 2 hour phone call today 😁
@@foxtaco yes lol
he seems like such a good human. i enjoy his reactions.
@jeffbartholomew1152 oh no no he's awful hahahaha ( sarcasm ) lol
@@foxtaco 😂 😂 no need to project 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 touche touche *tips hat
23:18 whenever I think about the “why?” my grandma passed away I think of when Sally Field says “I’m dying Forrest.” It’s truthful and direct without any pleasantries, and that’s how death comes for us
Have you seen Princess Bride yet? The actress playing Jenny is in that one too. Great movie, well worth a watch....
Forrest got Jenny dumped by her bf and she totally forgave him and invited him in. Then he got her fired from her singing job. She was angry with him when she told him to stay away. And she had a right to be.
2 and a half minutes in, “this is not supposed to be a comedy, right?” That’s what I fucking love about this movie so much. It’s everything.
It’s a Coming-Of-Age story, it’s a love story, it’s a comedy, it’s a war movie, and it’s one of the saddest fucking films throughout the whole length. I’ve watched this movie easily 500 times.
I watched this movie for the first time when I was 8, and from 8-12 years old I watched this movie at least twice a day. Sometimes it’s the only thing I’d do all day during summer. I’d just sit and watch Forrest Gump from start to finish, then restart it, watch to the end, restart it, watch to the end, a good 5 or more times.
I just couldn’t get enough of this movie. I’m 25 now and I still fucking cry throughout this whole movie.
2:45 - "This is not supposed to be a comedy."
Well, you're the first reactor I've seen who laughed when Forrest got his leg brace stuck on the side of the street.
Great reaction as always. You should look into Gary Senise and his life after making this movie. Playing Lt. Dan changed his life and he became a major advocate for veteran's issues. He has done some pretty incredible things for veterans.
It’s funny, I discovered @Frankfreezy’s channel while you were on hiatus from him watching this film. When I found out you guys are friends it just made sense. You two are the two most emphatic, wholesome and insightful reactors. I wish I was part of the friend group haha
Bet add me on discord FoxTaco 🌮🦊
The letters were the ones Forest wrote to Jenny. They were returned to him.
I really enjoyed this reaction! Thank you for making me laugh and cry again, after watching this movie so many times. I even saw it in theaters back then.
Masterful performance by Tom Hanks.
I know I've watched it last time but ever time i watch these reactions there's enough energy in them to get me engaged and make me really enjoy watching them with you and seeing how you react to different characters and their actions...
@@greenboomcarter56 you alive Green👀?
I saw this when I was in college. It was just a great film. As for Jenny's illness I think most of us assumed it was AIDS. I've heard it was suppsoed to be Hepatitis C.
13:08 jenny’s dad messed her up.
It’s hard for her to have a normal relationship
Forrest Gump is an amazing film and I like to give a couple thoughts about Some of the themes and motifs. First of all, the movie implies that forest is involved in or the cause of almost every significant event in American history since the 1960s. This is presented in a comedic way. But i think the film is telling a story not just Forrest and Jenny, but of the United States. Forrest and Jenny experience a wide range of challenges, failures, successes, ups, and downs. I think the writers are suggesting that the United States is like that. I could write an entire essay on this. But just spend a few moments thinking about some of the things that Forrest and Jenny experienced. Some of their trials, failures, and successes. Then imagine that as a metaphor for things that the nation was going through.
That part at 30:03 always gets me🥲
when forest and Lt. Dan silently express they're excitment for eachother, finally achieving peace
One of my chicken's was attacked by a fox, her leg's were paralysed for 3mths, I called her Luitenant Dan....after months of physio she is now walking amazingly, she's just Luitenant now 🥰🫶🏼
This is one of my father's and minw favourite movie to watch together since I was a kid.
When he asks Jenny ‘Is he smart, or is he..’ is the moment he won the Oscar.. His second of winning back to back..I HIGHLY recommend Philadelphia.. Tom won the Oscar, Denzel Washington was nominated, Springsteen won for original song.. it’s perfection.. but bring tissues, you’re gonna need them..
I used to be mad at Jenny for keeping Little Forrest a secret from Forrest, but rewatching it, he was running across the country that whole time. It was the 80's. She wasnt just gonna text him. 😂
"Hurt people hurt people." I think describes Jenny quite well. She didn't know how to respond to and accept true love.
To me, the movie is an allegory of America n the main characters were all “us”, especially at the time.
There were countless Jennies n Lt Dans. “Forest” is just the simple soul of the nation experiencing life like a feather blowing where Life takes itself n witnessing it ALL!
Hey man, glad to have u back especially with one of my favs, and thanks for not leaving us hanging on band of brothers, the pacific next please
"He doesn't mean it when he does this"
"Jenny, when he slaps you and doesn't mean it, does it hurt less than if he slaps you and does mean it?"
"hit him in the back of the head so fuckin hard he learned how to walk!" 😂 This is why i watch your reactions fox
Did I say that? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The first time I saw this movie was when it was released in the theaters. Ever since, I've thought about movies as before Forrest Gump, and after Forrest Gump.
hey, if that subcount you have there in the background is accurate then i gotta say - congrats on all your new ones! i'm always lookin for reactions, often for this movie, and yours was really great! here's hoping you get a whole lot more! peace!
Oh no no no..this video is about a year and a half old...I uploaded it once before but my channel was so small it didn't really get any engagement and alot of my neew subs haven't seen it either so I jsut reposted..but thanks for stopping by and watching 🙏🏿😊
lmao great here we go. i cant wait to cry alongside with you
Cry, laugh...this movie is a roller coaster
Jenny is constantly running away, which is all she tells Forrest to do as well, and when called on it by the taxi driver she shows that she's also in denial about it.
Tom Hanks brother was an avid runner. It’s him running in the wide shots.
I first remember Tom Hanks from the show Bosom Buddies back in the 80s
@27:00 Jenny is not running, she needs to fix her life first.
People never get the point whynhe was named forest gump. Like he said its to remind forest that people do things that just make no sense
Another good Hanks film, and one that I feel you would certainly have a connection with, is Captain Phillips. Not quite a classic, but if you're going down the Hanks rabbit hole it would be a pretty good place to start. There's some iconic scenes in it for sure.
3:38 bro your mouth was open for 10 straight seconds😂😂 love this reaction man
This movie has to touch the heart. Jenny was a classic abuse case always getting a Father figure bad for her. Forrest was a pure spirit. Every once in a while you fine something as genuine and simplic as He. Buddy a great Friend sad but the reality of war sucks the replacement Friend L. Dan Classic tuff friend but has a big heart. His battle with God scene was classic but the presence of God truly a cool deal bringing people together. Lovely Sweet Kind strong story. God bless our troops
Just found your channel, you are a great reactor!
The Terminal, Green Mile, Turner and Hooch, Big, just to name a few Tom Hanks movies.
"bosom buddies". a sit com in the late? 80's maybe early 90's? anywho, that's the first I recall seeing Tom Hanks. a good show but that man has gone a loooooooong way since.
When I first watched the movie I assumed it was AIDS. In terms of jenny when people watch this movie half dislike her and the other half feel sorry for her and understand her decisions even if they didn't agree with her choices. When you've gone through trauma for years at a young age it sets your perception of the world and affects your future decisions as you grow up. People sometimes think she should have been nicer to him which I agree and it's not that she didn't care but she was battling memories she didn't want to remember aka the drug use, depression makes you think you don't deserve anything good so you settle for bad things and you're just destructive. When you're battling something you're struggling to resolve you don't make sound decisions.
The damage done to Jenny by her abuse is a big theme in this movie that I missed the first time I watched it. A lot of people don't get it.
I hurt when people don't get the Bear Bryant scene, but then I get over it.
It's easy to be frustrated with Jenny when we see her constantly push away Forrest's unconditional love. But a lot of people don't even survive childhood abuse let alone go on to have happy healthy relationships in the future. Jenny loved Forrest but didn't think she was worthy of his love so stayed away. It's a miracle in itself that she came around in the end.
Good reaction! You've got a new subscriber :)
You left out the most important scene with Lt. Dan. When Lt. Dan finally transcends his anger & resentment towards Forrest and being handicapped. "Forrest, I never thanked you for saving my life " as he then swims away towards the horizon.
This is a most important lesson of the movie. Can you edit that scene in?
Thank you for your service 🫡
You should watch Tom Hanks in Philadelphia. It was one of his first serious roles. Denzel Washington, Antonio Banderas is also in it.
Of all the clips to start this video with, "is there a Mr gump, Mrs gump?" 😂😂😂
🤣🤣😭😭😭
This movie can grab some tears and pull them out.
Jenny is also Princess Buttercup from The Princess Bride
1. The music rights alone must have cost a small fortune🤑🤑
2. Kurt Russell did the voice for Elvis.
3. IRL Sally Fields is only 10 years older than Tom Hanks.
4. Having gotten his degree Forrest would have gone into the Army as an officer like Lt. Dan. Not a recruit. His ASVAB kills that.
5. He actually saved Lt Dan twice. Once in the field and again to get him out of his post war funk and Dan turned his life around.
6. Normally an enlisted Army person would be fully aware of his/her separation date.
5. Jenny did indeed give him the best gift ever (it wasn't the shoes)😍😋😈
8. Jenny died of Hep-C from dirty needles when she was in Caliphony..
9. It's ironic that Lt. Dan told the guys to take care of their feet because he loses his.
10. At the rally Forrest says, "Sometimes when people go to Vietnam, they go home to their mommas without any legs. Sometimes they don't go home at all. That's a bad thing. That's all I have to say about that."
11. You have had a ride through recent US history and culture. From Elvis, John Lennon, Abby Hoffman to Vietnam and Watergate. Even the jogging craze of the 70's. About the only thing left out was streaking.
13. "Sometimes I guess there're just aren't enough rocks"
14. Haley Joel Osmentt/Forrest Jr. steals the show in "The Sixth Sense" with Bruce Willis.
15. Often when he's finishing a segment about death, he ends it by saying "That's all I have to say about that"
16 Keep in mind if Jenny wasn't wasting her life seeking men like her father and was with Forrest he/we wouldn't have had this incredible journey.
If you haven't already, you must do Tom Hanks in the GOAT "The Green Mile". Stephen King adaptation. You WILL cry.😭
For someone who watch Band of Brothers, Tom Hanks in Saving Private Ryan is epic.
It's on my channel
Forest Gump is a model of unconditional love. As absurd as reality has become...it's not inconceivable that one day there could be a religion named after him. Gumpism
You got plenty to watch now, but in the years ahead you'll find this movie stands up to repeat viewing.
I don't know if you've seen the movie but it's a wonderful life should be on your list of top ones to watch
Well said Fox Taco, well said.
What Tom Hanks movies have I seen (looks at recommended videos for channel) I wonder If Taco has ever seen SAVING PRIVATE RYAN!
This is a great Tom Hanks movie, so is saving Private Ryan, the green mile
Both are on the channel as well 🙏🏿
Hits me hard When Bubba dies.
Great reaction 💯
If you haven't already you should react to Boyz in the hood... blood in blood out... menace II Society
👍👍👍👍
Foxyy lfg baybee! Didnt know you hadnt seen this before
Dane...this is literally my second time uploading this video...it's old as hell..I watched this at the beginning for 2023 but I didn't have any subs then
Epic.
Ironic that running is associated with Forrest when running is all Jenny did throughout this entire film.
Yup her character literally spoke it upon him for better or worse
#WeLove🦊🌮
I think you should watch "The Green Mile"... wonderful movie.
It's on the channel😁
Jenny was screwed up by her father , and you can see All through her life.
1000% sad but pretty realistic sequence of events
I don't want to be critical but you covered up some of the greatest moments in the movie.
You're viewing box for your reactions was too big and covered up most of the screen but I loved your reactions just make it more viewable for your people who are watching
This was my old recording style from a year and a half ago...thanks fir the critique though and glad you still found a way to enjoy the reaction
❤
Jenny is such a conflicting character, part of me feels so bad, the other part wants to knock her teeth in...😞
Awesome reaction/ can you please watch a movie called PHILADELPHIA.
If you haven’t seen Philadelphia, that should be next.
My mom keeps trying to get me to watch that as well...but I'm doing the God father dune or pt1 and 2 next..mad max..Avatar the last air bender and some others but I'll get there eventually
Great reaction subscribing! If u like Tom I’m dying for u to react to Cast Away
🙏🏿 unfortunately I have seen cast away
I think it's time for dude to watch Interstellar.
Dude has watched it
Don't be so hard on Jenny. Her childhood was totally screwed up and drugs took a toll on her.
Watch the full review please
Please watch 300 the movie
