My wife of 40 years died last year at age 60. Its hurts so much I feel just like Forrest does in this video. The pain will never go away being alone now until Im with her again. I hope it will be sooner rather than later.
People Jenny and her sisters were sexually assaulted by a drunken father. She was broken she needed time to heal and Forrest was part of that healing over the years. She was not a villain but a victim.
Thank you James! It seems as if you, me, and maybe some other people are in the minority about Jenny not being a villain because I have been trying to say this for the longest time and yet so many people choose to label her as a villain. Like you said, she was broken for much of her life but deep down she was not a bad person. She made mistakes and for a long time did not realize how blessed she was to have someone like Forrest in her life but it was painfully clear by the end of the film she finally came to that realization.
@@xyPERSON I understand that but y'all should understand that she never was interested him in a romantic way. But Forrest right from the start was in love. She always saw him and treated him as a child. So everything she did for him was out of pity. she did understand that she was toxic person so when forrest proposed to her she says "you don't wanna marry me" she didn't want to use his innocence but she did. And i believe that's the point of her character ❤
That, and I always felt she was protecting him from her being a mess. She thought she wasn't worth him (like how an abused person would feel) and that she would inevitably corrupt his happiness and innocence.
The people who are convinced that Jenny is a villain are the people have never been through Jenny's trauma, therefore they cannot possibly think like or understand Jenny is a victim from young childhood. Those of us who actually know her trauma firsthand, know Jenny as the victim she is, and understands why Jenny behaves the way she does. In the end, both big Forrest and little Forrest save Jenny, even for a short time. Jenny did the very best she could with her life after her whole life was forever altered by that evil creature...Her "Dad"/"stepDad" 💔
Never thought Jenny was a 'villian' yes she mistreated Forrest terribly but remember she was terribly abused as a child and even admitted she'd been messed up; told him you don't want to love me Forrest
One of the things I love about this movie is that they are actually playing out a role reversal. On the surface, Forrest seems to be the damaged one, limited by conditions outside his control, the one to be pitied. Ultimately though, once you look beyond the surface to the inside of the characters, Jenny and Forrest actually switch places. Jenny is the broken one. Damaged not by birth, but by events in her life outside of her control. She ends up being limited by the psychological damage of her past. She's self destructive, never accepting anything good in her life because she doesn't feel she deserves it. Always seeking out abusive relationships, because that is what she knows. Meanwhile, Forrest is never actually limited. No matter what he puts his mind to, he succeeds. He excels. On the surface, Forrest appears to be the one we should pity. Ultimately though, Jenny was the one to be pitied.
@@MichaelDelvalle-nt4gp No actually, that's an EXCELLENT excuse. And anyone who doesn't sympathize with a victim of child sexual abuse? YOU are the truly horrible person!
@MichaelDelvalle-nt4gp being abused isn't an excuse its easy to sit there and call her a terrible person but unless you realise how badly being sexualy abused messes with your head you are never going to realise how bad it is
people don't get that the reason jenny never stuck around forest was because she felt she didn't deserve him. SA victims will often think they did something wrong, that they deserved what happened to them and that they don't deserve happiness. jenny felt she wasn't worthy of forest and his pure love for her. she stayed away from him as to not let her own darkness corrupt his light. it was only after becoming a mom that she was able to come to terms with her own darkness and learned to love herself again. and thus allowed herself to be worthy to be loved by forest properly.
For those who have not experienced sexual abuse or molestation. Then you honestly have no idea what carrying that around can do to you mentally Having experienced that as a man. From men for many years Yes it can and will effect your decision making Some of us use it to find strength. Others go down a dark path Jenny went down the dark path. And finally in the end. Found her light Be strong to all the survives out there. There is a light at the end of the tunnel
They don't get that the movie is doing a role reversal. On the surface, we instinctively view Forrest as the damaged one, limited by things out of his control, the one to be pitied. Ultimately though, the movie is playing a reverse of that. It wants us to look inside the characters. On the inside, Jenny is the damaged one. Damaged, not by birth, but by events outside her control. She ends up being limited by psychological damage, self destructive patterns, not accepting anything good because she doesn't feel she deserves it, getting into toxic abusive relationships because it's what she knows. Ultimately, it's disabusing us of our initial surface level assumptions and showing us that Jenny is the real Forrest. She's the one that we need to pity. Ultimately, Forrest was never actually limited in life. Anything he set his mind to do, he attained. He excelled.
@@jasonseipler2665 Anyone who doesn't sympathize with a victim of child sexual abuse and would dare judge them and call them terrible? YOU are the truly horrible person and you're damn lucky Hell isn't a real place.
@@malkakynatas8389 may I make a niche reference? I watch many reaction channels. In addition to seeing the gender divide about Jenny, I see the delayed reaction of men during The Haunting of Hill House, episode 3: Touch. All the female reactors know what happened on that basement couch. Male reactors often took much longer to figure it out. Women just see the world differently than men.
I understand she went through alot of horror in her life but its hard to ignore the fact that if she wasnt dying forrest would have very likely never even known his son existed.
@@christiancarranza1003 I'm pretty sure Joseph was not trying to imply that empathy is a bad thing. Rather, I think he was making two separate comparisons: 1) the Internet can be used for good instead of evil, and 2) the Internet can be used to show empathy (being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings of others) rather than being used to polarize (divide people into sharply opposing factions).
You can be SAd by your father yet men scream about what a villain you are. She’s just a fictional character. Imagine what actual women who’ve been SAd think when dudes call her a monster.
She kept him away from his kid and probably would have for the rest of his life. What a horrible selfish person. She remembered him just cause she had no other choice. She used him till the end.
If y’all love Tom Hanks, then you’ll love Bachelor Party(1984). It is the most heart warming film Hanks has ever done. More than Green Mile and Forrest Gump. ❤
Jenny was a monster, she used that man over and over until she brought home a child he might not be his. She’s the perfect modern woman, strong…she didn’t need a man unless she could use him.
Jenny pawned this poor kid off to Forrest to take care of him because she knew she was dying...and Forrest, for his mental shortcomings, was the most stable guy she knew. She got knocked up by one of those abusive men and told Forrest that he was his because she presumed he was dumb enough to fall for it. Paternity fraud happens more often than we all care to admit. That's why women lose their minds at the thought of mandatory DNA testing.
Jenny is pretty unlikable character in my opinion. However I do understand what she was dealing with emotional baggage wise. And ultimately she made a good decision for her son even if it was somewhat manipulative in regards to Forrest Sr.
That's what I hear...Jenny is still getting them guts rearranged by pimps and drug dealers while Forrest takes care of the kid... he turned his adversity into an advantage while Jenny became a ho
She was a 304. Gave herself to Chad n Tyrone. Only used Forest when she was used up an disease ridden. He would have probably never seen his son if she weren't about to die.
She wrote Forrest the letter telling him about his son after she knew she was pregnant. Forrest was off running for three years and only got to read it once he returned home. There were no cellphones or social media in the 80's.
@@opalvikingshe's a horrible person that used forest and the only reason that she brought the kid back was because she was sick and that was her only option because the drug dealers pimps and Chad's that tore up and gave her f****** diseases didn't care if the sickness would have never happened Forest would have never seen her again until she needed something just like what happened she needed him to take care of the kid because nobody else would and her past doesn't excuse her actions nor should it Inspire sympathy we don't forget she married him and ran off without even a word ...that alone is Despicable but that's just one of the many terrible things that she's done to him...
@@caseywilliams4145 this response seems personal. Do you see an ex in Jenny? This one, long run-on sentence tells me you’re angry at a real person and not a fictional one. Maybe seek some talk therapy.
Often, when horrid things happen to people, especially when they're very young, it changes the trajectory of their adult life. You may have thought she was horrible when she was messed up, but she was actually protecting Forrest. She knew she was not in a good place and not right for him at that time.
@michaelf8702 A person's past doesn't excuse thier bad behavior. She never protected Forrest from anything. She molested him, used him, and dumped a kid on him. She did a number of bad things and none of them were the fault of anybody but herself. She was a bad person who did bad things to a mentally challenged person. I hate her character and wasn't sad to see her go.
Dude she was sexually abused by her dad from a very young age. She had NO ideal what real love was which is why it wasn’t until she got clean and experienced real love by having a child of her own could she finally appreciate and reciprocate love for Forrest.
@DeAngeloBertDavis Her past does not excuse her bad behavior. It does not matter that she was abused. It does matter that she abused others. She had the ability to not repeat the behaviors of her father. Nobody forced her to abuse drugs, she chose to. If a guy molested a mentally challenged girl would you say he wasn't a horrible person? Flip the genders on all she did. Do you still feel that the Forrest that gets the mentally challenged neighbor girl pregnant, then runs off to do drugs and have orgies until he dies of Aids, and finally leaves the kid to the mentally challenged girl he molested to raise alone, is a good person?

IMO, this is one of the best movies and acting in cinema history.
Jenny wasn't a villain you have to remember she was sexually abused by her father and Forest knew that what he did to her wasn't right

Jenny was sexually abused as a child by her own father, but you still see men call her the villain without getting it.
Even abuse victims have to take responsibility for their decisions as an adult. And yes, I'm an evil MAN

Well I guess I was 13 in the theater. As soon as they said died on a Saturday. The couple behind me. Well her boyfriend had to walk her out.
Oh man my eyes are sweating.

Me: "Nyahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Im not crying, youre crying.
Wow a reaction to others' reactions. This shows the Internet can be used for good instead of evil, empathy and not polarization.

Saddest movie ever
You've obviously never seen the land before time
I was born on March 22, which also happened to be a Saturday. They goofed on this one though...March 22, 1982 was a Monday, not Saturday.
