    As a veteran, I think you're missing a lot regarding the character Lt. Dan. A large part of Lt. Dan's story is about "purpose". Before he lost his legs, he believed that his purpose was to die fighting for his country like so many of his ancestors. After he lost his legs, he lost his purpose in life. There are so many veterans that feel like this and it's why suicides amongst veterans are so high, especially among wounded veterans. It doesn't matter if the government is taking care of you, if you have no purpose in life you can't really call it living. When Lt. Dan was thanking Forrest for saving his life, he wasn't just referring to his physical life but also for giving him a purpose again. Gary Sinise, the actor who played Lt. Dan, is well regarded in the veteran communities partly through his portrayal of Lt. Dan and for the numerous veterans support charities that he's aided over the years.

    Something a lot of people don't notice at the very end.... when Forrest is walking away from Jenny's grave, a flock of birds take off and fly away. Jenny always prayed to become a bird.... such a subtle form of symbolism right there. But it's those little details that make this movie such a masterpiece.

    I’m a Jenny myself and it’s hard to accept that you deserve to be loved. Forrest is so pure and honest, and as a Jenny you can’t accept that kind of love. You feel to dirty and worthless, so you push it away. Or in Jennys case, you run away. It’s so sad that there’s not a Forrest for every Jenny❤

      Hi sweetie.. There are 2 Jennies in my family. Both are the strongest women I know, but the road was not easy for them indeed. Most people do not understand that the levels of autodestruction they were able to reach came from child abuse. But they did overcome all of that with help and learning to accept love from the correct people and both are now married, productive and happy. Thank you for sharing and I wish all the happiness for you. 💜

    Jenny was involved with all the controversial movements in American history during her lifetime. In the 50's is when Playboy was started by Hugh Hefner and Jenny being in it would definitely outcast her at the time. In the 60's was the Hippie, anti-war movement, which Jenny was a part of and why she was at the capital demonstrating against the war in Vietnam. They threw in the Black Panthers organization too just to spice it up. In the 70's was the disco and party era and heavy drug use was normal.

  • @ualaw77
    @ualaw77 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    I'm an Alabamian, and I attended law school at Forrest's alma mater, the University of Alabama. Incidentally, I did two summer terms while in law school at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland and traveled through Austria both summers en route to Munich.
    It seemed that you might have some passing familiarity with Alabama Governor Wallace, a fascinating and consequential figure from Alabama and US history. I often reflect on the significance of Wallace's political career as I try to understand the madness of our current political moment. So I hope you don't mind me sharing a little about him.
    I met Wallace outside the state capitol in the summer of 1994, just before my senior year of high school. He died just four years later during my senior year of college. My roommate and I drove down to Montgomery as he lay in state under the capitol dome. The most lasting image of Wallace in the public imagination is his infamous "Stand in the Schoolhouse Door" when he attempted to prevent the registration of the first black students ever admitted to the University of Alabama in 1963, as depicted in the film.
    People forget that Wallace had a reputation for showing no racial favoritism as a state judge. Not only that, he was the first Alabama judge to buck the custom of calling black attorneys by their first names (e.g. "Jimmy") and white attorneys by their surnames (e.g. "Mr. Johnson"). The disrespect...but Wallace would have none of it. He treated all the litigants and representatives in his courtroom with professionalism and courtesy. He ran for governor for the first time in 1958 as a "race liberal" in the mold of his mentor, outgoing progressive Governor Big Jim Folsom.
    He lost the election to the KKK-endorsed candidate, John Patterson. Wallace said that Patterson had "out-n**gerred" him, which he vowed never to let happen again. From then on, he made it a point to be the most rabid, foaming-at-the-mouth segregationist in every election he stood for. He won the 1962 election, setting the stage for his political theatre in 1963 which ended when JFK nationalized the Alabama Guard, and troops ensured the students' safety and the state's compliance with the court order mandating racial integration at the University. Wallace discovered that, when it came to empty, symbolic political gestures, a large swath of the Alabama electorate ate it up.
    Barred by the Alabama constitution from seeking reelection in 1966, he ran his wife Lurleen instead. "Vote for Lurleen, but let George do it" was one of her campaign slogans. She trounced all opposition. Unbeknownst to the public and even Lurleen herself, she was dying of cancer. Wallace withheld the diagnosis from her to ensure that she stayed in the race and kept campaigning. She later died in office.
    Controlling the governorship through Lurleen afforded Wallace a platform to run for president in 1968 as a third-party candidate. He won several Southern states over both the Democratic and Republican nominees. It was the best showing of any third-party presidential candidate in history, except for Teddy Roosevelt's attempt to return to the White House in 1912. In the meantime, he managed to amend the Alabama constitution so that gubernatorial candidates who had previously been limited to one term in office would thereafter be limited to no more than two CONSECUTIVE terms. This amendment made possible his successful campaign for reelection in 1970, followed by his fateful run for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1972. He won the Deep South primaries, as expected. He then won the primaries in Maryland (in the upper South) and Michigan (in the upper Midwest). These victories stunned the nation by demonstrating that his message could also appeal to working-class white voters outside the South---the same constituency that would be activated by Trump in 2016. Many feared that Wallace was mounting a hostile takeover of the national Democratic party. In extremely short order, someone put a bullet in him that ended his campaign and left him paralyzed and in pain for the remaining 26 years of his life. Nevertheless, he ran successfully for reelection to the governorship in 1974.
    Oftentimes, campaigns ask voters to peer into the hearts of candidates to judge whether they are honest or racist, communist or fascist, or whatever. I think that's pretty silly most of the time. I take at face value that Wallace was the man Big Jim thought he was in 1958, the man black attorneys remembered as the first Alabama judge to treat them as equal to white colleagues in every way. I don't say that to defend him. In many ways, espousing racist sentiments not out of sincere belief but rather as a cynical, calculated, and craven rabble-rousing tactic is even more despicable. In so doing, he did great harm to the black people of our state and nation. That's racism to me, regardless of how he actually felt in his heart of hearts.
    The South began switching from Democratic to Republican after passage of civil rights legislation under Johnson, JFK's Democratic successor. Southern states began to elect Republican governors, senators, and representatives throughout the 1960s and 1970s. With Wallace remaining a Democrat throughout his time in office, and with Wallace (or his wife) being elected governor in '62, '66, '70, and '74, Alabama was the last state to make the switch.
    Forced by the state constitution to sit out the 1978 election, Wallace ran for governor for the final time in 1982. This campaign was different. Black voters had become a key Democratic constituency during the party switch. Wallace humbled himself, went before black voters and black churches, admitted his wrongdoing, acknowledged the harm he had caused, begged for forgiveness, and asked for one more chance to be a governor for all Alabamians. And so the people, including the majority of black people, sent him one last time to Montgomery, the city where the Confederacy was first established---and, not coincidentally, the city where Rev. King rose to prominence as the voice of the national conscience.

    Just as a note. The place where Forest Gump is telling his story was filmed in Savannah Georgia the bench is in Bull Street. I lived there for 5 years while I was in the military. It is a beautiful city to visit. At the beginning when the feather was flying over the church is also downtown Savannah. I love that town, Forest Gump is my favorite movie ever. Also another little/big anecdote, while deployed in Iraq 2007 and Afghanistan 2009 and some other tourns in the Middle East I meet Gary Sinise (Leutenent Dan) he came to visit the troops and to sign for us with his Lt. DAN BAND google him he is a very big supporter of the military. And in another occasion he brought with him Tom Hanks and my very last time I saw him he brought with him to Afghanistan BUBBA the actor who play Bubba ofcourse. Experiences like that make your combat mission bearable. I identify in many ways to the character in that movie I thing that is why I. Love it so much.

    A little behind-the-scenes info, Tom Hanks modeled the way Forrest speaks after the way Michael Conner Humphreys, who plays Forrest as a kid, actually spoke, because it was easier for Tom to change the way he spoke than to ask Michael to change the way he spoke. After the wounded soldier tells Forrest "Never take your eye off the ball." Tom doesn't blink in the scenes he's playing ping pong in.

    Winner of 6 Academy Awards: Best Picture, Tom Hanks (Best Actor, the second actor to win back to back Oscars as Best Actor, the first being Spencer Tracy in the 1930s), Robert Zemeckis (Best Director), Eric Roth (Best Adapted Screenplay), Best Visual Effects, and Best Editing. This is one of my favorite movies that I think every human being should see...just because it really gets at the heart of what it means to live a good life. Forrest is a true hero in that respect.
    - Tom Hanks based his accent and way of speaking on the young actor playing the Young Forrest, Michael Connor Humphreys. Michael only made only one other film, and a TV movie, but instead served in the US Army from 2004-2008, and is currently a teacher.
    - Gary Sinise (Lt. Dan Taylor) was so inspired by the film, that he created a charity to help American veterans called the Gary Sinise Foundation, he also works with many other charities and organizations, and by performing with The Lt. Dan Band on American bases worldwide doing USO tours. Additionally, he has done other projects with Tom Hanks (Apollo 13 as Astronaut Ken Mattingly and The Green Mile), and he has won the Tony Award, a Golden Globe, the Emmy Award, and 4 Screen Actors' Guild Awards for his performances.
    - John Lennon was one of The Beatles and a solo artist...Listen to the song "Imagine", which is quoted in the dialogue. He was shot in 1980, in front of his apartment building in New York, and was only 40 when he died. He was the first Beatle to die. George Harrison was the second. Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are still alive. The Beatles also made a few movies...A Hard Day's Night is my favorite! One thing is sure...LISTEN TO THE BEATLES!!! It is so worth it!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
    - Robin Wright who plays Jenny Curran has been in many films. But her other best-known (and loved) role was in the comedy-fantasy The Princess Bride, as the title character, Princess Buttercup. It was her film debut. Other films I recommend of hers are Wonder Woman (as General Antiope, which she also plays in Wonder Woman 1984 and the two versions of Justice League), The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Blade Runner 2049, and Moneyball, Many of her films are indies and not very famous. She is an exceptional actress. As for Jenny...the author of the novel said that Jenny died of Hepatitis-C (which at the time was an unknown disease), while a lot of people think that she died of HIV/AIDS (which also was a mysterious disease at the time). Either way, it doesn't matter. She finally found it in her to love herself and let Forrest love her. In the end, that was all that mattered. Bittersweet, yes. But...with all that she went through as a child and as an adult, it is a solid win even if she died far too young.

    Nice reaction both of you. Watching this movie now 30 years later I have a different feeling of appreciation for this film. It’s about life. The ups & downs, happiness and sadness one sweet and good man lives throughout American history. We all will have experiences good & bad but it’s how we respond to them that’s key. The world would be a better place if more people had a loving good heart like Forrest.
    This movie was so popular they actually created a restaurant chain of Bubba-Gump Shrimp corporation restaurants. I think there are like 30+ restaurants globally with most in the USA. I’ve eaten at the very 1st restaurant in Monterey, CA. Also, one closer to me in San Francisco. The inside is decorated with items from the movie and has a lot of shrimp selections. The Monterey restaurant actually had a bench out front with a Forrest Gump statue sitting on the bench. You could take pics of yourself with him while you waited to be seated.

  • @KP-zi6jx
    @KP-zi6jx 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    There's a key part here in the premise of the movie when Forrest started running...he ran from things he didn't understand "Mama, why are you dying", "Jenny, why won't you marry me", then she left again...parallels between him and Jenny...she didn't understand why she was sexually abused, and ran away from it her entire life (until little Forrest gave her meaning and purpose in life, she felt worth and whole again then, she finally felt she was good enough for Forrest...she always loved him w/all her heart, but she didn't know how to love someone bc she couldn't even love herself w/what had happened to her as a child). But Jenny was the first person to tell Forrest to run, with braces, bc that's all she knew, was to run away....run w/the guys in the truck, run in Vietnam. They found each other when they both stopped running.

    • @johnplaysgames3120
      @johnplaysgames3120 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, from the moment his braces come off, whenever Forrest chooses to run for his own reasons, it's purely for the love of being able to run. It's other people in his life throughout the movie who tell him to run for other reasons; e.g. to win (football coaches), to run away from problems/sadness (Jenny), to run away from danger (Lt. Dan), because that's why they all run (whether physically or metaphorically). Even the people who are following him during his cross-country runs are doing it to find an answer; literally running from their own problems in their own lives.
      When Forrest hits his lowest point after his mom dies and Jenny leaves (again), he starts running. In the movie, he's not thinking about why he's running ("I just felt like running") but it's clear to us that he's trying to run away from his sadness. He's subconsciously following the examples of the people around him (like maybe that's how you're *supposed* to deal with sadness and problems). But, in the end, running away doesn't solve anything (other than just giving him time to think; so, running as meditation, I guess) and he gets tired of running away from life. Instead, he goes back home to live in relative peace, doing what his mama told him: Do the best you can with whatever God gives you. Which, before he tried everybody else's solution, is exactly what he'd been doing his whole life (and with great success).
      I like that, in the end, we see that Jenny and Lt. Dan finally stopped running from their sadness too. Jenny finds peace through the unconditional love of a child (a love that doesn't judge her for all the things she judges herself for) and, through that, finally being able to accept the unconditional love of Forrest. Brief as it is, she finally allows herself to play the hand she's dealt (the illness) and have a happy ending. And, in a bit of very heavy-handed, on-the-nose symbolism that still works for some reason without feeling too cheesy, Lt. Dan shows up with new legs and a Vietnamese fiancée, symbolizing that he's made his peace with his time in Vietnam.
      I feel like, if a person is a film student, they could write about a go-zillion theses papers on this movie. There are SO MANY layers and bits of symbolism to dissect, it would be impossible not to find some interesting angle to write about and expand upon.

    This has been my favorite movie of all time ever since I watched it all the way through the first time before my high school graduation. I cried so hard.
    I am glad there are some people that try to understand Jenny. Jenny did get help-she had needed help for so long. Trauma like that when you are a child-when you have no escape-it is so hard to explain how damaing it is to someone who hs never been through it.

    I used to teach English at an American language school in Kuwait which was located directly across the street from an Iranian high school where I sometimes chatted with students. I also became good friends with the Iranian family who owned the small food shop just outside my apartment, and we shared many meals together. Even though our governments are always at odds, I've seen a natural kinship between Iranians and Americans, something that I miss now that I'm settled in a small town in northern Minnesota. You both seem like the kind of folks I would have loved to hang out with back when I was a younger man. I'm happy to have stumbled upon your reaction video tonight. Count me as a new subscriber!

    Some trivia. Many of the running scenes are Tom Hanks' brother. Helped with filming in multiple locations across the US. Bubba was too heavy to carry, so they rigged cables. Jenny died of hepatitis C, not AIDS like a lot of people think. Makes sense, as she could have transmitted HIV to her son and Forrest. The little Forrest is Haley Joel Osment from The Sixth Sense, which you need to review. :)

    les répliques prononcées dans ce plan sont les paroles originales de la chanson la plus iconique de John Lennon "Imagine" :
    "No Possessions", "No Religion too", "Hard to imagine" "It's easy if you try".
    ;)
    Toutes ces répliques ont été peintes sur les lèvres de Lennon en CGI et un acteur a imité sa voix. Du très grand art.

    From Elvis to AIDS (or Hep C in the book), Forrest Gump is the story of a generation; the historical touchstones, the music, the traumas, and the philosophical questions we wrestled with. There are some places that use this film to help teach that era of American History. There are so many Easter eggs hidden throughout the film, it is difficult to find them all, even after watching it many times.

    Jenny did the best she could as a survivor. She didn't want to marry Forest at first because she felt unworthy and like she was bad for him - but when she got clean and simultaneously got pregnant that night she slept with Forest, she ran away again because of the same reason - not feeling worthy of him because he was so good. She did the right thing to let him know he had a son. People always say "Why did she wait so long" but we don't know how long she waited to tell him - he took off running just after she left - her letter could of been at his house waiting for his return the whole time she was pregnant. Anyway He and Jenny must of been married about 4 years because little Forest was only 3 when they got together and your 7 when you start first grade. I think she probably got aids from shooting up the drugs - that was the most common "Incurable" disease of the time. // Jenny was in Washington for the big War Protestors March and Forest was there to get his military Medal of Honor - not many people get that medal so when he was up on the stage at the end war rally the General was pulling the plug on his mike because it was an embarassment to the military for him to be there and do that - but he was innocent and didn't have a clue what was going on.

    Forrest was perfect for the Army because there was always someone there to tell him what to do. He learned fast and he followed orders without question. Just perfect. By following directions, he earned the medal of honor, and became a Sergeant. Even though Sergeant is a relatively low-level rank, it's still difficult to get unless you become a career military man.
    "I don't know if I should be laughing." Forrest Gump is meant to be humorous and a drama. It's a Dramedy. If you feel like laughing, go ahead and laugh. This movie will make you laugh, cry, be serious, and concerned. It is the best movie for that reason. I loved Lieutenant Dan.
    Some of the lines from the movie in the conversation below are from the famous John Lennon song named "Imagine". You might remember it. I will post a small amount of the lyrics, but if you are curious about below, I would look the lyrics up.
    In the talk show conversation with John Lennon, Forrest says,
    Forrest Gump: “Well, in the land of China, people hardly got nothing at all.”
    John Lennon: “No possessions?”
    Forrest Gump: “And in China, they never go to church.”
    John Lennon: “No religion, too?”
    Dick Cavett: “Ah. Hard to imagine.”
    John Lennon: “Well, it’s easy if you try, Dick.”
    "Imagine there's no Heaven
    It's easy if you try
    No Hell below us
    Above us only sky
    Imagine all the people
    Living for today."

      I've always felt like, at that moment when Forrest was at his lowest point, he was subconsciously trying everybody else in the movie's example for how to deal with sadness: Running away from it (like maybe that's how you're *supposed* to deal with sadness). And, after three years of running, when running away didn't actually solve his problems (other than giving him time to think and process), he went home and back to what he'd been doing before (taking life as it comes) and the thing his mama told him: Do the best you can with what God gives you.
      I do think it's an interesting bit of symbolism too that Jenny's gift to him (before she leaves yet again) is a pair of running shoes. She's giving him the "gift" of her method of dealing with sadness.
