The only movie I want to see every time a see a clip, this is probably the best movie in the world for me, outstanding movie, probably more than 300 times watched by me and counting
I suddenly realize, Lieutenant Dan married a very Japanese lady. Japan was a very fierce enemy to the U.S back in ww2. Another detail about how Lieutenant Dan changed his mindset, for the better, after his journey alongside Forrest!
Is it Tom’s best role ever? Maybe 🤔, regardless, I know it’s my favorite he’s ever done, well, this and Splash, shoot, Big too. Anyhow, it was a role tailer-fitted to perfection. The score is probably my favorite of all time from a film as well. Great film all around.
"I miss you Jenny 🥺💔", 🧻, Whew who made it start 🌧️ Raining Suddenly... 😢Scene reminds me of the Intense Emotional Pain of losing a loved one & wanting nothing more to scream & shout & wish they were there for you to warm Hug 🫂 & Embrace.
Interesting. I think it’s a mix of both given that life is truly about choices. To say it’s merely about destiny , for example, negates the idea of choice and free will as it removes room for accountability. We see how each character makes life choices and how those things play out. We see Forrest’s life and we also see some of the others and how life turned out for them. Forrest being the person that he is was able to change lives for the better and live an impactful life. Some of the others, not so much such as Jenny. She started rough of no fault of her own but ultimately made bad choices. We can see how her choices even impacted Forrest. Life is always about choices folks. God bless and peace.
I remember when my father told me that I'm going to have to figure out my own destiny it was terrifying. After struggling for so long finally becoming successful in being happy I owe my father so much for being an amazing teacher.
Life is soooo precious! I have wasted 5 years, through no fault of my own. I feel ashamed, because i promised my son, killed at age 24, I would live for him. And now I can only sit on the couch with no purpose at all.
To everyone debating if Forrest knew about Jenny's home situation. Yes he absolutely knew at that point. The monologues of his life are while he's waiting for the bus. Except when he's finally talking to Jenny's tombstone. While he might be slow but he has eidetic memory. If you recall he went through something like that himself with the lady who tasted like an ash tray. He remembered every detail of his life. Even though he didn't understand it. He remembers a random conversation in the middle of the night about destiny. He remembers everything there is to know about the Shrimpin' business. (Directly says it to Bubba's tombstone). Despite hearing the details of it across years of his life. Including the lady waiting for the number 7. Everything with little Forrest happens after his monologue and when he learns he's the dad. He wonders if he did something to Jenny that he shouldn't have. Ergo. Yeah he knew at that point. Poor Jenny. The people that have no empathy for her situation in these comments is crazy. Imagine if you're an only child and the one person who's supposed to protect you at all costs. Instead used her as a child... Brutal. I can't imagine it myself but i think all sense of trust is broken when you never experience unconditional love.
I never understood and I will never, why this cinema masterpiece has been promoted as a comedy. For me, it's just the most touching and sad movie I've ever seen.
Such a great movie and infinitely quotable. My wife can not stand Jenny though, how shitty she is. Honestly.....now that I think about it I feel like every woman I have watched this movie with hates her.
It always upset me how jenny only came around when she knew she was about to die. A bad friend to the end. I know he would have been happy to be with her when their son was born.
@@Blueridge1961 ur SOOO rite. BLUERIDGE. I DONT EVEN. MESS AROUND THAT. MESS EWWWW. I DONT. Y SHE. EVEN DID THAT TOOO HER SELF. SHE COULD HAVE. HAD A BETTER LIFE. WITH. FOREST. I NOE. IT WAS A MOVIE. BUT LIKE U SAID. ITS. A. Destiny. Check THATS GOOD. UR SOOO RITE U NOE. GOOD CALL🙂🙂🙂
This film, remember watching it 30yrs ago (nearly) cried my eyes out then....but as a fit an healthy, not many life experiences 29yr old...now at nearly 60 it hits for different reasons, but still as powerfully
I love that the one thing Forest did even remotely close out of Malice was bulldozing the home of Jennys abusive father, something he didn't have to do or was asked too, but he did it for Jenny
