FORREST GUMP (1994) MOVIE REACTION!! FIRST TIME WATCHING! 

same, tearing up over here!

Oh gosh same. I'm like how is he not tearing up watching this, especially the scene at Jenny's grave. Just seeing a glimpse of it has me crying a bit.

same

Rowan the Valiant that scene breaks me everytime

@@FinickyFelix I cry when he asks if his son is Smart or like him. I also cry thinking about Bubba and all the things they could've done together.

It's heartbreaking because he was afraid that his son have the same condition as him

@@rousrouslan4023 Exactly 👍 I don't think he'd shown that his difference had an effect on him untill that point in the story...it mattered all of a sudden and he acknowledged it...he knew all along. So touching.

tear up what

@@mikemath9508 🥲 tear...

The pureness of Forrest is so perfect, that after everything Jenny has done to him, manipulation, leaving, and now keeping his son secret until she learns she is sick, and the FIRST thing he thinks about after learning he is the father isn't. "How could you not tell me" It was "Is he like me" Unbridled love from Forrest is so powerful, makes me cry every time.

I think its best we didnt hear the speech

@@artygunnar I don’t mind behind the scenes stuff. I’m glad he shared.

That's funny, the first lines he says that are audible are: "In Vietnam, you're....."

@@artygunnar most of forests lines are stupid in this movie and are just delivered perfectly by tom hanks. if he got slow and emotional thinking about it could have been great to but i think they didnt want to pull you down when jenny shows up 3 seconds later and its supposed to be more of an uplifting wimsical scene.

I cry enough during this movie. This would just make it worse lol. How beautiful and sad

Just about everywhere

Ah I see

beat me to it lol

Dang after all this years i caught that, poor forest 😢

I was today years old when I learned that 🥺

day ruined. :/

Lieutenant Dan is my hero. Love him.

Well the legs that lieutenant Dan has don't have any joint. they do not bend. So he doesn't have a choice except for maybe taking the legs off completely

He finally finds his peace with God.

@@Gnossiene369 what cult are you talking about? There are no cults in the film. If you're talking about Christianity, that's not a cult. Lt. Dan accepts God, gets over the bitterness caused by the war and becomes happy. "he never actually said so, but I think he made his peace with God"

Notice when he almost gets hit by the taxi he says “I’m walking here!” even though Forrest is pushing him in the wheelchair. He’s clearly still in denial at that point and hasn’t fully acknowledged his situation. I just noticed he’s the only person close to Forrest who doesn’t die in the end. He has a similar arc to Forrest in that he learns to deal with his situation and use his “new” legs. Also I always liked the fact that he keeps his promise by becoming Forrests first mate. It seems like a lesson he learned directly from Forrest and in the end is good for him as he eventually “makes peace with God” and lives a good life afterward.

Fun Fact Part two: Tom Hanks, although committed to the script after 1,5h of reading it, made it a condition of taking part in the film to ease the strong southern accent. Only after beeing introduced to the actor of young Forrest (Michael Conner Humphrey) he decided to keep it the way it was intended, as Micheal actually spoke with this accent.

Fun fact 3: kurt Russell is doing the voice of elvis in the movie Fun fact 4: people say Jenny died of aids. Someone involved with the movie claimed she died from hepatitis. (Personally - im with the aids people - Jenny was a bit too loose!)

@@andreadeamon6419 If the mother had AIDS the child would get it too right ? I feel she had aids too..

@@potatoface1041 not necessarily no

The clip of Tom Hanks explaining it on the Graham Norton Show is hilarious. "My daddy makes grease."

She's what's wrong with the world

Ignored and rejected the only person that really cared about her, then gave him aids

@@casmatori she had Hepatitis-C

@@dakotacrosby3057 and not her father?

@@casmatori Pretty sure Forrest didn't get sick though.

yup

That reaction when jenny says “you’re his daddy Forrest” is the Oscar

That makes me really sad, but I start tearing up when he's under the tree talking to Jenny.

That's way awesome 😄

I was wondering about that, actually - if the kid actor was also putting a voice on.

Tom Hanks talking about it on Graham Norton show ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QmMHP6JxU4s.html

Porfle Popnecker yes, Michael Conner Humphreys

Another stroke of genius by Tom Hanks there. Also, when Bubba first introduces himself to Forrest and goes, "I'm Benjamin Buford Blue, people call me Bubba", it was Tom's decision to improvise, "I'm Forrest Gump, people call me Forrest Gump" Haha :)

Truth.

@Vincent Kinney “Touché “

Gets me every time, but Bubba wasn’t exactly a rocket biologist himself. I like to think Bubba heard all that wasn’t said in that “hey” from his best good friend.

That line made me make sure I left nothing unsaid with my mum and Thank God! She died suddenly and I could rest assured that nothing was unsaid.

I've been raped, I've been molested... I cant imagine dealing with an entire childhood filled with that

StormCrowYo Jeeez Jenny was doing her own running 🤯

Jenny was the villain of this movie.

thef13nd138 I think the real villain were the friends Forrest made along the way

"Hence, leaving after sleeping with Forrest would be an act of self-loathing rather than anything directed at Forrest." Another factor could be that she left to protect Forrest.

Yup, evertime

That part was hilarious 😂

@@BrandonLikesMovies I love him pasted into black and white film from the news from the time

My favorite is when he run and all the people follows Forrest by the country.... And he stop,lol!.

Yeah, 8 don't know that I buy the Water Gate story anymore. They have wrapped a nice bow around it but after all the bull shit I have seen over the past couple of yrs, the bulk shit we are living through now. Gotta at least wonder.

Every time I watched the film, that was the moment that made me crack up!

Hahaha

Man, watched him reactin in a row to Shawshank, Forest and Oldboy cried like a bitch 5 times...

“RU-vid”

@Mark W NEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRD!!!

I think it feels good to know someone else feels the same emotions about it. It’s like, ok, I’m good, I knew it was awesome but now I’m validated.

Ohhhh gotcha, that makes sense

kids these days unaware of how snail mail addresses works. lol.

Yeah, I've heard young people these days don't know how to write an actual letter (or dial a rotary phone!). I guess it's true! LOL.

@@victorsixtythree Why would they need to? Do you know how to start a fire with just sticks or use a loom? Or does technology just keep advancing and render the old way of doing things obsolete. Why are you on RU-vid when you could be watching a black & white TV?

@@victorsixtythree Kids these days don't know what floppy disks are so it's no surprise to me they don't know how to dial a rotary phone. Ask them why we say "roll down the windows" in a car and watch their blank stare.

Hahaha

@@BrandonLikesMovies ❤️

Lol snap!! Was for my bed then this pops up. Luck of the irish for ya

As is Irish tradition

Dia duit.

The gravesite scene is the one that always gets me

He's such an amazing actor

I always well up at that point 😢

Alan Milne I always tear up at that part. And when he talks to Jenny under the tree after she passed 💔

I literally teared up just watching that scene in this reaction video. I'm a mess when I watch the movie for real.

I tear up during a scene that Brandon didn't include. It's when Forrest talks about his running and describing the landscape and how it felt and then we see this beautiful shot of it, that is so beautiful it hurts. That is where I cried when I saw the movie the first time.

Ohhh is that where that phrase originated?

@@BrandonLikesMovies YES. And, that's another must watch film for you.

They also used the same iconic song from that film: "Everybody's Talkin' At Me".

After watching review, I went through the comments if anyone mentioned this reference :D Good job Imdiyu

Hoffman’s line wasn’t part of the script either. An actual taxi that wasn’t part of the filming tried to intimidate him out of its way, so he ad-libbed a reaction to it which they kept in the film and became iconic. Lt. Dan’s irony here is great multiple entendre.

I cry threw out the whole movie....

I've never cried at a movie

James Dawson I always start bawling when I see it😭

Even just that little glimpse we got set me off. It's SOOO powerful.

Naruto Uzamaki Indeed. I was at a very low point in my life, and this movie was the elixir. I left the theater thinking I had just witnessed something absolutely soul-stirring.

sooo true!

that's why I like channels like this. I get to live vicariously through the watchers. I first found Brandon due to his Breaking Bad series... I've watched that a couple times... lol

Actually the author made a sequel and said Jenny died if Hepatitis C from her drug use

Marah Baker whether it’s HIV or Hepatitis C I want to know if Jenny gave it to Forrest the night she slept with him. If she infected him with something I will forever hate her character!

@@117rebel Back then little was known about those diseases I guess.

@@117rebel dont think she infected forrset.. the kid was 4 or 5 years old so if she had infected him he would have already have been sick.

My family was having movie night. We were watching Forrest Gump and my bro wouldn't stop talking during the movie. So, out of spite, I told him Jenny had AIDS and gave it to Forrest. And also, the movie, Philadelphia, where Hanks plays an AIDS patient, was actually the sequel. He was like "Really?!" I told him no.

@@williamshelton4318 Jenny was raped, abused by her dad and had issues + trauma from that abuse that followed her through life, she is not stupid and it's immature to say something like that

Jenny is a deeply, damaged person and a tragic character. That doesn't make her stupid, or a bad person. Her abuse as a child has quite obviously shaped her character to a massive degree, and you can see how that cycle is perpetuated in the way she constantly ends up in bad relationships even as she runs from the one good one she has. I think she knows this on some level, but there are a lot of things that cause her to push Forrest away. You can view it as her not wanting to ruin or be disappointed with the one truly levelling influence in her life, self esteem issues making her think she doesn't deserve it, a desire to protect Forrest from herself because she knows just how fucked up a place she is at and doesn't want to make him deal with that, and even an element of her knowing full well that Forrest isn't neurotypical and feeling like she is taking advantage of him, possibly even feeling like an abuser herself. There are a lot of complicated elements in play in their relationship over the years.

@@MikkiManson13 I dislike her. She is a degenerate.

I think of this every time I hear FreeBird

Notice they play the song from that same movie

Midnight Cowboy is a really good movie too, complete with the grimy New York setting.

Also the joke that he says he’s walking here when he’s in a wheelchair.

And Dustin Hoffman improvised that part when a civilian accidentally turned onto the set and nearly hit him.

That line is used in Back to the Future 2 also

I'm so glad I could provide it! You're welcome, and I'm so grateful for your support!

Thanks! 😄

Me too buddy

@@BrandonLikesMovies "Im walking here" when dan almost gets hit by the taxi is from another great movie that won a few oscars, "Midnight Cowboy". Dustin Hoffman makes the line famous

It's FORREST GUMP Mama always said "Woooooww."

Lol

You wasn’t raised to not judge a book by its cover? Damn

@@lewdyson4744 not many people are

@@PolarBear-rc4ks real shame, makes me appreciate my parents seeing how others were raised

iv never watched forest Gump but half a year ago I went to the London bubba Gump restaurant the food was trash but the restaurant lookt cool

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. has restaurants in Dayton Beach and at City Walk, Universal Studios Orlando. It's Forrest Gump themed. They have license plates on the tables that say RUN and STOP so your server will know if you need anything. They also play a trivia game with you asking various movies questions. The food is good too.

Tobias engstrøm the food’s great whatchu talkin bout

@@hippychikforever They actually have 38 locations, check their website

@Triple Four fair point

Nothing wrong with being a bit of both.

I've been really wanting to see that one!

Brandon Likes Movies Excellent suggestion by Jack. “Contact” is excellent. 👍

Yes! I can second that. I read the book before I saw the film and I fully expected the film to be a typically poor Hollywood adaptation that wouldn't "get" what the book was about and end up dumbing it down... but it didn't do any of that. Zemeckis is on top form (personally I think it's one of his best) with Jodie Foster heading up a great cast, who all knock it out of the park.

Uff, that's a wonderful one. Apollo XIII somewhere down the line too. V for Vendetta... so many!!

@@BrandonLikesMovies Yeah, you should watch that one. It's a good movie and it's based on a novel by Carl Sagan himself.

oh my..goodness yes.

that pedophile movie??

A little hard to shake the creepiness out of that one. Still a good movie, but really not for everyone.

It was more like a shared misery ageless, love-struck, father/mental illness thing. The professional had never had those emotions before and the point of the movie was more about the two of them helping each other in the least likely way imaginable. The sexual themes were suggestive to Leon's immaturity not creepiness. It's mostly creepy cause of Matilda having a crush on him, but it's established early she's a bit pretentious lol.

@@NiceGuyEddy12 I call BS on your BS.

Liza Johnson thats the point though is that she was awful but learns to realize Forrest is the only one who will be with her no matter what

@@gamingsaint6238 in the video, he thought she wrote him all those letters, but all she did was return them. i was just pointing it out since he seemed to miss that while watching

@Liza Johnson You have to remember he was writing to where her grandma lived, where he thought she still was. But she left to who knows where. And we as the audience can assume the grandma passed and whoever lived there sent the letters back. At least that's how I always looked at it.

@@upem3621 She didn't return them. She wasn't even there to accept them. The story makes it pretty clear the she was everywhere but in Alabama during the couse of it.

@@gamingsaint6238 she was on run. She was at every place then alabama that's why she never knew Forrest wrote her letters.

Yes, thank you!

абсолютно верно.

Watch the movie!

Oh, man that's a classic.

^ this. Gary Oldman is my favourite actor of all time for a reason. Also watch True Romance. Written by tarantino, directed by Tony Scott and huge all star cast...possibly one of my favourite films also. Alongside Leon. Brandon likes movies...he just hasn't seen any. So he likely hasn't seen Leon or True Romance or even know wtf we are talking about. My theory? He's an alien learning human social interaction online and through movies. Joke? You decide. O.o *x-files music*

Lenny. Bring me everyone.

Oof. Yes please. The Professional.

But then which Jenny were the letters coming from?

@@inf3cted194 They were 'Returned To Sender'. Forrest got all of them back because they were undeliverable.

@@cleekmaker00 Holy crap. I didn't notice that until now. Taking a look at it again... It's just sad.

I didn't get that scene either when I saw it. It's kinda hard to see, but I did figure she didn't right back in the end.

Thank you for the kind words and for subscribing! Hope you continue to enjoy the videos 😁

Don't tell us. Tell your grandpa

It's also from Back to the Future 2

Ratso Rizzo

Omg yasss

I noticed this during Lockdown I rewatched loads of older films I hadn’t seen since I was a kid and it was a totally different viewing experience

Same to all of this!

Full length reaction on my Patreon 🙂

I whole heartedly agree with you. There's been 100+ years of cinema, no one can be expected to have seen every movie ever considered to be a "classic".

correct. people get used to the chaos.

То, как дорог был ей Форрест мы видим и из того, что она назвала сына его именем. Самым дорогим для неё именем.

Life WAS like a box of chocolates.

Gwildor And then the murders began.

Well I can definitely see why Gump won just for the sheer achievement making a film of that scale was, but out of the 3 I liked Shawshank the best

@@BrandonLikesMovies Yeah, is The BEST!.

@@BrandonLikesMovies Thank you! Shawshank is also my favorite among the three but Forrest Gump is also great and if I were voting for an Oscar, I still might vote for Forrest Gump for the achievement of the scale, at least I would consider it. Because I don't think voting in regard to only personal taste is 100% fair.

Great reaction as always! Cheers!..✌️👽💛

@Kellie What lists? Shawshank is often at the top or near the top of great movies lists.

Directed by Ron Howard. The late Bill Paxton and Kevin Bacon are in it too. Would love to see a reaction! Since he is very much into space movies (he´s seen Encounters and 2001), he has probably seen it before tho.

Dansker? 😮🇩🇰

I'll definitely check that one out at some point! Thanks for the recommendation 😁

@@BrandonLikesMovies You definitely have to watch this, but I would watch Leone's (famous) movies chronologically - it is quite interesting to follow his development. First the Dollars Trilogy, then the "Once upon a time" Trilogy. All of them are masterpieces.

Perfect timing! 😄

Hope you start feeling better!!

Orange Taxi this made me so happy :’)

Agreed, fantastic actor!
