i think this is fake

Also a ping pong champion.

@@destroyerblackdragon and a shrimper

@@andrewp.3781 That parts redudant. He was a miiliomaire becuase he was a shrimp boat captain. Also because his partner made some good investments.

He also owns part of Apple 😅

@@plantbasedsniper Yes that was the good investments I was refering to.

the moto for life itself, and that isn't a bad thing, its liberating, actually

@@albertsaffron7582 I agree. It is very liberating. Everyone always wanted there to be a reason. Lt. Dan thought it was his destiny to die on the battlefield, for example. And all those people running behind Forrest expected him to have "all the answers." There had to be a reason, for them.

Anche io , è fantastica quella frase :" Senza un motivo particolare :".

And that "no particular reason" inspire a lot of people..

So that's where the phrase came from.

He was rich enough to get transportation back home.

he spent 3 years running across america, i think hes not bothered walking to the next airport

alabama and arizona both start with A so they are probably pretty close

​@@MrHecc yeah they both border Alaska 😂

​@@MrHecc so it's close to Arkansas too?

Yes. Also want a reason for everything. He doesn't need any to run.

Yeah I do run away from something Like an angry dog , chicken , goat , cow , sheep and especially the police

This movie is the main reason why I appreciate movies about life lessons than entertainment.

You can run without going anywhere.

USA

ok

That joke is so fucking old and unfunny

@@joshemane ok

@@joshemanefrom your profile pic, thought you would be happier than be a troll

how would the camera man be able to fly tho

He just felt like running.

If he called that little run i’m worried about an average run or big run

Imagine if he wanted to do a big run

@@TheRecklessBravery LOL imagine

When bro says he’ll be back on in a minute

But you haven't posted any video or stories on your channel related to that epic work.

its on the gram. Yeem3.14 and yeem2.0

@@jantelliquawallace355 what is gram, yeem.. sorry to ask but I never heard of these app so..

the first word is insta. The second word is gram. Gotta be careful with my wording. The computers don't like me talking about it.

No you didnt stop lying or provide proof

He was a celebrity basically, he wouldn't even need money for food/holtel. It would be free advertising. And he has money in the bank by that time from shrimping.

There probably also was someone with power of attorney over him to make sure he was cared for. I imagine once people started running with him, it became a little more organized. That many people would need to be supported by a convoy of vehicles.

@@J_Gill Not necessarily. They're running from town to town. As long as you made it to various towns to act as pit stops you could probably keep a surprisingly high number of people going as long as you don't stay in one small town too long.

a handful of benzos and coke

It is really amazing how movies can be created. I missed the old days when movies were like this

​@Vicious then the same question could be asked about the book if it was the case 🤣

@@J040PL7 Groom was inspired by both a 60 Minutes segment on savants, and hearing his father recall a slow-witted childhood neighbor in Alabama, he thought such a character made for a good protagonist.

@@xjcrossx if you miss the “old days” when movies were made like this, you’re watching the wrong movies today

I would consider it the best cult ever, or the only good cult, that I would follow

"My mama always said, “You got to put the past behind you before you can move on.”

Or a running joke.

Not really a cult if he didn’t take advantage of any of those people.

He didn’t make the cult, the first person to follow him did. Forest doesn’t say anything meaningful, so he’s perfect for a cult leader to project onto him any meaning they want.

If the dude can outrun a truck from his bullies, football players, bullets and bombs. I'm pretty sure he has nothing to worry about.

I hear ya deer try it all the time.

Especially on the roads of that era😂

Especially since he seems to run mainly on the right side of the road, its better to it on the left side so you can see if a car will go around you or not.

Not really... they had too many cars there.

Or he just rün.

Jenny was a horrible person when you think about it.

@@taylorc2542 you dont have to think about it whem tou watched the movie, she is a horrible person. The worst thing is she left a child, thats identity is unknown if its forrest child or just some douchebag son.

Poor stupid guy. So many better women.

@@bieateofan2251 True. But however gotta understand that Jenny was his best and only friend growing up. They were buddies. However Jenny grew up with her abusive father who sexualize her and didn't grow up with a mother nor siblings. Her journey towards s*x and drugs is her "running" to her father. Of course this took place during the 50s, 60s, and 70s. As much as I think Forest is better off without her, but at the same time she was really damaged and Forest like a best friend always there for her. Seems like whenever a guy comes into a woman's life who can fix her and yes this does sounds like simp talking, she always runs away from the nice guy and runs towards abusive guys who wants to use them as products. Including when it takes advantage of her kids. Which is really f* up. Forest is 100% innocent who he is. I was surprised by when they interview forest during his running that they didn't includes his other success like his shrimp boat career and other things as well. But I guess when this was made that they forgot about that part or the movie was out of order during shoot. However Forest really loved Jenny not for s*x nor as a simper as people would put it. But as a friend to the end. Running was the only thing forest was good at and he uses it to run away from his ghosts. We all been there. It's never easy letting go of someone you willing to die for. It is what it is bruh. But luckily for him he got his chance to be with Jenny to the end. Even though people would say that she only with him cause of her disease which I think she didn't know at the time or it was not as bad as it was before she married him. I don't know. Anyways I'm getting to deep into it. I'm sure you don't care at all and he needs to move on and stop being "beta" as some would put it. anyways have a good one fren

This phrase, for me, hits the nail directly on the head. Whenever I had a bad up to a terrible situation the stigma always "rented space" in my brain. When that happened that's when the alcohol and drugs came into my life as a suppression tool. Now that I'm nine years clean and in a 12 step program I can utilize the phrase "Get out of Self" when these situations crop up. My God definitely helps me out along with this too.

You forgot too add and I think that’s what my running 🏃‍♂️ was all about

@@marka.graffakasnakebitenat3736 Congrats on your 10 years of being sober!!!

hahaha

Have a nice…day! 🙂

this also concerns me ..

Did you miss the part where he said he stopped to sleep eat and shit

@@infamoussaint04 still though, that’s still hours of continuous running per day. Even dedicated marathon runners get hella tired after running a couple hours of marathon

@@infamoussaint04 Challenge for you: Run for 1 week straight with breaks being exclusively to "sleep eat and shit" It shouldn't be that hard for you, right?

@@megarboh790 well, marathon runners run a lot faster

​@@megarboh790 Bro, it's a movie

In the moon?

It's because there isn't anything being pushed. No philosophy or reason only action. On top of that it's constant movement seeing new beautiful places. Traveling. On the road. Free from all responsibilities good and bad. True art.

nigga you have an anime pfp

Im 22 and I've been through the same thing I've lost 3 family members years ago and a few days ago I was rejected by a woman so I decided to delete all my social media's and start truly working out to get my mind away from all that pain not caring about my looks anymore growing a struggle beard with messy over grown hair and told myself not to return until February 2025

It is a long road before you realize you don't need to run anymore. Unfortunately long

I know that feeling. I had a bad breakup 4 years ago. The first month of that was the roughest part.

I know. Many of us figured that out.. guys will do all kinds of risky, crazy things in life to numb the pain they go through..

​@@TERRELL_GASKINShow is it going

Me too.... It's like visiting the grandparents house in the countryside to have a picnic with cousins when we were children

It's the Jenne Farm in Windsor County, Vermont. You're welcome.

3:20 is very nostalgic to me, I love Appalachia and it’s filmed on one of my favorite mountains in my area (Grandfather Mountain)

@@lesfauvist I was going to guess Vermont. NY and Pennsylvania have many areas like that too.

Whoever filmed all those nature spots did a fantastic job. I'm a nomad traveling around the country and they totally grasped just how beautiful and vast the United States is

Rin

Why?

Escape the pain of his reality. Jenny

@gturcott1 correct Allan turing is a runner

He just felt like running

He was an all American football player. A Vietnam War veteran and a lifelong runner, so I guess the fictional character of Forrest Gump could probably do it.

What he's doing is just not possible. Nobody can run continuously for 8+ hours per day without stopping periodically for food, water, etc.

@@ThePlaton20 But he did stop to eat/sleep/etc

​@@TrainedCreeperDavid Goggins would agree.

@@ThePlaton20 There’s a literal line in the movie you chose to ignore that contradicts that he “Ran for 8+ hours per day without stopping periodically for food, water, etc.” 1:09 Did you just ignore this? Forrest says he stopped regularly to eat, drink water, and do necessities because he wanted to continue running.

For real?

idk if i should laugh or not

​@@tropicwalker6948 why wouldn't you it's hilaruous

Deserved

Underrated comment

Fr. I watched it a second time in my English III class

I’m watching it in my AP euro class currently after the AP exam

@@ligetisspaghetti5763 In 2023, that is literally a blessing. Please embrace something most high-school students will never experience.

@@sethderusseau3429 wdym we’ve watched it twice

I particularly like “It Keeps You Runnin” by The Doobie Brothers. 🔥🔥🔥

Also go your own way Fleetwood Mac

“On the road again “ by Willie Nelson

​@@NinjaBuddha503 why did willie nelson get hit by a car? he was playing on the road again!

Its Against The Wind by Highwaymen

No. But he'd run every marathon

@@professorx3060 yeah he might not win but he would do them all without struggling

He would finish every marathon 1 hour after the Kenia and Ethiopia runners with skinny long legs

Beautifully said!!!

That's the main morality. If you wanna do something, don't ask anyone's opinion on that, don't think too much about it, don't even ask yourself "Why?". If you feel for it, just f*cking do it straight up.

He probably only eats small and maybe eat some more free food if he is lucky.

@@adamharith782 what about pooping situation

@@rayrsd He did say: "When I need to, well, go..... I just go." Implied that he just poop and pee somewhere people cant see or public bathroom.

How did he go sleepong

@@SYDAirlineEnthusiast Well, gas station, sidewalk and public toilet exist my friend.

Look up ultra running

He had those stamina tonics. A sufficient abundance of them 👀

well he was a veteran

@@sophie________Veterans aren’t able to run for years almost non stop.

@@matthewjones39 he took breaks of course

@@sophie________ The only breaks he took were to sleep.

“To run until I see god, still haven’t found him yet… I’m tired I’m going home.”

It’s like saying SHHHHH louder and more annoying than anyone could’ve been talking

Favorite part.

He must have godlike cardio

This is so funny thinking about how HARD the heart would be beating at 30 bpm Yes it’d be slow but every beat would make his whole chest vibrate

Why RIP? He never died on screen and he's a fictonal character, so technically he's still alive

Probably had credit cards since they were invented back in 1966. Or spent his left over change in his pockets wisely.

If he took off his shoes, he'd probably be fine. Humans used to hunt by running their prey into heat stroke, meaning we're built for the long haul. Blisters on our feet are from lack of necessity to be able to sprint across continental distances, but I'd imagine it'd still be doable. Running on hot pavement or concrete is a different story entirely.

but he is rich

He’s a millionaire and credit cards are a thing…

It's strange but it just never spoke to me. I'm pretty sentimental but something about it just never worked. Oh well...

@@haitolawrence5986ts just about doing something cause you feel like it and such you know. Just not having worries or anything and just “living” and experiencing life. He felt like running so he ran then he stopped when he felt tired simple as. You not supposed to feel any sort of emotion or take something away form it. Thats why it got so big. Which is why i find the fact you included the word sentimental to be just kinda wrong.

​@@haitolawrence5986kazutrash

Goggins must of loved this movie

watch Lola rennt

they don't know me son🗿

How dare you compare Gump over him

That's what happens when you have an IQ less than 80 and tend to think everything literally.

For better or for worse, as history will show.

Well they did say he crossed it twice and then kep running so they do not actually specify how much he actually ran, only how much time

One assumes he didn't take a direct route, he went all over the place.

He crossed Mississippi River 4 times. I believe he doesn’t have a proper route or even a map. he just wants to run

Forrest didn't have Google maps. And damn that's all it takes? That might be fun.

Taking an unoptimized route from coast to coast probably. I wonder how long it would take someone to run across America in a giant zig-zag pattern.

Just like i said!

your damn fkn right

And the logs

🤣🤣

How are you now?

@@eamonreidy9534 alive, and now I write about my impossible life, published online.

i assume ppl dropped in and out all the time

for no particular reason

​@@abhiroopdas3232that plus some of the people definitely formed a cult around Forrest's run.

Same. And sometimes I feel like I just need to physically run away from all my problems.
