@@AudioAlure empathy for a fictionnal caractère ffs it's a prime exemple of she's for the streets plus if it was real she gave both forrest and her son AIDS
Exactly, it's like anyone who has gone through that stuff as a kid, they are emotionally damaged for life. Was it their fault? Of course not but the long term effects from that sort of thing are completely irreversible
I always felt Jenny was perfectly reasonable until she left Forrest's home in Alabama after they had sex and she did not tell him she had his kid. Before that, she just considered him a friend from back home. It was not her fault Forrest loved her and she did not have to return those feelings. But after she stayed with him in Alabama, she was taking advantage of Forrest's feelings and knew it. She slept with him because she knew she needed to show Forrest she did "love him". But then felt guilty because it was pity sex she was giving and ran. Messed him up so bad he ran for three years. Then she had his kid and never told him. It is implied if she was not dying she never would have told him. Maybe she didn't tell him because she knew he did not chose this and having the baby was her decision. But it was still pretty crappy. And it was shown she did have her life together then and was not partying anymore, so there was really no reason not to tell him and she knew he would be a good dad. And she only married him because she was dying so why not? It was what he always wanted and Forrest was her son's dad. She did end up "loving him", but it was obviously never "romantic love". It was good friend love.
sad how her father ruined her, she ended up desiring men who hurt her like her daddy did bc that’s all she knew of love during her most formative years. I like to think if she never had that awful man for a father then she woulda been in the typa mind space to see gump for gump, but maybe that’s just wishful thinking. I’m just happy she at least allowed gump to have his life long dream in the end, she loved the man but not the way he wanted and tbh that’s fine, not what we or him desire but perfectly fine
3:11 "he now has a friendlier companion who intently listens" I imagine the black lady zoned out a tad when Forrest mentioned being a decendent of a guy who founded the Ku Klux Klan 😂
7:34 Tom hanks said the speech "Sometimes when people go to Vietnam, they go home to their mommas without any legs. Sometimes they don't go home at all. That's a bad thing. That's all I have to say about that."
Ignore this outline of the movie. This person missed the central theme of this movie, destiny, as well as the sub-themes. If you don't understand how Jenny's character is part of the theme, that she and Forrest are polar opposites in their approach to life, then you are missing a huge part of their story. Jenny, Lt Dan, Bubba, and Momma, all contribute a different approach to destiny. In the end Forrest says, "I don't know if we each have a destiny or if we're all just floating' around accidental-like on a breeze. But I, I think maybe it's both."
Yeah, he sort of left out that Jenny was being sexually abused by her father. She thought love was hurtful and abusive and went from bad relationship to bad relationship. She didn't understand Forrest's kind, caring, pure love.
It's not a great film.......it's a smoke grenade of lies, that fogs the savage reality of America's foundation....... genocide ,land theft ,slavery and constitutionally legislatively institutionally validated racism....
Forrest somewhat reminds me of Eminem at his prime, with his mimics, behavior and even a bit with his looks, who's with me, the only difference is that Em does it ironically while Forrest does it naturally
Jenny is nowhere near the unbearable levels of Skyler. Jenny just made the wrong decisions in life and Forrest keeps seeing the good girl in her. I found that dynamic really sweet. Every time Jenny left Forrest can be argued against as Jenny just not feeling ready for Forrest. Being Forrest’s friend can be just as difficult as it can be a breeze at times. And Jenny is a physical version of that statement.
For those who haven't seen them, I'd recommend that you check out Of Human Bondage (1934) and Casino (1995). In Of Human Bondage, the character Mildred (Bette Davis) is established as quite a jerk towards our main character Philip. Who despite trying to show her kindness, Mildred states that she plans to marry much more wealthier men, therefore Philip is wrong for having feelings for her, only for her relationships to all go south as the men she chooses are either abusive, conniving, liars who even were already married, establishing how she doesn't have trust in actual people who are much more lower class like Philip and why she chooses the wealthier ones. But this only leads makes her to grow more and more cruel and manipulative, as we watch as Philip, who despite getting much more ahead in life, throws it away to help her. This leads to us (the audience) groaning at the screen saying, "Philip, she not worth it!". But the movie knows this. Therefore, watching him near the end finally leave her is pretty satisfying, seeing how he finally has opening his eyes to who Mildred is. In Casino (which ironically came out a year after Forrest Gump), Ginger (Sharon Stone) is a street-smart hustler at several Vegas casinos. She's has grace, wit, beauty, and could have been having a successful life (despite her crooked ways), if it wasn't for her abusive pimp Lester, who's been using her at a very young age and continuously takes everything she earns. But Sam "Ace" Rothstein was so in love with her that he felt the need to help her, therefore gave her everything she wanted, but it was never enough for Ginger. Heck, Ace even proposes to her after knowing her for only a few months, and despite Ginger pleading to Ace that he really shouldn’t and how he doesn't know her or what love even is, they still marry. But again, this isn't framed as a huge “happily ever after”, but how Ginger would lead to Ace's downfall. Although it's established that he's no better, due to him being a long time gangster with several mob ties and is quite a ruthless dude himself. Which I guess is the major difference between him and characters like Forrest and Philip. But in any event, unlike in Forrest Gump (1994), rather than being framed as someone who'll save the woman they love from their toxic and abusive life, Casino and Of Human Bondage frame their male leads as complete fools (And a bit of a simp...) who are letting women, who are nothing but bad news, lead them to collapse. And the women who had live a bad life will never change for the bad deeds they've done, despite we (the audience) understand why they ended up that way. With them even meeting a horrible fate.
You should watch the movie before commenting. He loved her from day one like she truly deserved but she didn't return that even if she was traumatised. I said she didn't deserve his love especially as she never give a shit about him while running through hundreds of train 😅
Like tbh, just because a boy is nice doesn’t mean you owe him your chastity. Maybe she just wasn’t feeling it. Yeah she made a lot of bad choices, but she made it very clear she wasn’t into him.
@@denimchicken104 Gump was a nice guy he never sat here and made her love him. People who deal with abuse make terrible decisions based on what’s familiar to them, unfortunately she didn’t have feelings for Forest coz he would of been great for her, but she couldn’t escape her past. I just don’t like that she gets a lot of hate she didn’t do anything wrong and she shouldn’t have to give herself to a guy just coz she’s nice.
"She made it very clear she wasn't into him." So that's when she told Forrest she _did_ love him, then made love to him, then left him?? What was that, grrl?
