Forrest Gump (1994) Full Length Reaction
Added 2023-11-17 03:05:32 +0000 UTC"I don't know if we have a destiny, or if we're all just floatin' around accidental-like on a breeze, but I think maybe it's both."
This one was so epic! We follow Forrest through his entire life, set to a friggin stellar soundtrack + see him intersect with so many important moments in history. I laughed, I cried, I forgot I was watching Tom Hanks cause he was so great. Such a great movie!

I like your reaction including the outro. "Dear God, make me a bird. So I could fly far. Far far away from here." HIV meant death in 1982.

Dan's life is even more tragic when you consider that, since he thought he wouldn't be coming back from Vietnam, he probably never bothered to keep any savings in the bank or establish any close family ties or make any real friends -- so when he DID come back, there was really nothing to come back to.

2023-11-24 04:20:00 +0000 UTCI'm so conflicted about Jenny. She had so much of her own trauma to deal with and didn't know how to be loved, but because of that she kept taking Forrest for granted and only went back to him when she had nothing else and needed him. On one hand, I feel like she just used him as a backup when she needed him, but on the other I don't think she knew how to accept unconditional love.
