The George Wallace shooting footage was the real news footage.

One of the best acted scenes in movie history. IMHO

It gets me too. When he sits to watch TV with him. All around this is my top 3. If it's on I watch it

This and Liam Neeson as Oscar Schindler saying "I could've got more..." is right up there on my list.

I cry every time such a beautiful and caring man.

The man is just too good!

this movie has a strong scene for everyone. its about life. at one point in the movie you see yourself. this makes it a masterpiece. while i see your powerful scene it was another one for myself :)

I loved it when he thanked Forrest for saving his life.

Lt. Dan has a great character arc. Few reactors mention that at the end, his fiance is Asian, most likely Vietnamese.

Even school bus driver goes from smoking to chewing nicotine gums

@@dr.burtgummerfan439 Korean. But Asian nonetheless

Unfortunately she ran from all of her problems and never learned to solve them.

Nonsense. She was an evil user who did nothing but take advantage of Forest, who was much more abused than her for a much much much longer time (his entire life)

@@unclebounce1495 That's such a shallow minded thing to say. You realize a person that has suffered from sexual abuse at a young age, are mentally fucked up for the rest of their lives.

She also kept telling Forrest that he didn't know what love is, while in reality she's the one that doesn't know what love is.

@@Chimponaut Exactly. She was chasing the same abuse her dad passed on to her.

Hey Sane Lucid! Tom Hanks is certainly one of the best actors of all time. Very talented! I think in the Mid-Late 1990s was really Hank's peak, with films like Saving Private Ryan, Cast Away, and The Green Mile. As far as Forrest Gump goes, I Just find this movie to be Very Inspirational! Also, I often Personally connect with this movie because my brother actually has Autism (So Forrest and my brother can relate a bit in that they are both disabled). I also just wanted to mention that Last Year, I actually posted a video on my KZfaq channel that was almost like a tribute video to Forrest Gump (though I called it a Mashup). You see, there's a band named Family Of The Year, and they used their hit song "Hero" for Richard Linklater's 2014 movie called Boyhood. For my video, I used "Hero" as background music while showing various scenes from Forrest Gump. Aside from matching song lyrics with movie scenes, my intention with the video was to try and create something unique. If you have a few minutes sometime and are interested, here is a link to that video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdhdpqyas6eyiZs.html If you don't check it out, then no worries! I would Not be offended at all! But Thank You So Much in advance if you do see it! I hope you Have a great day today, Sane Lucid! Please Stay Safe, Please Stay Awesome! 🙂🙂🙂 Thank You For Your Time!

There is only one actor who can compare with him, the Tom Hanks of my parents' generation...Jimmy Stewart. I wish there were more reactors who would take a deep dive into his filmography...

That and also the scene with the Black Panthers, and Jenny’s boyfriend hits her. It’s just his face but it’s fire

I get choked up when he asks if his son is like me every time. Just that acknowledgment that he knows he’s not like everyone else, and how much harder that would make his son’s life has me in tears. 😭

Appropriately enough, that is one of the specific scenes they used for his audition. Definitely a good one to use, because it is easily one of the most important scenes in the entire movie, performance-wise. It is the one that must be done right, and Tom Hanks absolutely NAILED it

It really highlights Hanks' talent as an actor.

I always agree with that perspective up until the baby was born. Trauma or not, hiding a kid from their parent is wrong.

@@SyntheticCK however, it didn't help that a good chunk of the time when she found out that she was pregnant and even giving birth to Forrest Jr. and then raising him for a few years... Forrest was on the road running from place to place for (I believe it was) around 3 years. During that time he didn't visit his home in Alabama and didn't have a phone number that she could reach him. It's not like he had a cell phone at this point that she could just give him a call and say, "I'm pregnant," "We had a child together," etc. She may not have even been aware when he finally stopped running. We only know once that she saw him running on TV. For all, we know she may have tried to call Forrest a few times but he was not home.

@@ericfink1331 Then you do what a person would do in that time period and send a letter. That way he would find out asap.

@@SyntheticCK where would she have sent it to as he didn’t have a mailing address to send it to other then his home in greenbo which he wasn’t there for at least three years.

@@ericfink1331 Of course send it to his house. The timing isn't the issue, it's the not doing anything at all part.

And they pass through the 70s with 2 of the most prominent tracks for those of that time.

Forrest was exceptional. Most not-slow people raised by a single mom don’t turn out the way he did

the feather as well can represent her dream of being a bird. With him thru the story and always watching over him.

I didn't think of that.

@@tomyoung9049 I think the feather is reference to destiny or chance and outside forces without intelligence or design. "Are we all floating aimlessly?"

“Free Bird” playing as she was standing on the ledge about to….

@@OriginalPuro She prayed, and the situation changed for her and her sisters quickly into something positive. :) I know what you're thinking "coincidence" yes, that perfect escape word for atheists.

Hanks delivers so many simple lines so perfectly in this movie. "I'm not a smart man, but I know what love is." "She had got the cancer and died on a Tuesday", even the ubiquitous "And that's all I go to about that." He packs simple lines, spoken by a "simple" man, with so much meaning.

So glad to see someone else appreciate that line. It’s my favorite too. Powerful wisdom from such a simple minded character.

I love that line too, so simple yet so accurate

Jenny was dumb

It was a gut punch. She was finally turning her life around, then she dies.

@@azazello1784 She was victim of abuse all her life, her behaviour is understandable.

@@madizzle90 Jenny was supposed to have died from Hepatis B due to intravenous drug use.

I always cry at that scene. That was his love and his good friend from childhood.

Yesss! It bothers me so much that ppl expect Jenny to be with Forest regardless of how bad she would've been for him had she given in when the audience wanted her too. She needed growth, she needed to stop running. She got caught in the running instead of facing her past demons which is why she breaks down in front of her childhood home..which ironically enough is torn and tattered like her. Forest demolishes that house after she dies.

@@oliviarogers3559 I would have kept it the same but have Jenny explain that she loves him too but he deserves better than her. It would have hit harder and explain to a lot of people (who somehow tend to not realize) how broken she is because of her childhood.

Also keep in mind that Jenny keeps getting involved with abusive people and putting herself in to escapist, ultimately self-destructive situations. She doesn't KNOW what her issue is. But she is constantly treating herself as unworthy of happiness. It takes her having a child who loves her unconditionally for her to alter her self image. And then come back to the one other person in her life who had always, unconditionally been there for her.

It's likely not just that she felt defective, but it's also a case of who Forrest is. Forrest isn't the smartest guy and while Jenny knows he's smarter than people give him credit for, he's still like an innocent child in a lot of ways. She can't reconcile that child-like innocence of Forrest and her romantic and sexual feelings for him. If she acts on them, then she feels like she's almost taking advantage of him, someone he loves and trusts. Her past makes her see it like her own trauma, someone that is supposed to love and protect taking advantage of an innocent person who may not fully comprehend what's going on. In that situation, Forrest is her and she's her father, but she doesn't want to be like her dad and she doesn't want to do that to someone else. The tragedy of the relationship between Jenny and Forrest largely stems from Jenny's traumatic childhood and if it hadn't of happened, they would've likely ended up as a couple far, far sooner.

@@oliviarogers3559 No, I don't. But I'm not the character in question, so my outside perspective is irrelevant to her decision making process. I don't think she's a bad person either, just someone who had issues stemming from trauma that influenced her decision making process. As someone who also has issues stemming from trauma, I understand that it can cause you to make choices that others may not understand, but are logical to you, even if they're based on illogical/irrational thoughts. That doesn't mean we're blameless from the effects of our decisions/actions, but nothing Jenny did was malicious, just out of desire to protect herself and/or Forrest. She was a good person, she just unfortunately made some bad decisions before she came to terms with her trauma.

Ehhh...it’s ok

One of my favorites. I really love that one man alone on an island survival

90%, may 85%, of that movie is just Tom Hanks acting by himself. Amazing actor.

@@leniobarcelos1770 that made me chuckle

@@leniobarcelos1770 Wilson overacted too much.

"She thought that Forest was such a good soul that she was no good for him." People are so often mad at Jenny for leaving and not loving Forrest back; however, you nailed it. She knew Forrest as being pure and good; the complete opposite of how she saw herself. I also think that younger people don't realize that Jenny died from AIDS.

@@Shzzaam so you are adding info not shown in the movie at all. In fact, it's not for sure it was HIV. The author of the book indicated it was Hep B, which also became known in the early 80s. (Others say the author was not stating the truth. We'll never know for sure.) Maybe you could create your own movie with your own story line.

How is that fun?

@@eatsmylifeYT How was it not fun?

@@jp3813 You tell me.

@@eatsmylifeYT Ditto.

@@jp3813 Saying "ditto" means you're too stupid to explain it.

And after you watch You've Got Mail, you must watch Jimmy Stewart in the original, Shop Around the Corner.

True. They both could work for the story. HepC was still without a ‘cure,’ and both could be contracted from IV drug use. What made me think it was HIV, was because she says they don’t know what the virus is, and I’m pretty sure we were familiar with HepC by the 80s.

@@Ivy94F According to the sequel's script, (and Tom Hanks) it was HIV. Forrest Jr. was found to be HIV positive as well, and it apparently progressed into AIDS. People found out about it, and were concerned with sending their kids to school with him.

@@Ivy94F HIV was first identified in ''83. Hep C was first identified in '89.

Woah, great underrated comment. Never seen the "running" put in such a way. Brilliant

He did run when she left him after that night together. For three years.

The author said it was hepatitis.

@@skeetercoddiwomple6269 Yeah I was going to ask about that. I heard some people say the book was Hepatitis while the movie was Aids.

Yes it is disheartening when she is hated upon. I think she resenates with those of us who went through some kind of abuse from parents/siblings /others, whether it was verbal, emotional or sexual.

@@tessesmom I think some of the reactors are just kinda simple...

Mental health and psychological are extremely misunderstood in this country

@@Shzzaam XD true

@@cassu6 Stupid is as stupid does.

some people. like feathers flowing about with the wind, will enter your life at the most unexpected of times and turn your world upside down, before they move with the wind again. forrest is that sort of person

For the longest time, I thought of it as some angel feather. His life was blessed from when he found the feather and as long as he kept it, then much later in life, when his life is stable with his son, the "feather" leaves. only later, did I realize that although he finds it early in the movie, it wasn't early in his life.

I echo every word of this!

The Jenny hate infuriates me.

@@summerrose8110 yeah, besides not comprehending the long-lasting impact of that abuse, it shows lack of comprehension of the limitations and expectations of the times.

@@tinatidmore3809 Exactly. I've seen reactors who bash Jenny by thinking,"Oh Jenny sucks" or "What's wrong with Jenny?" And I'm just like,"Did you really think that after suffering sexual abuse by her father at a young age was going to go away?" Jenny's psyche was messed up since the beginning, so when we see her in multiple abusive relationships, and Forrest helps her, but not even he realizes that is all Jenny knows. When she tells Forrest to run or says he doesn't know what love is, she's projecting herself onto him to stay away from her because she doesn't love herself and feels she would ruin Forrest.

@@summerrose8110 and he represents the home and childhood she wants to leave, to find love through fame. He would be bringing her back, so she just ran, ran from him, from her home, and toward a way out, a way to what she believed would make her whole, heal that wound. What upsets me the most is people having no comprehension of what it would have been like for a sexually abused child IN THAT TIME. Shame, no resources (especially in rural Alabama), no understanding in society of how that abuse changes a person's psyche and leads to drug abuse and other self-destructive behavior. Stop putting 2021 society's expectations and conditions on a person in her 20s in 1970s.

thank you!

And of course some mouth replacement and dubbing (like with JFK and John Lennon)

There are a lot of subtle things as well. ‘’Bear” Bryant and college football, AIDS, …

No, he asked if his son was smart. Get your shit straight.

This movie, as well as American Graffiti , and Dazed & Confused Best 3 soundtracks & would be extremely hard to pass copyright on KZfaq , during reaction videos - Also, those are great movies !

That's not necessarily true. Any soldier can fill out the paperwork and nominate any other soldier for any award. A commander's recommendation is obviously taken into account in most cases, but if the commander is unavailable - say, because his legs had been blown off recently - then a higher ranking commander in the chain can certainly still push it up.
