"Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it." -Bubba

I think a lot of people miss the part where he’s talking about his ancestor starting up the KKK and him being named after him. He says that the mom says that she named him that to remind him that sometimes people do things that just make no sense. Like it was a stupid thing for him to do that didn’t make no sense. Anyway, love your channel so far man. Keep it up!

As for what Forrest said during his speech, according to Tom Hanks he said, "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."

Forrest got Jenny dumped by her bf and she totally forgave him and invited him in. Then he got her fired from her singing job. She was angry with him when she told him to stay away. And she had a right to be.

Forrest, while disadvantaged at birth, was the recipient of a nurturing and loving childhood and accomplished great things. Jenny's childhood was the nightmare of sexual abuse from her father. This experience led to many poor decisions in her life. It wasn't until she was going to have her own child that she was able to straighten out her life. I applaud her willingness to change in order to give her child a better life. Even if you are cynical enough to believe she only got back with Forrest because she was dying and he had money, then she did the best she could for her kid.

Jenny knew that Forest was pure and she had a childhood that really messed her up so she never thought she was good enough for Forest and he should stay far away from her. However, Forest was the only one that showed her unconditional love and she finally realized how precious that that kind of love was.

In the hospital when Forrest gets the bundle of letters to Jenny it wasn’t a happy moment - all the letters were stamped “Return to Sender” or “Undeliverable” indicating that she never received any of them because she was nomadic - still unknowingly chasing whatever toxic people and behaviors she thought she needed trying to work through the horrific trauma of rape and sexual abuse afflicted upon her and her sisters alluded to early in the movie. A lot of fans of this movie shit on Jenny because of her fickle treatment of Forrest, but conveniently ignore the breadth of her early trauma at the hands of the man who was supposed to protect and nurture her. It doesn’t excuse her bad behavior, but damn, have a little empathy and understand why she turned out like that. Great movie. Worth multiple watches to catch references you may have missed.

Jenny is one of the most misunderstood characters of all time. Her type of life is not often portrayed in movies. I see a lot of myself in her so i understand her mental state of not understanding or feeling worthy of love, or even able to love herself. The drug abuse, the terrible men, the running away constantly...i did it all too. She would rather have her lifelong friend be in her life as a friend because she knew if they got together while she was messed up she'd only hurt him. A lot of people hate Jenny for that but I respect that she'd rather be friends than hurt Forest because she wasn't able to give him what he deserved. Jenny lived a very tortured life, her disgusting father is the villian of this story, not Jenny. ❤

Jenny was trying to protect Forrest from herself. She knew she was broken.

Dear God make me a bird, so I can fly far, far away...and as he leaves Jenny's grave, a flock of birds, fly away, from their tree. ✌️

The thing is Jenny did not think she deserved Forrest's love. Abuse victims often feel that way. Eventually, after the birth of their son, she finally understood what true love is about.

Saw this film in theaters when it first came out. I've probably seen it over 50 times. The part when he asks Jenny if little Forrest is smart or like him always gets me choked up. Never fails.

The role of Lt Dan changed Gary Sinise's life. Portraying a wounded vet and the reaction of vets to the film spurred him to found one of the largest vets charity - the Gary Sinise Foundation which builds accessible homes for wounded warriors and helps God Star families, etc.

Jenny was tourtured from her childhood of SA. Its actually common with people that experience that to not love themselves nor feel worthy of goodness, what they know is being treated badly so they believe that's what's real.

My mom looked exactly like Sally Field when we were kids and were convinced she had a secret movie career, I sincerely cried when she died. And that's all I have to say about that...Tom Hanks is absolutely brilliant, even when playing a local idiot. When LT. Dan comes with his magic legs made from the same as the space shuttle...the next year they were in Apollo 13th together! One of most clever, hilarious, heartfelt films ever.

Jenny is the very definition of broken.. She knew she would’ve broken Forrest..

"Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."

Have you seen Princess Bride yet? The actress playing Jenny is in that one too. Great movie, well worth a watch....

2 and a half minutes in, “this is not supposed to be a comedy, right?” That’s what I fucking love about this movie so much. It’s everything.
