by texas you surely mean 'alabama'

Fun fact: if you look at the all the people sitting down at the wedding, you can see Bubba’s family sitting there.

Oh! And the actor Gary Sinise, was so moved by his character in this movie, he has spent his life now supporting wounded veterans. To see Lt. Dan come out the other end was important to him as an actor. Veterans were very supportive and commented on how it helped them, hence his decision. Art can truly do so many things for people in so many different ways! 😻💕

“The day you become a shrimp boat captain, I will be your first mate. That the day I become an astronaut.” The next movie that Tom Hanks and Gary Sinese were in was “Apollo 13”.

The reason Lt Dan was standing at Forrest's wedding is because he spent too much of his life sitting in a chair.

The context of forrest going to college that you asked about: in 1963 the federal government forced the university of Alabama to integrate. The governor of Alabama was george wallace and he symbolically blocked the door of the building that was actual footage of the event and they added forrest into it. George wallace was shot and that was actual footage. And also forrest played on a national champion team for paul bear bryant who is one of the reasons that The Crimson Tide have such a prestigious football programs

Your "white on white crime" comment cracked me up! By the way, the "I'm walking here!" line in the movie is a nod to the same line delivered by Dustin Hoffman while crossing a New York City street in the film Midnight Cowboy.

The Watergate is a luxury hotel in Washington DC. It’s mostly associated with political corruption, especially with President Nixon who resigned after his political party broke into the hotel where the opposing political party setup their HQ.

I’ve seen a couple of other reactions to this movie but you are the first person to see how Jenny doesn’t love herself or feel worthy of his love because of her childhood. Glad to see an empathetic response! Enjoyed watching your reaction too, thank you young man! 😽💋🎥

Ty for reaction. I'm 67, disabled veteran. Gary Sinise, aka Lt Dan has done a lot for us. Like Toby Keith.

48:17 Texas accent? They were from Alabama, not Texas. Famous, Iconic line: "You know what I think? I think you should go home to GREENBOW, ALABAMA!!" Tom Hanks' got his accent from Michael Conner Humphreys, the little boy who played young Forrest Sr. The kid was from Mississippi, and that's the way he talked in real life, so Hanks just imitated him, and Zemeckis loved it. So they went with it. Of course, that was the Oscar-nominated Haley Joel Osment as Forrest Gump Jr. If you have yet to react to The Sixth Sense- you should! Forrest Gump won 6 Oscars, including BEST PICTURE, BEST ACTOR for Hanks (his 2nd straight win as he won the year before for Philadelphia), and ZEMECKIS also won for Best Screenplay. Sinise (Lt. Dan) was nominated for Best Supporting Actor but lost to Martin Landau.

7:48 wasn’t expecting a Terry Fox reference today. Made my Canadian heart smile

There is a restaurant chain called Bubba Gump Shrimp. Guess where the name came from.

1. The music rights alone must have cost a small fortune.🤑🤑 2. Kurt Russell did the voice for Elvis. 3. IRL Sally Fields is only 10 years older than Tom Hanks. 4. Having gotten his degree Forrest could have gone into the Army as an officer like Lt. Dan. His ASVAB kills that. 5. He actually saved Lt Dan twice. Once in the field and again to get him out of his post war funk and Dan turned his life around. 6. Normally an enlisted Army person would be fully aware of his/her separation date. 5. Jenny did indeed give him the best gift ever (it wasn't the shoes) 8. Jenny died of Hep-C from dirty needles when she was in Caliphony. 9. It's ironic that Lt. Dan told the guys to take care of their feet because he loses his. 10. At the rally Forrest says, "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." 11. You have had a ride through recent US history and culture. From Elvis, John Lennon, Abby Hoffman to Vietnam and Watergate. Even the jogging craze of the 70's. About the only thing left out was streaking. 13. "Sometimes I guess there're just aren't enough rocks" 14. Haley Joel Osmentt/Forrest Jr. steals the show in "The Sixth Sense" with Bruce Willis. 15. Often when he's finishing a segment about death, he ends it by saying "That's all I have to say about that" 16 Keep in mind if Jenny wasn't wasting her life seeking men like her father and was with Forrest he/we wouldn't have had this incredible journey.

Bubba Gump's is a chain of seafood restaurants based on movie!

I like how you balance the commentary. You don’t talk too much, just enough to react.

8 minutes in, yep, I dig this. New sub. 😊 *not sure if it registered as you were understandably talking about Lt. Dan losing his legs, but none of the letters made it to Jenny. She was living the hippy life, hitchhiking the country. It was _very_ common during that time. 27:30 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."

Such a good movie. ❤ It came out the same year as Shawshank Redemption and both nominated for best picture. Forest Gump won but both were so deserving.

heh.. oh gosh man.. that was a great watch and reaction... subscribed... thanks

Instant respect and subscribe for the Terry Fox reference. My dad ran with Terry Fox in Prince George when he was 14

Brothel??? He said folks. Haven’t you ever heard of a boarding house. Old time name for an Air BnB

Ayy you’re watching 2 of my top 5 favorite movies back to back

You are one of the only reactors who understood Jenny's trauma and not loving herself enough & she is afraid she isn't good enough & may ruin his life.

36:49 Les créateurs de l'entreprise "Bubba-Gump" ont eu l'idée de faire ça en vrai après avoir vu le film, et en particulier la scène où Bubba énumère tous les plats. Ils ont écrit à la production du film pour leur demander l'autorisation d'utiliser le nom de "Bubba-Gump". Les studios ont dit oui, et une start up est née quelques mois plus tard.

That was Richard Nixon, not Ronald Reagan.

Such a great movie and I enjoyed watching it again with you. If you want to understand Watergate - watch 'All The Presidents Men.' Another great movie about American political history. And please forgive Jenny - her life started out so badly she never wanted Forest to be wrapped up in it. I love this movie - Forest ended up with the best gift ever - little Forest for the rest of his life. This movie struck 'quite a cord' with Gary Sinese - he's spent much of his life working with veterans.

Hey Ralphie...been a while! Looking forward to watching you watch this.

the first woman he met at the bus stop was Rosa Parks, didn't pick up on it until she said it was the #4 bus

Run fast like that in front of Bear Bryant you’ll get picked to play for ‘Bama

New Sub ✌️ Thoroughly Enjoyed this reaction and it's honestly one of the best movies ever made in my opinion!

Also Canadian, so never learned a lot of this history in school, but yeah, iconic film. Love watching people experience it for the first time and appreciated the genuine reaction!

Great reaction! Please watch -Steel Magnolias 1989 -Fried Green Tomatoes 1991 -Ghost 1990 -Thanks

Forest was on the Autism spectrum but i think it was never said, it was implied and to show just how amazing people on the spectrum are and how they are smarter in a lot of ways. I believe it was implied also Jenny died of some sort of Hepatitis from past drug use and back then there wasnt much treatment or knowledge. You gotta think even when the movie was over they were still young enough looking to have been in the Vietnam War. Im southern American, there are so many different sounding accents. Also, you said you werent from US, where then?

He was from Alabama not Texas..

Это была замечательная реакция и о личное резюме😊

The sound cut at the Washington monument only exists in the censored US version.

14:12 Oui hélas, John Fitzgerald et Robert Francis Kennedy ont tous les deux été assassinés, l'un était Président et l'autre Sénateur. Un cas unique dans l'histoire des Etats-Unis. Je vous invite à regarder si vous ne l'avez pas fait l'extraordinaire film d'Oliver Stone : "JFK" (1992) lors d'une prochaine réaction. Vous n'oublierez jamais ce film.

Okay, i will ask. I had no clue you weren't American. You sound 100% American to me. I was going to guess Canadian if not American but you don't sound Canadian either. Are you in Guam or the Philippines then?

OMG dude ... haven't seen you in ages ... i was one of your big Game of thrones fan

Beautiful movie beautiful reaction 💗

The Actor That Played "Bubba" Was Very Lucky To Get That Roll Because He Just Got Out Of Jail For Killing Someone

The day he's a strip boat captain is the day he's an astronaut.... His legs titanium alloy, what they use on the space shuttle..(mic drop)

there is one deleted scene where he meets MLK

It was more hep-c

You wonder why there was no chair for LT.Dan to sit.? Would you wanna sit if you've in a wheelchair for all those years???😊

That was not a Texas accent.

The KZfaq algorithm wizards put you on my timeline. Enjoyed the reaction. 👍 Subscribed.

Did he just say Ronald Reagan when Richard Nixon came onscreen?

Radio 2003 starring Cuba Gooding jr. it's a lot like this sort of with mentally challenge kid and based off a true story. Check it out please?

Really enjoyed your reaction

shrimps is bugs

All of you are missing second hand lions

Life is like a box of chocolates……most of it tastes like shit!

Texas accent???? This content creator isn't the smartest out there

You run your mouth to much. And swear too much.
