This movie really affected Gary Sinise. Ever since he played Lt. Dan, he has run The Gary Sinise Foundation to help U.S. Veterans and their families. He formed the Lt. Dan Band and tours for the U.S.O.. when he isn't acting. He also runs The Snowball Express to provide vacations to the children of fallen U.S. soldiers. He is a true American patriot.

The kid that played young Forrest grew up, joined the Army, fought in Iraq, and was awarded the Bronze Star.

Everybody gangster until Bubba says he wants to go home...tear up everytime

This is the speech that Forrest said at the Vietnam protest: "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."

The "million dollar wound" was a sort of joke with military people during the Vietnam war era, idea was to get injured just enough to be sent home but not enough to be permanently disabled.

Funny that Leuitenant Dan joked about being an astronaut. That actor and Tom Hanks would later play astronauts in Apollo 13.

43:22 The part that moved me the most is when Forrest asks if his son is smart since it shows that he is aware that he has a limitation in that sense and he does not want his son to suffer for it.

You just won the record for the person to cry the earliest while watching Forrest Gump (first five minutes).

Mama Gump is a one in a million mom. Most moms would’ve sheltered and cuddled their ‘disadvantaged’ son, but instead she taught him he was no less than anyone else. We need more Mama Gumps

Never heard you talk about your father, thats great that you can in some way connect with him by experiencing the things he loved ❤

Gary Sinise, who played Lt Dan, spoke to veterans about the role. He ended up leading and raising money for veterans charities and voicing army recruitment videos and received the citizens medley from the president for his work with veterans. He has a band called the Lt Dan Band and plays army barracks.

In the 90s, If you were in school and late for class, had forgotten something in the store, had to chase after your dog it was always accompanied by random people yelling "Run, Forrest Run!"

As a veteran, this movie seriously jacks me up. The entire arc of Lt Dan is brutally poetic and amazing.

Also. Rarely noticed is that when Jenny falls down on the dirt in front of the old house, that initial pose is an homage to the famous painting by Andrew Wyeth, CHRISTINA’S WORLD.

Your Mom’s summary “it’s about a boy that doesn’t stop running” is probably the best ever

Not me tearing up at your reaction to Forrest saying your fathers line. Damn, im sorry for your loss and thank you for reacting to this.

The young Forrest was played by a young man named Michael Connor Humphreys. Humpreys is from Mississippi and had a very unique accent and style of talking, so Tom Hanks actually learned how to talk like Michael. Humphreys later joined the army and served in Iraq.

The most surprising thing is that he doesn't think he's intelligent, but he is the most successful person, capable of doing anything he sets his mind to. He is a loyal person to his friends, and with an unbreakable love for Jenny. In short, he is a good person that anyone with half a brain would want to have as a friend.

I love how realistic this movie is and how Jenny’s abuse affected her greatly because it really does happen in real life

Jenny and Forrest were polar opposites when it came to understanding and feeling Love. Jenny was sexually and emotional abused in her childhood, and as a consequence, she didn't know what love was. She had no self-love or self-respect, as her father destroyed it all. She went looking for love, but never found it, except when she was with Forrest. It took her almost her entire (short) life to grow into a self-loving person. Forrest was full of unconditional love. No matter what people did to him, he still loved them and stood by them. He was the perfect man for Jenny. No judging, no blaming, always forgiving, always there for her.

"It's about a boy who doesn't stop running", deceptively simple, but that is one of the most appropriate & accurate summaries of this film I've seen.

“You ever been on a real shrimp boat? No but I’ve been on a real big boat.” That joke goes over so many peoples head. And it’s one of my favorite lines in the whole movie.

A lot of emotional gut punches in this movie.. but LT Dan showing up at his wedding was a big one, and the fact that he called him "GUMP" the whole movie until his wedding, then he called him "Forrest". That showed how much respect LT Dan had for Forrest.

The movie is about the redeeming nature of love. Forrest said it himself: "I may not be a smart man, but I know what love is." His loyalty and love redeemed Jenny and Lieutenant Dan and brought Bubba's family out of poverty. You don't need to be smart, successful or clever to make a difference in the world. Just love somebody with your whole heart.

"life is like a box of chocolates. you never know what you're going to get" ❤️

Forrest Gump can be put into the "Unique" category. It truly is an undefinable yet brilliant film. A story about one man, yet it's also the story of the 20th century USA. Brilliant film making.

People fail to understand just how much Jenny's childhood abuse messed her up for life. Yes Forrest deserved better and her low self esteem made Jenny believe she wasn't worthy of Forrest or even happiness.

31:07 "Oh, she's running away" Forrest tells you at the beginning that he is always running to where he's going. Jenny is always running away from where's she's been. 46:28 Hepatitis-C emerged around the same time as HIV and we didn't know what it was either. That's what she had.

Because of Jenny’s traumatic childhood, she always thought little of herself. She always considered Forest a genuine person, and felt she didn’t deserve him. That’s why she always ran away. She thought she was protecting him from her.

All the President's Men was about Watergate. Great call!!

One of the most beautiful movies ever made. Always crying, always laughing so much. Pure love for it.

Forrest is the most underrated person, pure and genuine. Everything he does is curious. Amazing how he fits in so well to the Army.

There are a lot of Vietnam vets that say this was the most realistic nam scene.

All these years later I’d forgotten how much this movie makes me cry. 😢 But it’s a beautiful movie. I think you were right about Jenny’s illness.

30:39 "That's the day I'm an astronaut!" 44:19 "Titanium alloy, its what they use on the space shuttle!" One of my favorite little things in this movie.

Your reason for starting this channel may be one of the sweetest and most wholesome things I've ever heard. Subscribed.

This is a fantastic movie. The entire cast was great. It wasn't a sad movie. It was a movie about hope with sad moments. And what made Forrest such a good person was his innocence.

As an autistic person I can identify with Forrest going through life as the odd one out and having to deal with people who don't like different.

That line at the end from Forrest about dying is a part of life, "I sure wish it wasn't". Idk why but that got me. First time I've shed a tear in over 5 years.

The emotional roller coaster that is this movie is what makes it so special and an all time classic film.

Forrest Gump's speech to the Vietnam Protestors: "Sometimes when people go to Vietnam, they go home to their momma's 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."

This movie got Tom Hanks his 2nd CONSECUTIVE win for Best Actor (he also won Best Actor the prior year for PHILADELPHIA (1993), which saw Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington co-star (another highly recommended reaction)). He is one of only 5 people to win 2 years in a row for acting and one of 2 to do this in Best Actor (Spencer Tracy was the other).

When Forrest first told the box-of-chocolate thing and it reminded you to your dear father, it brought tears into my eyes too... 😢 IMHO this is one of the greatest movies of all time without doubt. Even though it is definitely sad in a way, it's still so kind and warm...

Forrest Gump is just one of those movies that everyone needs to see in their lifetime

This film is amazing. It is a romance, vietnam war film, sports film, inspirational story all in one.

I was a teenager and took my mom to see this movie in the theater because she thought it looked good. From her perspective, all the events they inserted Forest into were events she lived through. I think it hit different for her. Great movie and great reaction. I am glad that you understood that Jenny is a damaged person. I have seen people hate on Jenny but her character is realistic for some people that have experienced trauma at a young age. Jenny kept telling Forest that he didn't know what love is, but she herself had a warped sense of what love was and she didn't truly understand love until she had her own kid.

I've watched this movie countless times, as well as watching countless reactions to it. Believe me when I say, I cry every. single. time.

I saw this movie twice in theater. I bought the soundtrack on CD after the first time. Both times I went to see it, at the end when the feather starts to fly away, nobody got up to leave until the screen went black. It's like we were in awe of what we just watched. It truly was an amazing movie to see in the theater. So many touching scenes, but I think Bubba's death is the saddest for me.

I think my favourite thing in this movie is the way Susan, lieutenant Dan’s fiancé, looks at Forrest. Knowing all he’s done for Dan. Outstanding editing in this reaction.

This, in my opinion, the best all around movie ever made. It makes you feel every single emotion and tells a great, simple story. So glad you watched this, especially with what it meant to your father from the sound of it. This movie is profound.

Oh my god, the way Bubba says "I wanna go home" gets my tears rolling every time.

Ok here we go. I’m already teary eyed because of your dad’s love of this classic and you only now finding out what the quote is from. The film hasn’t started yet. 😂 I’m expecting tears on screen 😁

Epic film. Good pick. Love the story of your Dad's use of "you never know what you're gonna get."

I think what captivates the audience so much in this movie, (aside from the amazing soundtrack) is 1, connecting the dots of historical moments and people, with Forrests life, letting you feel the changing enviroment he grew up in over time, yet he always stayed the same simple good hearted person he had always been. And number 2, the emotional roller-coaster from the writing/directing from one scene to another. Where something so sad as Bubbas death happening, and then all of asudden youre hit with a silly statement and scene about Forrests 'million dollar wound'. So youre constantly being torn between wanting to cry one minute, and then wanting to giggle at Forrests happy go lucky attitude the next.. Anyways, I know thats a long comment, but thank you for the video, it was really fun seeing your reaction. 🤠

It's very touching how this film resonated with you and memories of your dear father. I'm certain he was watching over you and present while you watched this film.

The amount of people during my basic training in the army that tried to re-used that “to do whatever you tell me drill sergeant” line was hilariously high. And the drills were NOT having it lol they’ve probably heard that answer a billion times by trainees thinking they’re so smart.

You can ask almost any vet about Lt Dan. Gary is the real deal.

I have daughters, a couple of them your age. Nothing like a father-daughter bond. He's proud of you, smiling down on you, and you'll see him again. Glad you watched his movie, and hope it brings you peace.

One of my biggest comfort movies ever. it never gets old.

Oh my god. The box of chocolate line hitting you was the cutest and sweetest thing ever. I wish you all the best!!!

Jenny did die of AIDS. I'm also glad that the sequel to this movie fell through because it was going to be about Forest Jr being born HIV positive and growing up with it. Jenny was a good person but her Dad really messed her up so she grew up with drug problems and a really bad daddy complex that lead to terrible choices in men.

Kamilla, at the beginning when Forest says the line that your dad said and you tear up... that hit me. I lost my dad suddenly last June, and today (well, May 1st) is his birthday. I was thinking about him a lot today. I feel you. 👊 To our dads. 🥂

This movie makes me, a grown ass man, cry constantly.. Not just during the sad parts, but during the whole damn thing.

I'm about halfway through the video, and your background knowledge of American history is really impressing me -- even such small things as understanding how the name "Charlie" has a different meaning in the context of the Vietnam War. Gold star for you, Kamilla! 😁

I saw this movie in the theater. I was crying so hard at the end of the movie that I walked out of the theater wearing sunglasses. Such a great movie, one of my all-time favorites! This movie came out shortly after I lost one of my best friends and the outfit that Jenny wore for her wedding with Forrest, looked exactly like in the gown that my friend was buried in so seeing Jenny like that broke me..... Not to mention she also dies at the end.

In the very first scene forrest wears the shoes jenny gave him (that´s why they look so rough). However the laces are clean since lt. dan always told him to take care of his feet.

Nice reaction. This movie is a good movie about life and one man’s journey through it. There are ups and downs and how Forrest navigated them in his life. He is a truly loyal, sweet, character with a pure heart to help others. The world needs more people like him. This movie is also an American history lesson about important events in our history by decade and how coincidentally Forrest finds himself entangled in them. It’s also a great musical soundtrack by each decade’s most memorable songs too. I’m not sure how well these historical events would resonate with people in other countries. Like how many people would understand the Watergate reference but you did. Finally, in the USA, there actually exists a chain of restaurants called ‘Bubba Gump Shrimp Corporation” named after the movie. It’s a restaurant that serves a variety of different types of foods, but just like in the movie, is also heavy on shrimp items. I’ve visited two of the restaurants in San Francisco and Monterey California and they are so neat. They’re decorated with items from the movie. Including the classic bench from the film in front of the restaurant with a Forrest statue sitting there. You can take pictures with Forrest while you wait to be seated.

Every 14 year old boy should watch this movie over and over. Truth is power

Loved your reaction, Kamilla, as always. In the novel that the film came from, Jenny died of Hepatitis C, in the film it is implied that she died of AIDS.

As a father of 3, two of them girls, I loved your intro describing your father and discovering some things he liked. When you teared up at the “chocolates” quote, I got emotional with you and I had to pause to write this comment. I think it’s beautiful what you are doing and I’m so very sorry for your loss of your father. Two of mine are grown and now I have a little 6 week old girl who was a surprise at this stage in my life. I’ve always loved sharing my favorite music and movies with my oldest 2. Now I get to share all of the wonderful music and movies all over again with my little one as she grows. I’m definitely your new fan. I am positive that your father loved you very much and I hope you always try to connect with him. ❤️

Forrest Gump is a movie that hit harder everytime you watching it

In the United States, there is a restaurant chain based on this movie/book called Bubba Gump Shrimp. I only went about twice when I was young. I got shrimp.

Such a beautiful movie! Tom Hanks gives a stellar performance! great choice Centane!

Thanks for this reaction. One of the most heartfelt movies ever made.

Can never get bored or tired of this film,Forrest Gump is easily in my top 5 favorite films of all time. Whether it’s someone who just watched for first time or someone who’s watched it a dozen times,this movie never grows old. Really happy you watched it and enjoyed it

Sorry to hear about your father, This is a beautiful movie, your father had good taste 👍🏻 my father sadly passed away in January and I can't bring myself to watch his favourite movies yet.. Thank you for your reactions ❤

Beautiful reaction. Your expression at the end is spot on, this is a very bittersweet film and beautiful and poetic in so many ways. Thanks again for sharing your heart with the world.

Such a lovely moving film. Even after several re-watches, you will still tear up. Mainly because you know what will happen.

Forest and a Jenny represent two halves of a person. One damaged and one innocent without judgement or good or evil, poor or rich, love v hate. Both float through life, one burdened with jealousy ny’s pain, one without judgement like a feather. The end when Jenny has Forrect Jr, he represent both halves joining with a new hope. Jenny dies, shedding the painful part of the two halves and represented by the birds finally being released at her gravesite. Lt Dan represents a unified struggle within one person and how being inflicted by the pure side of Forest helped him shed his damaged soul This story has been told many times in different ways

Even though I recognize that The Godfather (1&2) are the two greatest movies ever made, this movie is still my all-time favorite anyway.

Such a beautiful movie. Tom Hanks nailed this role.

This is one of the most profund movies I know. After all this years it touches me deeply. Within the years I realized, that live is all about "you never know what you get". R.I.P Dad and Mum.

the movie Forrest Gump is one of the top 10 films that folks watch just to cry and release months or years of bottled-up emotions and frustrations to have a healthy mental state and not one day/night snap and go crazy.

👏For not hating on Jenny. I always thought a movie based on Jenny's life would make for a powerful tragedy.

Great reaction Kamilla like always, this movie its one of my favourites its such a masterpiece of cinema. Every character moment or performance in this movie is incredible perfection. The story is simple but interesting, funny and heartbreaking at the same time. The movie was based on the 1986 novel of the same name by Winston Groom. The author actually went to write the first draft of the flick before it went into production. Forrest was supposed to be a heavier man who sat at 242 pounds and stood at 6-foot-6. In the book, he became a wrestler, went to space and even hung out with an orangutan. And some fun-facts about thi movie, Tom Hanks’ brother did some of that running in the movie Jim Hanks, himself an actor and filmmaker, doubled for his older brother on set, including in numerous sequences featuring Forrest’s high-knee, arm-pumping run. Tom hanks daugther was in this movie in a cameo if you keep an eye out for a surly redheaded girl in the bus scene, when young Forrest can’t find a place to sit (until Jenny invites him to sit next to her). That’s Hanks’ daughter, Elizabeth. While actor Peter Dobson played a not-yet-famous Elvis Presley as a lodger in the Gump household in a brief scene with young Forrest, the voice belongs to none other than actor Kurt Russell. Why? Russell, who was uncredited in the film, had played Presley already in a 1979 biopic directed by John Carpenter titled, appropriately enough, Elvis. And if you are wondering what Gump says in those few moments of radio silence? Well, according to Tom Hanks, the full speech reads: “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. Keep up the good work.

Im always blown away by how funny this movie is while being so moving and dramatic. Its for everybody; its a comedy, a drama, a sports movie, a war movie, and a romance all rolled into one

My condolences. What a nice way to honor your father. I saw this in theaters with my dad, we both cried, it's remained my favorite movie, doubtful to be dethroned. Was totally worth watching your reation, it's nice to rewatch a shortened version through the eyes of a new viewer, thanks for the content.

The screenwriter confirmed that the virus Jenny died of was AIDS as you suspected. In the novel that the film is based on Jenny doesn't die at all. But off of the popularity of the film the author of the original book wrote a sequel (Gump & Company) in which Jenny ultimately does die; and it is from Hepatitis C. That however came AFTER the film. Confusing ain't it? :)

Still cry every time I watch the movie or people’s reactions. If you have true love in your heart there’s no way you can’t cry watching this movie.

In my interpretation, the movie is about destiny and purpose. Lt. Dan represents someone who was born into a military family (very rigid) and believes in destiny, he has planned his life out right through death and any deviation from that broke him. Jenny was the polar opposite. Jenny never had a home, no structure to her life. Therefore, she was always running and as a result she was always living in the moment, no responsibility, and never thinking about tomorrow. Just like Lt. Dan, this extreme lifestyle resulted in her being extremely unhappy. Only when Lt. Dan learned to let go and live in the moment and when Jenny stopped running and took on the responsibility of being a mother did they both find happiness. Forrest was the happy middle ground. He had hopes and dreams in life but he wasn’t rigid about them. He was still able to live in the moment while moving towards those dreams. As a result, he was the happiest and most rewarded in life.

Kami, fue muy conmovedora tu reacción. Creo que esta peli tiene un significado muy fuerte para ti. Un abrazo y gracias por compartirla con nosotros.

one of the best reactions I've seen to this. you're so precious

This is one of my favorite movies and I am just as affected watching it today (and even watching the parts in your reaction video) as when I first watched it, or the dozen-plus times since. I am so glad you liked it and had the same reactions as I did. Thank you so much for sharing.

My absolute number one favorite movie, thank you for the reaction. I loved watching it with you.

Min absoluta favorit film någonsin. Det är så känslosam med så mycket budskap i sig. Takk så mye det fantastiske reaksjonen❤😊

You are right about the cause of Jenny's illness. Her drug use and promiscuity got the better of her. And by the time she straightened up, it was too late.

I LOVE that you watched this because of what your dad used to say. It is so fitting and respectful of the message of the movie and all. Lovely!

Your dad has great taste in movies! I loved watching this with my dad years ago. He was a Vietnam vet & totally agreed with Forest explaining all the different rains during the monsoons from over there.

There is a Restaurant in Texas called Bubba Gump Shrimp.
