#ForestGump #moviereaction #reaction
Jenny was so damaged by what her father had done to her.
She was constantly running away trying to find peace and felt like she wasn't worthy of him.
She's the one that didn't know what love was or couldn't accept it when it was offered to her.
Yeah. I think she didn't know what love was until she had the baby. Previously she had only known love as abuse, so forrest's idea of love seemed simple to her. She didn't want to screw his life up by staying around.
I agree. I also think all the people who bash her aren't being honest with themselves. I wonder how many of them would get into a relationship with someone who was slow simply because he was a nice guy? I'd venture to say not many.
So true. And that's NOT her fault. She understood the damage she'd done and she got herself WELL. That's what matters. She was a good mom, and by the time she finally became his wife it was when she felt healthy enough as a person to deserve him. It's so sad that it had to coincide with her physical health's decline. I just don't understand the Jenny Hate. Like damn the girl went through some horrific shit, of course she's gonna make bad decisions and have a lot of hang ups.
Many many years ago i met Winston Groom who wrot the book Forrest Gump. I asked him "Now, when you picture Forrest Gump in your head, do you see what you pictured when you wrote the book? Or do you see Tom Hanks. " He said "Tom did such an Amazing job capturing my image that now I see Tom Hanks."
What an amazing compliment!
Forrest Gump did what he thought was right. No motives besides that. It makes ya love him.
I didn't think it would be possible to react to this movie in under 30 minutes without leaving out too many important scenes, but I think you did a great job of it. I agree, it's as perfect a movie as anyone could make.
Another great movie the little boy is in is The Sixth Sense.
At the end, not the beginning.
@@libertyresearch-iu4fy I should have specified that. I was too lazy to remember his name. Haley Joel Osment and Bruce Willis. An awesome movie.
Shawshank Redemption, of course!
They were both released in 1994.
@colinkaak9874 Salvo reacted to "The Shawshank Redemption" on his regular RUclips channel. Check it out!
Anything with Morgan Freeman in it is worth watching.
This is a wonderful movie!
It took me the whole movie before I understood that 'Forest Gump' is a metaphor. He is a muse. He helps bring the best out of people he knows......Every scene was Forest bringing out the best.
Tom Hanks is amazing. To see another incredible performance please react to "Big". I can't imagine anyone but Hanks playing the lead role.
This is one of the best movie. I remember when it came out, the CGI was new and people went nuts.
I love that Tom Hanks learned to speak with "young" Forest's accent just so the kid wouldn't have to learn to speak without it
You should watch Philadelphia. Tom Hanks won the Oscar 2 years in a row for FG & Philadelphia
Imho, Philadelphia is the best movie he's done. It is so beautiful.
Sometimes there are movies that you could find yourself watching over and over again and loving it just as much as you the first time you saw it. This is that movie for me. It's so cool that the first movie reaction of yours I came across was this one. 😢 My other classic favorite is the sound of music.
Enjoyed watching you experience this great story. I’d like to suggest The Birdcage starring Robin Williams, Nathan Lane and Gene Hackman. Lane is hilarious 🔥
One of my absolute favourites.
For a young Tom Hanks playing a 13 year old kid, check out Big from 1988.
I knew you would appreciate the soundtrack to this movie.
Loved your reaction ! Have you seen Casablanca ? If you haven’t it is absolutely a must watch
Such a great movie. So glad you got this opportunity to finally see it! Loved the reaction!
Tom Hanks modeled his Forest Gump voice after the actor who played the younger version.
When a woman played me and 3 of my family members died I did the same thing that forest did now I didn't run across America but I did stop going to the barber went to thr gym and deleted social media for 3 years until one day I just felt free but I did look like a bum by the end of it😂
you need to check our SCHINDLERS LIST if you haven't seen it already! If it doesn't move you to tears then I think you must be dead inside! Its Speilburg at his finest
I too had not seen this special movie until a few weeks ago. Now I see why it was so well-regarded. "We are all different!"
I lived in Fairhope, Alabama for over 50 years, and ran into Winston Groom, the author of Forest Gump, quite frequently in the local bookstore. I have a signed copy of Forest Gump. He died several years back and the community misses him a lot. Additionally, Fannie Flagg always included the Fairhope, Alabama bookstore in her book tours, as she was born and raised in the same area. You should certainly include her wonderful movie in your reviews, FRIED GREEN TOMATOES at the Whistle Stop Cafe. I will certainly tune in to your movie reviews.....this will be great fun !
Super enjoyable reaction! Thanks for this!
Great movie!
Forrest: ‘my momma always said you had to put the past behind you in order to move on. I think that’s what my running was all about’
Jenny: Same.
I've never seen a reactor shed tears doing a movie before and I thought that was beautiful!
When I saw it at the theater it absolutely broke my heart. BTW, if you didn't know both the movie
and Tom Hanks won Oscars that year!
This is one of my faves. A classic for sure. Tom Hanks is one of the best actors. I don't know one Tom Hanks movie I don't like. Hopefully you will be able to extend ur reactions up to 60 mins rather than 20+ mins, soon. Enjoy the eve. 😊
Thank you SalvoG for this lovely reaction to one of my favorite movies. It is a roller-coaster ride from beginning to end. Hugs hun
Loved your reaction so much!Maybe my most favorite movie all time !! I know for sure it’s in the Top 3! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☑️
One of the best movies. All the emotions. Robin wright, Tom hanks, Garry simise, and Sally field are amazing. Great life lessons.
Great reaction, Salvo! I don't know how many times I've seen it; I lost count. My suggestion, if you enjoyed Tom Hank's acting skills in this one, would be for any of the following: "The Green Mile" (also with Gary Sinise), "Apollo 13" (Gary Sinise again) or "Castaway" (which basically stars just Tom, although you won't notice.) All are excellent movies. Also, I'm a new sub for your new channel. I very much enjoyed your reaction to "The Shawshank Redemption." Another excellent movie!
26:37 she died of complications of AIDS.
Thank you!!! I was hoping someone posted this. Surprisingly, a TON of people don't catch on. Maybe because she died very early, before they gave HIV/AIDS an official name other than GRID. She died a year before they renamed it, which I thought was a great nod to Elizabeth Glaser, who was diagnosed in 81' a year before Jenny died in the movie. She was a HUGE reason the acronym was changed.
@@rowanmayfair9249 yes she’s a victim of hiv. A true victim from childhood.
AIDS is only implied. In the book it was hepatitis C, which was also only recently discovered, but far less well known than AIDS. I suppose the film left it ambiguous for a reason, but personally I thought there wasn't any reason to attach more stigma to Jenny than already existed.
@@jlerrickson Well said. The lack of empathy and understanding by many reactors for the traumatised and mentally damaged person that was Jenny was alarming. Especially by many of the female reactors. Call me old fashioned, but I was often told growing up, that women were kinder and more sympathetic than men, to people experiencing problems in their lives. Sadly this is becoming rarer in society.
Best movie soundtrack of all time!
Hi. Just discovered your channel. When I saw how long your reaction was in comparison to other reactors, I thought for sure you were not going to cover enough to make it interesting. I'm happy to say that I was totally mistaken.
You did an excellent job editing. Just enough to give people a taste while leaving out enough to encourage people who haven't seen it to do so.
Absolutely great reaction. I look forward to seeing more of your channel.
Great reaction. This movie always pulls at your emotions, even in the abbreviated version here. I too didn't watch it until a long time after it came out on DVD/Bluray. When I finally decided to watch it I was blown away that I had missed such a great story.
Tom Hanks is a good actor. If you haven't seen it, you will love "The Green Mile"
1. The music royalties 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 would have gone into the Army as an officer like Lt. Dan. Not a recruit. 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.
One of the versions I heard was that Jenny died from AIDS.
@@JoyceBrink Hanks said that for the movie they didn't want Forrest and Forrest Jr. saddled with AIDS, so they went with Hep-C.
Great movie 🍿 great reaction 😘
If anyone was surprised by when I questioned Little Shop of Horrors being a movie pick, this film right here is the reason why. With many excellent films like Forrest Gump, there is no need to use reactions up on anything but the best, at least in the early stages of the channel. Some other good suggestions: The Green Mile, The Shawshank Redemption, Schindler's List, The Big Lebowski, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Seven, The Exorcist, Trading Places, Akira, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, just to name a few.
Was thinking 12 angry men ?
Wonderful movie. Please check out for 'La vita è bella' . It won a Oscar. Thank you
@@SalvoGMovieReactions The original one is excellent, I havent seen the remake.
"Excellent' is subjective. Trading Places was just okay, if you like slapstick comedy.
@@jodij6280 There is no slapstick in it at all, so not sure what youre saying here other than you didnt like it. Murphy and Akroyds acting and chemistry are great, the writing is great, the jokes land throughout, duke and duke are great antagonists. Not sure what else youre looking for from a comedy.
Hugs. Such an amazing movie. Glad you enjoyed it. ❤
Green Mile soon if you haven't already. Another great Tom Hanks film.
I think you missed out too many pretty important scenes...but I've seen this movie a million times so it didn't bother me. The most important piece was the promise to Bubba...it was needed so we understood why he went into the shrimping business...
Some of this was filmed in my hometown of Savannah,Ga!
One of my favourite movies…wish your reactions were a bit longer 🖖🏻🇨🇦
This is one of the best movies ever. The Green Mile is just as great!!
I totally agree!
It certainly is a roller coaster ride.great reaction
Until relatively recently, boats only had female names, so he couldn't choose Bubba. 👍😁
❤❤❤
This is a great movie♥️I could watch it over and over again♥️♥️
Best movie ever! But never read the book it sucks! And that is the only time I’ve ever come across that.
A film where it’s easy to hate on Jenny. Sympathy for the victim of her father’s advances his addictions. Remember hurt people often hurt people
Please do The Sixth Sense
She had hiv/aids
Jenny is the greatest villain in cinema history.
this is a horribly bad take. the only villains in this movie are the men who abused her, like her father and the guy who slapped her in DC.
How the …..Jenny is the villain? 🙄 Jenny was a victim
What an ignorant take on this character - Jenny suffered from C-PTSD after suffering terrible abuse at the hands of her own father. This sort of abuse leads to neurological damage to a developing brain that has lifelong impacts, including the ability to connect, not to mention a deep shame and self-loathing. Anyone who has suffered anything similar, will understand the constant struggle she lived with and how self-sabotaging she was. I know she is a character in a movie, however, her portrayal is one that is easily recognisable as realistic and universal to those who live with this horrible condition. I just wish others could look a moment beneath the surface of her actions to try to understand the trauma that drove them.
Ignorance.
Jenny is a victim, childhood sexual abuse by her father his addictions passed to her. You need some empathy.
I hope you have not seen, and do a reaction to my favorite film "Pulp Fiction"
