What’s the movie Forrest Gump about?
Stupid is as stupid does, says Forrest Gump (played by Tom Hanks in an Oscar-winning performance) as he discusses his relative level of intelligence with a stranger while waiting for a bus. Despite his sub-normal IQ, Gump leads a truly charmed life, with a ringside seat for many of the most memorable events of the second half of the 20th century. Entirely without trying, Forrest teaches Elvis Presley to dance, becomes a football star, meets John F. Kennedy, serves with honor in Vietnam, meets Lyndon Johnson, speaks at an anti-war rally at the Washington Monument, hangs out with the Yippies, defeats the Chinese national team in table tennis, meets Richard Nixon, discovers the break-in at the Watergate, opens a profitable shrimping business, becomes an original investor in Apple Computers, and decides to run back and forth across the country for several years. Meanwhile, as the remarkable parade of his life goes by, Forrest never forgets Jenny (Robin Wright Penn), the girl he loved as a boy, who makes her own journey through the turbulence of the 1960s and 1970s that is far more troubled than the path Forrest happens upon. Featured alongside Tom Hanks are Sally Field as Forrest's mother, Gary Sinise as his commanding officer in Vietnam, Mykelti Williamson as his ill-fated Army buddy who is familiar with every recipe that involves shrimp, and the special effects artists whose digital magic place Forrest amidst a remarkable array of historical events and people.

“Bubba was my best good friend. And even I know that ain’t something you can find just around the corner.”
Those are words to live by.Remember this
How ironic coming from the CIA....
@@thevisitor135 What do you mean? The CIA only hurts US enemies, not our "best good friends". it's not like they assassinated the US president or false flagged the US into several foreign wars or anything
True, I'm in my late 30s and I don't think I've ever had a 'best friend'. I've had close, but nothing like someone that will like have ur back no matter what or come to u whenever u need help no questions. Seems nice to have someone like that
@@thevisitor135 well, you are now the visitor
God damn movie makes me cry!
When soldiers say "I wanna go home" it hurts, even if it's just a movie.
Yea, just feels so sad. Because you know that when they say that they’re genuinely scared and confused.
*So Relatable*
Because war is the closest thing to hell, and young boys in hell want nothing more than to go home...
Vietnamese like: ‘you saying nobody dies at home?’
Yeah, it is even worse if the soldier is forced to go to a fight he does not even understand why it is happening.
I always loved that when Dan was yelling at him mad he saved him, but the moment he realized Gump was going back out there in the strike zone. He cared more about Gumps safety then his own anger.
He always cared. He was just a huge ass.
He also returns fire pretty much blindly into the smoke, because Forrest is carrying him and can’t defend himself
And then he lost his ass-ness
its a movie--none of this really happened
@@SotraEngine4 Nah just his legs
@dethray1000 but the suspension of disbelief required isn't so much that you couldn't imagine it realistically happening outside of film
Bubba and Forest....two pure souls. "They said it was a million-dollar wound, but the Army must keep that money, 'cause I still ain't seen a nickel of that million dollars."
It’s Bubba saying “I wanna go home” that always gets me. He supposed to be a shrimp captain
But he went to Vietnam to kill charlie ricefarmers while pretending to care if people are communist or not. Burn in hell Bubba. 😆
Little engine that could in the jungle
@@TrungCyf you know they didn’t have a choice right they got drafted
@@therifleman1687Ever heard of Robert Mcnamara? He basically made a recruiting system that would target very specific type of people in the states for Vietnam. Its not like everyone got drafted lol...They had a bunch of choices, and the smartest people moved to Canada. Why? Because USA is a shithole country.
Yeah me too dude I mean when forrest says Bubba was my best good friend and even I know that something you just don't find just around a corner. Damn that hits me everytime its true you only get 2 or maybe 3 tops best good friends in this world and at point in life their not even considered friends anymore they become your Brother's
It’s the innocence and almost child like conversation these two had that always get me.
gets you? to laugh or what?

Same, it's just heartfelt and honest.
@@agquiz1847 ohh shuddup!

"Gump you stay here that's an order" "I gotta find bubba" truly an example of the bond you develop with the guys you go with
Best friends are irreplaceable…
Huh
After all these years and years I always thought he said
Don't you stay here
I think a lot of people missed out how traumatized Lt. Dan was.
He was one of the few officers in the war that actually cared about his men and they all got killed under his watch.
He wanted to die with them. A captain going down with the ship, his one last heroic deed to redeem his failure.
Then, here comes Gump. Who not only forces him to live with his shame, but in doing so also gets the love and recognition of every as the true hero of the day.
@@bradthompson5383 Oh yeah, its a very well written story. Lt Dan's redemption is only satisfying because the trauma was so deep to begin with.
The thing that rubs me the wrong way is how Dan says he won’t leave the platoon, then tries to restrain and order Forest so he can’t go back to even try and save more men. If anything, Dan gave up on the platoon and was looking for a good death. There’s a matter of practicality since he called in the strike, but it seemed more out of anger
@@vexxama I took him trying to restrain Gump as trying to save him from getting caught up in the airstrike.
He wanted to die because in his mind he had failed his men by getting them caught in an ambush.
I never thought Lt. Dan was a bad person, even when I watched this as a kid. I hope no one does.
@@vexxama I looked at it as saying if you go back, you die. Of course he didn’t realize that Gump was faster, stronger, and luckier than anyone can possibly be, making enemy soldiers and friendly rocket fire no threat to him.
oh god, bubba trying to hide his wounds with a branch while saying "i'm okay forrest" is just gut wrenching
Bubba felt the same way
It brought me to tears after watching that scene over and over again.
think he might of been playing dead cause VC was all over the place.
I have an Uncle that is Vietnam vet. I can remember we watched this together with other family, and he started crying at 4:34.
Sure🦵🏾🦿
Bubba….he would’ve been so proud of his best friend.
*best good friend
Not sure if you need this reminder but this is a Fictional character
@@marveldc5146 Man, don’t ruin the moment
@@marveldc5146 **sniff sniff** don't remind me okay
@@marveldc5146 Actually... a fictional character base on a Real Person.
When you learn about the history of this war and find out that there was a big push to recruit young men that had the lowest grades and obvious difficulties these scenes where they are talking almost like children hit so much harder, this happened to so many young men throughout that horrible war.
"McNamara’s Morons," aka "Project 100,000."
Just another way to kill off the poor and weaken another generation of young men. All lies by the government. If you have a chance to ever talk to a Vietnam vet, it is a helluva listen. I'll never forget it.
Most soldiers in Vietnam were tall children. My cousin was barely 18, but also lucky.

I like how Forrest still honors his friend by helping out his family. Giving Bubbas share of the shrimping business to his mom. I know the war scene was fantasy but it's damn powerful. These guys didn't need to be there but were drafted so they were forced to.
it is a movie--none of this really happened!!
@dethray1000 obviously as I stated it was fantasy. The Vietnam War did happen and the young men were drafted so had no choice. Then their country hated on them when they came back like it was all their fault. That really happened
@@dethray1000why you take it so personally then ?
Do you jealous?
@@dethray1000 Seriosly man, why are you such a douche?
Gave his mom like 100 million.
Others when they get hit by a bullet: AAAAAAAA I'M FUCKING WOUNDED, I'M HIT.
Forrest: SOMETHING BIT ME
“Damn that tickled”

Actually, in certain men's accounts, guys that did what Forrest did, in the midst of battle getting shot and stabbed felt like being bitten by insects instead of something worse
Adrenaline is one hell of a drug
@@itsonlyafleshwound9024 yeah you get shot but that energy is keeping you on ur feet still
Didn't cry when his Momma died, didn't cry when Jenny died. But here....
Who the fuck cares about Jenny, she treated Forrest like shit and only came back when she needed someone to raise her son, his mom's death was very very sad and bubba's death is something I'll never get over.
It was his son, too. If there was one good thing that Jenny did for Forrest, I’d say it was give him a family of his own. Granted, she did wait for the last possible minute to bring the two together. But, better late than never.
But he did cry when he visited her tombstone at the end.
@@anotherbigfootwithinternet2147, Forrest cares...
@@user-ht6bt4nr1d only thing that makes it somewhat upsetting
Despite he suffered an intellectual disability Forrest was a hell of soldier, never dropped his weapon, always ready to fire, he was really quick to prepare everything, he followed the objectives literally until the end, etc. The condition in these kind of persons is their real benediction.
Almost like a round peg
it is a movie--all fake
@@dethray1000 So ?
@@dethray1000 No shit sherlock. Any other wise revelations for us?
All to protect a rotten country.
In WW2 alot of young men who died on the field would cry for their mum or to go home. Unbelievably sad. RIP to those heroes who sacrificed themselves against evil.
Saving private ryan huh
How are they heroes?
They invaded foreign nation Vietnam and were destroying everything: people, villages and nature
La mayoría "niños" y no los viejos de las peliculas
Soldiers who died in Vietnam War are neither evil or good.
They were just young men who died because of the stupid old pricks didn't like each other's opinion.
Guess which country had most number of wars after wwii, define evil

And it's also where he learned how to be a leader and a captain in WWII. Of course you'd need a time machine to do that.
I love how he carried Bubba in his hug, unlike he did with the rest of them.
Well, that’s because Bubba got shot in the stomach
Exactly! Forrest didn't wanna pull poor Bubba's gutts on the jungle's floor...

I was trained as a Combat Medic but was never sent to Vietnam. Sometimes I feel like my training was wasted, but I did what was expected of me and did it well. I like to think that God had other plans for me and looking back He did other than combat. My heart goes out to every soldier and medic who ever served. God Bless them all!…
I was trained in Artillery Weapons Repair and after Ordnance School - sent to a Fight Echelon Repair Depot - but they were switching over to Civil Service Mechanics so they didn't need any more Marines. They put me in "The P's" with the Provost Marshall's office and I spent the next 15 months as a sentry. That was my contribution to the Vietnam War. [shrug]
.
Be appreciative of never having seen combat.
I deployed to Afghanistan with the Army, and my brother never got deployed although he was in the Marines.
He used to complain about how I "got to serve" while he sat on the bench back in the States.
I asked him if "getting to serve" is worth having friends that you will never see again because their last moments are in a dusty, shitty desert and they're bleeding out.
The answer is "no." Go to war if it is a requirement, but thank God everyday if you never had to experience it.
@@JuanAppleseed-ge6tbthanks for your service sir, just wanted to say that we're appreciating your efforts and sacrifices
One of the greatest movie scenes ever. Never get tired of watching. And that is why Forrest received the Medal of Honor. Rightfully so.
One of the greatest movies ever.
You know what the best thing is though? Forrest knew nothing - NOTHING - about shrimping. He learnt it all by himself. Bought his own boat, gas with his own money.
And yet, when he finally struck gold with shrimping, the first thing he did was send Bubba's mom a check.
What little he knew about shrimping he learned from bubba.
I mean bubba DID tell him all about it but ya i guess he never had any actual previous experience which is important
And people saying he is dumb.
Having a hurricane wipe out all your competition kinda helped.
Actually it was sent to Bubba's Granny. His Momma ditched his ass when he was an infant.
Forrest is one strong dude. Forrest carried the other guys with what looks like the fireman's lift, something most people can do. But the way he carried Bubba, that looked like just a straight dead lift carry.
Adreneline Glands......
Princess carry
@@DEEZ_N4T His Buddies (Bubba) Internal Organs were protruding. He was Gut Shot. That's why he carried him like this.
@@briangoldy8784 still Bubba looked heavier than others. Also he had ran many rounds before that.
Retarred strength
Forrest is actually an amazing soldier! He knows how to handle the weapon, is fearless, and leaves no one behind.
3:31 Tom Hanks nailed that look of terror when he heard the jets getting close, such an amazing movie
His sense of direction is impeccable.
Well, he knew where the last point of contact was and he knew which direction he came from so it was pretty simple for him to just back track the way he came.
@@ZHBraden13 trought the jungle, commonly changing directions
With all due respect to him, I think Gump's a idiot savant.
There was only about 45 degrees of freedom to where he needed to go from the river... you may be mentally (handicapped) if you don't understand basic directions
That's why his name is Forrest
Forrest is what happens when you max out luck instead of intelligence.
Idiot Savant perk IS known to be more efficient for levelling than being smart. Hmmmmm.......
And go for the high karma route
Forrest Gump was mostly speced into stamina and movement speed. All of his accomplishment ( football runner, war hero, ping pong champion, surviving a sea storm, jogging across the country) were done because of these skills. He probably had only +5 spent into spirit so that he could raise his son.
Maxed endurance and decent strength too
So he used his intelligence points on everything else
This scene, while horrifying, goes great to show the inner workings of gump. The sad fact is that if he had decided to go straight for bubba and not stop, bubba would have had a better chance at surviving. But it shows Forrest has no biases and will help anyone regardless of who they are.
I literally cry every single time bubba says “forrest, I wanna go home”. Ever since I was a kid this scene makes me a blubbering baby. My uncle Harold died before I was born in Vietnam and every year on his birthday my grandmother (that raised me) would turn from a pillar Of strength into a sad little wreck of a woman and it reminded me how fragile life is.
That last scene is Enough to make a grown man cry
I hate that Jenny took a long time to get with forest😩
I was a tough guy until I watched this movie.
But not This man!.. Get back in there tear!
This scene always makes me cry
And that's ok
Each of those man would weight at least 210 lb, equipment and all, Forrest was strong like an oax
he felt 10 feet tall that day.
Country strong and adrenaline
He was a D1 running back. He def could carry them
Strong like an oax and with balls of pure titanium
In the book he was a savage, he was like 6 foot 6 inches, 260 pounds, along with being one of the fastest people in country and yes he was built like an ox in the book.
Forrest was just a beast of a man….carrying multiple full grown men any measurable distance takes strength and endurance….love this movie
Tom Hanks is without a doubt one of the best actors of our time
This is the saddest part of the whole Movie. Forget Jenny, she left him soo many times. Forrest was always cool to people around him. But people would still shit on him. Bubba was one of the only people to be cool to him, and stand by him.
you have the drill sgt at boot camp he respected gump
@@_spooT Drill Sgt. respected Gump in terms of doing his Job. Bubba liked Gump because they became friends through life experience and saw a future together.
Jenny became such a shit person to be honest, Forrest deserved so much better than her. She was okay at first, but as she grew up she just made the worst choices anyone could make. She could've stayed with Forrest from the beginning, but a life of running around the country strung out on drugs and sex was better I guess. But Forrest being the man that he is, still loved her and thought nothing of any of that, something I don't think she ever truly appreciated right up to her death.
@@TheGreyParse Its easy to judge from a certain point of view, but put yourself in her situation growing up being sexually abused, its bound to distort your view of the world. She was set up for a rough life, people fight through their abuse in different ways. Took Jenny a long time to see that. Real world experiences turn out like this too.
@@ChrisRey3156 Oh bo-hoo.... It still doesn't changed the fact that she came back to Forrest, fucked him one night and then left him again only to contact him AFTER his son was born and she had found out she was dying from a disease. I cannot feel sympathy for her because of that. She might have had her reasons that explains it, but it still doesn't mean Forrest was treated right.
4:38 It's heart breaking to imagine how many young soldiers had the same last words
im taking a history course in college that's covering Vietnam this week. it's truly a shame how soo many of the US troops deployed and died in Vietnam were under the age of 21. All for a fight that was entirely pointless. And the ones that were just following orders and were lucky enough to come back home alive were treated like dirt and spat on.
if you wanna talk about heartbreak just look up the My Lai Massacre
Les pasa por ir a meterse a paises que no les incumbe
No sadness for someone who is a tool for the rich and elite to get power full and richer so yea nothing of value was lost in viatnam or iraq or afghanistan
Those so called soldiers are just tools so dont feel bad for them
@@zacharyjackson1829 I mean what did you expect the USA army did alot of war crime in Vietnam and these poor guys though they fight like USA did against the nazi
@@Sssssss553 viet cong and nva did way worse
How utterly brilliantly the scene with Bubba is filmed - the sound goes low, and Bubba’s voice is shaking with emotion and so is Forrest’s, but it’s done with enough subtlety (the lower sound) that we don’t notice it until the helicopters tear into the scene. Then Bubba’s words by the river…just make us sob, every time.
This scene is the ultimate example of "No soldier left behind" Forrest did what any true brave soldier would've done, Instead of saving himself he went back and rescued the remaining members of his regiment/platoon.
imagine saving everyone except your best friend
And even worse, if he had not stopped for everyone else he might have found him in time to safe him.
But acting like that is something that never even entered Forrest's mind.
@@jasperzanovich2504 maybe. But we also dont really know what kind of injury bubba had. Forrest looked so terrified that I think maybe Bubbas guts were hanging out
Only the folks he grabbed survived except bubba, a platoon has 46 plus people in it so more than %80 of that platoon was wiped out.
Tragedy
@@kwiklot5114 yeh i know its was hard and only a small number actually survived. but the fact the he really had the abilitiy to save his friend and couldnt do it is the tragedy. bubba could have simply died somewhere else but he was alive and forrest saw that in the end. he was too slow
My first husband was burned over 40% of his body , the nurses told me that the Vietnam war taught the doctors how to treat burns ...it saved his life only later to loose it to alcoholism and suicide ... God rest his soul
I'm deeply sorry to hear that. My father volunteered in 1964 for the Marines. He did two tours. Agent Orange took him when he was 57.
I am so sorry for your loss and his suffering.
@@chadbrown9551 sorry for his loss. May God have mercy on his soul and bless you all.

@@Saber23 I bet you’re fun to hang out with
My grandfather went to Vietnam. His best friend was drafted six months before him, and so, his best friend, Mike, was supposed to go home six months before my grandfather. Instead, he elected to stay so they could return home together. Roughly two months before returning home, their platoon was ambushed. Mike grabbed a grenade launcher and stood his ground while the rest of the platoon got away, including my grandfather. Later, they said it was too dangerous to get any of the bodies, so my grandfather made the trek there, put his buddy's dead body on his back, and carried him for ten miles.
@@romanspiwak that’s an amazing story. Thanks for sharing

it's crazy, how this film transports you through time, through its shots and its songs, it's a journey through time without any machine just by watching it.

Forrest Gump Build:
Strength: 8
Perception: 1
Endurance: 9
Charisma: 3
Intelligence: 1
Agility: 8
Luck: 10
D&D stats sound solid.
I'd like to think his Perception is at least a 3. he undertands love for his son as a father. And his luck score is so true to find friend is worth getin for
I would say he's a lot smarter than he appears. He just has a funny way of talking.
he's more charismatic. I'll say 5 at least
I think charisma was 1 and intelligence 4.5
It’s not the “I wanna go home” that gets me. I start bawling the second I hear “Forrest, why’d this happen?” 😭
fate can be so crude.
You got shot, he said 😅🥹😭
So many layers to this style of writing.
Me too. I've played so many games and even been in certain situations that it just makes me feel something I can't explain.
I'm sorry, Bubba.
To win this conflict
The look and the way he says “Oh Bubba, no” makes me feel like crying every time
That and the scene he finds out he has a son, and asks whether his son is smart or is he like him.
@@chrishatton2642 agreed, like he was afraid he ruined him or something by being his dad. This is one of my favorite movies and I’ve seen it probably a hundred times for a reason lol
And there really was a guy like this, who just ran back in to pull out more guys, even when people where shooting at him, when there were explosions left and right, he ran back into the battlefield to carry out just one more human, one more person to become something more than a corpse on a hill.
He eventually collapsed from the immense strain but Bull Allen saved 12 people that day.
I just realized how strong Forest was in this film. He literally went back and forth nonstop to save his comrades we need more people like him now and days. It’s rare. But they do exist.
While sprinting
He did play football.
Man it’s called Adrenaline
Adrenaline is one hell of a drug
Tom Hanks did this for real
Ever since learning about Corporal Leslie "Bull" Allen, I feel like this scene was based on his story. He carried 12 men one by one from the battle zone in Tambu.

"I wanna go home..."
This line broke me. It shows that even though these people trained and worked hard, they are still really scared. They just want to go home.
Pretty much what anyone fighting a war feels, I think. Wars are no longer a place where young men seek glory and honor in battle... if that was ever even a thing.
@@Dedread ww1 changed everything
When you're scared to death you become like a kid.. absoultely miserably crumbled to the fate. It's miserable. Whoever ignored these Vietnam war veterans must repent about their ignorance. Stupid hippies.

Training and hard work is nothing without practical experience. Until then it's just theory.
It's sad to see people realise the depth of their field.
These Explosions are better than the Micheal Bay movies. 03:38
Love that Forrest picked up & saved all the men he found then went back to find his buddy. That’s a warrior,
Bubba asked Forrest why’d this happened. He’s supposed to be a shrimp boat captain but he’s fighting ‘Nam. He questioned why he was there and why he got shot
As he should.

@@_Cato_ ya know what coulda saved bubba. Thats right a nice cadian flak armor made from cardboard
I think the shot implied that Bubba was pretty much opened up in the torso.
I always disagreed with that because I actually think that Forrest makes a lot of smart decisions throughout the movie while Jenny is the one who spends the majority of it making unwise and stupid decisions. If he was as stupid as everyone else seems to think he is in the movie, he never would've survived the Vietnam war. He's a little slow, yes but I never thought he wasn't intelligent.
@@JR-ju3kjForrest Gump always had a huge amount of emotional and kinesthetic intelligence. Yes, he was lucky also, but his story shows that success in life isn’t always determined by IQ.

I remember watching this scene with my dad and my dad told me after that this is what my grandfather did during the war, and I cried thinking about it since my grandpa was the only person who survived
Bubba trying to cover up his wounds so he wouldn’t worry Forrest is heart wrenching. Gets me every time.
I know a guy who won a Bronze Star for doing something like this in Vietnam. I always think about him when I see this scene. He was a medic and he kept running into a mine field pulling wounded guys out under fire. They don't just give away those awards. They are earned.
Forrest got the CMH for this and if he was so inclined he would never have to buy another drink in a bar frequented by military personnel for the rest of his life.
My grandfather had a similar bronze star, except he was a door gunner on a Huey. I'd be willing to bet things like this happened a lot in 'Nam.
Fucking hilarious given that the “saving” of lives is from a fight that isn’t needed.
This scene was inspired by Roy Benavides.
For one thing, difference between Lt. Dan and his forefathers' battlefield legacy, he was just plain being suicidal.
And poor Bubba... saying the words that might've been on everyone's mind: "I wanna go home."
Something that was lost on me as a kid was that Forrest looking for Bubba. He gave the chance for his mother to bury his body. Had he got napalmed. That wouldnt have been possible. Aside from losing his best friend, Forrest provided that to Bubbas mother. This scene hit more now as an adult.
"I wanna go home" probably went through the minds of every soldier who died in that fucking stupid war.
It wasn’t all for nothing. It did help bleed out the Soviet Union and lead to the fall of Communism
I guess that's what every soldier felt in every war while dying. "How did I get here? Why did I signed up for this? I was going to do great things with my life and now I want to go home."
Forrest is the friend everyone needs. I've never met anyone as altruistic as this character. Have met people as... slow... as him, yes, but still he's a charming guy.
Lt. Dan has one of the best character developments.
Goddamn...I dont get emotional over films very often but this movie had my tearing up like a little boy. Definitely one of the greatest movies ever!
It's sad that we had to repeat history again in Afghanistan.
had
The real war in the Middle East hasn't even started my friend, we'll be back over there before 2030.
Well, at least in Afghanistan there aren't any talking trees.
@@funballin9032 Right, just talking sand.
Soon the US military will be fighting talking corn.
This film is one of the few that's ever genuinely made me cry. Bubba saying to Forest that he just wanted to go home broke me.
As a Decorated Combat Veteran of Afghanistan.
It brings me to tears watching this..flooded & overwhelmed..god bless you gallantry men.
Lions.
this was the first American movie I saw when I was still living in Vietnam as a little boy back in the 90s...truly a classic, no remake can replace this...
"Slow? Yes. R*tarded? Maybe. But he won a ping pong contest and charmed the pants off Nixon. And he was a god damn war hero. You know any r*tarded warheroes"?
Ah yes, Tropic Thunder

Sometimes when I type it, it gets deleted automatically by youtube.
You know this is fiction right
@[REDACTED] it is a very offensive term that was, back in the day, mostly used for mentally ill people and those with physical disabilities.
I heard in one of the original drafts of the script in this scene Forest killed a Viet Cong soldier but they thought it would have conflicted with Forest’s kind hearted character so it was scrapped.
"oh bubba, no" always makes the watergates bust open. Even he knew that it was hopeless.
Every last ounce of this movie was a masterpiece
4:54 Where legends cried
This movie breaks my heart, Forrest is so pure of heart. He may not he the most intelligent ever but he's one of the nicest without ever expecting anything in return.
Lieutenant Dan' actions is exactly what Colonel Ralph Puckett, Korean war Ranger and MOH recipient, did except for that calling air strikes. He asked his men to leave him behind, but they refused.
Note: Thats not the reason he got the MOH, prior to him getting injure, he did something courageous and above and beyond the call of duty, getting injured eventually from his gallant action. Thats when he ordered his men to leave him behind. But as usual for Rangers, Leave No Man Behind!
Forrest survived because he literally kept it simple; Strength and heart. That’s all you need… what a phenomenal and realistic scene.
Ask any soldier who survived battle and they all say the same thing. It has nothing to do with how strong or brave they were it was just by pure chance/luck that they made it home. The ones that died weren't weaker or less brave.
This is one of the best-written/directed/acted movies ever. When you forget the characters aren't actors.
Forrest Gump. He's a true man. You don't need to have big muscles.
All you need is a big heart 💓 and compassion. For those you care about and people in general.
Well, maybe some big muscles to carry Bubba out of the forest, fast. Otherwise, yeah you're right.
@@michaell8002 Forrest only ever threw punches at 2 people. Both of them for putting their hands on Jennie. Forrest was a strong, fast guy, but he was gentle overall.
@@Belthazor24 I'm kind of joking because the movie sucks
A good script is what you need.
@@michaell8002 i know where you live.
I never get tired of this movie
@@user-fp5vf9qh3i it’s one of those movies you can watch over. Also I found I got more emotional watching it as an older person
Nobody will ever EVER convince me that this isn't the GREATEST movie of all time. This radio and remember the titans are like the holy trinity.
A gut wrenching sequence in this great movie. I have little doubt, some vets of that era ghosted themselves watching this perhaps one too many times - Vietnam Combat Vet
This movie is a masterpiece. That's all I got to say about that.
Even when everyone undermined him and insulted his intelligence , he was still more loyal and compassionate then all of them combined. Forest may not have been equally equipped mentally but his so called lack of intelligence made him a better human being .
in my view, forrest was just a bit slow but he went to college, played football for alabama, served in the military, saved a bunch of lives, charmed the pants off of nixon, invested in apple computers, gave the share of shrimping boat company to bubba's family. now how can i diss a good man like that? jenny never deserved him.
No, it was the teachings of his mother, which informed his soul because of her love for him.
I think that this goes into a biblical aspect that was conveyed in the film, inadvertently. This being that what God finds favorably the worldly finds foolish. Who really had the disability? Was it Forrest or those others. Forrest had true character in that he was loyal, loved genuinely, cared about others and not just himself, also not hating himself despite many trying to tear him down and exploit him.
These are attributes that many of the others lacked hence being the ones with the disability character wise as well as ethically and morally as it showed in their world views and actions.
People when they get shot: "I'm hit!"
Forrest: "Something bit me!"
As many times as I’ve seen this movie over all these years…I never once noticed Lt. Dan and the other soldiers in the background in this scene 4:14.
"I GOTTA FIND BUBBA!!"
That's where the tears usually start for me.
same
Facts man.
One of my favorite touches has always been the sheer rage with which Lt. Dan returns fire after Gump gets shot.
He knew Gump was a god damn war hero in that moment, even if he didn't have the words to say it.
'bubba was gonna be a shrimping boat captain... Instead he died by that river in Vietnam'
50,000 plus lost American lives captured in one sentence
The look of sheer terror that Tom Hanks shows in the scene gives me the chills
