    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.

The guy even says he's heard some whoppers and laughs at the fact this simpler man is claiming to be the founder of a massive well-known corporation (the guy even says you're the Bubba-Gump Shrimp corporation and laughs walking away). Wouldn't you be shocked to find the guy you were sitting with on a bus stop bench was the founder of RUclips or something?
      Forrest is so humble he doesn't even think to prove it. He asks the lady if she wants to see Lt. Dan - just continuing his story. When he uses Fortune magazine to show her simply what Dan looks like, she's shocked because everything he said was true.
      Shows how humble Forrest is. Even when someone is making fun of him, and he can easily prove it, he's too humble/simple to care. "Are you stupid or something?"

    Teaches us a lot about this movie. Forrest never does anything stupid. The entire movie he makes the right moral decisions and puts the people he loves over his material possessions. Lieutenant Dan wanted to die in vietnam, jenny never loved Forrest who always loved her. If stupid is as stupid does, Forrest was the smartest in the whole movie.

    Such a beautiful scene, and the message is truly inspiring.
    The storm represents Lt. Dan confronting his demons and all the angry and misery that is in his life. Unlike in previous scenes, he is not trying to hide from his troubles with alcohol or women; he is facing them head on and telling them that they can either kill him or leave him, but, either way, he will not let them torment him anymore. This is further supported calm and success after the storm. He has triumphed and rid himself of his demons. Lt. Dan jumping into the water represents his baptism - his rebirth, the start of his new life.

Especially when you are young and there's so many oppurtunity. She's tried to gain a reliable love but her luck is fucked every time. Also, she does not demand any penny from Forrest so no one has a right to says anything about her.
      Forrest gets his fortune out of his misfortunes. Whenever the world fuck him, destiny rewards him back with tons of goods. While Jenny is the opposite. If they were together in the first place, Jenny would protect Forrest from all that misfortune thus causing him to lose a chance to gain fortunes. That's why they are perfect. They even each other out. The best outcome of this I can think of is Forrest's work as a Janitor, Jenny as a waitrest.
      As for the canon storyline, they did not together at first. God favors Forrest while Jenny doesn't. Forrest got the luxury life but his retardness won't allow him to enjoy or truly understand the meaning of it. Jenny can feel all but all she feels is empty. In the end, Forrest got a son whom he can feel loved by others than Jenny. And Jenny, die but knowing that someone truly loves her, and her son exists. And her son's life would be ensured with happiness thanks to Forrest. Their destiny even out with their son.
      No matter in what circumstances, they would always be a perfect pair, a happy ending for them. Just not the kind of Micky Mouse ending, or Teenager love story ending where everyone kisses and fuck with a smile in the end so lots of people blame Jenny. Cause she's not the main character.

    You know a lot get's made about how "dumb" Forest Gump was, and as a kid I used to think that as well. As I've gotten older I've come to appreciate just how wise of a character he was. How many times we over think something and how that stops us from doing something. Here for example Forest didn't think about how he could start a Shrimping company, how to make it work, what could go wrong, etc etc he just did it and rolled with things as it came. He ran just for the hell of it and was able to navigate coast to coast via the road system in the US. He immediately understood that in the military he needed to do what he was told and quickly adapted everything he needed to know. He wasn't smart by how we would traditionally judge someone as intelligent, but he definatly possesses his own wisdom that could be envied.

    Lt. Dan is a majorily relatable character for me. Im not nor have I been a druggie or a cripple, but, the scene at the new years party where he just kinda looks not even part of the room as everyone is celebrating the new year was how i was from 13-16 years old, my father was emotionally abusive and i had learned some hard truths and was not able to express my emotions in a healthy way:i played football because it tested my physical might and was violent, same with lifting weights, but i still had eating disorder issues. However, my dad finally got put in a nursing home, and i was already starting to be able to live oblivious to his existence because i had my license and was working, but, by the grace of the universe, he finally realized he was causing too much emotional damage to himself and others so he decided it was time for qualified professionals to take care of him and his ailments. That is when i began to heal, a lot. I learned a lot about myself through thinking about my emotions/reactions to certain things, and, as lietuenant dan did, i made my peace. They always talk about the pursuit of happiness or whatever but i believe that the ultimate happiness is peace, and it is what we should seek out.

    The lady sitting next to Forrest on that bench looks a lot and reminds me of my Grandma Fleming. She was an incredible woman and it was an honor to know her. I really miss her.

    Lately I been reading up on stories of Vietnam vets healing from their traumas and guilt, many even traveling to Vietnam finding the pieces of themselves they left behind, getting the attention they deserved after being forced into a war that wasn't even theirs to fight only to be neglected afterwards and left to fend for themselves, many living exactly as Lt Dan is depicted
    And I don't know why but lately those stories have just been getting to me, including this otherwise fictional account, they can't go back to who they were before but they can still find a bright future for themselves and find healing and forgiveness

    It's poetic that Lt. Dan brings up never thanking Forrest for saving his life and still doesn't thank him. That's one different way to say, he was fine with dying in Vietnam, but he is also fine with living a second life

    "I never thanked you for saving my life."
    I feel like he's not only thanking Forrest for Vietnam, but also from saving him from going down the same route Jenny did with her life in the city; a life of isolation and unhappiness.
