Forrest Gump

I don’t know why I’ve seen so much hate on this amazing movie. Beautiful themes of destiny and life’s purpose and about the beauty but also the dangers and pain that comes with love, and loss and hope. This movie is a true classic. Forest is such a pure, good man and watching his life play out and him keep being a great person even while being bullied and ridiculed his whole life is truly inspiring. Jenny hate will NOT be tolerated, although she treated Forrest badly and took advantage of him in some ways, she truly did love him, we see many times her distancing herself from Forrest because she doesn’t believe she deserves that kind of love, only surrounding herself in negativity in an act of self sabotage because her deep down self hate and trauma from her dads abuse. Obviously trauma doesn’t excuse her doing bad but it gives reason. You guys just don’t understand her character. As someone who is not American, this is a good quick commentary of American history from 1960-1990 This movie has so many memorable quotes that really hit me: “You’ve got to put the past behind you, before you can move on” “I don’t know if we each have a destiny, or if we’re all just floating around accidental like on a breeze, but I think it’s both, maybe both is happening at the same time.” “Dear God, make me a bird so I can fly far, far, far away from here” And the whole scene where he meets his kid and is scared he will be “like him”… so heartbreaking
