    Welcome to our CZcams channel! Today, we are excited to bring you the classic American film, Forrest Gump. This movie is sure to tug at your heartstrings and leave you feeling inspired.
    For those of you who are unfamiliar with Forrest Gump, it is a 1994 American film directed by Robert Zemeckis. The story follows the life of Forrest Gump, a slow-witted but kind-hearted and athletically-talented man from Alabama. Throughout the movie, we see Forrest navigate through life- from childhood, to joining the military, becoming a football star, meeting several famous individuals, and ultimately finding love.
    For many villagers, this may be the first time watching Forrest Gump. As a reminder, this movie may contain themes and language that may not be suitable for younger audiences. However, we highly recommend that everyone watches this movie at least once in their lifetime. The story is beautiful and will leave you feeling inspired and hopeful.
    If you're looking for a film that explores the human experience, Forrest Gump is the perfect movie for you. In addition, this movie has won numerous awards and is considered by many to be one of the greatest American films of all time. It is a must-watch for anyone who loves cinema and appreciates good storytelling.
    Finally, we hope that this CZcams video helps bring people of this village together to enjoy and appreciate one of the greatest movies of all time. We encourage you to grab some snacks, sit back, and enjoy the ride with Forrest Gump. Thank you for watching and don't forget to like and comment below on what you thought of the movie!

    Your reactions were spot on. His mother was the only reason he ever had a chance, but then her teachings enabled him to soar from there. His legs were another challenge, but if not for Jenny standing up for him and telling him to run, he would not have broken his braces which enabled him to fly further. He found himself in the middle of so much the 60s American history.. He took his life lessons from the most important women in his life. His mother shaped his future. Sadly, for Jenny it was her father that's shaped hers. It was suggested that her father drank alcohol and he would physically and sexually abuse her and her sisters. That's what shaped her mind what a man that loves you does, he hurts you. She doesn't think she's good enough for Forrest, she thinks the only love she should have should be degrading. She learns to drink and do drugs like her father did to escape her shame. This is why Father's need to be good to their daughters. They learn from the father what traits to look for in a future mate, that's why they need their fathers to be good men. Sadly, Jenny finally found peace with herself when she had the child and married Forrest, but it was too late as she died soon after.

    Forest Gump is just a lovely, gentle movie. I think that some of the jokes do require a bit of cultural context, but following the basic story is easy enough. Forest is just the nice guy who finished first, after going through a lot of terrible stuff in his life.

  • @whade62000
    @whade62000 Před rokem +33

    They are always very sharp about understanding the main story, very impressive reaction.
    This can be a challenging movie because it has so many references to American history (Elvis Presley, John Lennon, the Ku Klux Klan, the hippie movement, Watergate Hotel, etc.) A lot of the story (like Jenny's child molester father) is implied rather than said and the reason is that we follow Forrest's naive narration that does not understand a lot of things that a clever and cynical audience would.
    Still, we can all relate to the message about hard work and morals succeeding over disadvantages. I think Babu's summation that this movie celebrates the common man was perfectly spot on.

    I love that he said, after Forrest your down Jenny's house , "know build something there" in all the reactions I've seen to this movie that was the best thing I heard about that scene.
    In regards to Jenny, it wasn't Jenny not understanding Forrest, it was Forrest not understanding Jenny. He never understood that her father was sexually abusing her and her sister and what they does to a child and how that affects that person forever. It took Jenny awhile to get it together. It was likely the birth of their son that was the catalyst to her being able to find some peace.
    Also the gentleman in the middle seems to forget that Forrest is rich. He doesn't need to earn. He can be a full time father without worrying any finances. As a matter fact it is insinuated that Forrest sits on that log all day until his son returns home from school..

    I will be 48. I remember trying to get my dad to watch this. I was amazed and it was an awesome movie. My Father said "No. I have no interest. The whole movie is saying even if you are slow and broken you will succeed. That is not how life works." I wanted to disagree, but aside from a very few, he was right. The world is not a gentle place. What he didn't take, because he didn't watch it, is you get what you give. I try, by my dad's own teachings, treat everyone as a friend until they give you a reason not to. That is one of the hardest things to do. Until someone gives you a reason not to like them, they are ok in my book.

    I love this movie! Thank you for sharing this with them.
    I'm always mad about what happened to Jenny. The man who was supposed to protect her and love her more than any other man on Earth was instead the one that showed her a life without love by sexually assaulting her and her sister while they were very young and because of this she was very traumatized and never knew her own self-value nor felt that she deserved love from a man. Because of the trauma she was always with men that abused her. Very sad. Like the rest of the movie, Jenny's death is important because this is around the time that the AIDS virus was first being seeing by doctors and no one knew what it was or how to treat it. It was primarily affecting homosexuals and drug addicts that shared needles at first, but then started to affect people that had received blood transfusions and had unprotected sex so it became the WORLD'S problem. Her death was the last historical moment marker in the movie.
    I think I may have mentioned before, but I do think they'd like the movies "Powder", "Meet Joe Black", and "Bicentennial Man". :)

    There's a lot lost in translation without the foundational knowledge of US history. It doesn't seem like they picked up on Jenny's having been sexually abused by her father either. Still, glad they enjoyed the movie and glad to see you continuing to show them Western cinema. I am repeating once more that I would be really intrigued to see what these guys make of the Lord of the Rings, but the same guys need to see all 3 films.

    Forrest Gump is a magnificent movie.
    Telling the story of a guy who grew up with some challenges. Difficulty in learning, unable to walk without supports. But his heart was always on the right side. And his mother never gave up on him. He eventually met a girl who helped him learn to talk and read more properly. And eventually, he even managed to walk properly without needing his supports, and when that happened, he ran!
    Forrest's learning disability may have never truly disappeared, he was still a bit slow at times, but it didn't matter. He understood still, and took things seriously often. His ability to run made him an excellent man for Rugby, he graduated collage, and he eventually got enlisted in the military. Once in the military he met with people he became friends with. One of them, Bubba he lost in the Vietnam war... But his selfless nature still saved several people, even if some weren't all too happy with it, such as Dan. Forrest was always a person with the heart in the right place. Even when he gained immense popularity, and even after meeting the President on several occasions, he never changed. The fame never went to his head. He was always the same. Every person he ever met in his life, eventually got a better life because of him. Bubba may have died, but because of profit with a successful shrimp industry put in motion by Forrest, Bubba's family profited greatly from it thanks to Forrest's kindness. Lieutenant Dan, whom originally despised having been saved by Forrest, eventually found a reason to live and ended up became extremely successful in life afterwards as well, because Forrest never gave up on him. Forrest's mother got to experience their son becoming incredibly successful in life, and their early support and belief in him was not for nothing. They succeeded as a parent and died a happy mother. Eventually we get to Jenny... She ended up living a rather horrible life at times. Filed with abuse and drugs... The only person who ever seemed to care for her was Forrest. He NEVER gave up on her, and he never stopped loving her either. And THAT devotion and loyalty eventually ended up helping Jenny out too. And when Forrest realize that she got him a son... He was originally afraid his son was a lot like him, less intelligent than normal, but turns out he was not. In fact he was even top of his class. And for obvious reasons, Forrest couldn't have been more proud.
    However, Jenny would eventually pass due to becoming too sick. But before she did, she would marry Forrest. And the story ends with Forrest finding new purpose as a father.
    Truly shows that no matter what Challenges your life starts of with... Your future can ALWAYS get bright and fantastic. Helping people, and caring for others will ALWAYS have a positive effect.

      YES. They would love Star Wars. They should show them the movies in release order, maybe putting the 2 (3 if you count the Clone Wars movie, but you don't really need to, do you?) spinoffs between the prequels and the sequels. They might have difficulties uploading it, though, since Disney keeps its copyrighted properties pretty close to them. However, they got away with Frozen and Moana, and many other channels have gotten away with uploading their reactions, so they might be safe.

    There's a lot of subtleties that I don't think they caught while watching this. Most of them had to do with the American history that was taking place around them. But also Jenny. She was sexually abused by her father. That's why her life was spiraling out of control so badly. The past was haunting her too much.

    1. The music rights 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 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.
    You guys need to do the GOAT. Tom Hanks in Stephen King's "The Green Mile. You will CRY.😭😭😭

    Though it is never explicitly state, I've always assumed the disease that killed Jenny was AIDS. The timing was right historically, as were a lot of the behaviours she engaged in that were considered factors in catching the condition. Funny seeing little Haley Joel before he started seeing dead people, but the whole cast was pretty damn solid. My only regret is so much of the content is relevant if you know the history of the events, so I don't blame the guys reviewing it for knocking something off the score.

    These gentlemen could just appreciate the general storyline. The one fellow recognized Elvis from videos, but they could not know references like the KKK, John Lennon and 'Imagine', Watergate, LBJ, etc. That is half the fun of the movie. No wonder they did not give it 5 out of 5.
    They thought of this as the story of a common man, overcoming difficulty. Nope -- he has the power of 'magical realism' where he is granted speed, luck at fishing, excellence at ping-pong, etc. It is either blessing, or plot armor. I can't tell.
