#ForrestGump #TomHanks - Zábava
When Forest asked, "is he smart or is he..." That part always gets me because he is well aware of his condition, which hasnt ever stopped him.
I get a tear in my eye whenever I watch this movie.
And neither one of the three shed a tear. You monsters! :D
Not 1 bit....he EXCELS... Most people (me included) would be satisfied with just 1 of Forrests accomplishments lol....he had it ALL but all he wanted was his Jenny and his mama
people usually dont realize that we know that we have a condition. That part its sad because is a real feeling. I'm still afraid to have a child, because I know that he/she can be like me.
I really feel for those living with certain conditions, like his, who know they have it but can't control it. Like it's one thing to have a mental illness, but it's another when you know it and therefore feel how different it makes you from everyone else. That's hard.
The “is he smart or is he (like me)” part gets me every time. One of my favourite films of all time.
Forrest inadvertently exposing the Watergate scandal is my favorite joke in the film. lol
That was one of the references I didn't catch during my first viewing as I was young at the time. One reference I didn't connect until like my 3rd viewing was "Freebird" being played when Jenny was contemplating suicide on the balcony.
The final scene with Forrest and his Mom had always got to me in the past. "She had got the cancer and died on a Tuesday." But I can barely stand to watch it now after my own Mom died of cancer on a Tuesday in 2018. Treasure your mother, guys. Nothing will ever feel the same once she's gone!
@@LtDan-rk4si i choose not to remember the day and year my grandma passed, though it was recent, and every death scene in anything i see hits me so much harder now. On top of the random bouts of crying. I'm sorry for both of ur losses.
"Have you found Jesus yet, Gump?"
*"I didn't know I was supposed to be looking for him, Sir."*
"I'm sorry I ruined your Black Panther Party"
@Goat Man BBC
Im sorry i ruined your new years eve party, lt. Dan. She tasted like cigarettes
Forrest is an amazing character, it's impossible not to root for him.
You're right about that
Jenny on the other hand...
Forrest? Root? Is that a pun?
No
@@calebmurphy9406 Not an intentional one, but i see what you mean.
Little girl Jenny prayed to be turned into a bird so she could fly away (from her father who was molesting her). When Forrest was at her grave the birds suddenly flew from the tree.
Tom Hanks told a really great story on the Today show when he went for an interview. They were doing the interview in front of a window and they mentioned to him that across the street was a Bubba Gump Shrimp Restaurant, which the chain started because of this movie. Tom Hanks then said "Yeah I know. What's funny is that building used to be my bank back when I was a struggling actor. I would go in there and have to convince them to cash my unemployment checks. And if I could go back in time, one of the things I would do is go back to that bank and tell them 'One day this building is going to be a restaurant based on a character I play in a movie.'"
In Bayou la Batre, Alabama there are a bunch of shrimp fishermen that do struggle with income. However, they have the best Royal Red shrimp per lb they sell still alive from the back of their pickup trucks on highway 45 every season. The shrimp and place is made famous by the novel and movie, but the area is extremely poor.
Jenny was the victim of abuse. As children who were abused grow older they often don’t feel they deserve love and push people away. I believe Jenny loved Forrest she just didn’t feel she deserved his love and ran away. It was only as she was dying she final let herself be loved by someone and she knew Forrest was a good man that would take care of her and their son.
Not only that, but I think it's clear that she was worried that she would be taking advantage of Forrest if they were to get into a relationship, and that she would be doing to him what her father did to her. Not necessarily true, but an understandable concern for a survivor of abuse.
WOW sooo much to justify women taking advantage of men. lf that was a man doing that to a mentally challanged girl, you wouldn't be saying this would you?
if a girl is clearly abusive "she must have reasons" huh? she even left him with a child which let's be honest most probably isn't his. if women wanna complain about sexism, they should learn to accept that women can be abusers too. the fact that she was abused doesn't excuse anything!
@@richlasma Why are you so offended? Her points are completely valid and it is probably what the writers intended as well. She is not saying it was right or wrong, she is just saying how her actions are coherent with those of abused children. I think you read much more than what was actually said.
@@richlasma If the man was molested by his father for years, yeah people would saying that. Why are you so offended by a simple post about Jenny?
"He's so smart Jenny"
Always gets me
I remember being annoyed with Jenny throughout the movie but nah it makes sense especially later on when she stays with him and then leaves after rejecting his marriage proposal. She knows she's not good enough for him and once again sets upon her own path and does fix herself by getting and job and apartment and finally having a son
Not to mention she had been abused by her dad as well. That also had to have been a contributing factor too
Yeah I always wondered what the movie would be like from her pov. She's an abused poor girl who's bff is literally an american hero of course she feels less than him, her self-image is so low, all she can do is try to stay away from him because she feels like she's not good enough, but she also loves him a lot. Her story is so sad and I wish she'd had a happy ending with Forrest and their kid, instead of dying too young.
S C I’d say she had a happy ending. She got clean, had a loving son, got married to a good man who had loved her all her life and spent the rest of her time being happy with them.
@@Serenity113 meh, agree to disagree :) I think growing old together is a much happier end but you're right that it's better than her dying alone and her kid having no one.
Knowing what's she's going through doesn't give her an excuse to treat Forrest the way she did.
I have cried three times in my life.
Once when I was hit by a school bus when I was 7.
Once when I'd heard that Lil Sebastian had died.
And once when Forrest asked if his son was smart.
Okay calm down there tough guy don’t wanna eviscerate me from existence with your raw tough guy energy
Jenny's death still makes me cry.
Hank's based his performance on the actor playing young Forrest who actually did talk that way. Best. Leo.
yep they were trying to figure out how Forest was going to talk, and Hanks looked at the kid actor and said "why don't I just talk like him"
@@eolsunder "He sounds dumb. I'll copy him."
@@mattheston9132
He sounds regional, not dumb.
Such a shame that people simply don’t understand Jenny’s character and don’t like her, you’ll never understand until someone you love doesn’t love themselves because of the baggage or past trauma.... never. And it’s sad.
Tanveer Singh Bhullar it’s a movie calm down
@@nissy9220 Shouldn't that be said to Jenny haters instead?
Sometimes there isn't enough rocks in the world.
jp3813 to both
@@nissy9220 Well, one is simply addressing the other.
this was my favorite movie growing up, i've seen it so many times. to this day it's in my top 5 movies of all time. it's damn near perfect.
Robert Zemeckis directed Cast Away as well.
Also, you should watch Apollo 13, another great Tom Hanks movie
Forrest Gump won best movie on the 1995 oscars, and Tom Hanks even won an oscar for best actor. My favourite movie of all time, I could watch it every day
Forrest Gump won Best Picture, Best Actor in a Leading Role (Hanks won the previous year for Philadelphia), Best Director, Best Visual Effects, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Film Editing at the 67th Academy Awards.
I love how this movie shows so many good life lessons. A lot of people dislike Jenny the first time watching this movie but she couldn't have been any other way. Two different paths. Both children have a bad start in life. Forest Gump with his low intelligence but the most obvious was his physical disability. That is what made people stare at him. Oh, and he is average looking. Nobody expects him to do something great with his life. Jenny at first seems to be healthy, with good social skills and she absolutely fits all the current beauty standards. Should make it far life. But the abuse took a toll on her mental health. Because she was leaking the lessons and the love Forest got from his mum this girl lived a selfdistructive lifestyle. Her problems might not have been as obvious as Forests but way more severe. So in the end, having good people raise you and surrounding yourself with them makes all the difference.
This movie beat out Shawshank Redemption and Pulp Fiction for Best Picture in 1994, and Tom Hanks won the Oscar for Best Actor as well
What a stacked line up. Well deserved win though.
@Silvacron Both are amazing films but this is better
3 of the best movies ever made in the same year, incredible
With the new quota system all three would likely now miss out on nomination for best picture.
@@jomac2046 they all would've easily qualified. Pretty much all movies pass the quotas based on the production staff alone.
This makes me cry dang time, it's the scene when Forrest goes to see his mama sick and then she passes away, makes me hug my own mama. Like Ms. Gump, my mama is all I got left after my dad passed when I was about 10. 😥😥😭.... Every dang time!
The book "Forrest Gump" is very fun too. It is written as if Forrest is talking as the narrator - in the same dialect that Tom Hanks used. He goes on so many other adventures, including going into space and being stranded on an island (ironic that Hanks was in Apollo 13 and Castaway).
One of the big differences is Jenny. In the book, she is truly in love with Forrest. She is much less of a tortured soul and traveling spirit.
Steven Spielberg's The Terminal has a great Hanks performance, and that's just a fun endearing movie.
One that I personally love is The Coen Bros movie, The Ladykillers, with a really wily performance from Hanks, and plenty of dark comedy.
I consider the Terminal like a reverse Castaway. Its a awesome movie
If you haven't seen it, how about A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN, maybe?? This is another feel good tear jerker.
There's no CRYING in baseball......LOL!!!!
That movie is so delightful.
Duuuude, I have been meaning to ask you guys to do this movie for so long, and lo and behold, you do it on my birthday. 😁 Thanks for the gift! Lol
Happy Birthday John!
Happy Birthday!!
Thanks for the birthday wishes!
One of the greatest movies of all time
I love Tom Hanks, he's by far my favorite actor. No matter what character he plays, it's always so convincing. I hope you guys one day choose "Cast Away" as it is one film where he is literally by himself almost the entire movie. And he does a damn good job acting the part of a man stranded and alone.
"If God had meant for us to be the same, we'd all have braces on our legs." - Momma Gump
Who cried after watching this movie?? And realized you can never become like Forrest, so dedicated and always keeping promises.
You guys missed the kid, his son who appears for less than a minute here... he went on to headline THE SIXTH SENSE along Bruce Willis just 5 years after Forrest Gump.
Also after this movie Gary Sinise started his band the LT Dan band and has toured all over for the USO for the troops, HE also founded the Gary Sinise Foundation which has many programs to help Veterans, Gold Star families, EMS, Police, last year they teamed up with the snowball express and took 1700 children of fallen soldiers to Disney.
I also like the aspect of "running" in this movie. Jenny told Forrest to run in the first place because she would run from her father's abuse. Jenny's running was based on the abuse by her father, running from being loved by Forrest (until she got sick), running from drugs, wild parties and abusive relationships. Forrest running led to getting his legs fixed, being on the high school football team, led to a college football scholarship, helped him save the men from the Vietnam war which got him a medal of honor and even starting a marathon. Both Forrest and Jenny ran throughout the movie and were impacted by it positively and negatively.
Regarding the idea that Jenny isn't a "good girlfriend." Well, she's not supposed to be. Jenny is a complex character, and her relationship with Forrest is complex. This isn't meant to be a rom-com.
yea she is screwed up
I saw this in the theater and loved it so much that I just stayed in my seat for the next showing. The second time when he opened his suitcase at the beginning I knew what all the items in it meant and I immediately cried like a baby.
Robert Zemekis also directed Who Framed Roger Rabbit, which reunited him with Christopher Lloyd from Back To The Future. You really should watch that film.
"My mama always said, 'Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're gonna get'."
Still an amazing performance by Tom Hanks
Death Becomes Her is a GREAT forgotten Robert Zemeckis film.
I Wanna Hold Your Hand (1978) & Used Cars (1980) are the most forgotten and underrated Zemeckis films.
Oh my gosh, I so loved this video. Yours is my favorite for this movie so far.
I love that you guys chose this movie. I wish you had been able to do it in two parts, because there’s so much to the movie and I would like to see your reactions.
Forrest talking to Jenny's grave is one of my top tear-jerking moments in movies.
I love this movie.
Fun fact: Tom Hanks has a brother Jim, who mostly does voice acting (done some real acting too), and they look so much alike, but in facial features and body stature, and height that they used Jim as Tom's running double in far away shots, so Tom could concentrate on filming other scenes. (Jim has also done Woody's voice for the Toy Story short stories, video games, the talking Andy doll toy, etc. since that would have been a lot for Tom to do, so Tom suggested Jim do it, and, so, he's done all of that. And you cannot hear that it's Jim instead of Tom.)
Also, Tom adapted to the young-Forrest kid actors' own accent on his own suggestion.
Before and after this movie, Gary Sinise (Lt Dan) got involved with helping wounded warriors and started a nonprofit (2011), and pursued helping veterans with disabilities. In 2003, he started the Lt. Dan Band to perform for military in the USO events. Then in 2011, he started his own organization called the Gary Sinise Foundation to further support the military men and women.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit? That's a really good one from him.
Yeah that's a great one
Forrest Gump is instant classic film. It's one of my favorite movies and Tom Hanks movies. I can always watch this without getting bored. Thank you for watching this film!
Have you guys seen That Thing You Do? - Film by Tom Hanks. Kind of a 50/60’s young band shooting to fame, maybe a little too quickly and early. Such a fun film and the music is great!
When I watched your Saving Private Ryan reaction video and I commented saying "OMG what's next? Forest Gump?"
yes! Predictions came true!!!!
Another one of the classics. Really enjoyed re-watching this one with you guys, too!
Definitely one of my favourite movies. I first saw this movie on a flight when I was 12 years old and I cried my eyes out. Tom Hanks is amazing.
I just watched and payed attention fully for the first time now as a grown man, last time I saw it was when I was too young to understand the message of the movie, really haunting to watch it again and understand its message.
This is the most beautiful film I have ever seen in my life, a cinema class.
+
In this country nice guys are at the bottom of the wish list. American women like nice guys as friends, nice guys get used. Did you notice Lt. Dan ended up with a Vietnamese woman? I took notice and went back to Vietnam after 50 years and found the love of my life.
Mark 15:25. It won the "Oscar" for "Best Visual Effects"! That was stunning to some, like me, as it was not set in Outer Space, or in a Fantasy Realm, and to others, that didn't realize how it was made, as it was so subliminal! The makers of, "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine", were able to use the same technology to make the crossover episode, "Trials and Tribble-ations". One guy made a quick demonstration video for another guy. The second guy, had to be told what he was looking at! That's how novel it was in the 1990s! 😊👍😎
Drill sergeant acts like the bus driver should, bus driver acts like a drill sergeant should. (I loved that drill sergeant)
My Dad Forrest Gumped in Vietnam or Korea. He got shot in the ass saving his platoon and had to go the Whitehouse for medals and letters of commendation. Decades later he still required surgeries on his lower back.
Also, the swearing dude at the Washington Monument was a very accurate portrayal of Abbie Hoffman.
They used Forrest's running to highlight a major theme throughout the film and not just in the literal sense. On one hand, you have Forrest running toward his future, and on the other you have Jenny running from her past. Tom Hanks had stated that what he said in on the stage in DC was "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." Another great Tom Hanks film is A League of Their Own
I thoroughly enjoyed seeing your reactions to Forrest Gump.
It's a special movie.
Forrest is like a fairy-tale character, but then he takes an unwitting trip through a couple of decades of US history.
Hi Stormy fam! first-time commenter. Ive been with you for the last couple of years. for me, its like watching the movies that track with me with my mom, aunt, and grandma! I love it. You are so fun and willing to explore new cinema. BTW....FG is in my top 5. Because of writing #1 , storytelling # 2, acting # 3. cinematography #4, and finally...CGI #5. (this movie changed everything with the use of proper digital graphics.
Watching y’all has helped me get through quarantine, Love this My absolute favorite movie.
"I got shot in the buttocks", cracks me up everytime.
Hello from Adelaide South Australia I just subed I love your reaction videos keep up the great work.👍
In the scene where Forrest is at the Vietnam rally and the microphone is unplugged Tom Hanks has said that what Forrest says is " Sometimes in Vietnam they go home to their Mommas without any legs, sometimes they don't go home at all...that's a bad thing.
Hello Ladies,
Great reaction! Forest Gump has always been a very sweet and touching film. Unforgettable! Since you all have watched several films together; I was hoping you remembered some of the faces? Actress Robin Wright places Jenny. You all saw her in Wonder Woman. In addition, actor Haley Joel Osment plays Forest's son. You guys saw him as an adult in season 1 of The Boys. Anyways, thank you for posting. I always enjoy your videos. Happy Saturday! 😊
I like how you gals talk about the movie after the movie is over. I also watch other CZcamsr's "Reactions" which are just them reacting in the moment and when the movie is over the video is over. Those are nice but I really like when people discuss the movie afterwards. Forrest Gump and Saving Private Ryan are two of the best movies ever made. Both Tom Hanks, both emotional movies. I am glad you understand Jenny. So many people hate her but she is a broken soul. She keeps going into abusive relationships (forged from the abuse from he father), spirals out of control and then returns to Forrest to ground herself before again going back into her routine of abusive relationships. Tragic for Jenny and Tragic for Forrest. An emotional roller coaster. During Jenny's funeral the birds flying away goes back to Jenny and Forrest in the field hiding from her father and Jenny praying to become a bird so she can fly away from the abuse. You also mentioned the parents which is another contrast in the show. Forrest is special but raised by a loving mother and turns out ok. Jenny is normal but damaged by her father and is broken. Deep movie.
Hi Kevin, I really like this comment here! The Post-Reaction movie discussions done by Storm Akima reminds me of how my friends and I would walk out of a movie theater and then talk about our thoughts on the film we just saw while standing in the lobby of the movie theater....Forrest Gump is just such an inspirational movie, and I quote it all the time! My brother actually has Autism, which makes me connect with the movie even more (I know Forrest did not have Autism, but him and my brother relate in that they are both disabled).
I actually posted a video on my channel 2 Weeks ago that is almost like a tribute video to Forrest Gump (though I called it a Mashup). You see, there's a band named Family Of The Year, and they used their hit song "Hero" for Richard Linklater's 2014 movie called Boyhood. For my video, I used "Hero" as background music while showing various scenes from Forrest Gump. Aside from matching song lyrics with movie scenes, my intention with the video was to create something that is unique and heart-felt.
If you have a few minutes sometime and are interested, here is a link to the video: czcams.com/video/Or-sIiNANYg/video.html
If you don't check it out, no worries at all! I won't be offended! But thank you so much in advance if you do see it! Have a great day, and stay safe!
Thank you for doing this one 😊
Definitely one of my top 10 favorite movies..
Fun facts : Tom Hanks has a twin brother that runs cross country and he did all the running scenes. Tom changed his accent in the movie because the little boy with whom he shares the role of Forrest has an accent and he didn't want him to feel left out. Another is a question I see a lot, who is the man in the American Flag shirt ? Abby Hoffman.
Sure did get an award, Tom Hanks got an Oscar for this I believe beating some other awesome roles in the same category that year and best picture beating films like pulp fiction
Mark 4:28. Just an FYI, about how before this movie, Tom & Sally, played lovers, in a different movie. Now she is playing the role of mother to his role of son! Back in the day, a lot of people noted that. 🤔
Fun fact: Tom Hanks and Gary Sinese were in three movies together.... Forrest Gump, Green Mile, and Apollo 13.
Apparently John Travolta was the first choice to play Forrest Gump. To be honest I actually can see Travolta doing a great job of playing the role, that being said Hanks did an outstanding performance.
Yeah but really he already has a movie partially like that called Phenomenon
Wesley Brown phenomenon is nothing like that lol
Possibly my two favourite movies of all time came out during the same year - Forest Gump and The Shawshank Redemption. Unfortunately, only one of them could win the Oscar for best picture.
my favorite movie ever. im so excited to watch this with you guys
In my opinion, Forrest wasn't the father of Jenny's illegitimate son at all. She was dying of a mystery virus (probably AIDS) and knew that Forrest would give her son a great life after she was gone. So she finally gave in and married Forrest. It worked out nicely all around, but still she was totally using him.
this was the first movie i had seen with Gary Sinise in it. loved everything he's done since.
One of the greatest movies ever made hands down!!! Probably have watched this hundreds of times 😁
Saw an interview with the guys who did the CGI. Of all of it they said getting the feather to look real was harder then putting Tom Hanks in any of the history moments.
I saw this with my sister in the theater and spent the whole time feeling uneasy and sorry for Forrest. I saw it again with friends and had a great time, enjoying Forrest's light way and the humor of the movie. It really matters who you watch some movies with. Apollo 13 was Tom Hanks' next movie, and it was weird seeing him talk normally again.
Mark 26:52. Another movie has a parody scene, where the line is, "Run, Florist! Run!" 😅😂👍😎
Funny thing I am a total al Pacino and Meryl streep fan but these has been my favorite movie with schindler's list.there is just something about it..the universality of it
i cannot come up with another story that leaves you heartbroken and happy at the same time
I have watched way too many films in my life and this is by far my favourite :)
That was the famous Alabama coach who Forrest played for.
12:29 that scene breaks my heart in two, honestly, cause that's the moment you realise Forrest knew all along what people said about his intelligence.
The feather, according to either director Robert Zemekis or Tom Hanks himself, is meant to symbolise the uncertainty of fate versus chance - does it land there because it was pre-ordained, or was it complete coincidence? Just like Forrest’s life, which seems so unplanned and chaotic and yet he rubs shoulders with so many key historic figures and actually builds a comfortable living with no small measure of celebrity and fame.
Some of the better-known films Robert Zemeckis has directed include
Used Cars (1980)
Romancing The Stone (1984)
Back to the Future 1, 2, and 3
Death Becomes Her, Trespass (1992)
Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)
Contact (1997)
Cast Away (2000)
He is also Directing a Remake of the 1990 film The Witches which will be released in 2021
I thought you guys reacted to Forrest Gump, I guess I was wrong but I'm so glad you guys react to it.
What a great movie, if I remember right it was released the same year I was born, can’t remember who told me that but that would make this film 26 years old now, but yeah masterpiece of a film and always brings a tear to my eye
Forest Gump movie is an awesome movie and all so enjoyed you all commentary of the movie. Good job
This movie Is everything ❤
Forrest Gump’s friend and Shrippin partner the other Black Gump was originally supposed to be played by rapper/actor Ice Cube who turned the part down
Forrest thought Jenny’s father was a kind and loving man. He didn’t understand why she didn’t want to go home. He didn’t understand why she threw rocks at the house....He understand anything about her. Unable to empathize with her. That would be a horrible marriage for her. She married him because otherwise her child would have been placed in foster care.
Aww man, I totally teared up watching this!
1. Do you want to see not only the BEST Tom Hanks but the BEST MOVIE of all times? The Green Mile.
YOU WILL CRY.
2. It takes more than just being able to run fast to be a level 1 (Alabama) RB.
3. With a college degree Forrest would have gone into the Army as an Officer. Like LT. Dan.
4. It's physically impossible to drink 15 Dr. Peppers.
5. Jenny died of AIDS.
6. 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. Forrest Gump Jr is Haley Joel Osment. He had a major roll in "The Sixth Sense" "I see dead people" with Bruce Willis. (must watch and react)
Great reaction ladies to one of my favorite movies of all time.
But you ain’t got no legs lieutenant dan! This movie is pure genius comedy
Tom Hanks and Shelley long: THE MONEY PIT
Apparently the message that stupidity is redemption is what Americans wanted to hear.
I love this movie. But what is more believable, that this lovable "idiot" could have actually had a part in all of these different events, or that he fantasized them?
And Forrest is only in his mid-40s by the end of this movie (I'm guessing). Who knows what else he might go on to do?
This is a great movie and the reason Shawshank Redemption didn't do as well in the box office and at the Oscars is because this movie overshadowed it.
Shawshank Redemption was the better movie, but this movie was amazing too.
@@JacoryWilliams eh, I'd say Forrest the better movie. Plus it aged so gracefully, not that Shawshank isnt still a great film but Forrest is staple in pop culture, like back to the future.
@@TUN3MODE just cause something is more popular doesn't mean it's better in quality.
@@JacoryWilliams - TSR is #1 on IMDB rated by the fans. What is the point?
@@ghenry4513 what's what point?
