    One thing of note, that is never alluded to in the film, is that for Forrest Gump to receive the Medal of Honor, his direct commanding officer (Lt. Dan) will have had to write a personal letter of recommendation for the award. So although he hated Forest for doing what he did, he did recognize his heroic actions and made it a point to ensure Forest was given what he deserved.

      @lukeyanes47 They're exceptions. I'm not sure how medically incapacitated his commanding officer would have to be before the duty would pass to the next in the line of command.
      My guess is he would of been put in for the DSC and then when they started looking around for someone to upgrade (when the President wanted to award one to a man in each service) Lt Dan would already have been Med Boarded and it would have been very difficult for him to stand in the way in the interview.

      @@gk5891 Exactly right. The OP is correct that normally the soldier's direct commanding officer would put in the reco, but since Dan was incap it could have easily been the Company, Battalion or even division commander who put in the reco based on Dan's report. While every person who receives a MOH deserves it, it's also often a political 'for the unit' reco, and therefore not ALWAYS the direct commander. Higher up the chain recos have and do happen.

    That smile Lt. Dan and Forrest Gump exchanged at his wedding is honestly the part that made me tear up the most. A smile that basically says "we made it" and the fact that Lt. Dan actually addresses Forrest by his first name towards the latter of the film, which indicates how close they became through all of their hardships and adventures together.

Dan quand il ne veut pas qu'on dérange Forrest sur le bateau : "Vous allez devoir le rappeler plus tard, il est indisposé pour le moment." Touchante attention qui préfigure la scène du mariage où clairement, on voit à travers les deux sourires et les deux regards ce lien puissant qui existe entre eux désormais. Merveilleuse séquence.

    I lived through all of the historical events of this movie and I am a Vietnam Veteran. I went to the University of Alabama shortly after George Wallace stood in the door of the university. I remember like it was yesterday all of the assassinations depicted in the movie. The last assassination in the movie was Ronald Regan although he did survive the attempt. Americans of my generation have a more deeply felt reaction than those who did not live through it. I enjoyed your views on this.

      I also clearly remember all of these events because I lived through them but since I was living in Ohio when I went to college never had the wonderful experience you did at the University of Alabama...however my son's mother in law did when Bear Bryant was still coaching. My brother in law went to Vietnam in that era. This movie is great in the ability to bring an era into historical context in every aspect covering the entire spectrum and the music aided this full picture along with inserting Forrest and Jenny into every aspect on life during those decades.

      I'm guessing the film I've cherished for 30 years is far superior to the book. I'd only gotten half way through the first page of the short novel two months ago when I slammed it shut and returned it to the library. Call me a prude, but I found Forrest's crude, disparaging remakes about down syndrome kids intolerable. Later, I read in another reacter's comment section that the book was racist, too, but I never got that far into it.

    I love this little dialog moment. After Jenny sleeps with Forrest, and she is catching the cab, the driver asks, innocently, "Where are you running off to?" and she responds "I'm not running." The driver did not mean it as an accusation, but Jenny heard it as an accusation, because she **was** running.

    The thing with Jenny's behavior is simple psychology! As a daughter of an abusive, violent father, she learned, that the people you trust the most, your parents, hurt her and don't love her.
    So later she felt never good enough for anybody and attracted violent men.
    She was just trying to protect Forrest from herself. In a weird way, but that's how it is.
    Something like this happening to you as a child or at any age is a big trauma, that will destroy most of your life, till you get a chance to work on it.
    It is ofc way more complex, but I think, it explains her behavior a little better.

      It's Hollywood so you know liberties will be taken.
      Technically the hat would be incorrect for 1962 (estimate of year). He didn't start wearing checked until 1965 (Gift from Sonny Werblin or Weeb Ewbank of NY Jets) and Houndstooth until 1968 (His taylor Butch Baldone picked it up to go with a Black Cashmere Jacket and Silver Flannel Pants).
      *Gov. George Wallace "Stand in the Schoolhouse Door" at Alabama was 1963.
      I suspect most of the people under 50 years old and not from Alabama wouldn''t recognize the significance of that hat unless they are from Alabama. I certainly wouldn't expect her to recognize the significance.

    As you know she was abused by her father and there is a saying: Hurt people, hurt people.
    She tells Forrest he doesn’t know what love is, because SHE doesn’t know what love is. Also, being abused makes you feel not worthy of love, or even kindness.
    She had a breakthrough when she almost died, that’s when we see her come back and spend time with Forrest. She had the final one when she had a child. When you have a kid self destructive acts like doing heavy drugs are hurting more than just yourself and it can really wake you up.

    From Elvis to AIDS (or Hep C in the book) Forrest Gump is the story of a generation; the historical touchstones, the music, the traumas, and the philosophical questions that we wrestled with. I have read that it is even used to help teach about the time period in some American History classes. I always enjoy watching people react to this movie to see which pieces of history are still remembered and which are no longer recognized.

    I just liked and subscribed. You earned it with this reaction. Forrest Gump is my favorite film of all-time. Just a grand achievement. Sometimes funny, very dramatic. Lots of emotions pouring through. Wonderful sound and special effects. The "Is he smart" line was so well crafted by Hanks. We knew exactly what he was trying to say.
    From my repeat viewing and internal thought-process, I think the film is massively deep. Forrest is depicted as a simple man with simple morals. He wasn't meant to have an intellectual disability. The film reminds us that anybody can make a difference in our society and that kindness, faith & understanding triumphs at the end. People have also noted that the film details American history between 1960 and the early 1980. This was a time when America was grieving over JFK's death (Assassination) and the ramifications of the Vietnam War. Forrest represented America's confusion.

    Someone really should start an American history course covering the events in Forest Gump. It's one of the best highlights of US history from the 50s to the 90s I've seen on film.

      I agree. I know there have been college courses on Bob Dylan's songs history etc. and I believe Forrest Gump classes would also be a great way to examine the history of those decades.

    Great reaction like always, this movie its one of my favourites its such a masterpiece of cinema. Every character moment or performance in this movie is incredible perfection. The story is simple but interesting, funny and heartbreaking at the same time. The movie was based on the 1986 novel of the same name by Winston Groom.
    The author actually went to write the first draft of the flick before it went into production. Forrest was supposed to be a heavier man who sat at 242 pounds and stood at 6-foot-6. In the book, he became a wrestler, went to space and even hung out with an orangutan.
    And some fun-facts about this movie, Tom Hanks’ brother did some of that running in the movie Jim Hanks, himself an actor and filmmaker, doubled for his older brother on set, including in numerous sequences featuring Forrest’s high-knee, arm-pumping run.
    Tom hanks daugther was in this movie in a cameo if you keep an eye out for a surly redheaded girl in the bus scene, when young Forrest can’t find a place to sit (until Jenny invites him to sit next to her). That’s Hanks’ daughter, Elizabeth.
    While actor Peter Dobson played a not-yet-famous Elvis Presley as a lodger in the Gump household in a brief scene with young Forrest, the voice belongs to none other than actor Kurt Russell. Why? Russell, who was uncredited in the film, had played Presley already in a 1979 biopic directed by John Carpenter titled, appropriately enough, Elvis.
    And if you are wondering what Gump says in those few moments of radio silence? Well, according to Tom Hanks, the full speech reads: “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. Keep up the good work.

    I always comment the same thing in reaction videos. I saw this when it came out in the theater. I was maybe thirteen. The scene in Vietnam where it goes from the rain stopping and the sun coming up to the violent ambush was one of the most shocking transitions I've seen in a film.

    Forrest Gump was a magnificent emotional roller coaster. Highs and lows, thrills and spills, joy and sorrow....it was a very good story of Life.
    I've seen films that are sadder, films that ended in a heart-crushing way. Forrest Gump is not one of those films, in my opinion. Forrest experienced the full roller coaster of Life, and he came out of it stronger. He has the rest of his life to enjoy with his boy.
