Forrest Gump soundtrack
Great viewing, you got me to sub.
Classic and poignant.👍😘❤️💙🇺🇦💛❤️
Delighted to have shared this movie with you. There are some other movies of a very high caliber we would be happy to recommend?
I think the simplest thing escapes most of the people that watch this. Jenny views herself as damaged and keeps running from Forest because she wants to protect him from herself because he is so pure. We hear it from his perspective, so it doesn't make sense to him, but if she narrated it, it would be a very different movie and perspective.
Very well said.
Forrest isn't "retarded" he's a midway point between nonverbal and verbal autism. Drill Sergeant himself said he "must have an IQ of 160." I don't know if he was a genius but he isn't a moron, he has autism. As a fellow spectrum inhabitant, this is not so obvious. For people with undiagnosed autism (like kids or teens) this causes great confusion to a lot of us and we take it out on ourselves. So it would have been better if you just said something.
Also it's illegal to conscript someone with an IQ of lower than 83. This means in the film, Forrest Gump isn't even legally retarded.
I always got the impression that she thought she was too good him starting when she was going to sleep with him and he… well arrived early. She liked him as a friend and liked that he loved her so much but she didn’t think he was good enough until he was successful and she turned out sorta poor. Also I think she matured a lot when she was older and with her illness.
@@michaelvigil3436 that’s your projection. Forrest is the person she loves most in the world. She sees her self as dirty and not good enough for someone as pure as him. His purity makes her feel even worse about herself and reminds her of her faults. She’s wants to run away from all the pain of her childhood.
@@thexvault Do you even know what “projection” is? How is what I’m saying a projection of anything even if you think I’m wrong?
Your impression doesn’t explain why she didn’t reach out until she knew she was about to die.
If you liked Tom Hanks acting in this, then trust me, you'll like him in The Green Mile....
You should also consider watching "Sleepless in Seattle", "You've got mail" (both are entertaining comedies), "Cast Away", "Terminal" or if you like to see Tom Hanks in movies with a historical plot react to "Apollo 13", "That thing you do!", "Saving Private Ryan" or "Catch me if you can".
@@goldtown6747 What about the cinematic masterpiece, "Bachelor Party"? Or "Splash"?
Also "Turner and Hooch" is a good movie!
Heck yeah
His accent in Forrest Gump he actually took from the natural accent of the kid who played his younger self. Production staff tried to force the kid to hide his accent, but Hanks was against that and actually sat down with the kid and recorded the conversations they had. Then listened to the tapes and learned to speak like the kid.
I love how you caught the historical and musical references. A lot of young people don't. When watching this, the music always triggers memories of my own life, during the time those songs were released, and it feels like watching Forrest's life from my own perspective at the point in time the movie is portraying. A truly brilliant film that I thought would become dated, but apparently hasn't.
Well said.
Interestingly, the producers of the film thought there wouldn't be any way they could afford the copyright to all the film's iconic songs. They decided to use them for the temp-soundtrack and crossed their fingers the Studio would let them keep a few in. Upon seeing the movie, the Studio immediately told them to keep all of it.
A lot of young people are idiots.
@@justmeeagainn weren’t we all when we were young
And all those Vietnam songs are anti-war, yet they're always in movies about Nam 🤔
Forest Gump's iconic accent actually came about by accident. Originally the plan was for the actor who played Forest as a child would try and adopt a more neutral accent. But after weeks of trying to coach him, he just couldn't drop his distinctive southern drawl. So Tom Hanks proposed that instead of trying to make the kid talk him him, he'd just learn to talk like the kid instead. So he hung around with the kid and learned to pick up his accent and even leaned into it a little to make it part of the character.
It's one of the many reasons Tom Hanks is an acting god.
The dumb trivia people spew.
@@justmeeagainn As opposed to dumb people who just don't know any trivia?
@@justmeeagainn I found it interesting.
Very cool. I’ve seen this movie so many times and never knew that. Thx!😊
Jenny, being through such a traumatic childhood really messed her up and her self worth.She always thought Forrest deserved someone better than her, it took her having his child and getting herself together to finally feel good enough about herself to let Forrest in and let herself be actually loved.
As they say you can't love anyone else before you love yourself.
Ah no. She just waited until she was damaged goods and cought aids. No one else would touch her. All of a sudden, Forest looked mighty tasty. 🤣
i have known people (men and women both) and one way they get changed by the sexual abuse is thinking that sex is what they have to give. They get that they should measure their worth by sex. So it seems like Jenny was caught in this mental trap too, at least until the end of her life when she had a child to think about. Good call.
Jenny was garbage.
@@dannyspelman1468 what an ignorant comment to make. You actually took time to string together that trash and couldn’t even spell “caught” correctly.
I have such an obsession with Forrest Gump that I watch just about every reaction video with it.
Same here. I love it and love seeing people experience it for the first time.
HelloOoo Jenny
me too lol. This is the best movie of all time.This movie made me think deeper about things than any other. In fact it made me a better person in many ways. Nobody could ever play Forrest Gump other than Tom Hanks.
@@joshuadeloach1676 yeah, Hanks was perfection and deserved every award he got for this one.
Same...
When you recover emotionally add...The Green Mile...and Schindler's List....to your list.
Thanks for showing us all we are all the same...all human.
I’ve seen this movie so many times, and I still cry when Jenny dies. It’s simply a beautiful movie, and Tom Hanks deserved the Academy Award for Best Actor he received for the role. Thank you for being so intelligent and thoughtful in all your reactions. I always look forward to them.
And you’re right. The 60’s and 70’s was the most incredible period for music. Ever.
One of the most amazing things about this is the CGI they used for Gary Sinise (Lt. Dan)and the loss of his legs. It is very realistic.
Tom Hanks changed and honed his accent after hearing the actor who plays young Forest speak.
Jenny's problem is how she was used and abused, 1st by her father, then
by every man she met except Forrest. She felt like she was worth nothing
and was never going to be worth anything and would just bring Forrest
down with her , she had no idea how to love anyone. It wasn't until she
had little Forrest and was given one pure good thing in her life she was
able to find her self worth to a point and then accepted that she loved
Forrest and always had and it was OK to love someone and not expect them
to hurt her. It is very complicated and you get snippets of it in every
scene she is in. The first thing you see is all she knows how to do is
run from anything as she keeps telling Forrest to do , she doesn't know
any other way to deal with the pain and bad and it takes her so long to
finally figure it out ( unfortunately this is true for too many and some
never get to figure anything out) , Jenny deserves pity not hate , she
didn't know how to love until it was too late but she gave Forrest 2
gifts before she left, true love and what it feels like , and someone to
love and give his life meaning in Forrest Jr. . Forrest might not be a
genius but I would lay any bet he is an incredibly loving and good
father.
Please consider APOLLO 13 (1995) starring Tom Hanks, Gary Sinese, Bill Paxton, and Kevin Bacon
I love Apollo 13, it is most excellent!
I love your comments about the music. Fun fact: when Robert Zemekis asked to use these classic American songs in the movie they told him it would be too expensive. When he put together the cut for the studio he used the music he wanted. After that no one could imagine the movie without that music so they spent the money on it. Another Tom Hanks movie that's beautifully emotional was The Green Mile. I think you'd enjoy it.
Let's Get Together by The Youngbloods. This was an amazing soundtrack. Great pick! I love how much music resonates with you. It fills the soul :)
Thanks so much! Please check out PHILADELPHIA.. Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington 👌
Jenny's self destructive actions, attractiveness to bad men and rejection of good men is typical behavior of women who suffered severe childhood sexual abuse. It is called dysregulated behaviors. The fact that she eventually married Forest is a pretty good indication that she got a lot of successful therapy during those missing years.
Man most women turn out this way without sexual about. Ppl in red pill community talk about this all time
I don’t know, I always thought she decided to marry Forrest because she knew she was dying or at least very sick. She didn’t even tell him she had his son for years until she had this virus then “out of the blue” she writes a letter to Forrest and then she proposes to him.
@@michaelvigil3436 he was running for over 3 years. in the era before cell phones, and he had no permanent address that whole time, how was she supposed to tell him sooner?
@@williamrothschildakatheman8980 the red pill community just teaches men how to hate women and blame them for all the world's problems, especially for the ones inside themselves that can only be healed through introspection and self improvement. listening to them is a great way to make sure you stay lonely and bitter toward women forever.
@@angelalurtz3638 She could have wrote him a letter to his house in Alabama. Even if he didn’t go home for 3 years he would have gotten the letter as soon as he did. The point is that she didn’t even attempt to tell him, she had Forrest’s child in secret and only wrote to him when she got sick.
13:58 - The nice thing about Lt. Dan is that in this very moment he understands that they are mentally slow but instead of treating them like stupid he makes things simpler for them, he introduces them to the camp, he gives them very good advice (people find his obsession about feet funny, but wearing military boots all day in a humis place like Vietnam can rot your feet). Later Dan will be the only person Forrest allows to friendly call him idiot.
28:18 - "But don't you be thinking that I'm gonna be calling you sir", "Yes sir" (that's one of the most hilarious moments in the movie).
I really appreciate that you go with your emotions when a movie warrants it. Many reactor will hide or hold back. I actually cry with you sometimes. like you said, Shawshank and Forrest Gump are potent emotional experiences. Great reaction, stay awesome!
Director Robert Zemeckis was being interviewed one time by a critic who kept talking about the film's special effects and finally Zemeckis got irritated and said the movie's not about the special effects. So the critic asked Zemeckis what IS the movie about and Zemeckis said, "Forrest Gump is about grieving." I thought that was strange, but the more I thought about, I realized that fundamentally Forrest Gump is about grieving and loss, but it's also about healing and faith. But that's what attracted Zemeckis to the script and made him want to direct it. Grieving. Forrest grieves over and over but always gets through it with optimism.
There is a line of subtle comedy that I think is brilliant.
After Jenny says I'm sick, Forrest says Do you have a cough due to cold?
Cracks me up every time.
I giggle also! Lol
I have seen this movie a dozen times but I sat here and cried like a baby watching it through your eyes for the first time. You’re an amazing person G.
During the anti-war speech when the microphone was shut off 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.” -- The song they played when Jenny and Forrest walked away from the Black Panther Party was 1967s hit called Get Together by the Youngbloods -- A real favorite for the Hippie and Protest movement ua-cam.com/video/XRbTvoxRNxM/v-deo.html ---Jenny dosent believe she is good enough for Forrest -- She thinks she is taking advantage of his innocence like what happened to her when she was a child -- Jenny died of Hepatitis C -- probably from sharing needles when she was addicted --- She couldnt write to Forrest to tell him she was pregnant because he was running across the country ( no cell phones or internet because they were just beginning back then) In the end she gave him the greatest gift of all -- a son to love and a son to love him the rest of his days
I always thought Jenny died due to complications from AIDS/HIV.
@@dave0915 I did too but they said it was Hepatitis C- probably so that little Forrest had a better chance back then to not be born infected
@@kathleensmith3555 I understand the Hepatitis C reasoning, but I read this, I don't know to be honest "In 2019, Forrest Gump screenwriter Eric Roth confirmed that Jenny did certainly die from HIV/AIDS issues. During an interview (by way of Yahoo Entertainment) in regards to the movie’s twenty fifth anniversary, Roth mentioned the small print of a sequel that was cancelled after the 9/11 terrorist assaults in 2001"
That wasn’t his kid and she died of AIDS.
@@dave0915 The screenwriter said AIDS, the book author said Hep. C., the movie didn't specify, so it's up in the air.
Assuming it was still 1972, when Forrest paid $24,562.47 for the boat, with inflation, that would amount to $166,716.88 today. He paid that much for that rackety boat.
Tom Hanks is one of the greatest actors of our time. If you want to see him in a comedy, I recommend "The 'Burbs" from 1989. Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) plays his wife.
comedy Tom Hanks I recommend Splash, Big, Money Pit, and That Thing You Do
22:06 The Youngbloods - Get Together
Your next Tom Hanks film should be The Green Mile.
Hi. I just discovered your channel. Great reaction.
Jenny is one of the most misunderstood characters in film. She always loved Forrest but she was fighting her demons. She couldn't stay with him for fear of destroying his life as well. She spent many more years running than Forrest ever did, but it took a very long time to leave her past behind.
As far as the end, Jenny needed to marry Forrest. Little Forrest was his and if she died a single Mom he would have gone into the system. By marrying Forrest she insured he stayed with his Dad.
Anyway, like I said, great reaction and you've got yourself a new subscriber. 😉
Hey Isabel! Jenny was never really a "Bad" person to me. I think the people who hate Jenny should really direct the Monster label toward her abusive father instead of Jenny herself. And I think Jenny and Forrest having pretty different paths in their lives helps make this story so good! Overall, this movie is just very inspirational for me, and I also quote it all the time! And 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 also just wanted to mention that Last Year, I actually posted a video on my UA-cam channel that was 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 try and create something unique.
If you have a few minutes sometime and are interested, here is a link to the video: ua-cam.com/video/Or-sIiNANYg/v-deo.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! I hope you Have a great day today, Isabel! And please stay safe too! :)
Killer soundtrack. I remember it was a double cd and cost too much for me to afford at the time.
The part of Andy in Shawshank was written for Tom Hanks. However, Hanks already started shooting Forrest Gump so had to turn it down.
Which is why he got cast in The Green Mile. It was a favor/promise from the director of both SR and TGM, Frank Darabont.
Forrest's run:
I think he ran because he had to do something. He couldn't find Jenny, he couldn't work out why she left, he couldn't handle the silence of her absence. So running gave him something to do, as if he was doing SOMETHING.
It's like when the pandemic first hit. People were freaked out, didn't know what to do. So they went to the stores and started stocking up. There wasn't anything they COULD do, but they felt out of control, so hoarding food, water, and toilet paper felt like they were taking control. Forrest needed to do something, so he ran. And the running kept him occupied, so he kept on running. The running stood between him and the turmoil of his own emotions. Eventually, the pain settled and he didn't need the running to keep him occupied. So he finally was able to go back to his regular life.
Jenny's issues:
Jenny and her sisters were constantly molested by their father. Jenny learned she had no worth outside of sexual exploitation. Her early molestation made her hyper-sexualized at a young age, so she felt sex was a basis for all relationships. The fact that she had physically-abusive relationships one after the other suggests she was physically as well as sexually abused by her father.
People who suffer abuse end up with low self-esteem; they feel they don't deserve anything better. They also come to expect abuse as a basic component of any relationship. As a result, an absence of abuse is very unsettling. On the one hand, lack of abuse feels 'unnatural'; on the other hand, an unabusive relationship is what the person so dearly wants that they don't trust it being real or being stable, in which case better to not have what you dearly want than to get it and lose it. Either way, the person gets a little freaked out by the lack of abuse.
Abused people live in hurt. They sort of welcome the abuse because they don't feel they deserve better. When they don't have the abuse, they ache for a relationship (expecting it comes with violence) or something better that they don't feel they deserve. Being abused means even when you're in a relationship, you're alone and isolated. And when you're alone, your memories of the early abuse (like with Jenny's father) come back to haunt you. So you self-medicate; you try to numb yourself with drugs. It doesn't work. It never works.
Jenny came back to stay with Forrest because she needed a safe harbor, to finally sort things out. She probably would have stayed, but then he asked her to marry him. And she still couldn't work up the trust that things would work out; she couldn't reconcile her belief that she wasn't worth it, that she didn't deserve Forrest. She gave herself to Forrest that night, because it's the only currency she knows. And because there wasn't so much at stake since she already had decided she was leaving. People oftentimes relent with what they've held back and are generous once they decide it's over, like it's a parting gift.
When Jenny became pregnant with Forrest's child, she got her life together. She sobered up, got stable, dedicated herself to that child. Then she found out she was dying. She had to make arrangements for her son. So she contacted Forrest. Facing death, there was nothing to do but hope it would work out. She felt she had no choices left.
Note that Jenny as a child would pray for God to change her into a bird so she could fly far far away. Every time things got too intense for her, she would find a precipice and consider jumping. The song playing when she climbed up on the edge of that balcony was Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird". Note also that when Jenny pulled Forrest into the cornfield to pray, a flock of birds took off next to her. When Forrest walks back from Jenny's grave, a flock of birds take off between him and Jenny's grave. Note that when Forrest spoke to Jenny at her grave, he mentions destiny and chance, that sometimes we float around on the breeze; then remember the feather that floated to him as he sat on the bus stop bench and flew away at the school bus stop bench. Jenny and Forrest were destined for each other, but she ended up floating in and out of his life like a lost feather in the wind. They were destined, because every time Jenny floated out, their paths would always cross again. Forrest was always her home.
Well said!
94 was the pinnacle of cinema in my humble opinion...just been down hill since. Shawshank and Forrest is my childhood. Movies were on tv every weekend growing up. Glad those two stand out to you because they are my two favorite movies. (Shawshank should have won the Oscar...but can't be too mad lol)
The 90’s made the best movies and television shows ever.
I've never enjoyed a Forrest Gump reaction more!! George, you are a great reactor -- you're smart and thoughtful. Thank you!! 🤩
Isn’t it a wonderful movie?! One of my favorites. The story, the acting, the music, the characters, the real people….just amazing work. Loved your reaction. It was hard to blame Jenny. Once you’re sexually abused you don’t feel worthy and she sought destructive men to be with. She didn’t fell worthy to be loved. I’m so glad she saw the truth at the end. Good reaction CU. 😀
Following this movie, Gary Sinise (Lt. Dan) became very active in working to help American veterans, he has received awards from the Pentagon for his humanitarian work.
You have to watch The Green Mile. Based on the novel by Stephen King just like The Shawshank Redemption. It's every bit as good!
Have you seen "Signs"? After "The Sixth Sense" last week, I was hoping for another Shyamalan film, but maybe you've already seen that one.
As someone from Alabama, it warms my heart to see people from all over the world fall in love with our favorite movie down here.
One thing I wanted to add that a lot of people might not catch: the football coach that he runs past in the beginning of the movie is Paul "Bear" Bryant, who was the coach for the University of Alabama football team and who is extremely well known to this day down here. The black and white checkered hat was a trademark and Houndstooth is still worn when we support the team.
Alabama as a state doesn't have any professional teams, but we love American football, so we support the local amateur players in the same way the Europeans support their local lower-division clubs
This is one of my top 5 all time favorite movies. The best!! Great reaction!
It's not a big deal now but we were blown away by the computer effects, from inserting Forrest into historical footage to removing Lt. Dan's legs.
The scene with Lt. Dan on the Dock always gets me and for some reason, it reminds me of the ending of Shawshank Redemption. I guess it's two friends finding each other after going through so much together.
If you liked the music in this, you should check out Almost Famous... focused on the 70's, but I'm sure you'll hear lots of songs you like... and a good story to boot.
For a wider range of music, there's an old 'animated' movie you could give a go... American Pop.
Directed by Ralph Bakshi, who made an animated Lord Of The Rings in 1978... or half of lord of the rings :-D
Almost Famous is an underrated masterpiece.
man that "is he smart" line always makes me cry
What a performance by Tom Hanks, he richly deserved the Oscar for this amazing role. Great reaction, George, I really appreciate how you feel about this truly wonderful film. I love that quote 'life is like a chocolate box, you never know what you're gonna get!'. All the best.
I retired from the VA a few years ago. A Dr. I worked with (he was a little older than me) said he saw this Movie at the Theater. He said when the credits started rolling at the end the whole audience was silent. Then everyone stood up, and started clapping. He said that was the only time in his life that happened at the end of a movie he saw. Signs of a great Movie for sure.
40:30 fun fact:Hanks got the voice from the boy who played young forest. Hanks said he would record the little boy and him just having conversations for hours and would play them back to himself so that he would get not only the accent right but the way he talked right.... that's dedication
The Green Mile. The Green Mile... Will Break You!!! Yet Another MASTERPIECE Staring Tom Hanks.
It is so refreshing to listen to a reactor who knows history, sees the complexities and nuances in characters, and understands them. It’s just great and not the norm on most reaction channels. Yet he hasn’t posted in 6 months … I hope he will soon. But I don’t think he understood that Jenny knew only one thing…to run. Her childhood abuse physical and sexual impacted her whole life. She ran from life. It’s why she told Forrest to run - “Run Forrest run!” and the reason for her misguided and often dangerous choices in life. And the virus she had was AIDs. Only a man as pure and beautiful as Forrest could love her so unconditionally. But overall, this was another super reaction!
And he has great taste in music!!
There are many film I love, but this is my absolute favorite. I’ve seen it so many times ❤️
George, You did such a good job editing this to show the most pivotal parts of the movie. It must have taken you a long time. It really was an emotional rollercoaster. I have watched this in it's entirety probably 3 or 4 times and I feel like I just watched the whole thing over again. It breaks me every time. I end up with tears streaming down my face. Music gets us all through our lives and I'm so pleased that you have it in you now too.
Hey Tammie! Forrest Gump is absolutely one of My Top 5 favorite movies! Whenever I watch Forrest Gump, I just find that it is SO engaging and well-acted that it feels like it is a quick watch even though the movie is almost 2 1/2 hours long! And despite it being a fictional story, I still find it to be very inspirational, and it has moments that I think most people can relate to on an emotional level. Also, my brother actually has Autism, which helps me connect with this movie even more (I know Forrest Gump did not have Autism, but him and my brother can relate a bit in that they are both disabled).
I really believe in what you say in your comment here. That "Music gets us all through our lives." For that reason, I also just wanted to let you know that Last Year, I actually posted a video on my UA-cam channel that was almost like a tribute video to Forrest Gump (though I called it a Mashup).

@@ollie511 My goodness, You'd better believe I'm going to watch that video! You seem to have such a huge heart. I understand autism more than I ever could have imagined. My dear friend has a grandson who is 7 yrs. old and is on the severe spectrum. It's heartwrenching. It can break you. I don't imagine your brother is on that end of the spectrum, being compared to Forrest Gump's character. It still touches your life in ways people will never understand unless they've either walked in those shoes or are as close as you are. I'm so glad you read my comment and that you commented back. It's actually my bedtime and I'm listening to Carly Simon. I'm going to get my husband off to work in the morning and then I'm going straight to your video. If you get my message tonight, I hope you rest well. Again, Thank you! Tammie

You are a beautiful soul! Tammie
I love that you are hitting all of my favorites. Some of the best movies that hit all of the buttons. Cant wait for you to do a reaction to The Game (1997) and The Green Mile.
You're the first person I know of, other than myself of course 🤣, to notice his wife was Vietnamese, I think it was a lovely touch to show how he really had moved on from the war.
What I love about Tom Hanks is he based his accent on the actor who played him as a child. Also,thanks for your vulnerability in your reaction 😊
The deepest moment for me is seeing Lieutenant Dan’s transformation. Got his legs back and married an Asian woman. Don’t forget he fought in Nam. Huge transformation.
The football coach was the legendary Bear Bryant. A REALLY big name in college football. So it was like another Elvis moment when Forrest played for him.
Jenny Curran ( Robin Wright ) was also pretty good in The Princess Bride, a bit more of a sophomoric film, but cute and watchable if you have not seen it. Also Stars Cary Elwes , Mandy Patinkin, Fred Savage, Peter Falk, heck even Andre The Giant. Maybe give it a go someday.
Lame ass film…if you’re a chick I get it…but as a man this isn’t my kind of film…it’s a chick flick
@@mr.smithgnrsmith7808 Well I must be a chick ‘cause I love it.
@@rickardroach9075 I know of a ton of men that love The Princess Bride. It may not be for everyone, but for the previous poster to just toss out a blanket statement...well, it says a lot about him, I suppose 🥴
The way you cut the movie is just perfect! Great job and reaction. This is one of the best movies. ❤️
Now, imagine watching this in the Theatre back in 1994. There wasn’t a dry eye in the absolutely packed theatre.
Great Reaction ---Green Mile--The Pianist---Schindlers List --Bucket List---Glory--Green Book--Hidden Figures--In the name of the father--Jerry Maguire--Law-abiding Citizen--Mrs Doubtfire--Only the Brave --Pacific Heights---Roman Holiday---The accountant--The Departed--The Hand that Rocks the cradle and many more
33:29 IMO the reason why he ran. Was he couldn't describe or understand what he was feeling of Jenny leaving him. The only way he could express it, was to run. And he kinda figured that out, when he remembered what his mom told him about the past.
Thats the way I look at it.
Your reaction is perfect! The music the history the story itself tells a lot about the age. Glad to enjoy this with you.
Top 5 movie of all time!!! Such a Great movie:)
George. You are correct. That is the kid from The Sixth Sense and the music in this movie is very good. I really liked it when Bubba kept talking about shrimp. LOL
This was great thanks! One of the best movies ever made. And you're right - one of the best acting performances ever. The guy on the stage in the American flag shirt was Lenny Bruce.
The song you asked about was "Get Together" by the Youngbloods (1967) one of my favorites, the soundtrack was so reminiscent of my youth.
A pleasure to re-watch a masterpiece through your eyes. I remember when it first came out in theaters. Not a dry eye in the house. Huzzah.
Forrest Gump not only outshined the shawshank redemption that year it also outshined pulp fiction!
I love the seamless transition between Forrest telling the story and the present. You almost don't notice it happening.
You're right, it's so true - THE MUSIC IN THIS MOVIE IS DAMN EPIC. 💜
This is my favorite movie of all time!! I so enjoyed watching your reaction, it was very genuine!! Much love from Kentucky, USA🇺🇸
The next movie you need to see is The Green mile! The books- Shawshank Redemption, and The Green Mile were both written by Stephen King, a brilliant master storyteller! And Tom Hanks is in it too!💕💕
60’s and 70’s rock and roll. The house that Elvis built. Always good.
I don't care what anyone says tom hanks is one of the greatest actors of all time
Whenever I see someone has reacted to this it’s an auto watch!!!! This one is an emotional rollercoaster. You did great as a reactor
Remember this was the early 90s, the special effects were groundbreaking for the times. Titanic, with it’s effects, followed shortly after.
I'm glad that you mentioned the soundtrack. I've watched a few reactions to this movie, and haven't seen anyone mention it, yet it's a very important part of the film. The soundtrack in this film is effectively another character.
Great reaction. Great mix of scene choices, observations, and quiet. I cry the most when Forrest asks if little Forrest is smart... Great acting.
@ 15:45 I seem to recall seeing you and maybe your brother do music reactions a couple of years ago. If true I watched a lot of yours and very glad you did all that music first, before watching Gump. If that's not the case, it's still so cool you know all this music that I grew up with! All the music clips fit the timeline of events in the movie pretty well. Whatever music you're looking for is on the end credits of most movies and listed in the order they occur in the movies. I know someone told you the name of the song you asked about, but if there are any others look for them there.
@ 24:16 The scene you watched here of Gump and Dan crossing the street and Lt. Dan beating the car hood yelling "I'm walking here!!..." is a reenactment of a very memorable scene in a popular movie called "Midnight Cowboy" (1969) with that theme music in it "Everybody's Talkin' " by Harry Nilsson. It was funny in Gump here because in Midnight Cowboy the guy had a bad leg and limped, but could walk all while that music was playing. It's a movie you should check out sometime. Another cult film of the era with 60s music is "Easy Rider" (1969) starring a guy you're familiar with, Jack Nicholson and the role that made him real popular.
A couple of Tom Hanks movie suggestions that should get a lot of views, "Apollo 13" (1995) based on the true events, and "Saving Private Ryan" (1998). ✌ 😎
The green mile is definitely a must watch. Love Tom hanks
Gary Sinise (Lt. Dan) is a huge supporter of veterans bc of this movie.
Someone probably answered already, but the song you wanted to know about was called "Get Together" by The Youngbloods, from 1967. Sometimes it's titled "Let's Get Together" but more often, it's "Get Together".
22:08 - 'Let's Get Together' by The Youngbloods.
If you're curious about special effects, it's mostly CGI. In the kennedy scene I think Kennedy was actually added. For Lt. Dan's legs it was blue screen, he was wearing shorts with blue socks and then they remade the background in CGI. The youtube channel Corridor Crew VFX covers almost all the scenes in different videos.
The music from that movie soundtrack is so timeless and amazing.
My father is a Vietnam Vet...he has all the albums from those songs from this movie...each and every one of them...I hear them all the time now on his old Album player and I even bought them as CDs.
I love music and I hear music from the 1960's/1970's/1980's/1990's)
I'm very eclectic with my music taste...but there is something incredible about the music from the late 60's and early 70's that is out of this world extraordinary.
I'm a new subscriber, I love your reactions and you have wonderful taste for music...I'm a old soul myself.
Hello from Tucson Arizona in America.
The song you wanted to know about is called "Get Together" and it is by a group called The Youngbloods. It is a great song, one of the best of the peace/love/brotherhood songs from that era. You and your brother should definitely react to that one.
Forrest Gump is arguably the best movie of all time. I love it and go through every emotion every time even though I know exactly what’s going to happen.
Love that you noticed the music. I remember when it came out everyone had the soundtrack it was fantastic.
Your Forrest Gump Reaction is the most perfectly edited one I have seen and I have seen a lot. In fact, most of the time.when I should be doing something more important, I lie around watching Forrest Gump and Shawshank reactions. They remind me how precious my life is. Then I get up and get back to work.
Hey Robert! Forrest Gump is a movie I have returned back to many times! I just feel like the whole movie is such a Journey! Tom Hanks is absolutely brilliant, and Forrest had SUCH a pure heart! He showed the upmost loyalty to those closest to him, and I think that is something we can all admire and try to apply to our own lives! The movie is just very inspirational for me Overall, and also, my brother has Autism, which helps me connect with it even more (I know Forrest did not have Autism, but him and my brother can relate a bit in that they are both disabled).
I also just wanted to mention that Last Year, I actually posted a video on my UA-cam channel that was 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 try and create something unique.
If you have a few minutes sometime and are interested, here is a link to that video: ua-cam.com/video/Or-sIiNANYg/v-deo.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! I hope you Have a great day today, Robert! And please stay safe too! :)
I really like your music reaction channel. You’re the one on the left that is always into the lyrics and vocals, right? Great reaction here to one of my favorite movies, not many non-Americans catch all of the cultural and historical references. Jenny was an incredibly complex character. Her understanding of love was completely distorted due to her childhood abuse, leading to her troubled relationships later.
This is by far (by *far*) the best reaction to this movie I have seen. You're a very intelligent and in-tune chap!
"Get Together" by The Youngbloods, is the song that you questioned during the movie.
Gary Sinise the actor who played Lt. Dan, went on to form a band called Lt. Dan Band they do shows to entertain the troops and the money they make is used to support disabled veterans.
It doesn’t matter how many times I watch this beautiful movie, it gets me every time. Thank you for your reaction 👑
Forrest's running for no reason is meant to imply that he started the jogging craze.
Probably one of the best soundtracks of any movie I've ever seen
Great reaction! You are one of the best reactors on UA-cam. More intelligent and insightful than most.
George, I love your music and movie reviews in general, but was thrilled when I came across this _knowing_ you would know the music and couldn't wait to see the recognition on your face... and the bonus of you singing along.
Fantastic review and very glad others pointed out the "Run, Forrest, run!" that Jenny said from the beginning is what she was saying to herself. She was trying to run from the pain, in all the ways one can avoid inner pain.
She did not tell Forrest about their son because he was running for those 3+ years. When she saw him on TV, that might have been when she wrote Forrest about coming to see her; he was still not finished running, however. Forrest got to her as soon as he could.
If you watch this again, notice all the feather references besides the white feather (a pure Jenny), there are birds flying in and out of their tree in Alabama, the constant references to flying... it was always Jenny flying away until she was buried under the tree, then a flock of birds comes home, representing Jenny's finally being at home now, too. She was at peace, finally, under their tree.
It's funny. Both Forrest and Jenny spent their lives running and seeking love. In the end, they found the love they always wanted, right back home where they started.
He was "just runnin" lol
It was def a defense mechanism
Jenny marrying Forest was a smart legal move because he would not have gotten custody of Jr. without that happening.
Jenny was at a peace rally when Forrest spoke in his military uniform at the rally.
We're on a roll with Tom Hanks & Gary Sinise (Lt. Dan) are in APOLLO 13 💚
22:07 That song is Get Together by the Youngbloods. Always loved it.
94 was a good yr for movies. Shawshank came out in 94 too.
I just discovered your channel. Your reactions are great and very heart warming. When this movie came out, my life was in shambles and I would go to the matinee and watch this movie over and over again. For a few hours a day I was transported from the darkness of my reality to such an innocent heart of Forrest. This movie helped me beyond words. Living my life with gratitude now.
