Taking care of your feet mean't that you should wash your feet, shoes and socks as often as you can, and dry them real good. Otherwise you could end up with trench feet, real nasty stuff.
My father felt like LT Dan did when he came home, he had his knee cap shot through and was unable to keep going in the army. He felt like his title and everything he was working towards was gone. (he was a good man who struggled) It wasn't till my mother said to him you're still that man. People will always remember you for that. So does your family. That he felt better about himself.
@@mango-eb8yo This scene came after the storm, I believe what you see is the storm front actually retreating. I think it was more to represent he was free from his own burdens. That being said, you may be able to claim he didn't expect to survive the storm with the ship when they were out there beforehand, and him surviving was a sign that he took that he needs to live on.
I liked this character development. LT felt he lost everything: his career, self respect, honor, and his sense of purpose. I've always believed he stuck with Gump, because he's probably the only man that still respects him as an officer and his CO (commanding officer)
True story. I believe he stuck with them because he was familiar. Veterans tend to stick together and you're even closer to the people you are in it with.
@@dozenofdozensyeah it’s more that he was so conflicted within himself that it didn’t really matter what anyone else thought. He became his own worst enemy, but then God got tagged in and gave him a gracious smack down of humility.
To regain hope after all that Lt Dan went thru, now that's truly a great feeling. I broke my spine at 27, thought my life was over, it was.. But today, i have HOPE again. Agony turns to simple discomfort over the years.... And I won't give up. and that's a feeling I thank God for. " We all have a destiny , nothing just happens " - Lt Dan.

Berend Kunstman well yea obviously he didn’t he was trying to kill himself and could’ve killed the other injured survivors with the napalm strike if it wasn’t for Forest going back and saving everyone
he was probably morphed out his mind back in the infirmary. at that point, either Dan's platoon sgt, XO (if he had a second) or the company command would have taken over such duties until Dan was replaced.

Lt Dan always seemed like a leader I would want to work for. He was likeable, he set clear expectations and didn’t over complicate things. And he wasn’t afraid to fight right alongside his men.

Gump showed Dan basically what it was to live. He gave him a second chance at life beyond his limits. Ultimately he is thanked by Dan and makes his peace.
Lt. Dans arc is so real to me. Even before I knew it. My back problems put a stop to my gym bodybuilding passion. I was great, now I'm just average. Gotten a bit overweight. Have bad sleep due to inflammation and pain (before I slept like a baby). And overall felt like shit for 1.5 years. I really wanted to end it all. I had no love interests, no passions, except gym through my 17-22 yo. Now I'm 24 and went through all stages of 5 stages of grief (you may find it laughable, but if you have one strong passion in life, and suddenly ripped off of it, you'll understand. I got up at 5 am to go to the gym. I was doing it 6 times a week.). And just like Lt. Dan I've come to terms with it. And it feels like I found another passion in life - programming. I loved maths in school and Uni, and always liked logical stuff. Programming is what I do all of my free time. Sure I can't do bodybuilding anymore. But life moves on. As did Lt. Dan. As did I. If you feel like shit, and want to take the final decision - trust me. You always can do it, just say: I can always do it tomorrow. And tomorrow say the same. Move day by day. Week by week. Seek passion. And you'll prevail.
IKG: Hello, do you know of Dr Joe Dispenza's unexpected self-healing from incurable spine harm? Maybe we can, too!

It was much worse for Vietnam unfortunately. The same people who wanted our soldiers home, were the same ones who cursed and spit on them when they did return home
Oh please. Sure one or two were spit on, but people make it sound like the worst thing in the world. Didn’t we drop more bombs on Vietnam than all the bombs dropped in Europe in WWII combined? Saliva doesn’t kill.
I mean, they did kill a lot of innocent people over there, not to mention the worst of it, they used that orange stuff and people for decades after suffered from it in Vietnam.
It made me tear up a bit when I realized that Forrest also knew what it was like to not use his legs. As a child, he used to wear leg braces to help his question mark-shaped spine.
I grew up for years always hearing about what great movie Forrest Gump was, just kinda shrugged it off and never made an effort to watch it. Finally I sat down and experienced this masterpiece. Easily one of my top 10 movies of all time.
Completely agree i watched it when i was a kid but when i watched it when i could fully understand what’s happening I noticed how amazing the movie actually is , its in my top 10 also
Gary Sinise is a wonderful person in real life. He visited Osan AB, South Korea with his band (The LT. Dan Band) and took some of us out for drinks right afterwards. Wonderful human being and a damn funny person.
It was part of his character. When he was a kid he wore leg braces because he had weak bones. He also had some form of learning disability. He got stronger and overcame his physical disability. He can carry people cause he can run quite well at that point. His learning disability made him a bit literal and child-like in thinking but helped him become good at stuff like Ping pong and made him famous etc. He doesn't overcome the learning disability but we see him grow through it. Later in the movie he runs the entire US coast to coast a few times. (in case you haven't watched it yet) It's a movie about overcoming your disadvantages. Great movie. =)
Definitely one of the most beautifully written characters to ever been written coupled w a great execution. Such a complex n brilliant masterpiece of a character
Lt. Dan may not have thanked Gump for saving his life, but he sure showed it in the last scene of the vid here; by swimming away like that smiling for Forest to see was the only true "thank you" he could given to Gump and a nice one at that...
This movie brings up a lot of emotions in me for some reason. I wish I could erase my memory of this and watch it again like I have never seen it before. When he says goodbye to Jenny I get pretty misty.
McNamara’s morons had an IQ between 85 & 80. Forrest was below 80. The morons were shown to be worse than useless as it took more effort and men to mind them than they provided help. Some were useful in cleaning or cooking situations, but they were very dangerous in combat, as they were as likely to kill their own men as the enemy. Forrest, because he never thought about using his gun, was not that dangerous. He was also actually not a moron, as he could remember and obey simple orders, which is more than the morons could.
Lt Dan is not the only or best character development in the movie, Jenny’s growth and overcome of abuse and trauma is one of the most beautiful and tragic things the movie offers
nah, the people who became cops are the bullies who chased forest in a truck at the beginning of the movie. They lived out their dreams of getting paid to bully and harass people with their cool license to murder badge and gun
Lt Dan recovered and kept leading and helping and protecting his soldier Forrest as time went on. "He got me involved with some fruit company, and we don't gotta worry about money no more..." Thanks LT Dan for leading.
This movie don't have the depth of Kubrick, the charisma of Scorsese or the vision like Nolan. Yet it touches our raw emotions with its sheer simplicity and storytelling. It is like your mom is telling a fairytale while the child you is half asleep dreaming about the story. Its marvellous.
@@entertainme7523 Nolan is one of the greatest of our times, just like Kubrick, Hitchcock, Scorsese of their times. Drawing comparison as to who is best is a vain exercise at best brother. People say Oh but Nolan is too stuck with one theme. So was Scorsese, with his mob and crime drama theme.
Fighting for the American dream on all fronts. Overcoming despair and residing in hope for your neighbor. This is by far my most favorite inspiring movie! These actors deserve a Oscar for its brilliant performance!

When I saw 'Lt. Dan' swing his legs around to go into the water, I actually wondered if Gary Sinise was missing his lower legs! That was superb special effects! 😍😍 Later watching UA-cam videos on the making of "Forrest Gump", I realized that was just one of many awesome special effects!
Just realized Ltn. Dan broke both his own rules. He never looked after his feet, and he tried to get himself killed.
How didn’t he look after his feet? It wasn’t his fault his legs were amputated
He did try to get himself killed though
Whoa!!! Your right. Your a smarty. Never thought about that at all but you think we would have noticed.
Trump 72' took Lt. Dan's advice ,couldn't serve cause Bonespurs, sent "Forrest" instead.

When he said "I never thanked you for saving my life" and he jumps off the boat, I thought he was committing suicide. Glad that wasn't it XD
Funny thing tho is watching this as a kid and not thinking "he still didn't thank him". I just thought the scene was weirdly beautiful.

No, so he could become a Morlock
@@untilitookanarrow lol ok npc
My dad was a cop he died during the attacks on 9/11 he saved 9 people before he was crushed by falling debris. All cops aren’t bad.
@@80sman986, one bad cop destroys the entire police service. there is a lot more than ONE bad cop!
Except for 1812, Mexican American war, Spanish American War, Indian Wars, and Korea and any others I might have forgotten in history class.
Gump was stupidly smart but was brave enough to save both his friends
One of the greatest movies of all time.
2:41 Even Lt. Dan came to watch me play. Lt. Dan staring into space.
i gotta find bubbaaa!!
0:58 My main rule for life.
Lt Dan recovered and kept leading and helping and protecting his soldier Forrest as time went on. "He got me involved with some fruit company, and we don't gotta worry about money no more..." Thanks LT Dan for leading.
0:19 I can't help but laugh
The last one be like...
👁️👄👁️
Awesome film with a fantastic soundtrack... Hanks best film.. green Mile too
Okay and castaway..
"I GOTTA FIND BUBBAAAAAA!"
😭
No I didn't thought it was nice when leutenant Dan said . " Don't ever call him stupid" a true friend
This movie don't have the depth of Kubrick, the charisma of Scorsese or the vision like Nolan. Yet it touches our raw emotions with its sheer simplicity and storytelling. It is like your mom is telling a fairytale while the child you is half asleep dreaming about the story. Its marvellous.
Did you really just put Nolan in the same group as Kubrick and Scorsese?
@@entertainme7523 Nolan is one of the greatest of our times, just like Kubrick, Hitchcock, Scorsese of their times. Drawing comparison as to who is best is a vain exercise at best brother. People say Oh but Nolan is too stuck with one theme. So was Scorsese, with his mob and crime drama theme.
Yeah tom hanks ...great actor great movie
Poor Lt. Dan :(
Lt. Dan I got you some ice cream
Lt. Dan Ice Creaaaaam

Fighting for the American dream on all fronts. Overcoming despair and residing in hope for your neighbor. This is by far my most favorite inspiring movie! These actors deserve a Oscar for its brilliant performance!
would you fight for your country today? under the ruling of Donald The Traitor Dictator?
@@zuestoots5176 the irony of your post is borderline comical. You talk of him being a dictator while you freely post your opinions on a public forum of the internet with no repercussions
@@zuestoots5176 A very interesting opinion you have, however. To answer the question on would i fight for my country today, I would. If not for my country\president, but my fellow brother in uniform at the very least. Who i know is just as afraid of death as i am. Its the one thing all humans of war can relate to.
Honestly this movie is one of the best movie I ever see in TV
When I graduated BT the Lt.Dan band came to play at a bar on base. Pretty cool to meet Gary haha
Squidward and Spongebob Real Life
Movie: Died in Every Single American War
Also movie: *Forgets Korean*
Well his daddy died in ww2 so maybe no one was there to fill the gap
Seems like everyone forgets about the Korean war why do you think people call it the forgotten war.
*gets shot in the buttocks*
"AHHH! Something bit meh!"
Gary should have landed the biggest roles after this won all the awards
Sgt Sam is the true hero of the film, we just dont see his side of this wonderful story
I cried when gump asking jenny about his son 'condition'
No nonsense around Lt Dan !!
I forgot how good this movie was.
Poor lootainant Dang, he was so devoted, and he had his destiny ((
LMAO "Lootainant Dang"
@@USMCLP Forrest pronounced just this way)
One of the best "classic" movies of all time.
He never said so, but i think he made his peace with god. Powerful. When i think or hear about this movie thats the scene i remember fondly.
There are simply not enough superlatives to describe this movie.
When I saw 'Lt. Dan' swing his legs around to go into the water, I actually wondered if Gary Sinise was missing his lower legs! That was superb special effects! 😍😍 Later watching UA-cam videos on the making of "Forrest Gump", I realized that was just one of many awesome special effects!
One of my favourite characters, ever.
Great scenes! Sinese nailed it!👏
