As an American from the South, I can honestly say that the most accurate part of this movie is that we will sit next to a complete stranger and end up telling our life story. I've done it to two people in the past month, and it's happened to me at least five times.
Part of the southern charm. Thanks for posting.
I wouldn't have met half the interesting people that I have met keeping to myself.
Southern charm. Please never loose it sir
As someone who lives in the northeast. We would stopped you before u started. We are some get to the point ppl here. We don't wanna hear a story starting when u were a twinkle in you're father's eye
So true.
According to Tom Hanks, Forrest’s speech was as follows:
“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.”
You cut out arguably the best/sweetest line, where Forrest says (about his son, when first meeting him), "Is his smart or is he like..." and points to himself. He's immediately concerned for his child and wants him to be as smart as possible, which in the end absolutely doesn't matter if he's even half the kind, genuine, honest man his father is.
forrest would have loved him either way.... but he knows from his own experience, it makes life more difficult, and he just wants his son to be happy.. and have a good life...
It’s one of the rare moments Forrest lets on that he is self aware and just how painful it is and how aware he is of his struggles. It’s a testament to his mother’s love in how she taught and raised him, it’s a testament of his pureness and determination, his perseverance that he doesn’t let it appear to bother him, rather he chooses to press forward. But in the moment when it crossed his mind that someone else might have to go through life and experience the hardship that he has, it stung in the worst way.
This is why the movie won the Oscar for the picture of the year... it tugged at our emotions and was very well written.
Bubba saying “I wanna go home” will live with me forever. I still remember watching it for the first time and being heartbroken for days thinking about that scene
I don't know why I keep watching these Gump movie reactions. No matter what, I tear up every time.
Ditto.
Gosh girls, had me all emotional. As a single dad of 3 amazing daughters, losing my mom recently to cancer and going through some pre-court stuff fighting for custody of my daughters I’ve come to realize life has its ups and downs , truly but if you step back as rough as it is, there’s beauty in your life and an unknown happiness ahead. Life’s been rough lately but I’d do every bit of rough over a million times to have an extra day with my daughters, they’re the light in my life regardless of what happens they always light my way with Love. ❤️❤️❤️ missing them like crazy tonight so Thankyou for the happy video. 💜
I wish the best for you and your family ❤️❤️❤️
This is the sweetest comment I've ever read..
I envy over the thought. Of having loving kids of my own
Forrest Gump one of those movies that always hits so hard and always makes you cry no matter how many times you watch it 💔 Forrest lost his mom, his best friend and the love of his life just like that and in the middle of all the pain he always found a way to make it through it
The love story between Forrest and Jenny was symbolic of the Bible story of Hosea. Forrest would be Hosea and Jenny would be Gomer.
The reason for Jenny always leaving, wasn't because of her lack of loving Forrest, but because she loved hom so much. Because of her traumatic growing up with her father, she probably felt she never deserved Forrest's love and thought she would just disappoint him. Her trauma would also explain her doing drugs and searching/traveling for something and not realizing the answer was Forrest.
Jenny ran because her shit father molested her. All she did was run. But Forest was always there for her. She didn't think she deserved Forest. That's what can happen to people who go through things like that. They think there garbage and broken and deserve nothing. I wish people would stop ripping on her.
Or, much more likely, that she found that life exciting & found him boring.
@@Wesleech No, she prefers more exciting men & a more enjoyable life than she'd have with him. Nice guys are routinely rejected, and it's not because they're 'too good'.
Jenny was smart enough to know better. She used a mentally challenged man for an emotional support blanket knowing full well the damage she was doing to his psyche. She was a self centered junkie who kept a man's son from him until she needed his house as hospice and Forrest to suddenly be a full time dad. (Get a DNA test Forrest.)
Jenny is for the streets
@@Empty12345 He's her safety net, her boring nice guy to turn to when she's ill & has had enough excitement.
When I saw the title and it was a GROUP REACTION, I said, "Ohhh Noooo! They dont have enough tissue paper for ALL 4 of them!!!!!"
Doesnt matter how many times they've seen it... They will cry.
“Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get” love this movie a lot
Life is like a box of chocolates. You hope your daughter doesn’t bring home a black one
As you get older those words seem to be very real and true...when you are only a 12 years old when this movie came out in 1993...even as a kid you loved this classic movie, but at that young tender age those words just don't compute or process at that young age until you hit 40.
Then you realize his momma was telling the truth...Life is like a box of chocolates...you never know what your gonna get....life goes on ends and flows and people around seem to die or disappear and your world goes into different journeys.
Those words can't be more profound and real as you get older.
When you watch the Movie as an adult those words hit harder and you realize she is right....My mom passed away in 2019 and my childhood bestfriend recently passed away, I'm going through an array of emotions and grief I never thought I would ever experience as a young innocent child.
I've lost meny family members, friends, as life went on...then you realize what crazy ride my life has been so far...so much ups and downs, extraordinary experiences, fun parting, and celebrations, and tragedy, heartaches, love, happiness, so much life valles.
It's the circle of life.
So her words are really true.
I like to say "life is a bowl of cunts"
*was, Yu dumbass.
This movie epitomizes every woman's fantasy that they can act 'bad', be promiscuous, have babies out of wedlock, etc....and there will always be a high status/rich man that will 'save her'...the same man that she 'rejected' in her youth.
The delusion is epic...but, to women this delusion is 'fact'. HILARIOUS and SAD at the same time.
LMFAO WHAT THE HELL
But its also a very good movie.
Are you ok, man?
I like how you capture all women in a nutshell. Now tell me the history of the universe, but keep it under 60 words.
This is one of my top movies of all time. I saw it at the theater when it came out. I think Forrest is a highly functional person on the autism spectrum. The emotional connection I have with this movie will last the rest of my life! ❤️🙏🏻
Coming from a high functioning normal IQ person on the spectrum he doesn’t fit that profile. He is more intellectually disabled. ASD and intellectual disabilities are two different things
@@RhiannaBarr
Thank you! I learn things everyday.
@@Jetz316 austim and aspegers are sensory disabilities not intellectual disabilities (intellectual disabilities are what used to be call mental retardation)
My Mama always said you've got to put the past behind you before you can move on.
My mama always said life is like a box of pepsis, you never know which one is gonna have a used hypodermic needle in it.
I don't understand how many times they react to movies they have already watched???? And why are you people supporting them on this??? This Is a cheap way to MILK views and you all.
I know you don't have Thanksgiving in Bulgaria, but we are thankful for you ladies.
This is such a beautiful movie that I ever seen. I am glad this movie had won at the 67th Academy Awards for best picture
33:09..I loved it when you all waved at the same time as Forest,that was hilarious.At the end it just about breaks my heart to see Forest sitting there all alone.
If you guys love Forest Gump, you should definitely watch “Radio”. Another great movie, but based on a true story, about a man who touched so many peoples hearts. That’s all I’ll say, but I know you guys will love it!
This channel LOVES reacting to Forrest Gump, holy cow
I don't know if you know the context or not, but when Jenny was saying that her virus was "unknown", it was intended to imply that she died of Aids. Back in that time frame, for a long time, it was an unknown virus and it was unknown how to treat for it.
Actually the director confirmed that she died of Hepatitis C. And back then they didn't know what it was and couldn't treat it like they can now.
Like the other commenter said, she actually had Hep C as confirmed by the author. Which would make sense because of the lifestyle she participated in dirty needles and all, and the fact that the disease can lie dormant for a while then rapidly onset and wreak havoc on a persons body. At the time it was just as deadly as AIDS and frankly not talked about enough.
But its intentionally kept vague so that the viewer can infer for themselves, the whole film is made to be both a fleshed-out story and a symbolic relatable metaphor to an entire generation's experiences
@@sergeantbigmac yes but the youngsters watching this movie today would have no memory of aids or hep-c being an "unknown" virus. That's all I was trying to point out. It's been known to them for all their lives
@@aj_aka_alan Fair point.
People watching this today see it through the lens of known historical bullet points, whereas an audience in '94 wouldve seen it as a reflection of societies struggles they themselves lived through.
One of the most emotional roller coaster of a movie ever. Jenny was just like a feather floating on the wind all accidental like
Many people that watch this movie always comment that Jenny doesn't always treat Forrest well. It's true, she doesn't, but she was a victim of sexual assault at such a young age. Sometimes people do things that they have no control over because of extreme trauma.
"I'm not a smart man but I know what love is" one of my all time favorite lines
Ladies, this was lovely to rewatch with all of you. Yes, it's a special movie, isn't it? Thank you for sharing this with us! 😊
I don't know why, but Michelle's reaction to Little Forrest in her first time watching it will always live rent free in my head. How much she freaked out made me laugh.
I don't understand how many times they react to movies they have already watched???? And why are you people supporting them on this??? This Is a cheap way to MILK views and you all.
@@tanelviil9149 Why does it bother you so much honestly who cares. Not everything is a conspiracy theory.
@@oeheaven i care because this is no longer a reaction, its a LIE.
They all have seen this movie.
This can be considered FRAUD, and SPAM.
@@tanelviil9149 😂
@@tanelviil9149 how is it a lie and a fraud when they said in the intro that they love the movie?
Just north of Monument Valley is a sign on the side of the road that marks where Forrest Gump stopped running, I think it might even be on Google Maps! We stopped by there a few years ago and there were international tourists there as well taking photos on the road like in the movie. The film has made a lasting impact!
Knew it was gonna be a good reaction when Ellie was tearing up at Forrest putting the feather in the book.
I like it when they react to"the green mile". especially when Ellie is by herself.😂
the 2nd time a person watches a movie..I just think the reaction are less intense and natural. Because you already know what happened.
@Calvelozark yeah, i get that..but watching them as a group. It's just not the same as watching them separately seeing the movie for 1st time. It's very obvious when you already know the outcome of the movie.
Thanksgiving here in The States and I'm grateful for The Homies Channel! I never ever get sick of this movie, it's my all time favorite. You're all so beautiful, even when you cry, how do you do it? 😊
Fun fact. The All-American team was formed in December of 1963. Kennedy was assassinated in November of the same year. So there was no way they could meet him
The most iconic Christmas movie is "Its a wonderful life" 1946 classic that everyone must watch at least once. You'll love it.
The music that plays at the beginning and end when the feather is flying, the Forrest Gump Suite by Alan Silvestri, was the music that my wife walked down the aisle to at our wedding. Still brings back great memories.
I like how only the one on the right doesn't five a fuck when jenny dies
When Forrest is at the mic, he says...
"Well, there's only one thing that I can say about the war in Vietnam. In Vietnam, your best good friend can get shot. 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. And that's all I have to say about that."
You’ve all seen this already
Ellie: Why Didn't You Meet Them Earlier?
Michelle: Cuz He Was Running!
😅🤣
Didn't see anyone else mention it so the reason why you think the actor who played Forrest, Jr. was someone you recognized is because this is the same kid who starred in The Sixth Sense as the kid who sees ghosts. Obviously even early on he was a good actor.
For an equally fantastic movie I recommend THE COLOR PURPLE..you will laugh, cry, get angry, be uplifted and more. Nominated for 11 Academy Awards...and a real gem from Steven Spielberg
Yes and "The Cotton Club"
I love the 'Juke Joint' action that really rocks the joint. Powerfull film making. Time capsule...
Why not watch a classic movie that none of you have seen?????
Like:
Chinatown
A Clockwork Orange
Apocalypse Now
L.A. Confidential
Boogie Nights
Taxi Driver
Carlitos Way
Carrie
Fargo
12 Monkeys
2001
Raging Bull
There Will Be Blood
The Deer Hunter
Pan's Labyrinth
Sling Blade
Requiem for a Dream
Dolores Claiborne
Angel Heart
The Wrestler
etc?
That girl with the red hair is soulless hahaha
Shows you don,t need a high i.q. to succeed, fate works out in funny ways.i loke it all 4 sitting watching "Forrest gump".poor ellie crying every time a happy moment comes up.
I hate it when Vikki tries to say something in the most emotional moments. She does this a lot in other group reactions, but I don't think she's figured with the lack of reaction from Lia, Michelle, or Ellie that her jibberish in those quiet moments is annoying to everybody.
When the taxi driver asks Jenny where is she running off to. She says she is not running. She is going to get cleaned up. The next time you see her, she's not doing drugs; she is the waitress who turns to she Forrest running across the country in the second year. At that time she had already had little Forrest. She couldn't get in touch with him as he had been running for three years. Finally he goes home and gets the letter to come see her.
Robert Zemeckis sure knows, how to put transmutation of traumas, on the screen, in a digestible form.
It's so needed, by nearly everyone, there's no wonder his films (most of them), are, universal-ly, considered "perfect".
Pretty sure those are Canadians. We in the south usually don’t like to leave it. It’s cold and people are rude.
I will NEVER leave The Homies. I love these girls and Larry too. U folks r amazing.
Millionaire back then, is billionaire now.
Remember that the next time you see the scene where the guy questions whether he's the owner of Bubba Gump shrimp co. at all, and laughable says "we were sitting next to a millionaire".
It might not be as impressive to newer viewers, but it's like sitting down and Bill Gates is next to you.
This is just one of the greatest movies of all time. Makes my eyes sweat every damn time😭 but the part when he finds out he has a son and he is so self aware his immediate concern is if little Forrest is mentally handicapped or not. That and when he's talking to Jenny at her grave... buckets if tears 😭😭
OMG that little dog is so cute. Sorry, don't care about the movie. That dog is the cutest thing I've ever seen..
Tom Hanks is so damn good love how innocent Forrest is & he’s really smart . Jenny had a rough ass life I can see why it’s hard for her to genuinely try to love Forrest
Check out "Paint Your Wagon" w/lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood. Another funny musical with Marvin and Eastwood trading lyrics with each other
Great movie. You should watch Big Tom Hanks breakout role which today is not overly reacted to. Also ther is Punch Line where Tom Hank has a love interest with Sally Field who plays his mother in this movie.
Aww, the dog on the right looks just like our lab mix, Everett.
I cannot believe you all are only reacting to this now! I thought you already did it earlier.
They have this movie on here 4 times.
I love watchin you ladies react to classic films . Beautiful silly and fun 🤩
I vote this the best of all Forrest Gump reaction videos. You are so empathetic and don't judge Jenny for acting the way she does, but are happy for her that she ultimately lived a happy, if short, life with Forrest.
By the way, I think that the last time Jenny left Forrest, she decided to change her life. That's why she didn't contact him immediately and say that she was pregnant by him. She wanted to master her life herself.
It seems so hard for people to understand Jenny but she was a broken soul and was not someone who could love completely and with commitment while dealing with her demons of sexual abuse and neglect; as a survivor of sexual abuse myself I know for a fact it can take years...a lifetime even to deal with it. Some people can find peace and heal and there are some who never find that peace. Child abuse in all forms including sexual abuse cripples a person and is an unseen handicap for most people. The way Jenny handled things with Forest is not surprising but pretty text book behavior for someone who endured a child hood she did. In the end she did come home and did ask Forrest to forgive her for her behavior its just so sad they didn't have enough time to live out their lives together. Love this movie and love your channel huge fan from Oklahoma USA!!
Lt. Dan's wife was a Vietnamese woman. 😊
After fighting in Vietnam - this gave him the closure that he desperately needed.
And when Jenny's old house was demolished - it gave closure to her story as well.
All stories need closure. ❤ It was a fitting end for both of them. ❤ A beautiful ending to all that tragedy.
Forrest’s son is in The Sixth Sense that you watched.
5:36: Most adults at the time thought Elvis’ gyrations were too sexual. You ladies should watch this year’s Elvis film. Tom Hanks is also in it!
Both Forest and Jenny are great runners
People never seem to understand Jenny, she left Forrest because she thought she was useless and would bring him down . She felt like she wasn't good enough for anyone to love and it wasn't until she had little Forrest that she found some measure of self worth and allowed herself to love without expecting the worse.
EDIT: I can see by many of the responses that many have no idea what PTSD does to a person . It strips away your feeling self worth, makes you question why you deserve anything, why you are even here, why someone would ever really want to love you. It makes you run from everything until you find a way to face it. BTW there were very very few resources to help someone like Jenny in the 70's, unlike today. Jenny's PTSD started as a child and that is even harder to overcome. PTSD is no joke and is so much more than most people actually realize.....
Soon to die helps too.
Took me awhile to fully grasp that.
Because the father sexually abused her, the reference is subtle….
I don't understand how many times they react to movies they have already watched???? And why are you people supporting them on this??? This Is a cheap way to MILK views and you all.
@@tanelviil9149 yeah, look at all the previous unique movies they've watched over time, how dare they rewatch one so my entitled self can whine..😑
Life goal for everyone: Find someone that will love you like Forrest loves Jenny. Also, that your love for them is as a pure and nurturing.
I seen someone request the movie Radio, I agree.. That movie is really good, also Shooter for a good action movie
so are you guys just re-reacting to everything you already reacted too before? This is like the 4th time this movie as been watched on this channel in one way or the other. Seems to be a new trend for this channel....
Wait so many Puppies. This might be your cutest video ever
34:14
Amazing movie, so many life affirming messages. Story, acting and music all first class. I believe Forrest was right, we float around as we go through life, but the wind which moves us is destined to blow one way, then the other, moving us to places and to meet people and do things we're meant to
and rely on random luck.
LOVE this movie, its on my top 5-10 movies ever made.. LOVE the dogs as well. here are my top movies that you all have not seen....rainman, road to perdition, and planet of the apes (1968)version.. I guarentee you that you will love them!. Keep the reactions/reviews coming!!.
At 41:20 when the two on the left( holding hands 🥹) start singing Sweet Home Alabama, i amost messed my jeans.
And I’m from San Diego CA 😎
Watching the two ladies on the left holding hands and getting so emotional throughout the movie, was so mesmerizing. Absolutely loved watching.
Do you remember what Jenny said to Forrest when he asked her to marry him? She said, "You don't want me." Jenny was broken and was still suffering from all the abuse she received as a child. She didn't considered herself worthy of a good and nice man. She felt that all she deserved was the worst that life had to offer because she considered herself worthless and ruined. I believe she was an early victim and died from the AIDS virus.
She died from Hep C in the books. the Movies made it seem more like it was HIV/AIDS though.
I love that you are all dog lovers.
Great channel😎
The irony of the bullying was that without it Forrest would not have sat with Jenny or realized his ability to run. These two events changed his destiny and he became more than just a village idiot. He became a hero.
Jenny didn’t think her love for Forest was real because she thought she was abusing him the way her father abused her.
1. The music rights alone must have cost a small fortune💲💲
2. Having gotten his degree Forrest would have gone into the Army as an officer like Lt. Dan. Not a recruit. Unfortunately, his ASVAB kills that.
3. 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.
4. Jenny did indeed give him the best gift ever (it wasn't the shoes)😋
5. Jenny died of Hep-C from dirty needles when she was in Caliphony..
6. It's ironic that Lt. Dan told the guys to take care of their feet because he loses his.
7. You have had a ride through recent US history and culture. From Elvis to John Lennon, Abby Hoffman, Vietnam and even the jogging craze of the 70's.
8. "Normal" enlisted Army soldiers know when their enlistment is up.
9. "Sometimes I guess there're aren't enough rocks"
10. Haley Joel Osmentt/Forrest Jr. steals the show in "The Sixth Sense" with Bruce Willis.
11. Often when he's finishing a segment about death, he ends it by saying "That's all I have to say about that"
12. In the book Forrest isn't always that nice of a guy.
Maybe Jenny left cause she felt she didn't deserve Forrest, or that she didn't trust herself, an that she would go back to her old ways, and hurt Forrest.
Michelle: 🤨 Lia: 🥺 Viki: 😢 Ellie: 😭
emotions the women have makes me wanna give them all a hug. ellie not even sec into a movie I know she was going to be a wreck
how have you not reacted to the movie "Terminal" it's good Tom hanks plays a Bulgarian man
You may want to check out "A Charlie Brown Christmas". It's a cute cartoon special
I recommend "Dance with wolves" with Kevin Costner.
Don't hate Jenny for leaving; she was drug addicted and needed rehab.
Jenny. One of the most misunderstood characters in cinema history. Not many fully appreciate the lasting impact of childhood abuse and I think this film did such a good job of portraying it that audiences just didn't really get it. She didn't use Forrest, she was trying to stay away from him specifically to avoid using him. She could have stayed with him and lived easily, but she didn't really love him the same way he loved her because she didn't love herself, and she knew she could never grow and heal by staying with him and that she would end up hurting him if she did. SO she leaves him, always keeping him at a safe distance away from the aspects of her life he could never understand. She's one of the most rich and compelling characters I've ever seen on screen, there is a rawness and fallibility to her. She seeks out abusive men, she tries to escape pain through spirituality and drugs, she's suicidal and she routinely self-harms by turning away from help. She has a gaping wound in her soul and that no amount of folksy wholesomeness will fill either. It's easy to love Forrest because he never really challenges our sympathy, he never does anything we disagree with out of pain or fear, so naturally juxtaposed with an incredibly complex character like Jenny it makes her seem cruel to act the way she does.
She rejects him due to viewing him as boring. To claim that she rejects him due to thinking he's too good for her is ridiculous.
Very well said, especially for you being an idiot on the internet
@@andrewjones575 The line where Jenny says "You don't know what love is" is the key to understanding her character. What she really means is that SHE doesn't know what love is.
She wasn't shown love in her family, which is how people learn what love is & how to love other people... Forrest's mom definitely loves him & shows him how to love other people.
The turning point for her is when she has her son. She finally learns what it means to love someone else, namely her son. That's what makes her apologize to Forrest, admit that she was "messed up for a long time" & ask him if he'll marry her.
@@uuhhhahahahahajahahha Who's a child?
54:18 what I will say when my grandma passes on
It's so awesome for them to react to this movie again (this time all 4 together)
Vicky has a dog in a headlock😂
This film makes me tear up everytime
Anytime I see Tom Hanks in anything Turner&Hooch always pops in my head lol that's in my top 5 !
There aren’t enough tissues in the world to get Ellie through the ending.
You ladies need to watch other movies directed by Robert Zemeckis, like Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and the Back To The Future trilogy.
This is a Masterpiece.🔴❤️🙏👌👍❤️😉😃😁💚🟢
Did you notice when Jenny asked Forrest to marry her that *birds* were singing? 🕊
U should watch national lampoon's senior trip, forest humps, then you'll think different of him. Cheating on jenny.
Love you all watching together ❤
How do you not do the "is he smart scene?; .
Because they are not smart.
33:09 synchronized waving... Thank you. That means a lot.
5 Forrest Gump reaction videos on one channel? Hmmmm 😞
If you ladies ever come to the US, I’ll take you to Bubba Gump’s! 🍤
Did any of you notice that Jenny is Wonder Woman’s aunt? 😎
Viki, please don't cry. It breaks me every time I see it. 😭
