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.
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
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.”
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
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.
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. 💜
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
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.
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.
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 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
@@Jetz316 austim and aspegers are sensory disabilities not intellectual disabilities (intellectual disabilities are what used to be call mental retardation)
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.
@@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
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.
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.
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!
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
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? 😊
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.
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.
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.
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.
@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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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.
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 😭😭
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.
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?
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".
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."
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.
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!!.
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
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.
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.
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.
I'm OLD enough to have lived-thru-most of this movie (Elvis, Wallace, Bear Bryant, Blacks Only Restrooms, Kennedy, , Missle Crisis, Dealy Plaza, Johnson, Vietnam (the draft, friends dying, Protesting the War, etc.), Nixon, Ping Pong Diplomacy, Watergate, etc. ! They wanted to make a 2nd movie carrying on from the 1st movie ending BUT they just couldn't get everybody together again ?? Great movie 30 years ago when young men and young women got together .got married and made the next generation - NOT LIKE TODAY ? :-)
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.
Фильм потрясающий! Том Хэнкс потрясающий) Это кино, не устану повторять, проверка на человечность) Девушки, спасибо за реакцию) Ваши слезы говорят о многом)
MY WIFE AND I LOVE WATCHING YOU'RE SHOW RESPECT YOU CRY TO MUCH THAT'S WHAT WE SOLDIERS DO TO FIGHT FOR OUR LOVED ONE'S RESPECT 🙏💯🏅👍🇺🇸💐💝💐🌹 ENJOY THE COMING HOLIDAYS
Why is the second woman to the right my girl of my dreams ? She is soooo beautiful! ...and...I love your attitude towards feelings such as they were in that movie. ❤❤❤
Just a suggestion on movies you all should watch if you enjoy ELVIS and some of his music, Loving you and Jailhouse rock. One is in color and ELVIS was responsible for what some may argue was the first Rock song video in a Prison lol.
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.”
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
This is why the movie won the Oscar for the picture of the year... it tugged at our emotions and was very well written.
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.
I don't know why I keep watching these Gump movie reactions. No matter what, I tear up every time.
Ditto.

The love story between Forrest and Jenny was symbolic of the Bible story of Hosea. Forrest would be Hosea and Jenny would be Gomer.
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

So her words are really true.

This is a Masterpiece.🔴❤️🙏👌👍❤️😉😃😁💚🟢
It's so awesome for them to react to this movie again (this time all 4 together)
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".
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."
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.
I seen someone request the movie Radio, I agree.. That movie is really good, also Shooter for a good action movie
33:09 synchronized waving... Thank you. That means a lot.
That girl with the red hair is soulless hahaha
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
I love watchin you ladies react to classic films . Beautiful silly and fun 🤩
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!!.
Aww, the dog on the right looks just like our lab mix, Everett.
Ellie: Why Didn't You Meet Them Earlier?
Michelle: Cuz He Was Running!
😅🤣
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.
Watching the two ladies on the left holding hands and getting so emotional throughout the movie, was so mesmerizing. Absolutely loved watching.
Love you all watching together ❤
I like how only the one on the right doesn't five a fuck when jenny dies
Check out "Paint Your Wagon" w/lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood. Another funny musical with Marvin and Eastwood trading lyrics with each other
Viki, please don't cry. It breaks me every time I see 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
You may want to check out "A Charlie Brown Christmas". It's a cute cartoon special
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.
I recommend "Dance with wolves" with Kevin Costner.
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.
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!
Wait so many Puppies. This might be your cutest video ever
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.
This film makes me tear up everytime
SHRIMPIN' IS TOUGH.
SHRIMP STEW
SHRIMP CREOLE
SHRIMP & POTATOES
SHRIMP SALAD
LEMON PEPPER SHRIMP
SHRIMP SANDWICH
DEEP FRY
STIR FRY
SHRIMP GUMBO
Christmas Vacation and maybe Bad Santa are must watch for christmas.
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 😎
54:18 what I will say when my grandma passes on
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.
OMG that little dog is so cute. Sorry, don't care about the movie. That dog is the cutest thing I've ever seen..
I love that you are all dog lovers.
Great channel😎
Forrest’s son is in The Sixth Sense that you watched.
God bless Ellie she’s always rubbing a puppy. She’s the Pup-father.
Pretty sure those are Canadians. We in the south usually don’t like to leave it. It’s cold and people are rude.
I'm OLD enough to have lived-thru-most of this movie (Elvis, Wallace, Bear Bryant, Blacks Only Restrooms, Kennedy, , Missle Crisis, Dealy Plaza, Johnson, Vietnam (the draft, friends dying, Protesting the War, etc.), Nixon, Ping Pong Diplomacy, Watergate, etc. ! They wanted to make a 2nd movie carrying on from the 1st movie ending BUT they just couldn't get everybody together again ?? Great movie 30 years ago when young men and young women got together .got married and made the next generation - NOT LIKE TODAY ? :-)
Las amo🤗 un abrazo grande a las 4. Desde Uruguay 🇺🇾🇺🇾
Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get
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.
One of the best movies ever made in my opinion
By watching this, you get to learn about important people and events in US history from the 1950s to the 1980s.
Фильм потрясающий! Том Хэнкс потрясающий) Это кино, не устану повторять, проверка на человечность) Девушки, спасибо за реакцию) Ваши слезы говорят о многом)
J'aime bien cette façon de regarder de vieux films, et ainsi, remonter le temps..je vous adore..!! Laurent in France.
MY WIFE AND I LOVE WATCHING YOU'RE SHOW RESPECT YOU CRY TO MUCH THAT'S WHAT WE SOLDIERS DO TO FIGHT FOR OUR LOVED ONE'S RESPECT 🙏💯🏅👍🇺🇸💐💝💐🌹 ENJOY THE COMING HOLIDAYS
You've already seen this movie!
Would love to see you all react to "Rain Man" (1988). You'll love it!
Why is the second woman to the right my girl of my dreams ?
She is soooo beautiful!
...and...I love your attitude towards feelings such as they were in that movie.
❤❤❤
Just a suggestion on movies you all should watch if you enjoy ELVIS and some of his music, Loving you and Jailhouse rock. One is in color and ELVIS was responsible for what some may argue was the first Rock song video in a Prison lol.
You ladies need to watch other movies directed by Robert Zemeckis, like Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and the Back To The Future trilogy.
Did you notice when Jenny asked Forrest to marry her that *birds* were singing? 🕊
The dogs are so happy to be included 😊
Vicky has a dog in a headlock😂
