Jenny was a terrible person and a huge DICK to Forrest. She constantly abandoned him and would appear in his life just to lead him on...

This is really sweet but y'all understand she was a terrible person to him, right? Like, she didn't deserve his love.
anakhasilver
"Abused women don't deserve love" is all I'm hearing from you.
ProbablyPoe
Do you need a safe space?
anakhasilver
Says the person who can't stand women being abused having less-than-perfect reactions.
Tissueaccount
Or maybe she felt she never deserved his love, that she was damaged and couldn't have a functioning relationship, and would damage him.
AirBud3theReckoning
Well she didn't only feel it then since it was true. That's not to say she wasn't probably super screwed up from the molestation but still
OhNoItsTheDramaLlama
She was trying to save him from herself. Remember when she told him "Stay away from me, Forrest" she didn't want to do to him 1/2
OhNoItsTheDramaLlama
what her father did to her. She didn't think he could understand her love and she didn't want to take advantage of him. There's a quote 2/3
OhNoItsTheDramaLlama
From "The perks of being a wallflower" that I think fits Jenny. "We accept the love we think we deserve."
ProbablyPoe
That's probably the best take on it
darahian
Damn! Watched this movie two decades ago. This part almost made ma cry. Again.
aselleus
My sister and I loved this movie and would watch it all the time, and we would even play it at sleepovers. I don't get the hate for it.
imguriandownunder
There's hate for it? How could that be possible, it's an amazing movie.
aselleus
I know, right?? I think the hate was because it "romanticized the boomer generation" or something.

Didn’t she die on Tuesday?

romes1
Isn’t it funny how Jenny revealed that Forrest was the father after he became a millionaire. Is he the father? The timeline don’t add up
BettyWhiteSupremacy
Jenny was a dick as an adult. Forrest was too good for her
anakhasilver
Given how much the kid looks like him... She only told him when she wanted the kid to have a better life than the foster system would give.

Glad they didn’t make Forrest Gump 2 like they were going to. It would’ve been ridiculous, based on all the story points they came up with.

Was it tom hanks that killed the idea? I thought i remembered hearing that at some point

Think they could do a movie like that again, where 9/11 would have to obviously be addressed, and have it still be a fun thing to do. 2/2

That makes sense. The whole mood of society changed that year. DC still hasn't recovered

Neat! How did she get the role? Did she appear in any more movies? Does she have any dirt on the rest of the cast?

Currently reading the book. One of those rare times the movie is better.
SilentScreamsX
Agreed. I can't think of too many other times it's happened. Maybe LotR, but that's probably an unpopular opinion.
Fortherea
By a far, far cry!

Anyone else read that in his voice?
joemac65
Yes, always.

yup. even the voice cracking when he says 'he's so smart, jenny'.

This was the comment i was looking for. The most heartbreaking part of the movie.. just my opinion

He was. And turned it down. As did Ice Cube and David Alan Grier.

Thing is bubba was the idea behind the shrimping business. Had bubba survived he'd have been rich.

That’s why Forrest gave Bubba’s share to his mom

hanahasakuragi
Can I ask who he is? I’d like to watch that.

I'm surprised you never heard of Dave Chappelle since he's pretty famous. Anyhow he's a pretty funny guy. There's a lot of his stuff on YT.
PitchforkSalesperson
He's famous in America. Not so much in a lot of other countries and there are people here from all over

Unpopular opinion: jenny was the worst and Forrest deserved better
sordatos
Jenny was poor woman that had a very shitty life from the get go, she wasnt able to have healthy relationship with anyone
wiltsjunk
Tell me you don't understand the movie without telling me you don't understand the movie.
Kbantar
She was raped throughout her childhood felt she destroyed everything and everyone around her, so left the one person that she cared for.
empire161
Literally everyone thinks this.
Doumdidoum
I don’t.
LittleVanillaBean12
How is that unpopular?
daguq
You wanna see an unpopular (and genuine) opinion? - Forrest Gump is a cheesy, paint-by-numbers wankfest.
Kbantar
She was a tragic character that never had the shit ton of opportunities and cartoonish luck that Forest did.
36roentgen
He deserved better but love is about being the best for someone, not finding the best for you. Basically he loved her but she didn't learn 1
36roentgen
how to love until near the end of her life. 2
adjacentengels
That's not a particularly unpopular opinion.
TheDaharMaster
IamMelonLordeYaYaYa
Actual unpopular opinion: She did deserve him. She was sexually abused herself, and she felt like she was abusing Forrest. In her mind, he1/
IamMelonLordeYaYaYa
had roughly the same capacity as she did as a child. And now she was the adult of the situation, and she saw herself as an abuser. That 2/
IamMelonLordeYaYaYa
causes a lot of self-hate, and Forrest doesn't get this from his point of view, so we as an audience only really feel his frustrations. 3/3
SaltyDitchDr
Very insightful. Never considered this before.
Kube420
Everybody thinks she didn't deserve him
Mrdaihatsu
True, that she didn't deserve him. She was still a sweet, compassionate girl that made a lot of bad choices.
MichaelAndersen88
I met someone who didn't think she was awful. Something about trying to live a fulfilling life against the pressures of society. Told 1/
MichaelAndersen88
Me that it was liberating that she didn't tie herself to a man, and noble that she planned ahead for her child by getting Forrest to take 2/
MichaelAndersen88
Care of him, regardless of whether or not he was Forrest's kid. 3/3
Opportunist
Forrest's probably the most noble and decent person any of us would have the good fortune to meet, so that does sound like a genuinely great

Nope, but it sure helps them on their merry way.
Smigions
Are you sure? I'm not asking because I'm a dick I just want to know for sure I have always wonder what it was and how gimp didn't get "it"
Iwouldbenick
This is correct. I strongly urge everyone to read the book. The author narrates the audio book.
Nobodyslogan
The books sequal states she died of Hep C.
Smigions
Ah, I see thank you!

The movie was fairly different from the books in most regards though, so could be flick Jenny had AIDS.

Skumbo
Yeah, if you look at the "bad comments" it's basically people saying this.
jurrdOpPilot
So my comment is bad.
Skumbo
Not what I was saying, but I could see how you think that. Nah I said the same thing actually.
jurrdOpPilot
She was also sexually abused as a child and had a fucked up life
Takavos
That is hardly an excuse.
36roentgen
It's more of a reason to understand why she acted they way she did, not to excuse it away.
TheImpliication
So having a shitty life gives you an excuse to be a shitty human. Who are you joker?
thewarinvietfuckingnam
I don't believe he was saying it was an excuse that made it fine, just that it's reasonable to believe that someone growing up with abuse
thewarinvietfuckingnam
Would not have been taught properly how to treat people with tact, care, and love.
Papabadger
There is a difference between understanding and accepting. I can't say I accept her doings in the movie but I do understand why.
