I think in the movie, Forest is the father. The movie doesn't shed any doubt in that. So I think we are supposed to believe Forest is actually the father, and in the movie he is the actual father. Yeah?

Edit:
Maybe I'm in the minority, and I'm wrong. I never assumed the kid wasn't actually his. That takes away a lot of the heartfelt connection between Forest and his son.

I don't like that. I'll choose to believe Forest is the dad.

There have been lots of threads calling Jenny the villain. Where have you been?

Did you even look to see if she is in and did well in her seeding in the most hated movie character thread, she got to the elite 8?

To answer the OP, single moms probably weren’t that unusual by the early 80’s in waitressing circles.

I’m with you. The very last scene where they both tilt their heads confirms it for the audience.

Jenny gets a lot of hate for being so horrible, but honestly, she spent her life looking for something and never found it. So she settled on the security that Forrest provided. She bailed when he asked for something she couldn’t give. She only found him again after she got AIDS (assuming from some sort of drug relapse after the birth of little Forrest) and needed that same security for their child. Forrest was never her great love like she was his.

But yeah, she was a selfish drugged out whore who used Forrest when she needed him.

No doubt she was drugged out and banged as lot of dudes, but I think she genuinely cared about Forest( they grew up together) and the child was his.
