re: Why did Jenny wait so many years

the whole jenny-forrest dynamic just proves that nice guys finish last. i think it's all zemeckis wanted to do with the movie

when the world chews her up and spits her out she returns to forrest knowing not only does no one else now want an AIDSey washed up whore with a kid, but forrest is the old comfortable sweater that's been there all along to make her feel special instead of being a nut butter receptacle that doubles as a punching bag.

all this movie did was reinforce to women that you can just take advantage of perpetual friend zone dwellers, go ride all hog you want from numerous douchebags and when you're tired of being treated like my dorm room kleenex, settle down and get the life you've always wanted with that guy who's "been there all the while".

the thing zemeckis got right is that he put her in the ground where she can't hurt someone else like forrest...forrest really was a "tragic" hero. he just didn't know he was. and jenny really was a villain.

I think you and I may have dated some of the same women, because you seem to have the same healthy attitude toward them that I do.
