The movie is very deep. The whole movie is about free will (momma's take) vs destiny (lt. Dan's take) vs how it is "a little bit of both happening at the same time" (Gump' s take).

Not only that, but the whole movie is one example of free will and destiny intertwined after another. It gives Forrest's destiny and the positive choices he makes within it and, by contrast, windows into Jenny's destiny and her poor choices within it.

Um, that's the joke.


I didn't take it as they were going so much for the joke aspect, the movie was heavily focused on reliving the nostalgia of the times.

I'd have liked to see them spend more time on a phase of his life rather than jump all around so fast.

That's not the point of the movie. Forrest is just the vehicle that we experience America through.

How did Forest never ejaculate unit he was a grown man?
Gotta think that even tards would tug around on that or accidentally wet dream ejaculate?

Would you rather reviews written in your native language?

That’s the point. Her pain is what drives her.
The writer pretty much painted himself into a corner when she prayed to be a bird and fly far far away.

I don't really think you need to put a spoiler warning for a movie over 20 years old. Haha

Ah my bad. I didn’t realize anyone had seen the movie yet so i thought I’d be careful.

Please don’t read below if you haven’t seen the movie yet.

I don’t know why I clicked on this thread, I missed about half the movie. Kept having to get up to pee, I must have drank me about 15 Dr Peppers
