what? This entire site hates women in real life AND any female characters that aren't Betty Crocker in their submissive perfection.

Jenny was a victim at childhood and it fricked her up. Her friendship with Forest went past love. Where others looked down on him, Jenny always accepted him and cared for him enough to not drag him into her screwed up life because she knew that Forest literally saw no wrong in anything she did.

In a way, she's a bit like Anakin Skywalker.

Some people may have read the actual book and realize Jenny is actually a good person and that Forrest and LT Dan are the frickups. Forrest could have had a great life with Jenny but him and Lt Dan screwed it up. Ohh and Kenny Stabler

Jenny is the worst villain in cinema. Ignore the message board polls and contests.



Boo that woman!

Have you seen Bama graduates? You’re actually kinda making my argument for me.

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.

I agree to a degree with that.

But it's pretty clear also that she only came back into Forest's life (with his kid) because she was dying. Had she not contracted HIV/AIDS (I assume) she would've likely kept a son and his father separated for......reasons? frick her.

Jenny is a bad person. But she did set up her son to be with his father. Better late than never.

And she did give Forest some sex. That was a pure gift. I mean, we really gonna blame her for not settling down with goddam Forest Gump? He’s literally retarded.
