Watching Forrest Gump

[Jalapeñomel]

I watched this with my mom just a couple weeks ago. I forgot how long it is.

Gimp sat alone on a bench in a park
My name is Forrest he casually remarked.

Jenny was never good enough for Forrest.

Yes. I don't like Jenny. I mean, she's a sad character in the end and all, but mostly she's terrible.

I still don't get how Jenny died. She just got sick, knew she was sick and then died. WHAT DID SHE HAVE?

I've always had a thing for Gary Sinise. He's sexy.

Um. HIV/AIDS. it was the 80s and a new disease the doctors couldn't treat. She was a dope addict and shared needles

I always thought it was aids.

[eb777888]

No, they never said AIDS but it did cross my mind given the time.
OKAY, THANK YOU!

No. Forrest asks why she's sick (do you have a cough due to cold?). Jenny says "no Forrest. I have some disease that the doctors can't figure out or treat" (paraphrasing).

Dude. She lost her mother, was sexually abused by her father, and abused/used for sex by every man she ever met besides Forrest. And she's on her own as a teen. Girl is allowed to have some issues.

I was watching Jaws, but then my kids came downstairs and I had to turn it off. Decided not to traumatize them in the way that I was traumatized as a child. Let them still be able to enjoy pools.

Aren't you afraid of sharks?!

In the book Forrest has a huge baloney pony.

Yeah, I can see this.

[chickadee77]

Lol. Nope, I think Gary Sinise is quite attractive, scraggly or not! Besides, scraggly men are even better when you know they clean up nice!

I did not know that. I'm learning so much tonight.

[demelza]

I have never read the book, but I've read the synopsis of the book. Quite bizzare, isn't it? I love the movie!

[mcfelix]

Love that movie! It always makes me cry when he's talking to Jenny's grave about their son.
