Forrest Gump: An Illusion Shattered
I remember watching this when i was younger and loving it, a movie for the whole family but could entertain every one.
I bought it on DVD yesterday and a piece of my childhood died.
There are lots of things i loved still but one thing pissed me off: Jenny.
She was a dirty crack whore **** on Forrest his whole life, got pregnant then ****ed off. She then found out she had AIDS and dumps the kid on Forrest, the kid who she didnt even bother telling him about. I'm surprised she didnt nick all of his BubbaGump money. The scanky ho probably gave him AIDS too (everyone knows Forrest Gump is a prequal to Phillidelphia)

I watched it again recently. I liked it, though not as much as I did when I first saw it as a young whipper snapper in the cinema.
And yes, the bird is a skanky good for nothing ho'. You don't need her, kick her to the kerb brother! *whooping commences*

he does good for him in the end though, by letting him be partner in the bubba gump thing, and that scene where he swins in the sea with some comment like " I think he found god"
anywaym, that film sucked, I dunno why people liked it

I loved this movie. And you're right Jenny was a ho with AIDS, but I don't think that fact made the movie worse. It was good to see a complicated female character in that movie. If Jenny hadn't have been what she was then I don't think she would have ever married Forrest. Also I think you should consider everything before judging her. Her promiscuity is preceded by a history of sexual abuse with her father. This is a typical response to sexual abuse. After then repeatedly objectifying herself she turns more and more to drugs as an escape of the life she leads. She's the submissive party in her romantic relationships, and her whole life is based on the concept of escape. Faced with her own mortality and the responsibility of a child she settles down and gets her **** together. I thought her character was frustrating, believable, and necessary.

I stopped watching when his leg casts broke and then he jumped a huge fence. Too unbelievable.

It's like A Beautiful Mind or Titanic. It hoovers up the Oscars before people realise that it's ****.

two of my favourite films
i'm not saying Forest Gump is great, but it certainly isn't as bad as you're making out

Well, I don't watch movies that are trying to be serious when they are too unbelievable. I mean, I watched the Matrix because they gave me a reason why he could jump from building to building.
Some movies are made simply to get awards. The most apparent one I can think of is A.I. That was the most boring movie in the history of movies.

There's enough great films out there to just lump everything else into 'Don't need to watch'.

The Kubrick bits were 'OK', but the last hour was terrible beyond belief.

gangs of new york was destined for oscars before anyone saw it

Still haven't seen it, and now I have to wait till it comes out on DVD. Luckily it was a hit, so it should be out soon.

My new theory is that Forrest gets his act together and changes his name, and it is infact a prequal tio phillidelphia.
