Now you can listen to the Weird Al song Gump.

"Charlie" is shorthand for Victor Charlie, i.e., the Viet Cong, the communist revolutionary army that was allied with the North Vietnamese against the United States and South Vietnam.

Sad to see you missed that Gump's hospital letters were all the ones he wrote that were returned to sender.

JOHN LEGEND?! You are breaking my heart, Riccio.

I saw this in the theater with my brother and I think I enjoy it more now that I'm older. If you haven't eaten at the shrimp restaurant I recommend it. It's not like gourmet food and it's basically a basic chain seafood restaurant but it's completely a Forrest Gump themed place. They have memorabilia and trivia and to signal the waiter they have signs that say Go Forrest Go for if everything is fine and Stop Forrest Stop for if you need help. It's entertaining at least.

From ScreenRant: "In 2019, Forrest Gump screenwriter Eric Roth confirmed that Jenny did indeed die from HIV/AIDS complications. During an interview (via Yahoo Entertainment) about the film's 25th anniversary, Roth discussed the details of a sequel that was cancelled after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001. He reveals that the Forrest Gump sequel was actually going to open with the revelation that Forrest Jr. had AIDS, the result of acquiring the disease from his mother, Jenny. "

lmaooo yeah in editing and I want to correct it so bad. Do I leave it in wrong? Commenters on YT LOVE telling me when im wrong

shanellericcio

did not clock. Also sad that I had to watch this on a 13" screen ... but I wont pretend that the bigger screen might have helped

Lance Romanoff

If you leave it you're going to have about 500 comments correcting you. Which would be ... good?

I remember watching this for the first time and being blown away by it. It is truly great. This movie is aging really well. I don’t think it is possible to over rate this movie. Generally I can hold myself together through movies until you start up. Yes I am blaming you 😝. I think it is a great excuse. Until next time, bye.

Joe Cross

While I’m not a fan of the movie, I have been meaning to rewatch it this week since a friend of mine (who was part of the inspiration for Lt Dan) passed away last week. Thanks for the motivation to finally revisit it

There is nothing basic about a love for this film WITHOUT A DOUBT one of the GREATEST things EVER committed to film in the history of existence. From the writing, directing, cinematography, music and sound design, casting and performances…absolutely top tier artistic achievement.

Good evening. Thank you for the watch. Since the other commenters already answered all your questions, and pointed out the things I was going to point out, I'll spare you my $0.02 worth. Suffice it to say that I saw this in theaters when it came out, and I really enjoyed it. I liked the way it was put together, although I couldn't have articulated my appreciation of its structure as well as you did. I remember a lot of the stuff that Forrest lived through. (Although, he started a little bit earlier than I did.) I guess... I liked most the way he was blissfully unaware of what was actually going on around him, despite his being in the midst of all of it. I'm both glad and sorry to see that it made you cry. I hate and love movies that so manipulate my feelings that I just get all weepy. I cry every single time I watch this movie. And, while you were wiping away your tears... I was wiping away my own. Aside from not enjoying crowds, that's part of why I prefer to see movies at the matinee's on Monday or Tuesday, after the movie's been out for a while. So there are very few if any folks in the theater with me. (This, even before Covid.) When I went to see the Notebook, I was alone in the theater until just after the previews started, then two older ladies came in and sat right behind me in the theater. *sigh* So, being a manly man, when we got to the end, I had to work really, really hard not to sob. So as not be be embarrassed in front of the ladies. Ah, well. I hope you recovered from your cry, and I hope you cry again the next time you watch it. I can't think of anything else to share. Except, it's almost Thanksgiving... we're coming up on the company's busy season. I might not be able to watch for a while. But, I'll catch them later, like in January. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

Shanelle, Eric Roth really worked magic on this screenplay, because the book was terrible! It was very sardonic and did not treat Forrest kindly. Forrest also went to space in the book, which was especially problematic. And he was a professional wrestler. Again, very problematic! The book isn't worth reading, but the movie is one that should be rewatched regularly!

Have you seen Cast Away? That's another excellent Zemeckis, Hanks, Silvestri film!

Also a great film starring not only Sally Field but a young Julia Roberts, Dolly Parton, Shirley McClain, Darryl Hannah, and Olympia Dukakis is "Steel Magnolias" from 1989. Highly recommend!

YES SEEN IT. I've loved that since it came out, watched it when I was pretty young and it made a massive impression on me. I still remember the first time I saw it --I couldn't believe it. Probably took it as nonfiction at the time

shanellericcio

thanks for sharing as always! I love going to the movies by myself so I'm free to have whatever reaction I have, I hate when I've got someone with me and I have to choke back how I feel 😂😂😂 I say CRY. I can't even believe I'm cool to post videos like this now, but I do think the joy of Forrest Gump must be shared! Happy belated Thanksgiving Michael!

Michael F.

Thank you, Little Girl! I'm glad you feel comfortable enough to cry with us. Of course... you don't actually see us see you, and that helps a little bit... I guess. I'd freak out. Probably why I don't have a YouTube channel. That... and the fact that I can't come up with material. Thank you for the Thanksgiving wishes. It was nice. Peak Season is about to pick up, and... yeah... I have no idea what my time is going to be like. It's usually very, very, very busy. But... you know... watching videos is a nice way to decompress after a long day working. We'll see how it goes. In any event, I do hope you have a wonderful Christmas Season. And, I'll watch everything you post. Eventually. Just may not do a lot of commenting. (I do tend to ramble. Actually... I'm keeping it to a minimum. You get me going, and... I can write a book! But, I'm trying to be mindful of the audience. Attention spans have gotten so short in the last 50 years or so. What's that all about? Well... Gotta run. I'm actually writing through my supper break. Later!

I've watched quite a few Forrest Gump reactions and almost nobody realizes it. Nobody writes letters anymore so they just don't recognize that the letters were all addressed to Jenny.

Thomas Snyder

I cried so much watching this with you and it's probably the 20th time I've watched it since 94. One thing I think you may have not noticed is the letters in the Vietnam Hospital scene were not from Jenny. They were all addressed to Jenny but sent back as return to sender. :-(

It was soo cool seeing her from princes bride a princess then in wonder woman seeing her as a general like Princess Leia to general leia
