/tv/ what is your opinion about Jenny from Forrest Gump? Was she a monster or just a victim?
>>63421757
In the book, wasn't Forrest the one that got into all the drugs and secks?
>>63421757
She was a fucking hoe
>>63421757
Is that Robin Wrightk
>>63421757
>Was she a monster or just a victim?
bit of both, iirc she was molested as a kid but then she tends to take advantage of Forrest throughout the movie
>>63421757
She is just a portrait of the western woman. Have sex with dozens of men in her prime and when she is finally full of stds finally settles for the beta nice guy.

>>63421825
Sure is.
>>63421757
A victim, then a monster, then a good person.
>>63421897
>A victim, then a monster, then a good person.
The best and only answer.
>>63421859
>forrest gump
>war hero
>entrepreneur
>met multiple presidents
>champion long distance runner
>cultural phenomenon
>millionaire
>pretty sure he got the medal of honor
>beta
She is a victim, but the movie forgets that and blames her for every shortcoming that comes after, usually for doing the opposite of what Forrest does.
she just made what turned out to be some poor decisions
that doesnt make her a monster or a victim
what movie did you watch
>>63421757
I'm not of this hippie new age mentality that someone's past excuses their current actions.
I don't give a shit if you were molested as a kid, if you break into my car to steal my stereo I'll kick your fucking teeth in.

All those achievements and still obsessed with some used up whore.
>pic related hours after this scene she was being gangbanged by a pack of niggers.
>>63421757
>/tv/ what is your opinion about Jenny from Forrest Gump?
A perfect representation of what American women have become.
Forrest gump is about part of the history of america. Jenny represented the 'counter' culture and forrest represented the main stream.
>>63422074
Still mad about that stereo white boy?
>>63421757
I'm somewhat progressive and I FUCKING HATE THAT WHORE
Spending your entire life having fun with no responsibility and then settling down for a nice friendly guy like Forrest. Then using political issues as a way to "Justifies" her sluttyness and chasing who has money and status.
Basically a woman.
>>63422206
This is a real 2 dimensional view
The draft protests may have had dumb fuck kids doing stupid shit but it was a legit serious issue where grown ass men where drafted to get burned by chinks.
>>63422074
I doubt anyone's going to tell you they were molested if you catch them stealing your shit mang
Was a top tier cunt
>>63421757
victim
there is no other answer
>>63422269
How did you get that from the film? She made a series of bad choices and tries to find a way for her son to have a better life before she dies. Even if she is lying about Gump being his dad she lied for the kids benefit, not hers. Where is the gold digging?
She a coal burner. Gross.
>>63421779
>drugs and secks
Just weed and Jenny.
Also, book jenny > movie jenny.
I can't believe Forrest got together with her in the end. Is he retarded?
>>63422408
>Is he retarded?
Sort of.
>>63422408
>is he retarded?
She wasnt even a good friend.
>>63422433
The man was a pingpong champion ain't nothing retarded about that
>>63422345
>She made a series of bad choices
>a couple errors desu
her whole life was a mistake.
youre either a woman or a wimpy needledick beta liberal.
>>63422175
How would you fucking shut ins know anything about women aside from facebook posts from vapid sluts who you vaguely knew from highschool. I see so many of you faggots complaining about the modern american women, look at the modern american "man" on fucking 4chan who thinks he'd be less of a loser 60 years ago.
>>63422640
>wimpy needledick beta liberal
so forrest?
>>63422640
I don't understand, you said the same thing as me.
>>63422408
think of it like this. she was his first childhood crush like emma watson is to all of you
she could do anything and you would all still get together with her if she even looked in your general direction
>>63422408
>Is he retarded?
>>63422667
>so forrest?
forrest was an exceptional human being. cant be categorized in alpha, beta, whatever labels. he was a fucking war veteran, nothing liberal about that, m8.
>>63421757
INITIALLY, SHE WAS A VICTIM, BUT DUE TO WHAT CAUSED HER TO BE VICTIMIZED, SHE BECAME AN ABOMINATION.
>2. "ABOMINATIONS ARE THE PRODUCTS OF MONSTERS; LIKE THEIR FOREBEARS, ABOMINATIONS SPREAD AND CORRUPT, PRODUCING FURTHER ABOMINATIONS, AND THOSE ABOMINATIONS SPREAD AND CORRUPT, PRODUCING FURTHER ABOMINATIONS, EACH REPRODUCTION BEING MORE DEGENERATE THAN THE PREVIOUS."

there are trips here? LMAO
this is not even a creative board, why would you do this?
>>63422739
I dunno m8, my dad was drafted and he hates conservatives
>>63421897
i dont know why i never realized until now
Jenny remains Forrest's love interest and best friend throughout the entirety of the movie, and her effect on him is powerful, whether she is physically present in his life or not. Therefore, analysis of her psychosocial development is essential to understanding Forrest's own growth. Jenny's character is interesting in contrast to Forrest, because she is not disabled, yet her environment is more psychologically damaging. Her mother died when she was 5 years old, and her father was an alcoholic who physically and sexually abused Jenny and her sisters. Although we are not shown her infancy and toddlerhood, we see that Jenny has developed several defensive behaviors by her late childhood that suggest that she falls victim to guilt in the third stage of childhood. Her abuse and the death of her mother teach Jenny that the idea of “home” is dangerous and that the only way to conquer adversity is by retreat. Although her father is arrested while she is still in elementary school, she spends the remainder of her life running away at the first signs of hardship, only to find herself in equally difficult situations.
Jenny's attempts at physical intimacy with Forrest can be seen as her first attempt to accept or repay Forrest for his unconditional love. However, upon being rejected by him, she is visibly disgusted with herself, presumably because she does not view Forrest as being capable of consenting, and thus she felt that she had become like her father. This is why she runs away from Forrest time and time again. Imagine if the only person that ever was a true friend to you was a retard...
>>63422207
I'm mixed race
>>63422309
The next day the news will say; oh poor baby liberal hunior was such a good child. He/she didn't deserve tog o like that, the just had a bad start ;_;
>>63422739
No one who has ever fought in a war has voted for a democrat?
>>63423008
>Imagine if the only person that ever was a true friend to you was a retard.
id appreciate the genuine care of that "retard", in a world full of mean intended people. but if you have the mindset of a vapid whore, of course youll feel bad omg want to die
>>63422939
hating conservatives doesnt make you a liberal.
>>63423051
voting for a democrat doesnt make you a liberal
daily reminder hte USA broke the americans minds with the silly dem/con dichotomy. im feeling literal sorrow for all of you.
>>63421757
She had to deal with a tard.
>>63423123
Literal sorrow that we will never experience the extreme next level cvckolding that comes when Europe's true leftist parties got into power?
Save your sorrow. We don't want your brand of politics here cvck.
>>63423205
>hurrr kek hurrr yurop
Daily reminder americans cant reason but work on a knee jerk reaction level when challenged. This time its "yuropa bad, america gud". Pity how mind broken are you all.
How much different Forrest is in the book compared to the movie.
>>63423430
Daily reminder that you just got BTFO by someone with a different political stance by you and since you were raised from day one to worship feminism, socialism and peaceful Islam, you failed to develop any critical thinking skills and had to resort to a blatant strawman.
Pathetic.
>>63423078
If you think that Jenny puts herself in those situations, and that any other person with her upbringing would have been able to have a successful life, then I have some news for you: you lack the life experiences to truly appreciate the plight of people in such shitty situations. Your evaluation of her character is absurdly reductionist and shows that you aren't emotionally capable of the empathy required to appreciate this movie. I don't expect much more from /tv/ posters, though, most of whom fit the psychological profile of a 14 year old suburban American male who has never truly been alone in their lives. The reason that you feel such isolation is that you never learned to reciprocate with your peers, and instead retreat to an anonymous image board.
From a social-cognitive perspective, Jenny's situation can be explained by her low self-efficacy and inability to find a healthy place for herself in society. She does not believe in her capability to change herself or her environment. Therefore, she either accepts abuse from herself or others, believing that she deserves it, or she finds a completely new environment to control her and shape her goals and worldview. Each iteration of the vicious cycle only damages her more, until she attempts suicide while on heroin, and decides to find Forrest. Forrest, on the other hand,
continues to live an inspiring and successful life as an inspiration for Elvis and the Beatles, a
professional ping-pong player, the owner of the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, the man who exposed Watergate, an initial shareholder of Apple computers, and more. Forrest's success may seem unlikely due to his low intelligence, but the reality is that his environment never needed intelligence. His high self-efficacy, provided to him by the emotional support of Jenny and his mother, allow him to lead his life
with confidence, and at each stage of his life he is in a highly structured environment that does not lead him into abusive behaviors.
>>63423551
>From a social-cognitive perspective, Jenny's situation can be explained by her low self-efficacy and inability to find a healthy place for herself in society.
low eficacy is an effect, not a cause.
cognitive "science" cant explain shit. you wasted your money on a shit degree senpai.
>>63423545
>Daily reminder that you just got BTFO
show me the BTFO my friend, ill wait.
i hope the "BTFO" is not him calling me "european", that would be pretty silly and you know it.
>>63423649
Thanks for the clarification, it was constructive. I'm actually a software engineer and took psych 101 a few years ago for distribution, so no I don't think it was a waste. I'm just trying to make this board a little less shit because I believe in 4chan ideologically but think that it is crap content wise besides the memeing
>>63423842
Good for her, but she is the exception to the rule and I hope you realize that.
>>63423901
>I'm just trying to make this board a little less shit
then learn to condense ideas.
also, on "cog sci", its just labels for events that already happened, thats why it cant explain shit. get into family therapy theory, systems, all that stuff, theres powerful knowledge there with real life application.
>>63423747
I said that we did not want your pathetic political policies here and you launched into some tirade about how I'm brainwashed.
>>63421757
The problem with Forrest is that he never told her that he loved her. I'm sure if after nam he declared his love for her she would have left everything for him but he was just a retard.
>>63424085
>The problem with Forrest is that he never told her that he loved her.
t. beta as fuck.
she was damaged goods. she would respond only to abusive relationships, no place for love.
>>63424046
>I said that we did not want your pathetic political policies here
uwotm8. how would you know what are my political policies? jesus christ.
you got buttmad because you and the other guy claimed that hating cons and voting dems is beng lib, and i told both thats wrong, thats a fallacy. not my fault that your head can only see elephant and donkey people, with no shades in between.
Was this movie ahead of it's time in describing her or were women like that back then too? I thought all this hoe it out while you're young then settle for a loser stuff was a recent invention.
>>63424565
Usually hippie, liberal women of the time had that mindset. Then when the weed and acid stopped, and they realized they were in their 30s with no prospects or anything stable and they were tumbling down to hit rock bottom is when they decided to latch on to some pure lonely guy that would take them. Even though they were damaged goods, all because of "love". It also applies today of course, given how things are going now.
>>63421991
he also mooned LBJ
>>63422012
She gave Forest AIDS for Christs sake.
>>63423008
Stop posting on 4chan and do your research paper
The simple answer: Jenny chose counter-culture and fucked her life, whereas Forrest chose conservative American values etc...and made something of himself. Conservatives: the movie, basically.
>>63421757
Complete whore. A lying, manipulative, selfish piece of shit. All women are exactly like her, but at least regular chicks pull their crap on regular guys, not literal retarded folk.
She got pregnant by some other guy and then she knew what she had to do when that baby daddy left and she was dying. Lie for the last time to that little boy she never wanted to show her boobs.
Just, an awful, awful person. I don't care how fucked up your own life is, that doesn't automatically make anything you do okay or tolerable or justified. I feel so bad for Forrest, he's going to raise that kid with all the love he has even though it's not his sperm.
>>63424085
So it's okay to pawn your kid off on a guy if he doesn't say he loves you? His actions should have been enough, beating up that guy in the car and whatever else.
>>63421757
She was a victim that fell for the leftist lies of the sexual revolution and feminism and all that other hippy bullshit
A victim but still just dumb enough to fall for it all.
>>63426380
>All women are exactly like her
Here's your reply
>>63426301
Forrest was a guy who loved playing ping pong with chinks, volunteered for a democrat war, and said hi to a negress, and helped his hobo cripple friend out.
These aren't 60s conservative values
Monster imo
>>63422100
Yeah such a free spirit.
>>63421991
you forgot ping pong champion of the world bruh
