Why was this movie done?
Its just too good, too well edited, too big and feel good, and it makes you want to be american.
Was it ordered to be made to cover some shady move of the US government at that time?
>Its just too good, too well edited, too big and feel good, and it makes you want to be american.
Agreed pham, one of my top 3 films easily
Yeeeeah, i guess it is pretty fucking good, huh
>makes you want to be American
That's the last thing it wanted me to be.

This scene makes me cry everytime! not the end where jenny dies, but this scene and the scene where lieutenant dan yells "don't ever call him stupid" Is this one of those things "women will never understand" memes?
>>67949659
>This scene makes me cry everytime! not the end where jenny dies
i dont know anyone who gets emotional when the slut dies.
now the broship parts are the best, all the stuff with Lt. Dan after he gets his legs cut are incredible and lots of feels are to be had, Sinise is top notch here.
>>67949174
I really wish /tv/ had flags
RUN YOU STUPID SUNUVABITCH RUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNN
He's got aids at the end.
Yeah very nice film.
>>67949174
makes you want to be c-u-cked
Why yes, of course.
Every single creative person in Hollywood is controlled by the government. All these liberal film makers are on government's payroll churning them US propaganda films.

>>67949759
have to agree, the most feels come with Bubba
>>67949659
>where lieutenant dan yells "don't ever call him stupid"
Most powerful scene of the movie imo
>>67949174
>he's not an American
It's the current year, bro...
>>67951106
remember that time he mentioned types of shrimp?
I don't personally like it. It's hard to get away from the feeling that if you're a moron and don't do very much of anything, you'll inexplicably succeed.
>>67951267
>don't do very much of anything
Wut?
Reminder that Jenny was a whore.
Reminder that Forrest Jnr. wasn't Forrest's son.
Forrest is actually a dog and all the other characters are retarded and it's set in a rehabilitation clinic and his owner has leg braces from Vietnam. Bubba is the mailman
>>67951185
such a great character
>>67951267
This is the implication, that America's soul = Gump and anything that happens is defendable because of a naive innocence which allows them to defend or even feel good about unjustifiable actions.

fuck the new year's scene always gets to me
it's just so melancholy and everything looks so trashy, and every new years i can't help but think about it. i think it's the reason why i find auld lang syne and new year's in general so depressing
can anyone else feel with me here?
>>67951333
it's easy to call her a whore isn't it
>>67951829
Yes, in the same way that it's easy to call a spade a spade.
>>67949759
I was crying like a baby not when Jenny dies, but when Forrest is at the grave talking to her. Jesus fuck Forrest Gump achieved the level of emotion with me art house directors dream of getting. Zemeckis is not too shabby
>>67949174
tfw I bought the double cd soundtrack and it was a total meme machine. Ant pic for your annual eye test.
>>67949759
i get emotional when kid Forrest and Jenny are chilling on a tree

lt. dan is such a great character

>>67949174
Not sure if the replies are just trolls or confirming what OP is insinuating. Everybody liked *was hypnotized by* this garbage movie, including myself. It's a propaganda film for sure. Fuck. Read the replies in this thread. Brainwashed.
I get grossed out watching movies starring retard characters. Nothing feel good about it. Retards should be kept out of sight.
>>67953173
also:
>killing vietnamese

is that explored in the book at all?

Sounds more nationalist-libertarian to be honest.

>>67953847
sounds more like the typical liberal college grad who never worked a day in his life on the first point. and the second point it's more like the liberals will tax you until you wish you had aids and died because you can't make a decent living because you aren't a minority.

>>67954149
yes, when you are being oppressed. (white males are now the most oppressed social group) so yeah I can complain. I fucking earned it. (don't think so? ask all the black people who didn't go through slavery and still feel they are entitled to reparations) oh wait you can't cuz....? why? oh yeah your a pussy
>>67954190
anon, I love you
>>67951267
>don't do very much of anything
What? Are you fucking stupid? Gump never stops doing. That's the whole point,. If you never stop doing, if you never quit, you can get something out of life.
>>67954162
It was shit. Guess what: people with power tend to be authoritarian. It's always been shit, and it always will be. That's America.
>>67954276
Are you drunk?

Down here we're all drunk

he and jenny never fucked tho
been a while since i saw it so i might be wrong
>>67954276
You didn't earn anything. You're fucking pathetic to even feel threatened by welfare monkeys. I dropped out of college and still stumbled my way into a life miles and leagues away from people who, at best, earn 15k a year off the government.
You're a slob, a fucking parasite lashing out because other parasites are competing with you.
>>67954355
and socialism is what??? you're a fucking idiot hypocrite. go jack off to some cuck porn and leave the non beta's to real economics.
>>67950424
No he didn't.
>>67954632
You seem to be presuming that I liked Obama or Clinton anymore than Reagan or the Bushes. I didn't.
Say my name.
>>67954610
nah they did, when she came to his house for a little bit before running off again
it is the Baby boomers opus. Lt. Dan represents traditional conservative American values. Jenny represented liberal values. Forrest is the American dream. Who ultimately gets cucked and has to raise an AIDS baby.
>>67954624
have 2 degrees, no job and 20 thousand in debt. My gay black friend with no experience and no degree gets a government lab job at a drug testing lab over me because of affirmative action. My application didn't even get viewed even know I am more qualified. Waiting list for white male firemen is more than 8 years long in my city, they can't take any more white guys. military will not and can not take any more applicants who are white for officer training for 3 or 4 years. They told me even with 2 degrees I would be better off trying to level up from infantry. "no way we accept a white guy in to officer training"
>>67954775
Forrest represented traditional American values. Jenny died, leaving Forrest to raise the next generation, and passing on his values rather than hers. Think about it.
is forest gump the greatest flick of all time?
>>67954674
don't care! you're clearly an idiot.
>>67954797
Move to Denver. The fire department is almost entirely white.
>>67954822
So it's an metaphor for immigration?
>>67954857
Why do you say that? Because I'm distrustful of anyone who wants to lead the country, regardless of whether they're a conservative retard or a liberal retard? The American government has been shit for a very long time.
>>67954333
This was literally not the whole point. He just let stuff happen to him. He had no goals.
>LMAO I GOT DRAFTED LUCKY ME
>LMAO GUY INVESTED IN APPLE LUCKY ME

>LMAO IMMA A RUN FOR NO REASON LUCKY ME

>>67954900
Vote trump you idiot!
>>67954883
The message is that people who fall in line and live the way the government wants you to live will be rich and prosperous and responsible for the future of the country. If you don't, you die.
>>67954822
Nah, the other anon has it right. Lt. Dan is conservative America that pretty much died in Vietnam and was mortally wounded by it. It was only looking back into the American Dream (Forrest and Lt. Dan's relationship and the Evangelical revival) that conservative Americans were able to move forward.
Forrest is also the American Dream because of his relationship to Jenny. He doesn't admit or look back on the bad Jenny did in the same way that Americans tend to ignore what liberals and hippies did.
Further both shaped Forrest greatly and changed what he thought of life. Lastly, she probably had Hep C.
>>67954918
Trump is a circus ringleader. If you believe a word he says, you're just another mark walking down the midway. He knows exactly what to say, and you're playing right into his hand. I have to admire his ability to con people, though.
>>67954797
>has no concept of supply and demand
You wandered blindly into and out of school expecting the world to fall in your lap. (I don't blame this no you, I fell into the same trap). You need to grab the world and thrust it into your lap repeatedly until her husband is raising your son.
What do employers need? Forget race or sex. In terms of trade or knowledge what do employers desperately need? What resource or tech is on the rise?
>>67954822
>Forrest represented traditional American values
Disagreed. Forrest was too maleable and simple for that. You will remember he picked up the black students books and doesnt understand the term "coon". Despite him being raised in Alabama this scene indicated that Forrest was too simple to understand racism.
the whole movie is so "feelgood" it makes me sick at times, but throughout my life the one thing I remembered most about this movie was lt dan.
>>67955001
Maybe he represented an idealistic version that didn't see racism? Could have been a metaphor that there wasn't a point in in
>>67955074
could be!
i like the part where forest gets hit in the head with a rock
>>67949174
>feelgood
An AIDS ridden slut gave her kid to a poor retard to raise as his own. It's infuriating.
>>67955250
>Poor retard
He was a billionaire.
>>67955323
Yeah, he owned apple.
Remember that when you buy an iPhone the money go to Jenny's son.
>>67954982
Trump is an honest man and want's to make a difference. The media has corrupted you in to thinking otherwise. Sorry this won't work on me. Go back 10 years and look at how the media portrayed trump... a hero. now that SJW are in power he's a racist.
>>67954992
not blindly, the media and everyone I knew told me this was what I had to do. It's a fucking scam and nobody in the private sector gives a shit about college. wish the gov and liberals wouldn't have brainwashed me.
>>67955501
>Go back 10 years and look at how the media portrayed trump
>>67954982
Also everyone loved "the apprentice" all the work he did for charity... countless millions he raised for charity, it's pathetic how he is getting blasted in the media now, when only a few years ago he was one of the most admired and respected figures in america. the republicans can't control him and thats why they hate him. he won't play ball with all the people in washington and he has enough money that they can't controll him into making the country a socialist nations slowly, which is why they are terrified of him and started a smear campaign. I could go on but you libcucks believe cnn and not logic
>>67949174
Forrest Gump is probably in the top two films for me. There's just something about it that I love and I can't really put my finger on it.
I suppose because it's a very up lifting story about a tard who got goes through almost every important event from the 50- late 70s. The movie is also very emotional and I cried like a bitch the first time I watched it.
>>67955706
>admired and respected figures in America
>he actually drank the kool- aid
Holy fuck he's known for suing the shit out of people and being an all around moron. He could have taken up a career in finger painting and made more money. Not only that he usually drops the lawsuit and only does it to start shit. Please don't tell me you're that stupid anon.
>>67954992
love the "her husband raising my son" bit! fucking based shit man. I hope I am that badass and can figure something out. You're totally right man
>>67955706
>go back 10 years and look how the media portrayed trump

Show me facts anon... sources... oh wait you won't find any kek.
>>67949174
It always bugged me that he was a fucking cuck even when I didn't know there was a word for it.
>>67955910
>>67955910
Unless you weren't around for the last 10 years, like the underage faggot that you are, you'd know that he sued people for suggesting that he's a monkey and saying his hair looked stupid.
>>67955898
Evidence of what? he was a celebrity? didn't really slam him, only barely mentioned. This is like a bad SNL sketch that even less people than normal saw
>>67951889
You mean calling a spade ahoe
>>67956017
I ask you again! show me the actual federally mandated public record court case. it doesn't exist . good luck anon and at this point I think it's bait.
>Implying I wouldn't enjoy seeing Forrest Gump slowly stripped of his skin
Pretty shit character & you should feel bad.
>>67956025
Notice anon that's 10 years ago they're making fun of the state of the news. They're bothering to mention when fun Rosie O'Donald made fun of Trump. He's not always been portrayed in a positive light.
But it's cool you'll be sucking Cruz's dick soon enough.

Anon I...
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/7-incredible-trump-lawsuits-including-the-time-he-sued-himself-124327638.html
Sources said O'Brien that Trump's net worth was somewhere between $150 and $250 million. Trump claimed at the time that figure was more like $5 or $6 billion. Trump said those low figures cost him business deals and hurt his reputation. A judge dismissed the suit in 2009 saying that O'Brien did not attempt to defame Trump. In 2011, Trump lost an appeal.
>>67956198
so the "media" made him look like his worth was literally billions of dollars less than he was worth, and other companies tried to take advantage of that and he lost money? Right... no liberal media bias at all... and he's the bad guy? that probably fucked his business royally. and the mcdonalds coffee woman is a fucking hero? you libcucks make me hate america
>>67956164
He should of sued! made his billion dollar industry appear weak. Most people sue for way less and I bet you defend them!
>>67956128
cruz is a democrat! don't you guys get it? Everyone is a socialist democrat in politics and the reason cruz is running is to save face for the republican party when trump doesn't get the nomination and trump runs independent and splits the party up. The Republicans want the democrats to win, they are just trying to pretend like they don't by rallying against Trump
>>67951622
Yeah I feel with you. I don't like New Year's very much and this scene probably helped.
>baby-boomers the flick
yeah, nah you're a faggot
>>67949174
It was a Baby Boomer retrospective, nothing more.
>>67956402
>and the mcdonalds coffee woman is a fucking hero?
She got horrific burns on her. It wasn't some "durr coffee is hot" thing, that shit was like lava and she needed skin grafts after. It was completely unsafe
>>67957247
Ha ha yeah! and you just proved my point by saying "the person who got screwed gets to sued" Did she lose a billion dollars?... nope.
>>67949659
>>67949759
I shed a couple tears when Jenny died. Not because I cared about Jenny, but because I cared about Forrest.
>>67949659
I honestly only cried at this scene, it's his only good friend that understands him and he loses him.
Jenny can fuck off, she gave Forrest AIDS
>>67957486
true! the scene when forrest is at jenny's grave I don't feel anything for her... but I cry because he has such a pure and real connection with her that it makes real. I feel for HIM because he doesn't and can't know any better
>>67957578
>You will never know what that letter said
>>67956838
I honestly can't tell if you're actually retsrded or just this uneducated and tinfoil hat batshit crazy.
>>67957247
>coffee is hot
>a beverage known to be brewed and typically enjoyed hot is hot
>gets it on her skin
>expects to not be burnt
If you defend her you are a complete dolt. Lawyers will sue anyone for anything if they think they can win money out of it. This is just one example of the myriad frivolous lawsuits in recent years that make our legal system look like a fucking joke.
>>67957727
Just not a cuck. have fun raising your wife's son
>>67957804
Because we don't have sweeping consumer and labor protection in our country with compulsory trade union membership like many german companies are subject to civil suits that are affordable and accessible for calculable damages, no matter how 'common sense' the danger may seem to you, are literally the only protection available to the individual. What you cal frivolous lawsuits are the only legal tradition that stands between the United States based on common law and socialism you fucking retard.
>>67957727
um why don't you realize this fact?
>>67949174
>Its just too good, too well edited, too big and feel good, and it makes you want to be american.
>Was it ordered to be made to cover some shady move of the US government at that time?
Fun Fact: China, at that time, began to allow ONE US made movie in their theaters at the time. Naturally this was hugely popular. The first US movie they picked? Forrest Gump. Which remains to this day one of the most beloved movies in the People's Republic.
>>67951622
New Years in general is depressing. There's a big weight of false hope and promises, to others and to yourself, that are just near impossible to make come true.

>>67953173
breaking out in treats just reading this familia, there are a few parts of the movie that get me every time and this is the only obvious one but it's definitely the best. great scene.

And you fell for it
>>67954903
>LMAO I GOT DRAFTED LUCKY ME
And he was a hero, running back into enemy lines to save his men/friend. Clearly did something.
>LMAO GUY INVESTED IN APPLE LUCKY ME
After working tirelessly on his boat to save up money and then invest it, showing an evolution of the character. Again, working hard.
>LMAO IM THE BEST AT PING PONG WITHOUT ANY WORK LUCKY ME
Finally we see the mentally slow Gump have a natural skill in something, implying that everyone has at least one hidden talent. And he played and played and played to get better at it "sometimes I'd just play by myself" even. Practice makes perfect,
>LMAO IMMA A RUN FOR NO REASON LUCKY ME
When he was distressed from his girl leaving, he didn't curl up and die, he got active and literally ran through the country for four years. When he was having a tough time, he went back to something that made sense in his childhood. He did something and inspired people doing it.
>LMAO I HAVE AIDS LUCKY AUDIENCE
You're retarded and anyone who thinks Gump got AIDS is also retarded. The infection rate going from a chick to a dude is very low, unless the dude has a cut on his dick or something.
But other than that you're retarded. It's a good film and your arguments are not valid.
