He hopped out the chair He had forces back though. Yeah, he did.

Oh, and he called it in Oh Dang for us, you didn't even know he said they must be looking for a fuse box They look at hard for a fuse box I have your discharge papers services up son. Oh, let's go. Hey, this really is like a like an all-american Your free agent because he is just in a green man or woven in it If it wasn't for Forrest, a lot of things wouldn't happen in us history So I went on down to buy a laboratory to meet bubba's family and make their introduction They kind of got a nice spot. I paid my respect to bubba himself Hey bubba, it's me force gone. I'm taking the $24,562 and 47 cent what it that's left after a new haircut new suit And it took mom out to a real fancy dinner and I bought this ticket and three dollars He's so honest with bubba.

Life is a box of chocolates forest I never know what you're gonna get She had got the cancer and died on a Tuesday and that's all I had to say about that Now because I'd been a football star War hero and the college graduate this city falls the green bow alabama decided to get together and offered me a fine job I never went back to work for lieutenant dying though. He did take care of my bubble gump money He got me invested in some kind of fruit company Apple I'm saying we don't have to worry about money no more and I said that's good One less thing That's all one less thing I gave a whole bunch of it to the full square gospel church Look at the rainbow The battery fishing hospital I gave Bubba's mama Bubba share She didn't have to work with nobody's kitchen Look at her and cuz I wasn't gov zillionaire and I like doing it so much I cut that grass for free He was like a zillionaire. He said I thought that was real at first me too I really don't remember this movie as much as I thought I would to be honest My dad bought one of those llamas one time just to have it and it was so uncomfortable. This is a good lawnmower though This is a pretty spot a lot of grass to cut though. She was there It's so sad how she just keeps popping back up though almost like she's using them in a way I mean not quite but jenny came back and stayed with me Every day we take a walk and I jabber on like a monkey in a tree And she'd listen about ping ponging and shrimping and mama making a trip up to heaven Whoa, that's her house. Yeah, it looks so much different. Doesn't it so she's back to like the source of all of her trauma really? Yeah Times I guess there just aren't enough rocks We was like peas and cats again I love that he keeps saying that they're like peas and carrot She gave me the best gift anyone could ever get in the wide world That's the shoes he was wearing. Yeah And it was the happiest time of my life Will you marry me? I'd make a good husband jenny you would forest But you won't marry me. You don't want to marry me Why don't you love me jenny? I'm not a smart man, but I know what love is Forest was ready this time. Oh, so they're gonna be together now She's just a ram one woman, baby. We're not Well, you're running off too. That's just so sad man. He doesn't deserve that at all And she left the medal do you think forest makes her feel inadequate? I don't know That day for no particular reason I decided go for a little run So I ran to the end of the road and when I got there. I thought maybe I'd run to the end of town He's a running fool when I got there. Maybe I just run across green bow county Maybe I just run across the great state alabama. That's what I did. I ran clear across alabama I ran clear the ocean what in the world Santa Monica when I got there. I figured since I got on this farm might as well turn around just keep on going That's how we are when we walk sometime. I got when I got hungry. I ate when I had to go You know I went So he just was a cross country runner. I guess so Wow That's beautiful though. That'd be wild man to run across the country. I really would but you need a water bottle on deck That'd be so much more unique than like driving it Yeah, because you could actually like go places you couldn't in a car and see the cracks in the road, you know I just couldn't believe that somebody would do all that running for no particular reason Why are you doing that he keeps saying that no particular reason some reason when I was doing seem to Make sense to people. I mean it was like an alarm went off in my head, you know Here's somebody who has the answer. I'll follow you anywhere, mr. Gump. I got you think that about the red guy And then even more people join. Oh my god Listen, I was wondering if you might help me, huh? Listen, I'm in the bumper sticker business and I've been trying to think of a good slogan Wow, man, you just ran through a big pile of dog shit It happens What shit and some years later, I heard that that fella did come up with a bumper sticker slogan and he made a lot of money off of it I was running along with somebody Here use this one. Nobody likes that color anyway Well, some years later, I found out Man picked him up for an idea for a t-shirt. He made a lot of money off of it I had run for three years two months 14 days and 16 hours Think I'll go home now if it's still there Oh, hell no, look at all those people. Do they think he had an answer or something? They thought they was just running for higher meaning. I guess another purpose is shot And just like that my running days was over so I went home to alabama One day I had a blue clear sky got a letter from jenny wondering if I could come down to savannah and See her and that's what I'm doing here Wow You don't need to take a bus Henry street is just five or six blocks.

Of course, then you were worth it yours And I'm for scum. That's the same bus driver Man, I know that feeling I've had that one tons of times What a way to end it man. Oh Does the end seems like it that's how they started it Okay, guys, that was force gone, babe. There's your first time watching it. What do you think about that movie? Gosh That was like one of the best movies I've possibly ever seen in my life You know, I loved it. We say that a lot on the channel. This is one of the great movies But you know what we're reacting to really good movies over here, man If it's winning our polls is probably an all-time classic movie for sure So a lot of requests to watch that's one that one. That's why we put it in the poll Um, I just thought that was an amazing movie, man. It really brought me back. It was nostalgic This movie had so many lessons in it. I really thought the movie was like a time capsule It just brought me back to a different time. It was very nostalgic to watch it I forgot the storyline and there was a lot That went on with the story which was really an odd story basically at the end of the day But there was a lot going on that I forgot about there was so many little things that Forrest Gump said that Just made me remember I guess the first time I saw the movie So it just goes to show you how time once it is the reason that I say it was an odd story, man because there was no Like main objective, you know what I'm saying every movie has like the main thing that the hero has to get over and then You know, you know how that goes. Well, I feel like he kind of did it was Jenny Yeah, that was what he was chasing the entire movie So Forrest basically started his life out disadvantaged He came from my house a single mom house at that everyone said from a young age that he would basically amount to nothing I mean a lot of people's heard this story before he was handicapped also So he basically started like at the bottom in a lot of different ways, right? Yeah, absolutely. So Started at the bottom man and it wasn't until he went through trials and tribulations and was eventually Forced out of his comfort zone until he really like opened up and eventually he started running and the symbolism was great But he literally ran until he broke out of the braces Which was like in a way. I'm just Coming to I guess you could say And you know as a kid he was just very socially awkward and there was just one constant in his life And it just started from a young age and it was it was like a really beautiful thing But in a way like it kind of wasted his life away because he spent his life Jasoner but that faithful day when that little girl said that you can sit by me on the bus like that day Really changed his whole life. Yeah. Yeah. Did you think about lost them the episode the constant when you thought about jenny? No, I didn't oh, I did that that had me thinking about that so hard just because like Everything forest went through no matter what jenny was the one thing like That remained the same even though she didn't remain the same But his feelings for her did I'm was sitting there trying to decide how I feel about jenny It's really hard to say. It's very difficult. It's hard for me to speak on she came from a very broken home Right. Her dad obviously was abusing her in the end guys. I did catch that she died of AIDS Okay, so I'm pretty sure that that's what the implication was because she got a virus that no one had a cure for and She was a product of like the woodstock era and like the free life So forest was on the fighting side of it and she was on like the The prototype like there was the whole like protest side You could even see in her apartment at the very end of the movie. There was still symbolism of her past Like there was a lot of like You could just see little pieces in her apartment He's not even as like an adult that you could make parallels to like her past So yeah, basically jenny was someone I hate to say it I really hate to say it because I loved her character. I really did but she was someone who was kind of screwed up Man, she from a very young age Didn't receive love from someone who was supposed to protect her and care about her Instead she was abused by that person and I think that it just shook her world Like it just shook her world. Oh, yeah, I did it not and then made her go down a really bad path But like luckily it seems like when she found out she's pregnant. She turned it around because She had air conditioning like forest head. Well, jenny was someone jenny's the most Jenny seems to be the most Interesting character in the movie for sure, right because forest is just simply guided by his heart But jenny's not so simple, you know deep down. She's a good person. She loves forest I really do believe she has a love for forest, but she keeps chasing the same men that her dad was like A lot of women who suffer that trauma tend to go with Like they can they tend to deal with that because they feel like that's how they're loved by That kind of relationship when they've been there. So I mean well said You could just see she was rambling like just all the symbolism like even like just all of her life choices Basically, she was just trying to run to other people who could make her feel like she fit in I guess But when but it was interesting because then when she did have everything Like she did have the family life. She did have forest. She did have You know the beautiful picket fence and the dream yard and the great when she had all that It just wasn't enough for her. Right. She saw her run. She like will she chase pain and suffering? Yeah, she kind of thrived in it. She liked it and that's just one of the things it's hard to admit sometimes But sometimes we just we like The toxicity of it all she just seemed like someone who she just wasn't destined for a normal life And you know, she even said like from a beginning like she just wanted to chase fame She wanted to be famous on the stage and you know, I think as you mature and become older and become like more Of an adult you realize like that's not all it's cracked up to be I mean if someone's gonna pay you a lot of money to go sing on the stage It's gonna come with a ton of stipulations and Forest just blindly just loved her and he loved her all the same like no matter what and That to me was like, I don't know like if it if it like because to me it sucked for forest, you know, because He had to like love someone over and over who constantly just kept like, you know, let him down Yeah, pretty much But in the same way not because it gave him his son who was like everything to him You know, I think what the movie also is trying to say is like love doesn't have to be your idea of it You know And that's easy to say if you're you know defending jenny It's a lot harder to say if you're forced I'm sure he'd rather had like a traditional type of love But I think ultimately it just is so much symbolism like Forest just represented like the innocent kid and everyone, you know, like force runs to force runs They tell him grab the ball and run and dude, he'll run It's just very black and white. There's no like gray areas or anything in between and jenny kind of was the gray area, you know She was everything in between and I think as adults We grow up and we really lose sight Of the idea that if you just stay present in the moment and if you just put one foot in front of the other I mean life's very simple, you know, a lot of the social anxieties we feel a lot of You know The addictions we have a lot of that stuff really is mental, you know force was just showing us that If we can all just stay in that childlike mentality and just love unconditionally But also learn from your experiences because in this movie Every step of the way forest learned like so much about Everything and like even meeting Bubba and like keeping that promise keeping that promise to lieutenant dan Like all the people in his life just were really like God, how could I say it? How could I have the right way to say it? Well, ultimately forest was someone who who served his he lived his life in service, right? And he was a very unselfish person and I think ultimately in the end After he had lost Certain people like there was still people who would show up for him because he earned it You know what I'm saying? He really because he showed up for them. Absolutely He did and yeah, man He was just someone that from a young age could have made every excuse and could have felt sorry for themselves But at the end of the day he woke up every day and just he just didn't overthink things man He tackled life. He tackled life in a very just Just a great way man. Just a very I don't know man. Just take life by the horns type way I just thought it was a beautiful story. I thought the music was great. The symbolism was I love how they added to to the story like He's waiting at the bench and he's telling different people for the full circle and just like their reactions to it is I love that touch. It's it's amazing Everything from 94 so far that we've seen has been amazing Yeah, this movie was so good in a lot of ways But another thing I wanted to mention is how this movie made me feel internally because like I said I have seen this movie before And yeah, what what was the like did you like it better now? Oh, I liked it so much better The characters and this was great. Like I love bubba's character Bubba meant so much to force bubba really taught force so much About keeping your word. He taught him a different perspective. He taught him that sometimes you got to do things to keep your word And it works out and it's for other people other than yourself So bubba's family was able to get out of the kitchen and they were able to finally retire and stuff and it just goes to show you man that At the end of the day, it's just a network of people man and what you do the decisions you make Regardless of how you feel your intentions are what your motives are it affects other people man And sometimes you just do the right thing and wake up and just do your best good things will happen to you And I really do believe that still holds true today I know it's really discouraging sometimes in the world, but but this movie really made me feel nostalgic I feel like uh, yeah, man, nothing was really different. I didn't really remember the story Like I said, there was just a lot of little one liners and stuff that I kind of remembered I guess yeah, it just made me it brought me back to a place of just feeling At ease man, like, you know, it really reminded me of being a kid and I have to think about bills and stress and Who knows man? I've never in a million years would thought I'd be sitting here reacting to force gun On the internet at that time I can tell you that I cannot believe I went that long without seeing it like all like I've seen so many references and you know some of those quotes I noticed but The only thing like meme wise I noticed was there's like force companies waving on that boat that's crashing Yeah, I've seen that meme before This is one of those things I have so many thoughts because we could go through all the scenes of this movie And just break down how beautiful they were. I mean everything from lieutenant Dan just the way he was supposed to die on a battlefield and Forrest did the right thing. He saved on lieutenant Dan didn't have the perspective yet to see it that way But you know, he had a life to live to and he went through his own experiences and it just all came full circle This was such a full circle movie. Lieutenant Dan eventually walked became happy Became married and had a wife found purpose and there's just so many things that would have been possible Without force and force gun could mean a lot of things guys He could be a metaphor for just someone in your life. He could be a metaphor for someone who inspires you You know, obviously, there's no real life force gun But it just goes to show you you don't have to be a brilliant genius. You really don't have to do that Sometimes just Is it your best? Yeah, just caring about your mama and just Taking care of your family and just going to work and doing the best you can do Sometimes it's really all just Like he could have been faced with so many choices and he just shows like the right path Well, you know, force gun didn't have a selfish bone in his body and I think that's one of the things that You know, one of the things of this movie is he seems to be the happiest character. Well, in a sense I don't know his mama seemed pretty happy to Yeah, she was just and you know, a lot of that rubbed off on him Yeah, yeah, for sure And every person that force met you could see a little like, you know It just had a little bit of of his life in him Basically force could have spent a lot of his time saying why me but he said he just thought of other people And it just seemed like that was just his formula to a really fruitful happy life So I mean, he even said it in the movie like he was a gazillionaire and it just made him so happy He cut that grass for free. I mean if you really think about what that means guys, I mean, that's that's force in a nutshell So just a selfless dude like that's the best way you can put force to go Yeah, somebody that we should all strive to be like 100% absolutely And this is one of those another one of those movies where We're just happy we're we're sharing a feel-good moment with you guys Patreon especially you guys because you chose this and you knew this was gonna happen There was so many parts in this movie though that are just gonna stick out to me forever Like when he says uh, keep your socks dry and he's like, I sure hope I don't let him down And then uh, then it rains for like three months or something Yeah, and then uh, Bubba goes you just put your back on mine and I'll put my back on yours Is that a way we don't got to sleep with our heads in the mud. I just certain things like that man I just loved it. Um, they just sort of feel good. Like well, there's a lot of There's a lot of quotes in here that I'm gonna be saying my favorite I think is I must have had 16 Dr. Peppers. I think that's my favorite Is it 15? What was your favorite uh, Forrest got one in this movie? Hub, I had to be just the just the me and Jenny go together like peas and carrots Like I just love that just because it's so cute. I like when Forrest goes And I was scared but Lieutenant Diane, he was mad or angry or something. Yeah, I was yelling. Yeah that part He's like cussing to the wind Man, that was good. That was such a good movie Again patreon, you can always pick what okay at the end of the day babe. What is the point of this movie? Honestly, I just think it's a way for us to like watch a really quick like little like, you know Fast little pace thing about like the American life like from 1940 to like 1978 I definitely think what the movie is about is just don't get too ahead of yourselves, man Like just stay simple, you know at the end of the day if you become some football star Or you know, whatever the case may be if your dreams come true And whatever your this movie was basically about the American dream in a lot of ways 100% 100% this was about the American dream And it basically goes to show, you know, even if you become rich and famous no matter what you accomplish You're never bigger than where you came from Uh Forrest had the world. Literally. I mean he he could have accomplished anything you wanted At the end of the day from rainbow Alabama And at the end of day all he ever really wanted in his life was to just feel the love of Jenny And to just be with his family ultimately and I think the point of the movie is it doesn't matter if it's the year 2023 or if it's You know the 1920s whatever the case may be man Just care about your family just slow down a little bit try to not Wib beyond your means and just enjoy the good things You know what I'm saying because this movie really made me think back It just made me nostalgic I guess because it got me thinking about like seventh grade and like my friend Michael I met and how I used to quote the movie and I just got to thinking like those were just such good times Right easy times Such easy good times and I understand that that's just because we were younger and we had like adolescent minds and We didn't have like the stresses and the responsibilities and we didn't have like all we had to care about was like frizzy hair Not like bills Well, there's there's something very bliss about being ignorant to things too. So yeah It was just very easy back then it was nostalgic And I think a lot of the truth is his life could be a lot more like that if we chose for it to be You know at the end of the day back then I didn't have cell phones and computers and all that But I mean I make that choice right and it was just really nostalgic times man It just reminds me I don't know man a movie like this will just make you want to hold the door open for somebody a hundred percent And as an american I suck for not watching this, you know, I'm saying. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely All right guys, uh, like comment subscribe hit us up on patreon This movie was absolutely incredible if you enjoy content like this Just, you know, like the video that'll let us know that you want to see more videos like this because to be honest We kind of branch out into like three different categories because we got game of thrones going on right now We've been on a marvel run since we started the channel because I've never seen any of those marvel movies Like at all wasn't really a fan of superheroes growing up We're still continuing on that journey and then we're trying to put out some really just one-off type movies that are really And mostly our patreon's pick So if you guys want to be part of the vote you can go over there Well, we're trying to nominate movies for the polls that are culturally relevant that we haven't seen But are also highly requested right and also movies that are going to help us watch other Movies going forward because early on on the channel guys just a little bit about our history We reacted to scary movie. It did really good for us. We really enjoyed the movie It was so much fun to just laugh together and experience that because neither one of us has seen it And I think 90% of the comments was just letting us know that we didn't get 90% of the references So I'm 90% sure that we need to watch 90% more movies Yeah, we'll watch it. So so this was a good start because there's a lot of references in future life that I needed to know from this movie Absolutely. I don't know what is a better character Captain Miller or Forrest Gump, but I know one thing Tom Hanks You're an absolute legend, man. Uh, if you're in it, I'm down to watch it So if you got any more Tom Hanks films, you're trying to get Yeah, comment your favorite Tom Hanks movie below. Yeah, let us know this one, right? This has got to be the best one. Well has to be saving Private Ryan Have me feeling some type of way when I watch it though, you know, but you is that one a Tom? Yeah, but at the end of the day that one's about war and when you watch a movie about war It just brings a certain darkness Over my spirit in a way that this one elevated my spirit that movie in a sense made me feel very Depressed and dark maybe in a way So I didn't get in this do you think there's like a half and half like when you say Tom Hanks Some people are like Forrest Gump and some people are like Captain Miller Um, or do you think some people are like Woody? You know, you might be surprised how many people like Woody Woody. I mean, I mean, let's be honest, man Like these two characters are iconic, but Woody's pretty pretty iconic. There's a snake in his boot Someone poisoned his water hose, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, we all know that Tom Hanks is awesome To be honest, we've both seen that and you haven't seen this Right If that shows you what I was watching back then, you know what I'm saying? Yeah Like that's why I wasn't watching this right like stuff like that Well, like I said man, I because we didn't have movies and stuff So my friend Michael was all like, you know, Forrest Gump and around the hallways all the time So I was just like not understanding anything he was saying to me and so dude, I figured out a way and I watched it I don't even remember where I got the movie. I'm pretty sure my neighbor had it the same neighbor I told you guys about in my uh Your neighbor had all the bangers Well, he did have quite a few movies and didn't they have Lord of the Rings? But my dad and my parents wouldn't let me watch rated R movies, you know Um, I don't really think that he really cared so much. My dad just really liked roles And my neighbors just wouldn't really let me watch things unless it was age appropriate because they didn't want my dad to go They're mad. So Yeah My dad didn't let me watch this one and I can I can see why because there was like drugs in it and stuff So I can assume that's why I wasn't allowed to guys come hang out with us again We're gonna keep reacting to stuff like this. That was for his gump. That was amazing Are we just hanging on here because we don't want to always do like we always say we get one chance in life to document a movie Like force gump and you get one chance in life to see it And so when we watch these movies like this, man It's really hard to get off the recording because you just don't want to there's no force gump part two And I'm not please don't remake it though. Please don't well, you know guys I could make a three-hour podcast breaking down every little scene and piece of symbolism and element and every Motive and eye gesture of this movie and to be honest that actually kind of sounds fun to me because I really like talking about these movies But I can't do it right now man because I didn't know you're right out some script We just watched it fresh off the dome. So I don't really remember all those details particularly But I do remember the movie obviously, you know, how can and what's your favorite way to eat shrimp comment below Right. I think mine is fried and over some rice and vegetable. Oh, you do. Yeah. All right guys. That's it. Peace
