    jenny was fucked up. forrest was her best friend. but he was too close to home for her. she couldnt be with him because of that. despite that she knew he was a safe place for her. but she didnt think she was worthy of him. oh did i mention she was fucked up.

    i dont think she saw him more as a brother figure. and i think thats what a part of the problem was. she didnt want to take advantage of him because of his 'slowness', burdening him with her baggage and so felt the need to distance herself from him when he was getting too close. in the end though she realised the only person who would take care of her and the baby would be the baby's father.

    Females: Jenny... poor thing, she was all messed up. She didn't really know what she wanted.

    Males: Fuck that skank, she should've OD

    But the thing that really bugs me is that Bubba died. Coolest character (after Forrest of course)... Shrimp is the fruit of the ocean, you can boil it, sauteé it, fry it... you have orange shrimp, coconut shrimp, shrimp caserole... Dammit, I feel like shrimp now.

    yeah, but it's still being selfish and using him for her own benefit. she managed to see past his slowness when she needed help

    and yes im that perfect that if i were jenny no way would i have gone to the one friend i knew i had in the world and who i knew would never turn me away. id lay down in a gutter somewhere give birth and die and allow my child to never know its father. :rolleyes: :p:)

    jenny knew forrest deserved more than that. and so did she, it just took her a while to realise. tis very difficult to allow yourself to love someone. and yeah she needed forrest.

    not saying she wasn't smart....makes sense to go to someone you know you can rely on. she needed him when it was convenient for her, regardless of his feelings....that's the point i'm trying to make.

    so were suppsoe to make decisions based on what the other person feels and wants regardless of how we feel and what it is we want? she needed him, he allowed her behaviour. its not always so cut and dried. forrest could have told her to fuck off.

    probably cos Forrest's mum was a slut
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    no you make decisions based on how you feel and what's right for you, but without screwing other people over. it's called being decent :)

    and for him to tell her to fuck off? she knew he would never do that to her. i got the impression she used that to her benefit.

    hahaha check us out. arguing over a fictitious character in a movie. :D

    were both right, cause thats how it works. the intended message is void once something someone created is exposed to a third party. as an artist you should know that. :)

    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    At the end of the day, I don't think anyone can judge another person. Forrest had more problems than her to the outside world but she was much weaker than him and struggled to find answers. This is the beauty of the film.

    I think she aways loved him but life got in the way... ?
