Terminator 2 is still watched and shown to people, Forest Gump is kinda dated now and pretty bad as Forest is taken advantage of and kinda a simp had he not had mental issues.

The fact no one every told him Jenny was a giant whore and walking STD factory was insane. He was a simpleton yes but atleast give him a good woman as there is no way in hell he deserves to have a whore like Jenny probably conning him into raising some other dudes child.

Wasn't aware there was a backlash against Forrest Gump. I guess I get it but man I feel like I'm gonna be the hated boomer in another 15 years. I kinda see the movie as just a rundown of the second half of the 20th century more than anything.

It's also possible Jenny gave him AIDS. She already boinked him once, I find it hard to believe she didn't throw him a lay or two while he was taking care of her and Forrest Jr.

There's a dark ass sequel lol

In the real world she would have and he would have died slow and painfully. The movie would never go that route as while realistic it would be a very cruel fate for Forest.

And Jenny had him sign over his "fruit stocks" to some hippy ex of hers back in California. Forrest dies penniless and alone, after losing custody of FJr to the state. Before he slips away, he sees his ping pong record shattered on a black and white TV playing in the hall

Jenny didn't have AIDS, she had Hep C, which isn't generally considered an STD

I saw Forrest Gump but was immediately repulsed. Just struck me as Horatio Alger-type bullshit. But most people - then and now - seem to think it's a great flick. If pressed, I just change the subject.

Jenny was one of the only people in his life that didn't abuse him in some way. Why shouldn't he be with her?

Did not abuse him ?, her going and being the whore of a bunch of other men knowing Forest loved her is some serious emotional abuse. To then saddle him with a child that might not even be his and only stay with him as she was dying since no one else would have her is fucked up.

Jenny is one of the biggest abusers of Forest since she knows he is slow, knows he loves her but decides to be a whore anyway and even tells him to leave her alone as she gets in the van of a dude that most likely bangs her is disgusting.

What she did on her own while he was in Vietnam without having ever committed to him isn't abuse.

The two were in her college dorm and just showing forest her boobs gives him an orgasm. She was clearly trying to sleep with him before he joined the military.

After he is in boot camp she poses for playboy magazine and becomes a stripper. While on leave he goes to see her in the strip club where she even says after he saves her that she doubts Forest even knows what love is before getting in a pick up truck driven by some random dude who she probably bangs as payment for a ride somewhere.

Jenny was an emotional abuser and a hoe, she used Forest when it was convenient.
