Forrest Gump: Named after his dad (HD CLIP)

Forrest Gump: Named after his dad

What’s happening in this Forrest Gump movie clip?
Forrest (Tom Hanks) finally arrives at Jenny’s (Robin Wright) house and meets her son who’s name is Forrest as well. He discovers that he actually is the father of the young boy.

What’s the movie Forrest Gump about?
Stupid is as stupid does, says Forrest Gump (played by Tom Hanks in an Oscar-winning performance) as he discusses his relative level of intelligence with a stranger while waiting for a bus. Despite his sub-normal IQ, Gump leads a truly charmed life, with a ringside seat for many of the most memorable events of the second half of the 20th century. Entirely without trying, Forrest teaches Elvis Presley to dance, becomes a football star, meets John F. Kennedy, serves with honor in Vietnam, meets Lyndon Johnson, speaks at an anti-war rally at the Washington Monument, hangs out with the Yippies, defeats the Chinese national team in table tennis, meets Richard Nixon, discovers the break-in at the Watergate, opens a profitable shrimping business, becomes an original investor in Apple Computers, and decides to run back and forth across the country for several years. Meanwhile, as the remarkable parade of his life goes by, Forrest never forgets Jenny (Robin Wright Penn), the girl he loved as a boy, who makes her own journey through the turbulence of the 1960s and 1970s that is far more troubled than the path Forrest happens upon. Featured alongside Tom Hanks are Sally Field as Forrest's mother, Gary Sinise as his commanding officer in Vietnam, Mykelti Williamson as his ill-fated Army buddy who is familiar with every recipe that involves shrimp, and the special effects artists whose digital magic place Forrest amidst a remarkable array of historical events and people.

"Is he smart or ..." - one of the most heartbreaking moments in the whole movie.

[jessedellross]

What breaks my heart in this scene is Forrest asking if his son is smart.

Forrest knows he’s disabled. And he doesn’t want that life for his son. A life of mockery or pain.

[jahangirhussain]

“He’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen...but..is he smart, or...” - one of the most touching lines that I’ve ever heard in a long time.

[miamitten]

Forrest lived a full life more than anyone else. His ‘disability’ removed self doubt, fear and lack of discipline. His mentality was a strength.

[ParabolicNorth]

I'll never forget when I watched this in the theater, after she told him that she named him after his daddy...someone in the audience screamed out, "RUN FORREST, RUN!"
The whole theater was screaming in laughter.

[adamrobinette]

"Is he smart, or is he....", gets me every time. Even after everything Forrest accomplished in his life, he still saw himself as not intelligent, and was worried his son would be like him.

[xofmetleh]

One of the best movie ever. He is afraid that his kid might be like him . Heart really is stronger than the brain

[ProjectGrim]

2:56 this part is so powerful because Forest knows that he's not normal and that that he's got a "disability"

[HatunTashDCCIMinistries]

Watching Tom Hanks's facial expressions here is a masterclass on acting.

[CLGuy]

“Is he smart or….” The man doesn’t want his son to end up like him, being mocked and ridiculed for his lack of intelligence. just goes to show that Forrest might not have the biggest brain, but he does have *the biggest heart* considering how caring he is to everyone around him. :)

[Panwere]

The fact that Forrest was self-aware enough to wonder if anything he did was wrong and to have Jenny let him know that he didn't force anything on her, that made the movie that much more intensely human.

[farkasmate]

That's the most heartbreaking scene of all time. I always cry on it. Pure loving from Forrest for Jenny.

[cecillec]

Tom Hanks really can act. One of the best movies ever made.

[satan]

“He got a daddy named Forrest too” cracks me up everytime 😭😂

[andrewdunckley]

Forest achieved everything a man can possibly achieve, yet he does not want his kid to be labeled dumb... Powerful...

[benjamess]

This is humanity at it's finest. If you know someone like Forest Gump in real life this will bring tears to your eyes every single time. He knows he's not smart but he's a better person than most even dream of being.

[MaddawgMar]

For everything he lacked in intelligence, Forrest made up for in Character. His unconditional compassion and love. I don’t think I’d ever forgive a woman that hid a pregnancy from me and had the kid and waited 5 years to tell me. Yet Forrest only cared about their well being and not the precious time he lost with his son.

[hothotheat]

The way he “asks” to talk to his son without saying the words is such a lovely, human moment.

[NoFirstNoLastName]

I think one of the sweetest things is when he says, “He got a daddy named Forrest too?”

He wasn’t jealous. He was so excited to hear about another Forrest, because he was simple enough to find that fascinating. Jenny had become a mother. He was looking at her child, who happened to share his name. He was happy for her. Had he not been his child, that would have been okay. He still would have been happy.

Forrest was such a good person that seeing Jenny happy, even if not with him, made him happy. I think that showed his own growth as a person. Idk if he would have reacted the same when he was younger.

[TiVoGlObE]

His life of pain, mockery, bullying. He didn't want that for his son. It's every father's wish to see their son/daughter grow up to be like them but not Gump. That's a heartbreak
