[StannisTheMannis_]

Lt. Dan is my favourite character of the movie, his journey is absolutely incredible. I’m happy he got his happy ending.

[StudioNostalgik]

I love how he seems like a side character who is just a one-dimensional Army Guy and how he becomes this amazing, well rounded person who turns into Forrest's best friend. It's so great.

[chrisrivard]

I’ve always felt that Lt. Dan wasn’t thanking Forrest for Vietnam, but for saving him from what he had become in New York.

[TheZoidberg]

I love how it's the first time Dan calls him Forrest. Before that? It was always Gump

[fdetomajr]

This scene has such a great message, LT Dan was able to get past losing his legs and became a better person because of it.

[altorres]

I’m really happy that he didn’t screw over Forrest with the money and everything else you can tell he really meant it when he said I never thanked you for saving my life that right there gets me in the feels

[pshangkuan]

Remember Forrest wrote Jenny 100s if not 1000s of letters and she went to become a slam piece at a hippie commune. Forrest wrote one letter to LT Dan and he left his apt in NYC to come help his friend…what does that tell you about those two characters??

[himmick]

Truly one of the most amazing movies ever made. This movie always manages to get a tear out of me.

[Bobaklives]

It's a shame you cut off the lines right before it starts: He had just told 2 people on the bench about their unlikely success as the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, and a man laughs and doesn't believe Forrest is the same person as the famous company as he leaves, but the old lady scoots closer with a kind "Well, I thought it was a very lovely story, and you tell it so well, with such enthusiasm." Then we get the beginning of this clip where he shows her the proof that his story was real and she looks like "oh god, this halfwit really did manage to do it..."

[durveshdaryapurkar]

this is the most heartwarming and my personally favorite scene from this movie...

[leroystea]

The scenes with Lt. Dan are my favorite in this movie. So much heart was given to his character who played off of Forest Grump in such beautiful and funny ways depending on the scene. This is my favorite scene as well as when him and Bubba first met Lt. Dan. Wonderful.

[Mike-hgfn]

I’m so grateful to have seen this at the cinema when it first came out, there has been nothing this good since, this is a masterpiece.

[JasonVoorhees]

He truly has one of the best character arcs of any movie. War hero ltn - turned crippled. Bitter about life. Saved by his simple soldier friend twice. By the end of the movie hes a complete person-married- and with magic legs. Seemingly happier then when we first meet him.

[Buschwick]

Lt Dan had already showed what Forrest meant to him in that hotel room on new years before Forrest had money or a shrimp boat. That scene got me good.

[ronniestar]

I always though Lt.Dan was appreciative of Forest saving his life, he was just to stubborn to admit it

[CaesarInVa]

One of the most poignant, and tear-inducing moments, in cinematography, in my opinion. You can see the sincerity in Lt. Dan's eyes.

[headfuzz]

Incredible / beautiful scene, I get emotional every time 🥲

[GregHardy-idpv]

This is one of the greatest scenes in movie history, get me every time. The cinematography was first rate and merged into one with this story of realization and redemption. Lt. Dan came to the realization that dying in that jungle in Vietnam was not his destiny in the end, being saved by Forrest and becoming Forrest's "brother" was---

[spidermancentro]

He wasn't scared to die. Rest in peace

[headfuzz]

No.1 solution, take care of your feet Lieutenant Dan!…
Such a good film, and Lieutenant Dan’s relationship with Forrest is so special!

The hero who saved him 😌🥲
