Forrest Gump: Forrest joins the army (HD CLIP)

Forrest Gump: Forrest joins the army

What’s happening in this Forrest Gump movie clip?
Forrest (Tom Hanks) tells the story of how he joined the army and was a pretty gifted soldier while Jenny (Robin Wright) was getting fired from University and singing in a cabaret.

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.

The drill sergeant was one of the very few people who was decent to Forrest

[fvdwerken]

Drill sergeant loved him more than Jenny

[peternehemiah]

I bet the Drill sergeant smiled proudly when he heard Gump received the medal of honor

[RevinSOR]

His drill sergeant didn't see a man with a disability, he saw a man with drive and determination.

[mj]

I think the fact that Forest remembered how to run a shrimping boat shows that he was never slow. He took information literally and performed it to the exact instructions.

[penguintaco]

The Drill Sergeant had more faith in Gump than anyone in the movie. They should have had him and a interaction scene at the wedding. Lol

[adampena]

I love how you don't think Forrest is listening but as soon as Bubba stopped talking he looked up showing ge was listening the whole time

[kevinspiderkman]

“GUUUUMP, why did you put that weapon together so quickly Gump?”
“You told me to”
“Jesus H Christ”
Love this movie lmfao

[noorrougelewis]

He fits in the army so well because he does literally whatever you tell him to do exactly how you tell him to and a lot of people have trouble with that or need to be shown several times. He never whines or complains either, he just does it. However in real life, I don't know how well it would work for him because bootcamp is one big mental game.

[luckiller]

"smart enough to fallow orders, not stupid enough to make his own" Forst was truely the best soldier material

[rayzarr]

love how bubba never stops talking abt shrimp

[chinaman]

imagine censoring the word "Damn" in 2021.

[roffe]

Anyone else just got caught up and realised when the clip ended that you were just watching a clip on youtube rather than the actual movie? Thats how captivating this movie is. A true masterpiece of cinema.

For those who don’t know, OCS is Officer Candidate School. Many times there’s rivalry between officers and enlisted, which is why the drill sergeant dissed the OCS.

[ScreamingRabbit_]

As a US soldier I can confirm what Forrest says "It's not really hard. You just gotta stand up real straight, make your bed real neat and always answer every question with 'Yes Drill Sergeant'" is 100% true!

[MikeH]

I find it ironic, that

The one person who’s supposed to be hard on you and mean is somehow the nicest to gump, he was better to gump than Jenny was AND HE MARRIED HER

[emmeriankiwi]

I love the power he puts in when he screams "YES DRILL SARGENT"

[armaansharma]

This dude was the nicest drill sergeant in the world

[westrim]

Keep in mind that the drill sergeant knows for darn sure that Gump is below the Army mental standards, and is specifically targeting that - making him feel smart, making him understand that the smart thing is to follow orders and do his duties well, and demonstrating to all the other soldiers that the even the dumbest among them can excel. He's building Gump up and reinforcing the rest of the company by doing so.

[SuperNovaJinckUFO]

I love how Forrest genuinely takes interest in what Bubba has to say
