this movie ruined my life

what made this movie so remarkable is that It was one of very few at the time that did not glorify how smart someone is, and instead taught how how many hundreds of times better kindness is. And that, in my opinion, is a very underrated thing. 

Something that I think goes over a lot of people’s heads at this scene is why Jenny reacts the way she does. Her mom died when she was a kid and her father sexually abused her so the police took her away to live with her grandmother. So when when she grew up, she had a lot of problems going on that were a result of her bad childhood.

She doesn’t say, “I don’t wanna marry you.” She says, “You don’t wanna marry me.” A lot of people misinterpret this and call her cold and heartless for it but she’s not refusing Forrest because she doesn’t love him, it’s because she doesn’t love herself.
