Forrest Gump Forrest Gump was born and raised in Alabama. He wore leg braces as a child to straighten his back. As he grew older it was easy to see that Forrest was "special". He would have received an inadequate education (he wasn't smart enough for regular schooling) except that his mother traded sexual favors to have him enrolled. He met his friend Jenny in school and falls in love with her. After a few years of struggling in school, his talent for running was discovered by a college football team. He received a full scholarship to play football. After college Forrest enlisted into the Army and met his best friend Bubba. Forrest excelled in army training. Later on they are shipped out to Vietnam where they both meet Lieutenant Dan, who later becomes a major part in Forrest's life. During the war Bubba explains his lifelong dream of owning a shrimping boat to Forrest and offers Forrest a job on it. Forrest agrees that after the war he would be happy to help. Bubba died in Forrest's arms before the war was over and Forrest saved almost his entire platoon (Lt. Dan lost both of his legs), earning a Medal of Honor and Purple Heart for his efforts and injury to the buttocks. While recovering from his bullet wound, Forrest realizes he has an incredible knack for ping pong and practices everyday while in the infirmary. After he's shipped home to receive his medals, the government uses him in ping pong tournaments to extend relations for the first time to a communist China. After his success, his service to the Army was over and he returns home. Through the years he was seen on television and several talk shows and during one of his trips he reunites with Lt. Dan. Forrest spends the New Year with him and offers Lt. Dan a position his shrimping boat that he plans to own (because of his promise to Bubba). Dan accepts and they part to go they're seperate ways. Forrest uses his endorsement money from his ping pong ventures to buy the shrimping boat and visits Bubba's family to let them know of his intentions. Dan eventually hops on board and at first the two are unsuccessful, but after Forrest continually prays there is a gigantic storm. Dan confronts "God" and his own inadequacies during the storm. They survived the storm out at sea and every other shrimp boat was wrecked in the harbor. The shrimping industry was theirs and eventually they make millions of dollars with Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. and they invested in Apple, making even more money. Forrest gives half of the money to Bubba's family (following up on his promise). His mother died on a Tuesday. She had cancer and gives him her last wisdom on her deathbed. Throughout his entire life Forrest has encountered Jenny on several occasions and each time he expresses his love in one way or another. Each time Jenny rejects him and moves on with her life, but one day she seeks him out and they conceive a child. She rejects him again and runs away. In return Forrest has trouble accepting this and decides to go for a run. He ran for years from coast to coast until eventually he comes to terms with his past. He returns home and works his life away mowing the football field for free ("he had all that money"). Two years later she lets him know that they have a child and asks Forrest to marry her. After a few years being together she dies and Forrest is left to take care of his child alone.
