this is like top 4 in my letterboxd. i love it so much def my top romance movie. the way you would think she is the bad person but she was just dealing with so much in her own life she didn't have the mental capacity to love him. and he's just too precious for this world. i feel like we often see characters like forrest be portrayed as "dumb" or can't fend for themselves but he really proved the opposite and showed me that anything is possible despite what background you come from.
