Wow. I haven't seen the movie or read the book, and after reading your comment I know for sure this is not the kind of story or movie I would enjoy
It’s very easy to describe movies in a way that make them sound very unappealing. This movie is amazing tho, watch it!
It's way better than that snippet of one character's flaws. It's a "don't miss" type of movie.
That snippet isn't what the movie is focused on. It's just the actions of a side character, who has a big effect on the main character's life sure, but it isn't what the movie is about. That's like saying LOTR is something you wouldn't enjoy based off nothing but a description of Gollum's role in the story and nothing else.
That was a pretty accurate, if cynical, read of Jenny's role in the story. But that's definitely not a good summation of the story as a whole. Forrest is the protagonist and his relationship with Jenny is more a recurring blip on the plot than the actual plot itself. Forrest's story is fantastic and and compelling independent of Jenny. It's still worth a watch, I promise. Can't speak on the book, but I've heard it's good too.
I was kinda being mean just for the sake of the meme. I know there's a lot of nuance when it comes to Jenny and forest's relationship. I fall into the "it's understandable, but still not justifiable" camp.
I totally agree about the movie. Easily one of my top 10 movies
