"I just felt like runnin" is still one of the best line ever (I wonder how many miles Tom Hanks ran during the making of Forrest Gump!).

Hi everyone! What grade (out of 10) would you give this video?
9.7
The song top ten running on empty and bob sega agents the wind

i think this is fake

Forest was a Vietnam vet, Medal of Honor recipient, all American football player at that point yet he is described as an "Alabama gardner" on the news lol.
@@jmc_51 yeah also that xd
Also a ping pong champion.
@@destroyerblackdragon and a shrimper
@@andrewp.3781 That parts redudant. He was a miiliomaire becuase he was a shrimp boat captain. Also because his partner made some good investments.
He also owns part of Apple 😅
One of my favorite things about this movie is the recurrence of the phrase "for no particular reason...."
the moto for life itself, and that isn't a bad thing, its liberating, actually
@@albertsaffron7582 I agree. It is very liberating. Everyone always wanted there to be a reason. Lt. Dan thought it was his destiny to die on the battlefield, for example. And all those people running behind Forrest expected him to have "all the answers." There had to be a reason, for them.
Anche io , è fantastica quella frase :" Senza un motivo particolare :".
And that "no particular reason" inspire a lot of people..
So that's where the phrase came from.
“I decided to go for a little run.” *Proceeds to run for 1170 days and 16 hours.*
He just felt like running.
If he called that little run i’m worried about an average run or big run
Imagine if he wanted to do a big run
@@TheRecklessBravery LOL imagine
When bro says he’ll be back on in a minute
“I’m tired. I feel like going home now” Alabama is a pretty good distance from Arizona.
He was rich enough to get transportation back home.
he spent 3 years running across america, i think hes not bothered walking to the next airport
alabama and arizona both start with A so they are probably pretty close
@@MrHecc yeah they both border Alaska 😂
@@MrHecc so it's close to Arkansas too?
This scene is so relatable because sometimes people just want to run away from things. For awhile.
Yes. Also want a reason for everything. He doesn't need any to run.
Yeah I do run away from something Like an angry dog , chicken , goat , cow , sheep and especially the police
This movie is the main reason why I appreciate movies about life lessons than entertainment.
You can run without going anywhere.
USA
Mad respect to the camera-man. He ran all the way with him. What a legend
ok
That joke is so fucking old and unfunny
@@joshemane ok
@@joshemanefrom your profile pic, thought you would be happier than be a troll
how would the camera man be able to fly tho
I like to think Lt. Dan sent people to check up on Forrest and made sure he was ok while he was doing this.
He was a celebrity basically, he wouldn't even need money for food/holtel. It would be free advertising. And he has money in the bank by that time from shrimping.
There probably also was someone with power of attorney over him to make sure he was cared for. I imagine once people started running with him, it became a little more organized. That many people would need to be supported by a convoy of vehicles.
@@J_Gill Not necessarily. They're running from town to town. As long as you made it to various towns to act as pit stops you could probably keep a surprisingly high number of people going as long as you don't stay in one small town too long.
"My mama always said, You got to put the past behind you before you can move on.”
This phrase, for me, hits the nail directly on the head. Whenever I had a bad up to a terrible situation the stigma always "rented space" in my brain. When that happened that's when the alcohol and drugs came into my life as a suppression tool. Now that I'm nine years clean and in a 12 step program I can utilize the phrase "Get out of Self" when these situations crop up. My God definitely helps me out along with this too.
You forgot too add and I think that’s what my running 🏃♂️ was all about
@@marka.graffakasnakebitenat3736 Congrats on your 10 years of being sober!!!
I rode a bicycle across the nation 3 times. Up and down both coasts a few times. 31 states. 6.5 years. I've been called crazy and Forrest Gump so many times you wouldn't believe it.
But you haven't posted any video or stories on your channel related to that epic work.
its on the gram. Yeem3.14 and yeem2.0
@@jantelliquawallace355 what is gram, yeem.. sorry to ask but I never heard of these app so..
the first word is insta. The second word is gram. Gotta be careful with my wording. The computers don't like me talking about it.
No you didnt stop lying or provide proof
He unintentionally had made it some kinda of "running cult" 😄
I would consider it the best cult ever, or the only good cult, that I would follow
"My mama always said, “You got to put the past behind you before you can move on.”
Or a running joke.
Not really a cult if he didn’t take advantage of any of those people.
He didn’t make the cult, the first person to follow him did. Forest doesn’t say anything meaningful, so he’s perfect for a cult leader to project onto him any meaning they want.
Kinda amazing that he ran on roads for 3+ years without getting run over by cars
If the dude can outrun a truck from his bullies, football players, bullets and bombs. I'm pretty sure he has nothing to worry about.
I hear ya deer try it all the time.
Especially on the roads of that era😂
Especially since he seems to run mainly on the right side of the road, its better to it on the left side so you can see if a car will go around you or not.
Not really... they had too many cars there.
Seeing how much Forrest runs this far just shows how much he was really trying to run from Jenny memory. As he stated that he think about the people he lost over the years and of course lt. Dan who not dead that it showed that He trying to run from things that stresses him out cause they aren't in his life anymore. Jenny the main focus cause he really cares about her. Seeing her gone gives him that anxiety that he running to stay focus on moving on. It's a deep meaning that only a few who gets it knows.
Or he just rün.
Jenny was a horrible person when you think about it.
@@taylorc2542 you dont have to think about it whem tou watched the movie, she is a horrible person. The worst thing is she left a child, thats identity is unknown if its forrest child or just some douchebag son.
Poor stupid guy. So many better women.
@@bieateofan2251 True. But however gotta understand that Jenny was his best and only friend growing up. They were buddies. However Jenny grew up with her abusive father who sexualize her and didn't grow up with a mother nor siblings. Her journey towards s*x and drugs is her "running" to her father. Of course this took place during the 50s, 60s, and 70s. As much as I think Forest is better off without her, but at the same time she was really damaged and Forest like a best friend always there for her. Seems like whenever a guy comes into a woman's life who can fix her and yes this does sounds like simp talking, she always runs away from the nice guy and runs towards abusive guys who wants to use them as products. Including when it takes advantage of her kids. Which is really f* up. Forest is 100% innocent who he is. I was surprised by when they interview forest during his running that they didn't includes his other success like his shrimp boat career and other things as well. But I guess when this was made that they forgot about that part or the movie was out of order during shoot. However Forest really loved Jenny not for s*x nor as a simper as people would put it. But as a friend to the end. Running was the only thing forest was good at and he uses it to run away from his ghosts. We all been there. It's never easy letting go of someone you willing to die for. It is what it is bruh. But luckily for him he got his chance to be with Jenny to the end. Even though people would say that she only with him cause of her disease which I think she didn't know at the time or it was not as bad as it was before she married him. I don't know. Anyways I'm getting to deep into it. I'm sure you don't care at all and he needs to move on and stop being "beta" as some would put it. anyways have a good one fren
One of my favorite parts is how his intricate face just becomes a smiley face.
hahaha
Have a nice…day! 🙂
How someone could imagine this Masterpiece?
a handful of benzos and coke
It is really amazing how movies can be created. I missed the old days when movies were like this
@Vicious then the same question could be asked about the book if it was the case 🤣
@@J040PL7 Groom was inspired by both a 60 Minutes segment on savants, and hearing his father recall a slow-witted childhood neighbor in Alabama, he thought such a character made for a good protagonist.
@@xjcrossx if you miss the “old days” when movies were made like this, you’re watching the wrong movies today
Being 29 years old and going through a heartbreak at the moment, I now know why Forrest started running for as long as he did. He was trying to get rid of his unbearable pain after everything that’s happened to him in life.
Im 22 and I've been through the same thing I've lost 3 family members years ago and a few days ago I was rejected by a woman so I decided to delete all my social media's and start truly working out to get my mind away from all that pain not caring about my looks anymore growing a struggle beard with messy over grown hair and told myself not to return until February 2025
It is a long road before you realize you don't need to run anymore. Unfortunately long
I know that feeling. I had a bad breakup 4 years ago. The first month of that was the roughest part.
I know. Many of us figured that out.. guys will do all kinds of risky, crazy things in life to numb the pain they go through..
My guy ran for nearly 4 years… and THEN he got tired and decided to go home . Forrest Gump was the Chuck Norris of common men. A true hero.
He’s either got no feelings in his legs whatsoever, or he’s just beyond athletic and can run for more than two years without stopping.
Did you miss the part where he said he stopped to sleep eat and shit
@@infamoussaint04 still though, that’s still hours of continuous running per day. Even dedicated marathon runners get hella tired after running a couple hours of marathon
@@infamoussaint04 Challenge for you: Run for 1 week straight with breaks being exclusively to "sleep eat and shit" It shouldn't be that hard for you, right?
@@megarboh790 well, marathon runners run a lot faster
@@megarboh790 Bro, it's a movie
I remember thinking about the logistics of the running arc. He ran with no support, alone for most of it. There are many areas in America where there is hundreds of miles between civilization. He carried no food or water. Try running 100 miles without water, even worse in a desert area. I have heard of people replicating the "Forest Gump run" but they have support people in cars with food, water and camping gear.
He was an all American football player. A Vietnam War veteran and a lifelong runner, so I guess the fictional character of Forrest Gump could probably do it.
What he's doing is just not possible. Nobody can run continuously for 8+ hours per day without stopping periodically for food, water, etc.
@@ThePlaton20 But he did stop to eat/sleep/etc
@@TrainedCreeperDavid Goggins would agree.
@@ThePlaton20 There’s a literal line in the movie you chose to ignore that contradicts that he “Ran for 8+ hours per day without stopping periodically for food, water, etc.” 1:09 Did you just ignore this? Forrest says he stopped regularly to eat, drink water, and do necessities because he wanted to continue running.
1:58 For some reason, this place seems so nostalgic to me. I just love how the scenery looks and reminds me of why my favorite season is Autumn
Me too.... It's like visiting the grandparents house in the countryside to have a picnic with cousins when we were children
It's the Jenne Farm in Windsor County, Vermont. You're welcome.
3:20 is very nostalgic to me, I love Appalachia and it’s filmed on one of my favorite mountains in my area (Grandfather Mountain)
@@lesfauvist I was going to guess Vermont. NY and Pennsylvania have many areas like that too.
Whoever filmed all those nature spots did a fantastic job. I'm a nomad traveling around the country and they totally grasped just how beautiful and vast the United States is
"I'm pretty tired, think I'll go home now" This is what a guy said to me after a one night stand, never saw him since 😪
For real?
idk if i should laugh or not
@@tropicwalker6948 why wouldn't you it's hilaruous
Deserved
Underrated comment
I feel so free each time I watch this scene
In the moon?
It's because there isn't anything being pushed. No philosophy or reason only action. On top of that it's constant movement seeing new beautiful places. Traveling. On the road. Free from all responsibilities good and bad. True art.
nigga you have an anime pfp
I first saw this movie when I was 14. I'm 42 now. I think I finally really understand why Forrest was running.
Rin
Why?
Escape the pain of his reality. Jenny
@gturcott1 correct Allan turing is a runner
He just felt like running
We were so lucky we got to watch movies like this in history class back in high school days.
Fr. I watched it a second time in my English III class
I’m watching it in my AP euro class currently after the AP exam
@@ligetisspaghetti5763 In 2023, that is literally a blessing. Please embrace something most high-school students will never experience.
@@sethderusseau3429 wdym we’ve watched it twice
2 perfect songs with this scene. "Running on Empty" by Jackson Browne and "Against the wind" by Bob Seger.
I particularly like “It Keeps You Runnin” by The Doobie Brothers. 🔥🔥🔥
Also go your own way Fleetwood Mac
“On the road again “ by Willie Nelson
@@NinjaBuddha503 why did willie nelson get hit by a car? he was playing on the road again!
Its Against The Wind by Highwaymen
You can run from your emotional problems *Forest:* So anyway, I started running
Fun fact: This whole cross country segment, and most of the other running scenes were filmed by Tom’s brother Jim Hanks, who looks and sounds very similar, and was the only one who could master the “Forrest run”
Forrest is the perfect showing of the human spirit. he accomplished things no man may ever come close to accomplishing. yet even he doesnt have his life figured out and sometimes needs to run away from it all. everyone sees him running and assumes he has a destination. when in reality Forrest just felt the call to run
Beautifully said!!!
That's the main morality. If you wanna do something, don't ask anyone's opinion on that, don't think too much about it, don't even ask yourself "Why?". If you feel for it, just f*cking do it straight up.
“And for no particular reason I just decided that I would go run to the end of the multiverse. And then I decided-“ -The final words of a legend.
“To run until I see god, still haven’t found him yet… I’m tired I’m going home.”
At least he didn't decide to swim across the ocean....
Ain't gonna lie.....Forrest Gump got me into running. Now on my 4th full marathon & 9th Half marathon. ⚓️
My favorite movie, i’ve watched it hundred times et still enjoy it everytime i watch it again, this movie is a master piece, story,soundtrack everything is perfect
You would think he would win every marathon
No. But he'd run every marathon
@@professorx3060 yeah he might not win but he would do them all without struggling
He would finish every marathon 1 hour after the Kenia and Ethiopia runners with skinny long legs
Kinda crazy that Forrest got that much money in his pocket to buy food for 2 years
He probably only eats small and maybe eat some more free food if he is lucky.
@@adamharith782 what about pooping situation
@@rayrsd He did say: "When I need to, well, go..... I just go." Implied that he just poop and pee somewhere people cant see or public bathroom.
How did he go sleepong
@@SYDAirlineEnthusiast Well, gas station, sidewalk and public toilet exist my friend.
I just felt like running
Look up ultra running
This is basically the life of David Goggins, like, fairly accurate to how he is except the yelling.
Goggins must of loved this movie
"Quiet Quiet he's going to say something". When they were already quiet way before then💀💀
It’s like saying SHHHHH louder and more annoying than anyone could’ve been talking
One of the most inspirational scenes in cinema history!! Love this movie so much!!
My computer program when I accidently create an infinite loop...." I just felt like runnin"
His resting heart rate has to be like 30 bpm.
He must have godlike cardio
This is so funny thinking about how HARD the heart would be beating at 30 bpm Yes it’d be slow but every beat would make his whole chest vibrate
3:17 "You can go your own way". This scene gave so many people hope, all around the globe!!
"I just felt like running" Being able to do everything he did because a really simple though is something i really, really wish to have.
Damn he has a lot of stamina
He had those stamina tonics. A sufficient abundance of them 👀
well he was a veteran
@@sophie________Veterans aren’t able to run for years almost non stop.
@@matthewjones39 he took breaks of course
@@sophie________ The only breaks he took were to sleep.
A man so simple, yet so complex. RIP Forrest!
Why RIP? He never died on screen and he's a fictonal character, so technically he's still alive
Yeah sometimes, people just keep going if they're not told to stop or that they can't do something. I remember when I was 10, I rode my bike from Charleston to Hollywood(The South Carolinian one) by using the greenway and later riding along the sides of the highway including some bridges. I eventually made it to my grandparents house after like 4 hours of biking and when I was asked why I kept going I just said, "I dunno." The thought of just turning around, for some reason, never occurred to me. I'm lucky I wasn't kidnapped or run over.
Damn! He sure can run for a long time. But on one hand, doing that for three years, two months and two weeks, that's one way to get in shape or get your exercise. But on the other hand, right after things between him and Jenny turned out the way it did and he just went running. That was probably the only way he could express anger, sadness, frustration and possibly his way of venting.
"For no particular reason" became a motto 😀
Can't tell me this ain't one of the greatest movies ever.
It's strange but it just never spoke to me. I'm pretty sentimental but something about it just never worked. Oh well...
@@haitolawrence5986ts just about doing something cause you feel like it and such you know. Just not having worries or anything and just “living” and experiencing life. He felt like running so he ran then he stopped when he felt tired simple as. You not supposed to feel any sort of emotion or take something away form it. Thats why it got so big. Which is why i find the fact you included the word sentimental to be just kinda wrong.
He never got tired or blisters, his shoes didnt break,always found a place to eat and sleep ,with no money on him.
Probably had credit cards since they were invented back in 1966. Or spent his left over change in his pockets wisely.
If he took off his shoes, he'd probably be fine. Humans used to hunt by running their prey into heat stroke, meaning we're built for the long haul. Blisters on our feet are from lack of necessity to be able to sprint across continental distances, but I'd imagine it'd still be doable. Running on hot pavement or concrete is a different story entirely.
but he is rich
He’s a millionaire and credit cards are a thing…
That just shows the amount of stamina he had, truly amazing
Man runs across the us non stop multiple times and at the end of it just says “i’m pretty tired, I think I’ll go home”
This clip is the literal definition of "It's not about "Why?" - it's about "Why not?""
this whole scene brings tears to my eyes every single time
I come back to this scene whenever I need to feel inspired.
I really love how this scene’s idea of “keep on going” can apply to our life, even after something we’ve invested so much in fails on us, we keep on going. We can still stop to rest and eat, but we keep on going. Even if you reach a dead-end again, turn around and keep on going!
Just like i said!
I love the practicality of this sequence. There’s a thousand ways to represent someone “running” from their problems. But with Forrest, he literally just fucking runs lol.
That's what happens when you have an IQ less than 80 and tend to think everything literally.
Run Forrest run.
watch Lola rennt
Keep doing what you doing, and people will eventually follow you
For better or for worse, as history will show.
It took Forrest 2 years to cross the US 2 times? According to Google Maps, it would take 34 days to walk from Savannah, Georgia to Santa Monica, California. Accounting for rest and pace, it should have taken him 10 months to cross the US twice.
Well they did say he crossed it twice and then kep running so they do not actually specify how much he actually ran, only how much time
One assumes he didn't take a direct route, he went all over the place.
He crossed Mississippi River 4 times. I believe he doesn’t have a proper route or even a map. he just wants to run
Forrest didn't have Google maps. And damn that's all it takes? That might be fun.
Taking an unoptimized route from coast to coast probably. I wonder how long it would take someone to run across America in a giant zig-zag pattern.
A great film, one of my favorites, and a wonderful Happy Birthday to Mr. Tom Hanks!
This video gets a 10. It begins and ends perfectly. The middle is priceless!
I love how he has all of those following him and decided I think I'm just gonna go home. God bless Tom Hanks he does so much good for our WW2 museum in New Orleans if you decide to go there I would recommend packing a lunch because you won't want to leave it actually makes you feel like you were there
* watches David Goggins once *
they don't know me son🗿
One of the best scenes from movies at all.
For all of my entrepreneurs, it took two years for people to notice him. And one initial follower that brought forth other followers .
This scene hits pretty hard, sometimes we feel like running away like Gump
Guys, i think we finally found who is going to carry the boats...
your damn fkn right
And the logs
What a masterpiece of a Movie ❤
For me this message is about achievement. You think is impossible or too small, but you start and once you get, you want something bigger.
I only just figured out this but, He met the president, got the medal of honour, went to Vietnam, was a football player, a tennis champion, did cross country for 3 years, even came up with the classic “shit happens” slogan, had a successful shrimp business, and even got a job or share offer at Apple. All of this and his mother died his love of his life died and his best friend bubba, it’s such a great movie and the best thing about it is, Forrest wasn’t even smart enough to realise what a life he’s had he just did it because he wanted to do and is humbled.
The end of his running is the most ANTICLIMACTIC part of any movie I’ve ever watched.
What magical movie.
Such a great movie, so many life lessons are in there.
This shows how our society works if you do something people dont expect they are surrounding you and asking for reasons and they wont stop until you do or you will give them a reason
The fact that this is a metaphor for "you cant out-run yourself" just shows how amazing this movie is😢
One true legend
As a runner, I wish to one day have that level of stamina and passing.
Same. And sometimes I feel like I just need to physically run away from all my problems.
What a masterpiece never forget watching it as a kid
The music here is just incredible. So fitting.
( ESTOU CANSADO) Quero voltar pra casa! Foi demais essa cena.
at 3:18, this curve is located on grandfather mountain in north Carolina and it even is called the forest gump curve
David goggins looks up to him
Looks like this man can carry the boats and the logs
Pre-internet was truly a different time. No instant fact-checking/searching
My all time favorite movie.
i don’t know how to describe what i feel watching this oddly enough though it helped me.
Forrest Gump is my absolute favorite movie, and for some reason this is my absolute favorite part of it.
This movie is such an American classic.
Imagine chasing this national icon who had been running for years on end just for him to suddenly stop an decide to go home
I’m training for a marathon, and I can assure you this is impressive.
definitley one of my favorite movie moments of all time
I always pause this video time to time to allow Forrest to rest.
*Bro maxed out on stamina*
This ain't Forest Gump, this is straight up Pops from Regular Show!
Legend says, he's still running to this day.
Scientifically accurate even the slightest: Forrest would of died from Sudden Death Syndrome after putting his heart through impossible strain
If not that, his knees would be FUCKED from all the running.
Not necessarily no. There are people on record who are able to jog at a pace that’s comfortable enough for their body that they can continue to do so effectively indefinitely. Such as Dean Karnazes. It’s not like Forrest was sprinting, he was going at a pretty relaxing jogging pace so there’s nothing physiologically impossible about it if he’s got good genes.
@@LordofFaet instead his health should improve, right? I mean if you've been jogging like that regularly everyday, then that's good for the heart isn't it?
Bro he was the fastest football player of all time, survived Vietnam, and was in the commercial fishing business for a long time. Casually jogging for a couple years straight isn’t going to strain his heart that much.
I sort of agree with you there. However as LordofFaet mentioned he was jogging at a moderate pace. As the scene continues you can see Forest’s clothes change which could indicates he had stopped at a few places along his journey of traversing the American lands. Which would have given him time to rest and continue to run the following day. Plus he seems to be in better shape than the average person. He seems to have incredible endurance and the motivation to keep going. Then again who knows? Realistically speaking perhaps his heart would’ve gave up at the most random time despite being a pretty good runner.
Forest Gump formally known as Legs of Steal.

When I survived the titanic disaster, I was so grateful to see the floor, that I ran from New York to Albany, as soon as I got home. I will be 88 in March. Thank you for your service Tom
