opinion of Jenny from Forrest Gump

[Beet]

FF, although I haven't seen the movie in 10 years. First of all she's a genuinely nice person, as we saw in the scene where Forrest meets her, and the fact that she stayed his friend and stood up for him through all the bullying he went through for his leg for literally a decade. That alone makes her a hero. But she was messed up by sexual abuse from her dad, which resulted in her having a troubled adulthood. Of course she wasn't attracted to Forrest because he's so dumb. That's totally understandable - but he has a crush on her anyway, and tries to intervene in her relationships. She runs off with some hippies/far left wing activists, who are portrayed as abusive because of the movie's agenda. But it's common for people who have suffered abuse to fall into those relationships as an adult. She is punished for her sexual promiscuity by getting AIDS. The kid at the end however, is Forrest's son. That's all how I remember it.
