Ok, this has been bothering me. In the movie Forrest Gump, Jenny tells Forrest he named her son after his dad. Forrest then replies with, "He got a daddy named Forrest too.?" So that would imply his dad's name was Forrest Gump as well. It can't be though. Forrest Gump was not a Junior. His dad's name was never mentioned in the movie. The movie states his mom named him after Civil War Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest, who was also first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, and a supposed ancestor of Gump's. So wouldn't that line Forrest uses be wrong?

You assume Forrest was saying he had a father named Forrest when he said, "He got a daddy named Forrest too" but he wasn't. First Jenny says his name is Forrest. Then he says "like me?" Then she says she named him after his daddy. Then he says "He got a daddy named Forrest too". Not saying his father's name was Forrest but in addition to Forrest being named Forrest and the kid being named Forrest, the kid's father was named Forrest too. Then Jenny enlightens the idiot that he is the kid's father.

Forrest Gump is not dumb. He only took in a child with a mother who has aids and never been tested. Dudes a boss

The movie was better than the book.

"You had me at hello"

Does that mean he had her, past tense. She was had. And when she means hello, does she mean the first time they met and he said, "Hello"?

Therefore she was had, the first time they met. Is Forrest Gump her dad?

I propose they remake it with Tom Cruise as Gump.... and Oprah as his mom....with Chuck Norris playing Lt. Dan....
