One of the most significant scenes from the movie was Forrest’s speech. He stands proudly before a curious audience in Washinton, D.C., to deliver such an intriguing speech. Then, the microphone cuts out, which was a total shame.

Forrest did have something important to say after all. “Sometimes when people go to Vietnam, they go home to their mamas without any legs. Sometimes, they don’t go home at all. That’s a bad thing. That’s all I have to say about that”. What a meaningful speech that could have been.
