Forrest Gump

Interesting that you mentioned Forrest Gump, because I was just about to post that the scene at the end where Jenny has died, she's buried on the Gump property and Forrest is standing at her grave talking to her is so moving. Forrest has loved Jenny since grade school. She accepted him just as he was from the moment they met and he adored her in spite of her demons. Hearing him talk to her beyond the grave was just heart breaking.

You died on a Saturday morning and I had you placed under our tree. And I had that house of your father's bulldozed to the ground. Mama always said dyin'was a part of life. I sure wish it wasn't. Little Forrest is doing just fine. 'Bout to start school again soon. I make his breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. I make sure he combs his hair and brushes his teeth every day. I'm teaching him how to play ping-pong. He's really good. We fish a lot. And every night we read a book. He's so smart, Jenny. You'd be so proud of him. I am. Here, he wrote you a letter and he says I can't read it. I'm not supposed to so I'll just leave it here for you. Jenny... I don't know if Mama was right or if it's Lieutenant Dan. I don't know if we each have a destiny or if we're all just floatin'around accidental-like on a breeze. But I think maybe it's both. Maybe both happening at the same time. (Forrest chokes up). I miss you, Jenny. If there's anything you need, I won't be far away.
