That was a pretty accurate, if cynical, read of Jenny's role in the story. But that's definitely not a good summation of the story as a whole. Forrest is the protagonist and his relationship with Jenny is more a recurring blip on the plot than the actual plot itself. Forrest's story is fantastic and and compelling independent of Jenny. It's still worth a watch, I promise. Can't speak on the book, but I've heard it's good too.

I was kinda being mean just for the sake of the meme. I know there's a lot of nuance when it comes to Jenny and forest's relationship. I fall into the "it's understandable, but still not justifiable" camp.

I totally agree about the movie. Easily one of my top 10 movies
