I liked that Forrest was an obedient guy , he did what they order to him, like in the army , he díd exactly what he was indicated to do in how to clean the weapons , and never complain , even he makes so Many times he díd it better and faster..
he didnt have a plan for life but he made a plan to acomplish his promisses like how to Start buba gump bussiness, he knows he wasnt so smart but he knows who will , so he called lt. Dan to Work with him.
And finally he knows sometime he will be with Jenny so he must be prepared , because he knew that if he was thinking a lot in her maybe she was too and one time must meet.
