Sur un banc, à Savannah, en Géorgie, Forrest Gump attend le bus. Comme celui-ci tarde à venir, le jeune homme raconte sa vie à ses compagnons d'ennui. A priori, ses capacités intellectuelles plutôt limitées ne le destinaient pas à de grandes choses. Qu'importe ! Forrest Gump, sans jamais rien y comprendre, a participé à tous les grands événements de l'histoire de son pays. Pas de guerre du Vietnam sans lui, héros médaillé qui organisa dans les cliniques des tournois de ping-pong pour les soldats blessés, encore moins de rock, puisqu'il inspira Elvis Presley et John Lennon, et point de Watergate non plus, car il se fit le dénonciateur du scandale en rencontrant le président Nixon...

00:00Hello my name is Forrest, Forrest Gump. Would you like a chocolate?
00:06Oh thank you!
00:08It's funny what a young man recollects.
00:10You're the same as everybody else. You are no different.
00:14Your boy is different.
00:16Are you stupid or something?
00:18Mama says stupid is as stupid does.
00:21I'm Jenny.
00:23I'm Forrest, Forrest Gump.
00:25She was my most special friend.
00:28My only friend.
00:30We was together all the time. We was like peas and carrots, Jenny and I.
00:33Run Forrest!
00:35He's stupid!
00:36Run!
00:37You wouldn't believe it if I told you, but I can run like the wind blows.
00:41Who in the hell is that?
00:42That there is Forrest Gump, coach.
00:44Just a local idiot.
00:46I never thought it would take me anywhere.
00:52They even put me on a thing called the All-America Team.
00:56Where you get to meet the President of the United States.
01:00Congratulations. How does it feel to be an All-American?
01:03I got a D.
01:05I believe he said he had to go pee.
01:07Now maybe it's just me, but college was very confusing times.
01:13Have you ever been with a girl, Forrest?
01:15I sit next to them in my home economics class all the time.
01:19Have you given any thought to your future?
01:21Girl! What's your story?
01:24What's your sole purpose in this army?
01:27To do whatever you tell me, drill sergeant.
01:29You're a damn genius. You are going to be a general someday, Gump.
01:33Yes, drill sergeant!
01:35They sent me to Vietnam.
01:37Then you promise me something, okay?
01:39If you're ever in trouble, don't try to be brave. You just run, okay?
01:42Okay.
01:43Where are you boys from in the world?
01:45Alabama, sir.
01:47You twins?
01:49No, we are not related, sir.
01:52For some reason, what I was doing seemed to make sense to people.
01:56Forget about me! Get yourself out!
01:58I've been awarded the Medal of Honor.
02:00How come?
02:02Now, my mama's always telling me how miracles happen every day.
02:04Forrest!
02:06Some people don't think so.
02:07Jenny!
02:08But they do.
02:11You can come home with me, in my house in Greenbow.
02:15I'll take care of you.
02:17Why are you so good to me?
02:18You're my girl.

02:23Tom Hanks
02:25I'm not a smart man, but I know what love is.
02:29Robin Wright
02:31Will you marry me? I'd make a good husband, didn't you?
02:35You would, Forrest.
02:38But you won't marry me.
02:41Gary Sinise
02:42I never thanked you for saving my life.

02:52You're gonna have to figure that out for yourself.
03:18The world will never seem the same
03:21once you've seen it through the eyes
03:24of Forrest Gump.
03:26My mama always said,
03:28life was like a box of chocolates.
03:31You never know what you're gonna get.
