Is Forrest's speech at the anti-war rally available anywhere?
Forrest delivers an impromptu speech at an anti-war rally in Washington DC.
The audience of the rally, and us the viewer, did not get the hear this speech due to the mic being disconnected. It is evidentially a moving speech due to the reaction given by those immediately next to him who can hear it.
Is there anywhere that I can hear/read what Forrest said?
Best Answer
Yes (apparently).
According to Tom Hanks, Forrest said:
“Sometimes when people go to Vietnam, they go home to their mommas 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.”
I say apparently as I can't find a primary source for the Tom Hanks quote. It's everywhere, but I'd love to find an actual interview where he says it.
