Rewatched Forrest Gump. Totally forgot how dark it is.

Great movie, but I hadn’t seen it since I was a kid myself. On rewatch it’s crazy just how many things fly under the radar when you’re young. From Jenny’s abuse, to all the characters suffering so badly that if you put yourself in your shoes for a moment, you wonder how they haven’t gone crazy.

Biggest shock factor for me was the scene at the start where Mrs Gump is essentially coerced into sex with the principal to get her son into school. As a child I had no idea - for some reason I thought the principal was just having an asthma attack in the house, which explained the weird noises he made.

Anyway, any other films you rewatched and were surprised at as an older person?
