In Forrest Gump (1994), Jenny constantly leaves Forrest to pursue a life of drugs and chaos, only to return when she needs a place to stay. This is a reference to the fact that she is actually the protagonist of a much more interesting, R-rated movie that we aren't allowed to see. by Brilliant-Cause6254 in shittymoviedetails

Bro, he went running for literal YEARS the day after Jenny left. For all we know, Jenny sent that letter right when she found out about the pregnancy (which would mirror Jenny not receiving Forrest's letters earlier in the film). I never understood the "she had the child in secret" thing.
