Did you ever wish the movie “Forrest Gump” ended differently ?

Hi and Welcome to the Movie Rewrite of Forrest Gump. If the term “ Trials and Tribulations “ ever suited someone, it would be Forrest Gump. What a full life of ups and downs he experienced. Everyone in life goes through things, but Forrest having been challenged physically with his legs as a kid, and having a very hard time learning in school had it even tougher. From the early days when kids picked on him, to being an outcast in college, not being with Jenny (the love of his life ), the Vietnam War and so on and so on. His life was almost too much for anyone to endure.

Let’s ease some of his pain. Forrest was born in 1944 in Greenbow Alabama, and at the age of 24 years old, he came across a book named “CHAЯLY “ in 1968. This book was about a mentally challenged man who underwent a surgical procedure that was increasing intelligence in mice. Forrest immediately went to California to speak to the person who wrote the book. He desperately wanted to know if it was based on a true story. Upon meeting the Author of the book, he was heartbroken to know it was fiction. Nonetheless the author pointed Forrest in the direction of a biotechnology company that specializes in altering Personal Genomics.

He pledged to the company to use him as an experiment, and if it goes badly, Forrest assumes all the risk. After all, Forrest had just spent several years in the Vietnam War, an experiment to enrich is life was not about to turn him away. The company agrees. They gave Forrest the same surgical procedure as the mice, and after a few days in ICU, he returns to Alabama.

Within 90 days of back to reality life, Forrest’s thought processes ramped up considerably. Not only did he know what love is, but he can speak of it and express it. He immediately goes to see Jenny and tells her of this miraculous change. He then explains to her what he has tried to say for a lifetime but has been unable to express. Jenny is dumbfounded and in total shock. She sees the difference in an instant, and realizes the reformed Forrest is the man of her dreams. Her only question now is; will the experiment last or will or wear off ?, Forrest answers the question by quoting his mother; “ Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get “

She acknowledged his point; love is worth the risk of the unknown. Now that Jenny and Forrest are together, there is no reason for her to fall into a life of drugs and promiscuity during the 1970’s where she was infected with HIV. Being she avoided that demise, Forrest, Jenny and little Forrest were cleared for take-off into a life of happiness and Joy.

The Gump family had such gratitude for their lives they wanted to give back. As we all remember Forrest invested in a Fruit Company called “ Apple Computer “ and became a gazillionaire. With this wealth, the Gumps funded that same bio tech company that gave Forrest a whole new life so they can do the same for countless others. Forrest and Jenny also decided to donate fortunes to ” The Bill and Melinda Gates foundation ” to help fight poverty and disease in Africa and other parts of the world.

Who would’ve ever thought a fictional book can change people’s lives around the world. Lieutenant Dan took his part of the Apple fortune, and invested in a Titanium Start up company for animals. This company specializes in giving quality of life back to handicapped animals. Lieutenant Dan always remembered how Titanium put him back on his feet to walk again.

The End….. The movie still would have been great.
