Forrest Gump (1994)
AFI 100 Years... 100 Movies (10th Anniversary Edition) Ranking: #76
So I stumbled across a Reddit thread a while back about the most misunderstood character in all fiction, and was struck by /u/Namtara’s answer about Jenny from Forrest Gump. It’s definitely worth a read, but the long and short of it is this:
"tl;dr: Jenny wasn't really a bitch. She was simply afraid of taking advantage of Forrest, given her own abusive background, and unaware that he could experience true love. So she kept suppressing her own emotions and running away from him."
