Robin Wright doesn’t shy away from controversy over one of his most iconic movie characters. He and his “Forrest Gump” co-star Tom Hanks talked about it while promoting their new movie “Here” in a recent New York Times interview. Wright was asked if she viewed her 1994 character, Jenny Curran, as anti-feminist. “No, it’s not about that,” Wright said. Many have said he was a sort of Voldemort for Forrest. I don’t want to say it, but he was a bit selfish.”
In the movie “Forrest Gump”, Jenny lives an independent life after being abused as a child, which involves drug use and sex. Her relationship with Forrest continued for a long time. She eventually succumbs to a terminal illness and has a child with Forrest. “I don’t think it was a punishment for him,” he said. Rather, he showed selfishness. Forrest loved him from the start, and he was a restless and erratic man.”

While this love story may seem toxic to many, in recent years there has been some sympathy for Jenny, as she was abused as a child. “He finally came to see her,” Wright said, “to say, ‘This is your child, but I’m dying.’” Still, Forrest took her into his home and looked after her. It is really a very emotional love story.”
The critically acclaimed film won six Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Hanks. Wright said he will always have an emotional attachment to the film. “It’s a movie that I will always feel, not just because it was a good movie but because it was a great experience,” he said.
Hanks also made many emotional comments about the film. He said, “It is an extraordinary creation, which stands alone and needs no repetition. And it’s nice to think that we never thought about doing a sequel with it.”
In the movie “Here” they worked again with “Forrest Gump” director Robert Zemeckis. The movie is adapted from a 2014 graphic novel that follows the lives of a married couple through the ages, with the characters changing through the use of AI and a single camera. Hanks said of the reunion, “We started right back. I would say we love each other because we get along so easily.”
