The dramatic ending of the Forrest Gump novel that practically has nothing to do with the sad ending that we all saw in the movie.
Forrest Gump It is considered one of the most outstanding films in Hollywood, being moving from the beginning to the end.
And between the film and the Forrest Gump novel there are many differences, not only in the novel itself can you find stories that do not appear in the film, but the entire background is darker, including the ending.
As a reminder, in the finale of the Forrest Gump movie, Tom Hanks’ character marries Jenny, but unfortunately she subsequently becomes ill and dies. In this ending Forrest is raising his son and it seems that she has found peace in his life even though he has left behind one of the most important people.
However, in the novel everything is much darker, because although Jenny does not have an illness that will subsequently end her life, the couple lasts very little time together.
In the novel, Jenny ends up abandoning Forrest himselfshe leaves with another man and takes her son.
This causes the book to take a tremendously dark turn regarding Jenny’s abandonment of Forrest, a character who ends up losing his partner and also his son.
At the end of the book, Forrest ends up becoming a street artist after giving up his fortune, and ends up begging for money on the street alongside the ape he traveled to space with.
In this way, although initially the producers wanted to be inspired by the novel, the creative vision and the narrative itself derived almost to a new story.
