In 2019, Forrest Gump screenwriter Eric Roth confirmed that the illness Jenny died from was late-stage HIV. During an interview (via Yahoo Entertainment) about the film's 25th anniversary, Roth discussed the details of a sequel that was canceled after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001. He reveals that the Forrest Gump sequel was actually going to open with the revelation that Forrest Jr. had late-stage HIV, the result of acquiring the disease from his mother, Jenny. Roth also notes that he w...
The Movie Wisely Avoids Addressing The Dark Possibility
The question of the future implications of Jenny's illness lays a dark overtone to Forrest Gump as a whole: It's medically possible that HIV transmission occurred to both Forrest Gump and Forrest Gump Jr., but the creators never officially answered the question. If Jenny were to pass on HIV to Forrest, then it's probable her son, Forrest Jr., would have the virus as well. If Forrest (and his son) possibly did have the virus, it would cause numerous complications over his life, spanning far in...
Hanks' Charity Work Coincided With His First Oscar-Winning Role
While starring in Forrest Gump, Tom Hanks was known for another controversial (at the time) movie — 1993's Philadelphia. This Tom Hanks moviesaw the actor in the role of Andrew Beckett, a gay man who enlists the help of lawyer Joe Miller (Denzel Washington) to sue his former employers for firing him when they found out he had AIDS. Playing a gay man in an early 90s movie was quite unheard of, and rather controversial, at the time — portraying a character openly living as HIV-positive added ad...
The Adaptation Of Forrest Gump Changed A Lot From The Source Material
The question of how Jenny dies in Forrest Gump is further confused by the fact that the book is different from how screenwriter Eric Roth has spoken about it, and Forrest Gump author Winston Groom has given conflicting comments over the years. That said, what's clear is that Jenny dies of Hepatitis C in the second book, while she dies of AIDS in the movies, even though it was only implied. Notably, Hepatitis C was discovered in 1989, which is why the doctors could do little for Jenny in the '...

27. Juni 2020 · The author made it clear that Jenny dies of Hepatitis C. She contracted the disease through her drug abuse, and the virus was indeed unknown until 1989. Since the movie is set in the 1980s, it explains why the doctors could not help her in any way. A little digging shows that the disease can be contracted due to drug use and via blood contact.
If the consensus on Jenny Curran's death in Forrest Gump is HIV or Hep C, wouldn't both Forrest and little Forrest have it also? It doesn't seem feasible to me that she could have had either one of these viruses without passing it to her son, and possibly Forrest. plot-explanation. forrest-gump. Share. Improve this question.
