Lt. Dan Taylor

Goddamn is his character awesome. Him being played by Gary Sinise was genius casting.

You son of a... (http://www.moviewavs.com/cgi-bin/moviewavs.cgi?Forrest_Gump=aahaah.wav).

I was seriously going to start this same exact thread after catching Forrest Gump on cable a couple weeks ago. Definitely one of the greatest characters ever.

What really added to the character also was Tom Hanks saying "Leeeeuitenant Daaan" in his retarded southern accent.

Pure gold.

Lt. Dan! You, you got legs..

[Voltron87]

"Leave me here! Leave me here goddamnit!"


"I have a destiny, I was supposed to die in the field, but you cheated me out of it!"

there is a scene in the hospital where forrest is offering ice cream: "ice cream Leeeeuitenant Daaan, you want some ice cream" or something. my brother used to say exact this whenever he wanted to go get girls:

"poontang Leeeeuitenant Daaan, you want some POONTANG???"

Your brother sounds very smooth...

[unlucky513]

You like it because its american propaganda. Gump gets everything he has in life by listening to other people: "run forest run" Investing in apple stock, starting a shrimp business etc.

Meanwhile, Jenny, the freethinker gets aids and dies

I love how gump is edited so many of the historical events, just hilarious

[tdarko]

best sequence of the movie.

Forrest Gump: Lieutenant Dan, what are you doing here?
Lieutenant Daniel Taylor: I'm here to try out my sea legs.
Forrest Gump: But you ain't got no legs, Lieutenant Dan.
Lieutenant Daniel Taylor: [mildly irritated, but understanding] Yes... yes, I know that. You wrote me a letter, you idiot!

He seems pretty happy at the end with his new legs.
If it was realistic, they would have showed him killing himself like so many other legless vietnam vets.

I love the word "propaganda".
