20 Things You Somehow Missed In Forrest Gump

4. The Smiley Face Card On Jenny's Nightstand

Shortly before Jenny dies from her illness, there's a shot where Forrest enters her room to care for her, and if you keep an extremely close eye on the left-hand side of the screen, you'll notice a get well card sat on her nightstand.

The card has a smiley face on it, which is of course relevant given that Forrest ended up unwittingly inspiring the iconic smiley face logo during an especially muddy run.

Considering that the scene is mostly naturally lit, this one's actually pretty tough to spot, but it's there.
