Tom Hanks starring as Forrest Gump did his best performance yet in this movie. It is an all time favorite and a must see movie. In Forrest Gump it has the best Narration, and Sound.

Through the movie Forrest tells his story so he is the narrator. As he tells his story he is a first person narrator. When Forrest isn't doing the narration the camra is and they also do it together. As the movie begins he is sitting on a park bench talking to a woman (this is where the camra is being the narrator) when he begins telling his story he starts off talking about his childhood and then the screen goes to his flash back. He talks about when he got his first pair of shoes. Then the screen goes back to forrest and the woman. The camra is now telling the story. Forrest then starts talking about how he remembers the first day of school and how the kids wouldn't let him sit anywhere by them. The narrator is Forrest because he is telling the story but the camra is also the narrator for it is giving the visual. The camra switches back to the bench and this time both the camra and forrest are the narrators. He then starts talking about how he met Jenny and how they were best friends and taught each other a lot of stuff. It then switches to the bench. Again the camra is being a narrator. He goes on to tell his story about when the bullies were chasing him on bikes and his braces fall off and he never stopped running after that. Even after the boys stopped chasing him he kept on running. Continuing on through the story Forrest ran all the way to Jenny's house where they run into the corn patch to pray for help for Jenny. She ends up moving to her grandma's house which was closer to Forrest and snuck in to sleep with him when there was a storm. This is the camra and Forrest being the narrators. Forrest then keeps telling his story about being in high school and again running from the bullies. Because he was running he ran through a college football game and the coach wanted him so he got to go to college like Jenny. He is present when the college became desegregated and was the only one who wasn't against it. This is both Forrest and the camra. It then switches back to the bench when he mets another woman who he talks to about college. This is just the camra being a narrator. Next he starts telling this new woman about the time he went to go see Jenny at her college. he ended up beating up Jenny's boyfriend because he was getting fresh with her in the car. And when they go back to her dorm room they talk about how Jenny want to be a singer. A while afterward he was put on the All American Football Team and gets to see the president of the united states where he drank 15 Dr. Peppers. This is the narration from Forrest and the camra. It switches back to the bench where they talk about the president getting shot. just the camra being the narrator this time. He goes on telling his story about how he graduated from college and enlisted into the Army. When he went that was where he met his new best friend Bubba. He then found out that Jenny got kicked out of college because of some explicated pictures she took. he went to see her where she was performing and ended up beating up some guys for trying to get fresh with her. and then Jenny took off. This is still all narration from Forrest and the camra. As the story being told by Forrest continues he gets sent off to Vietnam. He then meets lutenant Dan. They walk through Vietnam where it just rains and rains and rains and finally when the sun comes out they get attacked. While running for safety bombs were dropped hurting and killing the whole platoon. Forrest went back to save them and brought them to safety but not before he got shot in the buttocks. This again was narrated by Forrest for telling the story and the camra by giving the visual of the story being told. When it switches back to the bench the woman is gone and now it is a man and they talk about him being shot in the buttocks. This narration is just by the camera. Continuing the story he talks about being in the infirmary eating all the ice cream he wants and is in the bed next to luetenant Dan. Luetenant Dan lost his legs and he blames Forrest. Forrest then learns to play ping pong. Forrest was awarded the medal of honor and luetenant Dan got sent home. While Forrest was out site seeing after meeting the new President he ended up getting caught in a peace ordeal to speak about the war. That is where he saw Jenny again. They both go to a Black Panthers Party and he beats up Jenny's boyfriend for hitting her and she ends up taking off to
