Classical movie Forrest Gump
PART ONE,CHILDHOOD ANDSCHOOL DAYS
Hello. My name‟s want a chocolate? I could eat about a million and a half of these. My mama always said “Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you‟re going to get.” Those must be comfortable shoes. I bet you could walk all day in shoes like that and not feel a thing. I wish I had shoes like that. Mama always said “There‟s an awful lot you can tell about a person by their shoes. “Where they‟re going. Where they‟ve been.” I‟ve worn lots of shoes. I bet if I think about it real hard I could remember my first pair of shoes. Mama said they would take me anywhere. She said they was my magic shoes. Alright, ‟s take a little walk around. How do those feel? His legs are strong, Mrs. as strong as I‟ve ever seen. But his back is as crooked as a politician. But we‟re going to straighten him right up now, aren‟t we, ?
Now when I was a baby, Mama named me after the great Civil War hero, General Nathan Bedford She said we was related to him in some way and what he did was, he started up this club called the Ku Klux Klan. They‟d all dress up in their robes and their bed sheets and act like a bunch of ghosts or spooks or something. They‟d even put bed sheets on their horses and ride
around. Anyway, that‟s how I got my name, . Mama said the part was to remind me that sometimes we all do things that, well, just don‟t make no sense.
What are y‟all starin‟ at? Haven‟t you ever seen a little boy with braces on his legs before? Don‟t ever let anybody tell you that they‟re better than you, same, he‟d have given us all braces on our legs. :
Mama always had a way of explaining things so I could understand them. We lived about a quarter mile off Route 17, about a half mile from the town of Greenbow, Alabama. That‟s in the country of Greenbow. Our house had been in mama‟s family since her grandpa‟s grandpa‟s grandpa had come across the ocean about a thousand years ago, something like that. Since it was just me and mama and we had all these empty rooms, mama decided to let those rooms out, mostly to people passin‟ through like, oh, from Mobile, Montgomery, places like that. That‟s how me and mama got money. Mama was a real smart .
Remember what I told you You‟re no different than anybody else is. Did you hear what I said, You are no different .
Your boy‟s different, Mrs.. His I.Q. is 75. Well, we‟re all different, :
She wanted me to have the finest education so she took me to the Greenbow County Central School. I met the principal and all. I want to show you something, Mrs.this is normal. is right here. The state requires a minimum I.Q. of 80 to attend public school, Mrs.‟s going to have to go to a

special school. He‟ll be just fine.
What does normal mean, anyway? He might be a bit on the slow side. But my boy, to get the same opportunities as everyone else. He‟s not going to some special school to learn how to retread tires. We‟re talking about five little points here. There must be something can be done. :
We‟re a progressive school system. We don‟t want to see anybody left behind. Is there a ...Mr. Mrs. ?
‟s on vacation.
: Eee,Eee,Eee… Your mama sure does
care about your schooling, son. You don‟t say much, do you?
) Finally, he had to
try. It looked easy but... oh, what happened?
‟s “vacation” mean?
Vacation is when you go somewhere
and you don‟t ever come back.
Anyway, I guess you could say me and mama was on our own. But we didn‟t mind. Our house was never empty. There was always folks coming and going. Sometimes we had so many people staying with us that every room was filled with travelers. You know, folks livin‟ out of their suitcases and hat cases, and sample cases. One time a young man was staying with us and he had him a guitar case.
( ces as the traveler sings “Hound
Dog”)
, I told you not to bother this
nice young man.
Elvis Presley: No, that‟s alright Ma‟am. I was just
showing him a thing or two on the guitar here.
Alright. Supper‟s ready if y‟all want
to eat.
Elvis: Yeah, that sounds good. Thank you, Ma‟am.
Say, man, show me that crazy little walk you just did there. Slow it down some. “You ain‟t nothing but a hound dog...”
:
I liked that guitar. It sounded good. I started moving around to the music, swingin‟ my hips. This night, me and mama was out shoppin‟ and we walked right by Pitsey‟s Furniture and Appliance store. Guess what.?.. (Elvis was on TV cing the way that taught him)
This is not for children‟s eyes. :
Some years later, that handsome young man who they called “The King”, well, he sang too many songs, had himself a heart attack or something. Must be hard being the king... You know it‟s funny how you remember some things. But some things you can‟t.
You do your very best now,
: I remember the bus ride on the first day
of school very well. Are you coming along?
Mama said not to be taken rides from
strangers.
This is the bus to school. I‟m
I‟m Harris. : Well, now
we ain‟t strangers anymore. Kid: This seat‟s taken.
Other Kids: Taken. Different Kid: You can‟t sit
here.
:
You know it‟s funny what a young man recollects. „Cause I don‟t remember being born. I don‟t recall what I got for my first Christmas. I don‟t know when I went on my first outdoor picnic. But I do remember the first time I heard the sweetest voice

Man in store: That boy sure is a run fool. : Now, remember how I told you that to want to go home? Well, she lived in a house that was as old as Alabama. Her mama had gone up to heaven when she was five and her daddy was some kind of a farmer.
