Incredible narration like this can give a closer look into a character’s mind. It’s because of this combination of cinematography and excellent voice-over work by De Niro that the audience is thoroughly entranced by the slow descent into madness. Even though the cinematography is already being used to show things from the perspective of Bickle, the narration takes it a step further and really lets the audience get inside the mind of the character. What sets this film apart is its use of narration by Robert De Niro. The film takes a turn as he attempts to save an underage prostitute. The film follows Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro), a Vietnam veteran and ex-marine who works as a taxi driver in New York. Speaking of iconic movies, it would be unjust not to include Taxi Driver, directed by Martin Scorsese and released in 1976, on this list.
It’s no wonder why he is known as the voice of God when it comes to narration. Freeman’s exceptionally deep and commanding voice is one of the most powerful in the industry. The voice-over work by Morgan Freeman allows the audience to feel the humanity and a wide range of emotions for the protagonist Andy Dufresne.

Apart from the film’s great acting, one of the reasons why the movie was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture and why it won the American Society of Cinematographers Award for Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography in Theatrical Releases is because of the narration by Morgan Freeman. The movie follows Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), a banker arrested for the murders of his wife and her lover, who is sentenced to life in prison. The movie stars some of the biggest names in the industry, such as Morgan Freeman, Tim Robbins, William Saddler, Gil Bellows, Clancy Brown, Jeffrey DeMunn, and more. One very iconic film that also includes the clever use of narration, and is an adaption from a novella by Stephen King named Different Seasons, is The Shawshank Redemption.
