      @@andrewq159 Lots of stuff. Mostly light work of course. The heavy stuff, you’ll still get hit, but not tried as an adult. I’ll give you an example though. Right next to my neighborhood growing we had a private airport. In the middle of the night, my two best friends and I would sneak out, and we’d each take one side of the runway, and run down it kicking out all of the light bulbs. We finally stopped when the guy in the watch tower got on a 4 wheeler and chased us. That evening, a plane had to make an emergency landing on the main blvd next to the airport, because they couldn’t see the runway. Yes, dangerous and stupid, I know. But as kids (I’m thinking about the same age as these kids in the movie) it was a blast. Imagine what kind of potential charges an adult would get for doing something like that. Kids do get away with stuff that adults can not. Not only that, but if you come from a good home, for the most part, being a kid is worry free. Only responsibilities you have is school, maybe some basic chores, mowing the neighbors lawns for some coin, or a part time job when you hit 16. Easy life. I’m aware that isn’t the case for all kids though, and that’s really too bad. Knew plenty of kids from broken homes, and I had a ton of advantages they didn’t.

    I always said that Stand by Me was basically IT without the monster. It has much the same dynamic with the kids, their encounters with the bullies, and their lousy parents. There's a bit in the novel of IT where Eddie is thinking to himself "Adults are the real monsters," and that does inform a lot of Stephen King's work...you see a lot of bad parents in his stories. And yeah, this really captures how boys that age talk and act with each other.

    It's kind of astounding how many of the cast went on to have big acting careers. All of the four main kids did. Will Wheaton went on the next year to one of the main roles in Star Trek: Next Generation, Jerry O'Connell would eventually star in the TV show "Sliders".This was something of a breakout role for Kieifer Sutherland (the bully), who would land a starring role in "The Lost Boys" a year later, then to many more starring roles and would play Jack Bauer in the TV show "24". John Cusack (the older brother) would have a big role in "Eight Men Out" two years later and go on to a huge career. It's hard to think of another movie with so many young future stars-maybe "The Outsiders" (which would make a great reaction, Dasha.)
    I don't think Gordie's dad actually said he wished Gordie had died instead of his brother, I think that's the way Gordie thought his dad felt by the way his dad was treating him, so it came out in his dream. His dad was so wrapped up in his grief he forgot he had another son who needed love and encouragement, too.

    The card game they were playing was 31. You get three cards and the closest to 31 wins, but they all have to be the same suit. You can also get 30 if you have three of a kind. On your turn, you can draw a card or take one from the discard pile.When you think you can win, you knock then everyone else gets one turn. When I was around this same age, (10-12) my dad and I would play 31 to see who had to cook that night. It always makes me happy to see it in a movie.

    One of King's best stories and one of the few examples where the film did the original source material justice in encapsulating the premise of the original story.
    Dasha, I think you asked a question as to whether King wrote from experience. As most writers there is an element of King's real life in this one, not that it loosely follows a real life tale about a ragtag group of boys searching for a dead boy, but that as I remember it, one of Stephen King's friends was hit and killed by a train when they were both this age and King was apparently present when it happened.
    I say apparently, because King doesn't remember what happened, but he was with the friend earlier that day before he was killed and King was still present in the area of the accident when he was found by an adult in a significantly 'dazed' state, so it's believed that he was present when the other boy was killed. King specifically said that the accident was the core element that he built this story around, though everything else aside from a young boy being hit and killed by a train, is fiction.

    This is a fantasy film.
    As Dasha pointed out, a lot of the conversations were very adult, and I would say very retrospective. You don't reflect on events in your life the way they did until you are older.
    Plus most of the adults being jerks, (the shop keeper wasn't, but I though that scene was to illustrate Wheaton's character was out of place in the town because he wasn't into sports and "normal" things.), is basically how the kids saw the adults.
    I might even say the film was a bit ham fisted. Dad was super mean or dismissive in every scene, bro was super sweet and supportive, grown ups were mean and Sutherland was evil. No real subtlety in it. As I said, basically the selected memories of the story teller.
    Still a great film though.

    Castle Rock Entertainment, director Rob Reiner's production company, is named for the town in this movie.
    Stand by Me really captures the way boys that age act around each other. I had friends like that.
    When Rob Reiner finished the movie he did a private screening for Steven King. When it was over. King didn't say anything at first, and Reiner noticed that King was shaking. After a while, King told Reiner it was the best adaptation of one of his works he'd ever seen.
    Other movies directed by Rob Reiner: This is Spinal Tap, The Princess Bride (which you've reacted to), When Harry Met Sally, Misery (which you've also reacted to), and A Few Good Men

    😎👍 When you stop and think about it, it's Pluto who is the odd one out, not Goofy. The Disney universe is full of talking dogs ("Lady And The Tramp," "101 Dalmatians," "The Fox And The Hound," "Oliver & Company" etc). Pluto Pup is pretty much the only non-talking animated character in the house of mouse.

    Great reaction Dasha. I loved this movie growing up, but it was not till I was older that I realized just how great it is. I am in my early 40s and two years ago I lost one of my life long friends due to random illness. I remember watching a reaction to this movie shortly after and thinking I was just going to relive my enjoyment of it, but it hit different than I ever expected. When you are young life seems so carefree, but when you are older the realization comes that you have limit time so don't miss any chance to enjoy it.

    Dam, that reminded me of the time I walked to my friends house.
    There was a park behind his backyard. On the other side of the park there were some Doberman pinschers.
    They had gotten under the fence and I saw them charging right at me.
    I ran like hell and jumped on to my friends fence just in time and then a turn to my left and see my other friend jumping on to the fence.
    He says' "Dam, that was close."
    I didn't even know he was behind me.

    6:25 In the city I live in there was a court case. Where the son of the mayor of the town injured his arm "playing" the game of knocking over mail boxes. It turns out the son would frequent one strip and an owner had replaced his mail box several times. The last time he made the mail box steal reinforced and it shatter's the mayor's son's arm when he swung his bat at it. The judge did not rule in favor of the son for damages to his arm.

    I was 12 when this film came out. The perfect age for this one to really hit hard. These days, even harder. Years later I finally read the short story it was based on, The Body, which was great. They really put in the effort to fit as much of the original story into this film.

    The novella this is based on is from the same collection that Shawshank Redemption came from. Stephen King's "slice of life" stories are some of his very best. He can write characters people care about like few other authors in the world can.

    The story the movie was based on was called “The Body” , castle rock is supposed to be in Maine not Oregon, not sure why they changed that detail. All those children grew up to be famous, Will Wheaton..Star Trek…River Phoenix (Joaquin’s older brother) was a rising star but died of drug overdose, Jerry O’Connell lost a lot of weight and was the star of Sliders, Corey Feldman was a huge star (until he accused some Hollywood director of molesting him and another friend of his and he was labeled a crazy person and blackballed in Hollywood…with all the latest stuff about Harvey Weinstein…maybe he was telling the truth) John Cusack and Kiefer Sutherland are huge stars. Love this movie

    Thank you!❤

  • @Robert_Douglass
    @Robert_Douglass 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I grew up with this flick, and I enjoyed every moment of it, but I also got the gist of it, how friends come and go, but true friends are there for you through thick and thin and have your back, they pick you up when you fall, and they let you know when you're messing up, even when you don't want to hear it. That was Chris Chambers, the best friend Gordie LaChance ever could have had.
    Oh yeah, funniest line I ever heard in this flick --
    "Now he _said_ "Sic em, boy", but what _I_ heard was 'Chopper, sic balls'" 🤣.
    9:50 A line to remember that made me think Gordie was wise beyond his years -- "But going to see a dead kid? Maybe it shouldn't be a party."
    9:57 When I was coming up I'd seen other kids my age doing the same thing, not with razors but with pencil erasers. Basically they rubbed the eraser on the skin to create burn scars. Less chance of infection.

  • @speleokeir
    @speleokeir 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The film is a classic coming of age story. However when I watch it now I can't help thinking of the fates of some of the actors playing the four boys which are pretty tragic:
    - River Phoenix died at 23 overdosing on a mix of cocaine and heroine.
    - Corey Feldman has claimed he was sexually abused as a boy by various people on the Hollywood scene and that abuse of child actors is common. He has also suffered from drug and alcohol abuse and been accused of sexual harrassment himself. He's clearly very messed up.
    - Wil Wheaton has suffered from alcoholism and various mental health issues including PTSD, anxiety and depression.

    @rivercitymud 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    My friends and I saw this in the 80s when we were their age and it was still recent enough that we could relate to those boys. We had to grow up fast just like them, along with all the cussing and smoking and mischief, and we also helped each other through some very adult situations that no kid should ever have to think about. The adults were mostly terrible too, it was like this film was made just for us. Partly thanks to this movie, I do still have a friend like the one I had when I was twelve, I've stayed best friends with my Chris Chambers for 35 years now.

    Greetings. Very nice reaction. Nice movie where it is true sometimes it is difficult to maintain a beautiful friendship but it is life. Some will arrive. Others would leave and some will stay. The River actor who played Chris was one of those who was highly expected as an artist. I understand that he was the candidate to play Jack in Titanic. Unfortunately, he too died very young and by a supposedly involuntary accident of a friend. They explain it in their biography.

    Well, now that you've seen _this_ movie, let me recommend a movie that, I infer, sometimes gets mixed _up_ with it. It's called _Lean on Me._ It came out in 1989, and although the title is _similar,_ the movie is _very_ different.
    _Stand by Me_ is a work of fiction. Very _good,_ very _realistic_ fiction, but fiction all the same.
    _Lean on Me_ is about Principal Joseph Clarke and his efforts to get the students of East Side High School in Patterson, New Jersey, to graduation after the school's academic standing (and _safety_ standards) have spent the last two decades sliding. The media had come to call it "a cauldron of violence."

    Great movie. This movie is always kind of sad considering Reaver Phonix died in real life. Another great kid adventure movie is Flight Of The Navigator . A great coming of age movie (With older people not kids) no one reacted to is Big Wednesday. Also another Rob Riener great movie is When Harry Met Sally. The actor who plays Vern is Jerry O'Connell and plays on The Big Bang Theory , Sliders and Jerry Macgvyer. Gordey mom is from Gremlins and Back From The Future. Gordey Dad is from Twins and Total Recall. Steven King has The Running Man a great action movie with Arnold Swarchenger you should see.
