No 9. Stand By Me

Stand by Me was directed by Rob Reiner in 1986. It's based off of Stephen Kings's novella "The body". The story takes place in a small town in Oregon 1959. It tells the story of a group of boys leaving their childhood behind them. The Movie is awesome i thoroughly enjoyed it. The whole movie felt very natural and the friendship bonds between all the friends made it that much better. My favorite thing about movies is that they feel real. The settings and actors in this movie are perfect. The main character Gordy is a young kid figuring himself out. Most that view this movie can relate to this because when we were 12 things were much simpler and free. If i had seen this movie when i was 12 i probably wouldn't get the same feeling i did now. Gordy and Chris are best friends and the feeling that they genuinely care about each other is evident throughout the film. The acting is incredible for such a young cast and for them to portray the feelings and convince the audience that this is actually going on is extraordinary. The slight differences in the boys lives bring them ever closer. From beatings physically and emotionally the boys are all in the same boat hen it comes to family life. From an institutionalised father to a drunkard with a fist these boys are stronger than most. On the verge of there final childhood summer ending the boys set off on an adventure and take one step closer to growing up. With the onset of junior high the boys are worried about their friendships staying together and if they are gonna be able to deal with being apart and leading their own lives. This movie should be a staple for every child to watch and take a lesson from. four out of five stars
