Film Analysis Of The Movie Stand By Me

Stand By Me “I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?” Many of us don’t realize how true our friendships were when we were young. Back then you just get along with other kids, and it’s all smooth sailing. Eventually we all get to that turning point in each of our young lives, and we realize for the first time the people in our lives won’t be a part of our lives forever. This is what Gordie Lachance comes to realize in the 1986 hit movie, Stand by Me. Stand by Me was a very intriguing movie with many heartwarming scenes, good characters, and the perfect amount of humor, but it is also quite vulgar and dirty for a teen movie. While Gordie and his friends, Chris and Teddy, are playing cards

It shows how tough they think they are. Even Gordie pulls out a girly magazine. All three of the characters act very well in this scene. Chris being the tough kid he is, has a cigarette to his lips. Teddy squeaks as he laughs with wild hair, a burnt ear, and messy clothes. Vern seems to forget things a lot. He can’t remember the password to get into the club house. Later in the movie he forgets to pack the lunch as well. He is breathing hard. Gordie seems to be an average kid. He swears when he gets out of the game. Another comical part was when all of the four character jump over the fence. They go sit down to take a break and started playing a game to decide who is going to go get food. Gordie lost the game, so he has to go and get some food for them all. Once Gordie comes back to the dump the old guy screams at him for being on his property, and he starts to run. The old man sicks his dog on him, so he jump over the fence in the back. After that they start trash talking the old man. Teddy the one trash talking doesn’t know that the old man know him. The old man then says the names of each of them and their families. The boys get pretty scared, and they realize they might need more than a fence to protect themselves. Another part of the movie was amusing to me is when all four of the boys got to the river. Chris is the one that told them they had

By the end of the journey Gordie has matured so much we can tell a difference in his character. The music is different when they show him alone. He transformed from a shy young boy who followed others into a confident young man. He was much more independent compared to the beginning of the movie. The audience can see this in the scene where the group is discussing what they should do with the body. Gordie takes control of the situation and says they will leave the body there. Another scene that we can see that Gordie has changed is when the group goes their separate ways to go home. This scene shows that the boys especially Gordie and Chris have changed their attitudes. They are becoming young men. After the story is done the narrator talks about each individual person. This the audience feels nostalgia to their childhood. Everyone has memories of their childhood friends. It has an unhappy but warm feeling to
