Stand By Me review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 03/05/12
This memorable picture started my inquisitive nature and curiosity in the medium of film. It was my first movie experience in an actual theater. The story revolves around a shy Gordie (Wil Wheaton), mature Chris Chambers (River Phoenix), eclectic Teddy Duchamp (Corey Feldman) and chubby Vern Tessio (Jerry O'Connell). The four individuals discover a dead body and embark in an adventure. Its screenplay was exceptional with lines from the movie: Gordie – “I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?” “You can do anything you want, man. “ Chris – “Yeah, but so what? Everybody's weird.” The soundtrack was wonderful and applicable to each scene while the performances were realistic. It had a good mix of dramatic and humorous scenes. Stand By Me is an underrated spectacular drama, one of the best about growing-up, friendship, memories, choices and mystery
