Stand by Me

been wanting to watch this movie for a while and it didn’t disappoint. i was kinda bored at points but not enough where i didnt like it. all four of the main boys were likeable. i resonated with gordie. chris was ADORABLE towards gordie🥹 if this movie was made recently it would def be some major ship. vern was so funny. teddy was LOWK weird for that train scene but i liked him too. i loved their journey. so many things happened. the train coming at them, the lookout during the night, THE LEECHES…. the ending was unexpectingly sad. i guess i assumed they would stay a friend group but i guess this movie aimed to like reflect real life. unfortch it was accurate. i find it SO sad that chris didnt have a bad life like everyone thought he wouldve had. instead he had a good life but died trying to be good. omg it was so sad. the dynamic between the boys was so adorable. very stranger things season one. overall it was a really cute comforting sad coming of age movie! fav part: def the leeches scene omg it was so funny worst part: finding out how chris died would i recommend: yes
