Stand by Me

Bullshit. Bull true! “I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?” Oh, to be a twelve year old in 1959 trekking down the train tracks on the search for a dead body. I remember being shown this movie in the 7th grade, so, I must’ve been twelve myself, by my History/English/AVID core teacher. I don’t think there was much of a reason academically for it other than just being an incredible film and my life was changed forever. I haven’t stopped thinking about it for 16 years.
