Stand by Me
Unfortunately I was unable to fully enjoy this one due to someone constantly talking but after the cinema staff spoke to them and they left, wow what a experience,
So yeah I caught this one of the big screen last night and this one just hits me in the feels every time, Stand By Me really is the ultimate feel good movie and just nostalgia personified, it’s crazy how good this movie manages to capture most of our childhoods yet that was once me and I’m sure most of you, just going out all day, sometimes even camping out in the field, it didn’t matter what your background was we were just a group of friends on our own “Stand By Me” Adventure, and everyone had a friend group like this, each character can represent someone in your friend group
I’ve now see this movie 3 times, once when I was a child I didn’t understand it was just in the background, then I watched it when I was about 15 still going on these adventures and I thought it was just a cool movie, but now I’m 20 and I reflect on being a teenager it does hit me in my feels, it’s so overwhelming and nostalgic while just catching the humour we had in our friend groups that it really is like looking at a lens back on my childhood, you get up to so much fun care free and then you blink and your leaving school with adult responsibilities, everything adults said about “enjoy your childhood cause once it’s over it’s over” you don’t believe, you think you got unlimited time and now looking back I just want one more day there, it really does manage to capture that transition period where you still feel like a kid but time is passing by and you need to grow up soon
I’m not sure how this movie will fair with the generation after mine, and it’s a shame there not going to experience the pure euphoria of growing up going out on bikes and making there own fun now they have IPhones & IPads from the minute they can walk, but one thing is for sure, for me this movie just manages to capture the spirit of childhood adventure and freedom so much that I can’t help but love it
