Stand by Me

Absolute breathtaking film. The film was a unreal experience with the combination of pure melancholy and somberness. Personally this film hits hard for me. The expedition that the boys took reminded me of my old memories. The actual story of the film is also breathtaking. It pulls you in as a fun little adventure wanting to make you forget the endpoint is going to be even more devastating. The metal trauma of the characters are extremely well delt. The rawness of the acting in some of the scenes are gut wrenching. Some uncanny shots were also great. This movie made me feel happy, sad, anger, excitement, terrified and much more. Some of the stress inducing set pieces were crazy. The acting was okay. Some had better performances than others and you can see that. The end line "I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?" feels so real and true.
