Sometimes friends just need to quietly listen to each other.
That is one hard thing to do. My best friend, my Wonder Woman, will often come home and unload her day upon me. As you well know, guys want to fix things and listening doesn’t seem like fixing it.
Thank you for a heartwarming and genuine article on what it means to be a friend.
Hi @hanshotfirst. Great write here, two contrast between Chris and Gordy.
I still laud the remarkable character of Chris, thank you for writing, i loved reading
The bit where Gordy asked if he is weird, YES says Chris, but so what!? everybody is weird, this is exactly what I tell my friends. I know right why is it so hard for bros to hug and support each other. Gosh @hanshotfirst so true I miss my friends when I was like 9 and 14.
I too, have a lesson from this movie! Don't let your wife catch you watching this movie with your 7 and 11 year olds!
Great article you have provided here! I enjoyed it. I tried to defend my choice of viewing pleasure with my children, with many of the lesson examples you have cited. My wife was not buying it. We pride ourselves on not using profanity much and certainly not around our children, so there was no explaining my way out of this one!
I actually watched this film last week with my 12 year old son. It was interesting to see his reaction to the friendships. His main comments were "were people really that open with each other back then?" He couldn't believe that friends were so close, it is a sad sign of the times when your son thinks friendships have to be built around keeping a fair amount of distance between you emotionally and physically, as well as not understanding why the group of friends were not afraid to be themselves.
That is great that you perceive that colossal distinction amongst tuning in and settling. Despite everything I battle a considerable amount with that one
UPVOTED AND RESTEEMED
I ll be there for you whatever you need me at first place, even if you re doing wrong... thats my best of the best friend says when we are hang out together best friend forever
It seem this is a KINGS' story ;) (One of my favorite movies, and it's truly amazing that only a few people are aware that this is actually a Stephen King story.)..:
"I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?"
From the movie soundtrack Benjamin Earl KING / Stand By Me
A good word from a good friend can literally a move a child or an adult from out of depression to well-being in literally seconds. That's how powerful and even magical good friendships can be. Truly amazing!
great movie - seen it at least 4 times and that's saying something for any movie. so many nuances, I cried, laughed, thought about it, and then remembered that these were kids and was I actually watching a kid's movie? no, an adult movie with kids playing the parts.
Enjoy your posts. Have you on my automatic upvote list. Kindly visit my posts when you get the opportunity.
Currently on episode six of Stranger Things season 2.
So good!
Great post btw... But I know this interests you as well.
Oh yeah! My wife and I need to start that tonight.
I just finished all 9hrs.
I lucked out and had today off.
It was great....I won't say anything other than you won't be disappointed in the least.
Thanks for your writing. Greate write between Gordy anf Chris. Go ahead @hanshotfirst

That is awesome that you recognize that huge difference between listening and fixing. I still struggle quite a bit with that one.
And I think you've hit the nail smack on the head why Stephen King is followed by so many people hanging on his every (written) word.
He knows people. He's studied people, their relationships, their minds and how they work.
Everyone can see themselves somewhere in any of his stories and, good or bad, we have to accept that King has captured it perfectly.
Nicely written, well done. I don't know why I wasn't following you before, but that has been rectified.
Quite a great story , i must admit
Lol thanks! I was literally just saying the exact same thing about following you. I was shocked I wasn’t. I look forward to interacting with you more!
I think king’s ability to create compelling and realistic characters is his greatest strength.
I love this film! Thank you for sharing! I'm felling a good nostalgia!
Followed and upvoted!
Hugs from Brazil!

He is one of my favorites ever.
Is this based on true life events????
Hands down, without question, beyond doubt, and most certainly, the best Stephen King adaptation.
I agree... although I loved Shawshank Redemption as well.
Crap. Forgot about that one.
yes, another great one - terrific ending!
Well, Stand by Me was one of the movies that made me grow as a person. I was 14 when I first watched it.

LOL. Well if you are going to take a bullet at least it was for a great movie! Good luck though.

With all those wonderful words sir, I think I have to watch the movie myself.
I also love the title, Stand by Me is also a title of a song, the winning piece of a Filipina who won in a singing contest in Australia.
Wow! It is my all-time favourite film!
This is one of my favorite movies ever. Me and my brother would watch it, rewind the vhs, and watch it again. It’s so great.
