StandByMe is for adults and TheGoonies is for kids [[Do you agree?]]

The song lyrics by Zeppelin Led “When the night has come, and the land is dark and the moon is the only light we’ll see, No I wont be afraid, No I won’t be afraid, Just as long, As you stand by me” Those sensuous lyrics continuously enduring, through right at the back of your head. This songs rhythm certainly won’t budge out of the trance unless you really force it! This is the sound track for, as you’ve most probably guessed, ‘Stand By Me’ movie. Likewise, in addition to the song the rhythm of the film is very perplex and wonderfully directed and produced by Rob Reiner in the year of 1986.

Amidst this film, you can feel how some of the kids inferiority is dwelling on them and you can really feel them inside you almost. For instance, Gordie (Will Weaton) who was seeking someone in order to him to confide into, as a pose for his father who had alienated him, as soon as his elder brother died. He is horribly suffering the side-effects of loss of someone deeply loved and is still trying to cope with mourning. He definitely develops a whole lot through this film with the help of Chris (River Phoenix), the leader of the obnoxious young boys. The fathomless emotion that he holding within him is very much afflicting the audience and certainly did me too.

Hence, and minus all the adventure, the dead body, harassment, humour and downfalls, Stand By me is incredibly moving in the way that you are enticed into the characters. You clasp each and every young character, Gordie, Chris, Vern and Teddy and encounter the ‘coming of age’ vibe that you may be entering, or reminiscing on them days that you may have once lived and perceive the nostalgia. This film isn’t really based on the adventure alone, but the culminated factors of the four children developing and becoming a matured young man ready to face the world. Thus, it is prodigious that a film could be overwhelming, just by the works of coming of age.

Although many people would say that this film has a broad age viewing capacity there are some who would say that it may not be as so. As girls, for instance may not be as stimulated as the boys agenda are through this film. Some would say “They are four obnoxious little brats! Why would I be interested in them”, and carry on with vanity and what not. However, there are girls that are aroused by the film aside the fact that there is no female interest.

Also, as so many age sequences can be satisfied with this film I think this film can be enjoyed by any age. There are numerous reasons why, so many opposing ages can adequately be equally delighted at this film. Elder people can watch this film and simply be abolished by nostalgia and refer to the four characters as their younger years, younger children can watch and be eager to grow up for the awaited adventure, and the adolescence audience can relish the years that they are able to live and relate to every single character on this movie. All this suggests that this film, may actually be a unified film concerning what type of viewers watch this film.

Stand By Me was truly an amazing film. Overall, I thought that this film was incredible and I was properly drawn into the perplex characters of this film. The film was carefully proportioned out, with a mixture of drama, humour, coming of age, childish humour and some sad moments. I love the fact that this film is really just consisting the development of such well-established characters.

I have scrutinized the opening entries and scenes of ‘Stand By Me’ and ‘The Goonies’. It is superb the different affect both openings leave on the particular viewer and modifies each section very, very well. Funnily enough, I have come to make quick assumptions that influence the idea of both of the films starting of to be not as they really are. I assumed at the openings of both films and authentically thought that both films were going to be very serious. However, on the contrary they really did both prove me wrong, by being fun-loving and exasperating action was to be followed.  

I am supremely assured, that everyone has passed the phase of being on the brink of adolescence. The sentimental saga of going through them un-missed stages frequently comes up, but on a fairly rare occasion. Stand by Me, seriously does bring these accounts back into the system and its hilarious how you can remember them, just by roughly an hour and a half of watching this instigated film.

A significant background of these four boys is demonstrated in the film, as they all share the varied formidable home truths that lie in their minds, as they trek on with their journey. They get past their personal turbulences, through one simple thing, the ability to abstain a quirky friendship connection. That’s another moral to take into account. The momentum of differences between the two varying films, is a great converse.

Reaching its paramount expectations and to me, a dismantled epic. The Goonies, certainly isn’t made for the faint hearted! An endless escapade.  Despite, the front cover being slightly dishevelled and nursery sand pit looking, this film has an inner depth. An India Jones pre-teen film, in which younger kid’s infertile minds could run riot. My mind really did run overactive in wild imagination whilst watching this rowdy film.

The Goonies is almost a telepathic hole for viewers to pursue young and inexplicable dreams. It’s trepidation. Portraying valiant young children on high pressures of sugar with a crew of; Mouth (Corey Feldman), Dada (Jonathan Ke Quan), Chunk (Jeff Cohen) , Mike (Sean Astin). As stated, these are the four main boys led by the diminutive Mikey leads through the “booty traps” (Dada’s hilarious line)!!

Some harsh criticism can be truffle shuffle. This is a nostalgic acknowledged about this film. Maybe perhaps, some people would say, “I would fine nothing entertaining about four wailing kids”, “Didn’t like it as much as people in my generation”. The majority of people that have been asked about this film are mainly highly entertained by this film and can’t help but shake the gem for many, but in a different way to “stand by me”.

The story line is very mature however, defined much certainly opposing that thought. Mikey leads the group through the motivation of meanwhile, him knowing that his house and hometown may be demolished and obliterated and be transformed into a new, upcoming golf course. Fate pursues him, as all the pirate junk they found at his house soon reveals to be the key to redeem his house.  This many sound, quite quest classified however, quick assumptions can’t be made!

The teenage cast hints that this film may be set for the teenage audience. Grasping most factors of the teenage film criteria, of which consists as stereotyping an asian geeky kid, a fat kid named Chunky, an outspoken leader type, typical pretty in pink girls (two of them) and the jock who is the leaders elder brother. There are various teenager type scenes in the film, the well where the “cool boys” have a chat about their teenage lust for girls at the well and where Mikey gets a kiss. Not forgetting a well-found part of all teenage films the happy ending! All this suggests that perhaps this film may be for teenagers.

In spite of the target audience the movie, can be watched by anyone of any age through all the walks of life. Wittingly, both films hit the audiences through their scenes, however, both in the act of nostalgia. However, in the Goonies it does it in a more infantile way. The villains in this film were hard to come to a serious minset, as a contrast to the villains in Stand by me where the characters are much more believable.

Stand By Me and The Goonies, both are magnificent films of 80’s period. Predominantly, in actual fact The Goonies has been purposely made for kids, however elder generations still love to watch it as remembrance of what they enjoyed watching during their childhood. However, when viewers watch Stand By Me they get nostalgic and are reminded of their life when they were young and being at the brink of adolescence, as a pose to what the whacky shows they enjoyed to watch when they were young. Moreover, the way each film attracts the audience outweighs the concerns of what age group you should categorise each film by.
