There are many movies that i watched in my childhood that have left a lasting impression. Stand By Me is somewhere on top of that list. I managed to catch the film on E.tv late last night. The movie finished a little before midnight but it was worth staying up for. Though i must admit i did not share the same sentiments when my alarm clock went if off early this morning.
Back to the matter at hand - Stand by Me. This film is a coming of age adventure-drama story of 4 tween age boys. The first time I watched the movie I was tween myself and I fell in love with the camaraderie the four main characters shared. Watching now I cannot help but fall in love with the story itself. As much as it is about camaraderie it is also about how four little boys from very dysfunctional families and how they negotiate their situations.
