    They were portrayed as four unique and entertaining individuals. Wil Wheaton (playing Gordy Lachance), presents his character’s troubles and emotions appropriately, helping the audience understand the struggle that Gordy is facing at the death of his brother. This is heightened by the absence of emotional and psychological support from his mother and father, who Gordy believes to have preferred his brother. Chris despite his own dark background is an unlikely companion to Gordy, helping him through his experience. Chris has his own troubles however, he has been labeled from his birth: his father and brother are a bad sort, and so he will turn out to be the same. Though these stereotypes bring him down he demonstrates the characteristics of a resilient and self-assured adolescent, and leads Gordy and their band on their adventure. Teddy Duchamp is most definitely the most goofy and foolish boy of the group. He acts like he has not a care in the world, leaving his friends wondering if he’ll make it to 20 years old. Although he presents this appearance, he is hiding behind a mask. Like Gordy and Chris, he comes from an abusive background. His father, after coming home from service in a war, turned to drink and became violent and uncontrollable. Teddy longs for a loving and caring father and still defends him at every opportunity. Completing the small group is Vern. He is depicted as the childish

  • Analysis Of The Movie Stand By Me

    2007 Words  | 5 Pages

    The movie Stand By Me based on the book The Body written by Stephen King, is about a group of four boys who go on a journey to find a body of a dead boy. It’s a flash back that one of the main characters, Gordie, is having after he reads that his best childhood friend gets stabbed. He is writing a story about this experience. This movie was filmed in 1986 directed by Rob Reiner. The functionalist theory, the conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism are all good sociological ways to analyze this movie. There are also a few other concepts that are present in the film, agents of socialization, mechanical solidarity, deviance, and the control theory.

    ...nly seen in everyday television. Common beliefs of black families being more aggressive, having lesser moral values, and living less socially acceptable and lawful lives can be clearly seen through the actions of the white characters, and the thoughts that Chris expresses throughout the episode. The show uses satire to exaggerate black stereotypes to the point where it means the opposite of the comedic nature of which it was presented. The treatment and visualization of the lives of the black characters in the episode, through comedy and exaggeration, clearly shows the real-life problem of black stereotyping that is still all too present in American life. Chris’ everyday life as a black student in a white school and struggle to “fit in” is a struggle that non-white students have faced and are still facing today.

    Life is fragile, everything that knows life will eventually meet death; it is impossible to mention one without the other. Humans have grasped the concept of life and death more so than any other species, yet we still consider it one of the great unknowns. All man knows in regards to life, he learns from his experiences with death. Man can look to many classic and religious texts searching for the meaning of life, but the only way one can truly learn it is through experience. To many, finding happiness means first coming to terms with the finite stretch of life one has and then making the most of it. Many films try to breach the subject of the preciousness of life, but only a few seem to hit as deeply as ones told through the eyes of a child.

    Throughout the entire film, there are lessons that are being taught. Whether is the central theme of not judging someone by their skin color but by their character or showing the essence of what the meaning of family really is. Through the setting, acting, and relationships shown it all comes together to make the perfect film. I recommend this film be seen by everyone at least once in their lifespan, because the lessons that are depicted in there are valuable. It is the perfect movie to go see with your family and makes you grateful and thankful for everyone that you have in your life. The film brings joy, happiness, tears, laughter and much more.
