A chubby and stupid, a crazy and impulsive neurosis, a handsome rebellious and righteous man, and a talented man who went forward courageously. The four friends embarked on a journey of "corpse hunting" that has experienced difficulties and obstacles, talking and laughing and helping each other along the way. Help each other, confide in their hearts, confess their true feelings, experience fighting trains, crossing the jungle, camping in the wild, biting the "roots" of dogs, and sucking "the second" leeches. While fighting against a group of cheating and arrogant youths, they also expressed their own individuality. The fragile and forbearing side of their hearts, through this journey, they have the ability to bravely face and actively fight against unfair destiny and reality. They have taken a valuable step on the road of ignorant youth and brought forward the age that should have been carefree. Accepting mature experience, writing a page of extraordinary significance in the childhood lack of family warmth and caring, from their confusion, pessimism, and hesitation to the brave, positive, and strong mentality, it has also awakened a lot of mediocrity. The mediocre and bleak reality has strong resonance and childhood memories that have been sealed for a long time.

This is a very simple and pure film that can withstand repeated viewing and the test of time. The endurance is extraordinary. The touching and sweet soundtrack is the finishing touch of this film. Those rich pictures and emotional melody have been in Hovering in my mind, enough to make the boring ears awe, this endless-heard ost must have a place in the most conspicuous position of the bookshelf, when the familiar and beautiful "Stand By Me" sounds, not only the screen of the movie is in front of you It flashed, as if returning to the adventure journey of watching the four little kids, and the memories and feelings of childhood after the transition. Of course, this movie has always been talked about by people, and it is an important reason to take it out and revisit it. , Is among the leading actors, the most dazzling one is undoubtedly the handsome and tough side by side, the perfect combination of strength and appearance, even the selfless and great God will be jealous of River Phoenix, a young age with this movie to prove himself , Showed amazing and extraordinary talent and acting skills, too short life, such as a shooting star across the night sky, still seems to be immensely embarrassing and regrettable now,

In the film, River Phoenix plays Chris. His rebellious attitude, steady thoughts, stubborn heart and firm eyes have become a lingering memory in his mind. It seems that all the beautiful words are difficult to be comprehensive and appropriate. Describe the shining light on him, and always miss this shining star who is full of heroic spirit and talent. The director deliberately set the family background of the four children into a painful and gloomy growth environment. Chris has an alcoholic dad who is often violent. Gordy has a pair of parents who are full of indifference and neglect and cannot escape the death of a good brother. In addition, The two have a military father who is admitted to a mental hospital and a bullying brother. In the eyes of others, they are uncompromisingly problematic teenagers, and the family part has an unshirkable responsibility, which undoubtedly left them in their hearts. The shadows of obliteration and severe family problems usually play two extreme roles. One is the behind-the-scenes pusher who fell into the dark abyss, who is willing to fall into the dark and confused, and the other is the positive energy weapon that stimulates potential and strength. Get rid of fate and realize their dreams, fortunately, they finally have the courage to face and overcome reality.

Imagine that the director portrays them as obedient cubs who grow up happily under the care and love of their parents. That would be too dull and weak. The motivation and the level of aspiration that made them reborn are completely lost, and there is no direct infection of the hearts of the people. Strength and conviction, pain can create deep and long-lasting touch, and happiness can only have a brief moment of happiness. These four children, especially Chris and Gordy, are facing choices at the most critical bifurcation in their lives. On the surface, they are faced with choices, understanding and care that have never been given, preconceived prejudices, the cold alienation of their parents, and the insults and doubts of others. They are good at entertaining themselves, but it is still difficult to get rid of pessimistic and negative emotions deep in their hearts. It was not until the end of this journey that they truly got rid of the shackles and entanglements of darkness, found a positive and bright life direction, and each stepped towards On a completely different path, Chris became a lawyer, Gordy became a writer as he wished, and the other two also lived in a stable and ordinary life.

Regardless of the self-changes affected by objective reasons, sincere friendship is still the core and theme of this film. At the end of the film, the words written by Gordy, the father of the two children, on the computer must have hit a lot of people. My heart: "They are just passers-by in our lives. This kind of thing is inevitable. Some friends often pass by in a flash, just like pedestrians on the road... I never had the same group as when I was twelve. Everyone is as good as a friend, maybe everyone is the same." I feel lonely and helpless in the temper of life, taste the warmth and coldness of the world, understand the complicated and changeable human relationships, and be disturbed by the complex circle of friends, believe Not many people will unconsciously open the yellowed and old photo album in their minds, recalling the innocent and brilliant innocent smiles that the little friends used to put on their faces in the past, and play and joke together. Let's work together and walk hand in hand on the adventure, chatting freely together without scruples, and miss the simple friendship and the little things together. Perhaps most people will be like the four children in the film, eventually going their separate ways, having their own lives, and even gradually estranged from each other, but this kind of humanity with regret is sometimes a kind of precious, it is a kind of The beauty left for memories.
