stand by me

the characters in stand by me all have a very original role. the main characters are four young boys that are best friends. one of the main characters 'gordie lachance' is the one telling the story as an adult looking back on a significant time during his childhood. him and his best friend 'chris chambers' and his two other best friends 'Teddy Duchamp' and 'Vern Tessio' set out to find the dead body of a boy that was allegedly hit by a train. each character sets a specific role in the film which adds to the humour of the film for example the roles make the film very relatable to any boys or men watching the film as they have a very bantery adventorous mentality very typical to most young boys. teddy duchamp for example is the typical fat friend that everyone lightheartedly picks on which adds the humour and innocents to the entire film. then vern tessio adds the more dark side to the film and the adventure they go on with his backstory and life at home, he then adds the intencity to the film but because of him it also shows the close bond the boys have when they have his back. one of the other main characters is gordies best friend chris plays a huge role in the film, he acts as the hero throughout the whole thing as he is extremely selfless and loyal.
