'Stand By Me' And Living In Someone Else's Shadow

SPOILERS! In this video we break down and discuss the 1986 film 'Stand By Me' based on the novel by Stephen King, directed by Rob Reiner, and starring River Phoenix, Wil Wheaton, Corey Feldman, and Jerry O-Connell. We talk in depth about how the film analyzes four young boy's different reactions to living in the shadow of something or someone, which, unfortunately very ironically, is what both Rob Reiner and his son Nick Reiner felt. Rob chose to channel that feeling into his art, and Nick channeled it into something horrific.
