In the film the four chief(prenominal) characters are, Chris, who is the tough one, berth, who is the daring one, Gordie, Whos the sensitive one and Vern, whos adept stupid because he asks stupid questions. They hear that a kid has been killed by a contract and theyve gone to lookfor him. The history is about them growing up and becoming more(prenominal) mature, Friendship, Bullying and an adventure(themes).The Night video takes place towards the end of the film. They are wholly smoking around the campfire talking about daft things such as what is Goofy?(the Disney character). This tantrum is important because it shows their friendship and how they are either told tightly fitting friends, asking Gordie to narrate them a story because they every believe he is a truly good story teller/writer.The night scene opens with a shot of the moon and whence calmly moves down and into the forest to were they are all smoking around the campfire. There is no medical specialty at the start of the scene, but there is music towards the end of the scene (once they have finished talking some music comes on, the music is 50s because it makes you heart as if the film is set in the mid-fifties. There are sounds of birds and crickets (wildlife) at the start which makes you have as if its real life.The Gang ask Gordie to tell them a story, so he tells them a story about a boy called Lardass, who enters a pie eating disputation, he doesnt want to win the competition he just wants revenge. Lardass is a overweight kid who is truly unpopular, his buddy and sister even call him Lardass (Lardass is his nickname). Before the competition he drinks a bottle of castor oil and one raw egg, this is all to do with his revenge. Halfway through the competition his plan had started to work, he was drift all over the champion of last year, then the champion was sick all over another person. Not until the smell reached the crowd did his plan really work, when the smell hit the crowd every body was being sick over everybody.Verns reaction to the story was that of stupidity, when he asks Gordie if Lardass had to pay to get in the competition. Teddy didnt like the determination probably because it didnt have anything to do with battle or killing. He says the ending should be that Lardass goes home, shoots his dad then joins the Texas Rangers. Teddy thinks like that because deep down inside he hates his dad and thats what he would do to his dad. Chris thought the ending was brilliant, as he was being very supportive and also saying it was brilliant. The story relates to the gang, as they are all outcasts like Lardass. You can also tell the story related to them because it was set in a very similar town to theirs. You could see the story as if it was on the television, physically seeing the story made you feel as if it was going into Gordies imagination.Once they had finished talking about the ending of the story, Chris turned on the radio which was playing fifties music, the music was fifties to remind you what year the film was set in, it also set the scene, bit by bit fading away as they start to talk. They show their friendship by talking to one another about daft things, such as what is Goofy. The camera fades from one person to another, it doesnt let you hear the whole conversation, it just keeps changing subject. It also shows the friendship with camera shots around the campfire, looking close and warm.The mood of the scene changes when they hear the noises of the wildlife, at first only Vern showed that he was scared. Teddy was scaring Vern even more by saying it was the ghost of the light boy. Teddy was saying that he wanted to look for the kids ghost and then all of a sudden a big howl echoed in the woods, at this point everybody was scared. Vern showed that he was the wimp of the gang by rustling I think we should stand guard. They gang approve of his notice and Teddy is first to stand guard, he was acting as if he was i n a War of some sort. When Vern was guarding he was really scared, pointing the flatulence at every noise he heard.Gordie and Chris were talking because Gordie had a incubus about his brothers funeral. His nightmare was that his dad whispered into his ear It should have been you.
