What Stand by Me boy are you?


Girls feel free to answer too.

I would say I am the Gordie of the group. I was the shy, bookish one and my siblings and cousins were the popular, sporty etc type. I was always compared to my relatives.

I saw this film for the first time when I was 14 and identified with Gordie, even now 10 years later Gordie still reminds me of myself.

Mrs Voorhees is watching you!

I would be Gordie.I found him to be much like me.

reply

Gordie, all the way. Introspective, sensitive, bookish.

Why would you care.
But, this wasn't really a question, was it?


Perhaps the OP just wants to reach out for some sense of community.

i identified a lot with teddy. im reckless and angry and people think im strange. its actually rare for me to identify with someone this much. i find it easier to relate to kids though, haha. but whatever. i think one of the great things about this movie is how everyone can relate to at least one of the kids. nice thread good stuff.

reply

Definitely Gordie, I always relate to him.

I wish I could say I was most like Chris, but realistically I'm kind of if Gordie's personality had a baby with Vern's. Calm and creative, but sometimes lacking common sense. :)

gordie. I love writing and i have lot of imagination. But as far as i can remember, i was Always writing stories in my notebooks.

I hated Jaws, it had too much shark, and dont get me started about King Kong, waaay too much gorilla

Gordie's creativity and bookworm, Vern's naivette, and Teddy's volatility, tho' I oddly have had exactly two Chrises in my life.

I agree with you on Gordie. When I was younger, he was everything I was. I think today as I am a 30 year old male, I still familiarize with the Gordie character amongst not only in my social group, but family and my work environment as well.
