A group of 4 13-year-old boys goes on the search for a dead body. Throughout the movie, there are a few arguments which really make them think about how they are spending two days to find a dead body and they start doubting continuing the search. Gordie Lachance convinces everyone to keep going because he felt like there was something missing because his older brother Denny died in a jeep crash and since then his parents have been ignoring him. They finally find the body and then they run into Ace Merrill and his “Cobras”. They want credit for the find and Ace is willing to kill them. Gordie pulls out a Colt .45 that Chris stole from his dad and make them back off. They set the body to sea and forget the credit for it. They go back to town and all go their separate ways and talk about how they are going to see less of each other now because of junior high.


Something I noticed Old clothes Chris’ clothes is more worn than the others. This shows that chairs’ family does not have a lot of money like the others Stephen King said this was semi-autobiographical soi think he had a really close friend who was poor. Stephen kind chooses a lot of these amazing shots on purpose such as when they got back.

There is not GCI in this movie. I thought the train scene was GCI because they jumped past a train but the way they filmed it was just having the train a lot further away then what it actually was but they zoomed in on the train so it looked closer.

The film's score was unique and gives you a nostalgic feeling which doesn't occur with many other films now. Also, they use the radio as like kind of a mood meter in the day it's more upbeat and at night it plays slower songs.

There are many good sounds but one of the best is when he fired the gun at the barrel it was a lot louder than it should have been and it makes you jump a bit.

This movie plays on a psychological level because it uses some sense of nostalgia that makes you think back to a time that maybe you never experienced which is very interesting how easily human emotion can manipulate that heavily. It makes you feel like you have been there before which I really like. I read a comment on the score soundtrack video saying that they felt they connected more with these kids in the 89 minute run time than any other modern-day move that's 2 hrs or more.

Kratos

For my AP for stories I wrote about a planet named kratos. We learned about stories and different creation myths. We went to the field museum and saw things about old religions passed down by verbal stories.

One day, over a flat planet named Kratos with no water, no grass, no living things just sand. Then one day an orange Fog came over this land and didn't leave for millenniums. This fog was from a void in the sky barrier which was created by Time himself. The planet was named this because father time had a son and he was named kratos. Kratos died from unknown causes and father time went into a deep depression and he vowed he will create a living being to remind him of his son and so he did.

After this fog left the Kratos and went back into the void from which it came,it left behind was interesting though. It brought grass, oceans, weather, and most importantly life. These people, although primitive, they were quite smart. They build tools to ease their labors, and they cared for each other which odd because they were created to survive.

As time went on these beings learned more about themselves and wondered how the got there. Most people forgot but there was one man who was very old and he was very, very wise people said they remembered a fog in the horizon and floated right of the planet's end. The planet was not a sphere it was a flat surface and the end of it was the source for a lot of myths and stories of creatures and demons hanging

The old man knew he will die some day so each day he wrote all of his wisdom on paper and he kept the paper in the walls of his shack and he put a spell of enteral strength on this shed which maney thought was just made up but some believed this man.

Some months had passed since the anyone has talked to the old wise man in the shed. So a group of people went to see if he was ok. What the saw was very intriguing there was no man just blue dust on the floor and some just used tobacco in his pipe on the table.

Just as the people left the old shed a bolt of photons hit the earth in the ocean and cause a fire on the cause the ocean to be on fire for 3 years. Then one day a rain came and put out that fire. The people realised it was 3 years to the day after the man died. After that they went back to their daily lives and they realised that all of this must be for some reason so they tried as hard as possible to learn and increase knowledge and get more in touch with themselves. Before you know it some of the people who saw these events happen stated a religion and ever 3 years everyone poured oil in the local lake and lit in on fire and it burned for 3 day until it rained. The did this every year and every year father time blessed them with more wisdom and that is how it went for many generations. After centuries of this kratos faded into the fog again and everything was gone. Except 3 trees next to each other they produced enough oxygen to give to a sister planet called earth.

My picture is a map about the land that was in the story. you can see different things i talked about in the story such as the fog and the lake they poured in oil and lit it on fire every 3 years.
