Stand By Me

The most important part of a theatrical performance is the actors. Without the actors there wouldn’t be a show. In Hairspray there were many actors who were key to this show. Some of the top characters in the musical were Tracy, Edna, Velma, and Amber. The first actor, who played Tracy, was not a bad actor, but I feel that she could have been more full out. I noticed that while dancing and singing, she was not doing it full out. It almost felt as though she and many others were marking the performance throughout the dances and singing part. The next actor, who played Edna, was amazingly funny and full out. He was the highlight of the show. The third actor, who played Velma, made me feel a disliking of her, which is what is meant to be felt because she is a controlling, racist, and body shaming boss, which nobody should like. I feel like the way she presented her character was right, but she could have added more, almost to the point the audience hates her. The last actor, who played Amber, was spot on, her character was meant to be a queen bee and act as though she has power because her parent does. I feel like the

They really played up the stakes they were given; especially the Baker and his wife. Their urgency to need to lift the curse off of them was played up and caused the audience to relate to their needs. Julia Wilkinson’s portrayal of the Witch was outstanding, not only did I feel fully emersied in the world she had created with her performance. Her singing ability made her part in “Prologue” memorable and made me excited for the rest of the production. I also felt like Chase Guthrie’s performance as the Baker was on par with Julia’s. Not only was his character funny and a sense of comic relief; but in the moments of pain Chase really made the audience believe him and empathize with him. He seemed fully given over to the character which made the highs in the plot higher and the lows even more heartbreaking. I however I felt as though some of supporting cast took away from the performance. It was apparent that the director and cast decided to play the supporting characters in a more comedic way; which for the most part was great and gave a lighter tone to more intense pats, but sometimes caused it to come off as surface level performances. For the most part I felt as though the performances were outstanding throughout and only the added ill-timed comedy took away from the

In the visual text Stand by Me directed by Rob Reiner an important theme is growing up, Maturing, experienced new emotions, and the importance of friendship.These themes are portrayed by four young boys.thourgh their risky mission they have unlifted.Rob Reiner using a variety of techniques to show their experience that led them through a life-changing and metaphorical journey.

All of the actors were believable and had great articulation and volume. Each character was great but there were only two who stood out from among the rest, Naz Edwards and Bryan Lark. Naz never lost her character. She stayed committed throughout her entire performance. The amount of dedication she gives to her craft is amazing and it shows throughout the play. Naz Edwards is a New York actress. She has performed on and off Broadway, in tours and regionally across the United States and Canada. Naz had arguably the hardest role in the entire play. She never cracked a smile, or never allowed her face to show any sympathy for anyone else. Bryan Lark, an up and coming actor gave the audience much needed laughter throughout the play. With this being only his second play with the Performance Network Theatre he did a fantastic job. Bryan and Naz were great assets to the

This Movie also shows viewers how to be good sports although they encounter with one of the higher class kids of their neighborhood of course Benny and his team win and celebrate their victory by going to the local carnival and end up doing the most stupid things any of them could think of. Other things i also liked about this movie is that they worked as a team and help each other when needed also how most of them still were friends when older. Things i don't like about the Movie is how they can be very hard headed when it came to getting Smalls Ball back Smalls says that instead of trying to sneak up on the beast maybe asking Mr.Mertle if he can get the ball back Squints tells Smalls that Mr.Mertle was one of the meanest old man ever, but that wasn't the case

The teenagers realize they are still children, who still need to grow up and still need their moms and dads. The narrator makes it very clear at the end of the story that the boys have realized that they are not really ready for the real world, and that they still have a lot of growing up to do. “I wanted to get out of the car and retch; I wanted to go home to my parents’ house and crawl into bed” (128).

Stand By Me is a movie based on a novel by Stephen King. It tells the story of four preteens, who during a boring summer day, embark on a journey to find the body of a dead twelve year old, who has been missing by news accounts, but known to them, to be lying in the woods near a river bank. The story is told as an historical narrative about the lives and relationships of the four main characters in this movie, Gordy, Chris, Teddy, and Vern. In this essay, I will discuss how communication, and self-concept, affects the characters, and their interactions.

The film felt fast paced, and unreasonable, with the relationship between Charlie and Miss Kinnian, but besides that, they were both great artistic

The performance of “The Flick” is excellent, and it also refreshes my impression about the play and the characters. When I read the play, I thought Avery was a young and energetic man. But the cast who play Avery present an abnormal man. The way he sweep and the way he talk all display his timid and nervous. He always slightly bent back and sweep carefully. His voice is low and he can not finish a sentence smoothly. Just like his body is shaking while he is talking. In contrast, the cast who play Sam present a strong and outgoing man. He talks a lot, and sweep quickly and carelessly. Sam is not friendly as I expect. He is hostile towards Avery. Sam present he is smarter than Avery and want to show he is better than Avery in front of Rose.

     The actors are believable in their roles. Steven Martin who acts as George Banks is outstanding in his role, he acts very well, so the audience knows his feelings, and feels sorry for him. The stars are not the main reason for me to see the film, but the title is.

Synopsis Stand by Me was originally written in 1982 by renowned author Stephen King, who has written close to 96 award-winning books and novellas focusing on horror and the supernatural. Although most of his work has been successfully adapted onto the screen already, the author announced when Stand by Me, originally called The Body, was released in 1986, that it was his favourite big screen adaptation which “brought him to tears because it was so autobiographical and brought an emotional gradient to the story”. The story follows the journey of four young best friends in Castle Rock Oregon in 1955, who set out to find the dead body of Ray Bower, a young boy their age who was killed by a train. The film is told through the recollection of the

An important relationship between characters in the film “Stand by me” Directed by Rob Reiner is the relationship between two characters, Chris Chambers and Gordie LaChance. We gain an understanding of this relationship through the use of dialogue, different camera shots, music and the parallel between Teddy and Vern.“Stand by me” gives us the story, narrated by adult Gordie, about a particular Journey involving four childhood friends, Teddy, Vern and Chris that happened in the summer of 1959 and that his outlook on life forever.

Comment: I found this film very tough going- it is undoubtedly a well made film and has some clever and quirky moments. However I lost interest around halfway through the film and could not engage with the film and its clunky style. A lighter touch would have made a huge difference to the viewing experience. Perhaps as an artistic statement it deserves more than three stars but as a movie going experience it was only a little bit better than average.

It was also great for children to watch as well as adults. The characters in the movies are all rude, snobs, and treated everyone and everything terribly. The main characters in the beginning of the movie (Charlie's family was very nice). Charlie and his grandfather were the only nice ones that made it into the factory.

With the actor’s swift reflexes, it was only natural that the ensemble between everyone was very much viewed. Such examples were between Anais Saenz who during the third act was playing Scratchy and Travis Brasher who played Itchy. During this act, the two actors are imitating two characters off the show The Simpsons, the minions to Mr. Burns. In this scene, the two actors must work in sync and during the scene, It is my opinion that they did a fantastic job at doing so. Just the way that all the
