An amazing scene from an amazing movie.

4. Great story! I remember reading it as "The Body" in a Stephen King collection in the early eighties!

7. Me, too. That ("Different Seasons") collection produced three good movies

"The Body" = "Stand by Me" (four amazing child stars, including River Phoenix who was taken from us WAY too soon)
"Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption" = "The Shawshank Redemption" (just "wow!" that's all)
"Apt Pupil" (movie the same name) Sir Ian McKellen and Brad Renfro (another one who died too soon)

There was a fourth story, "The Breathing Method" that I don't remember anything about. I may have to re-read it one of these days.

I think the reason that "Stand By Me" affected me so deeply was that the four boys were exactly the age I was in 1959, and I could totally relate to everything they experienced (culturally, not the pistol nor the body)

8. The Breathing Method might be difficult to adapt into a film,

since it's basically a story-within-a-story.

I'd watch the hell out of it if someone ever got around to making it into a movie, though.

11. Me too! Two of our group are now dead. One from a drug overdose in 76, the other from

injuries suffered in Vietnam a few years ago.

“I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?”

3. As of interest and irony, Trump's father (Fred) sent him to military school at

age 13 or 14 because DT kept riding the subways from Queens to Manhattan to buy a collection of (hidden) switchblades.

6. Interesting! I have a BIL that was at NYMA with him.
