Allright guys ! A little bit of fun in this sad sad world ! (Hey, it's a teenage blog !)
Now, let's talk about a cult and amazing film, The Goonies. Directed by Richard Donner, this film talks about a band of friends who discovered a pirate map to find a treasure. This story is very classical and characters so predictable, but the script has this coolness that only teenmovies have. This film has this particularity to revealed Josh Brolin for his first part.
It's an ode to friendschip and surpassing oneself. The asmathic, the coward, the playboy, the chick,the fatboy... everybody must learn a lot from this adventure, and why not, become rich too. Bad people are really bad, and nice people are your true friends. This message can be simple, but it's another part of adolescence. Find who you are really, and to face the cruel world.
This film is interesting for its murky ambiance. Somewhere in Oregon, a pirate hide his treasure, and this fortune could save the kids neighbourhood threaten to disappear. The script has been written by Chris olombus (Harry Potter) and adapted from a Steven Spielberg's idea... It deals with another teenage fantasy : can resolve problems when adults can't. The neighbourhood's destruction by promoters is the symbol of this end of childness. This kids will be separate, and this adventure, this surpassing oneself is a rite of passage. The Lotney's character (who is a monstruous and retarded boy)represents this fear of adult age, something that you can't control and who disfigure you. But this fear can be controlled, and at the end, Goonies adopte Lotney, because they don't be afraid of this transformation anymore.
I don't think that this film is the best cinematographic object, many others teenagemovies are really better. But, i don't know why, i'm keeping a precise memory of conditions when i saw it, and it's the most important in teenagemovie, because it's the sign of a positive influence... I hope.
"I'll never betray my goon dock friend, We will stick together till the whole world ends, Trough heaven and hell and nuclear war, Good friends like us stick like tar, In city or country or woods or boonies, we proudly declare ourselves to be a goonie."

I'm not sure how I missed this film. It really is a classic, though one that's slipped through the cracks of the annals of coming-of-age movies.
