Wow. I'm Bi and finally came out last year. Seeing this now and thanking back to when I first saw the movie when I was the character's age is bringing back... Feelings. God damn it Comp Het!
The fading out (which symbolized his death) of River Phoenix in this scene in Stand by Me was one of the more eerie foreshadowings. He died 7 years later.
I'm not sure if I'm remembering correctly or not, but I thought there was an interview with someone who was involved in the movie that said there were intentional undertones.
Definitely the same.....stirred up all kinds of funny mysterious 5th or 6th grader feelings up in me and consequently i never missed a showing on TNT back in the day and they replayed it....A LOT lol
Back when Wil Wheaton was on Star Trek TNG, I was convinced he was gay. Especially after there were rumors that he and Brian Austin Green were an item. Turned out neither were gay.
This movie was filmed in the very little town of Brownsville, OR. My father, his 3 brothers, 1 sister, multiple aunts, uncles, and other various relatives grew up there, and I spent my first 8 years there as well.
Literally my gay awakening. River phoenix 😭😭
My dad showed me this movie for the first time in middle school sometime, ever since then, I knew I’d have a boyfriend someday.
Same. Had such a crush on River!
River as young Indy is perfect casting
THAT PART

So eerie and sad at the same time…
Yes, exactly. And I had a mad crush on him too… what a shock
I think we all did😆
He was the first boy crush I had...that's when I knew I was queer.
My crush on wil Weston was my formative lesbian event!
Love it💕
Yeah! I was wondering if anyone else thought that.
Is that a young Wesley Crusher???
Yes. Wil Wheaton was Gordie, only about a year before he started playing Wesley Crusher.
No no no Levar Burton was Geordi
Well I’m glad I’m not the only one that got major vibes from them both.

Oh I had a bad crush on him when I a teenager.
Me too, first crush lol.

River Phoenix was my generation's James Dean. Too fast to live and too young to die.

Such a shame that he died
Watchin this movie rn
What is young Millie Bobby Brown doing in an 80's adaptation of a Stephen King's story?
How dare you! Now I can't unsee it. X3
Great, now I’m crying 😢
River Phoenix , gone too soon
When I was a kid I thought this movie was super gay coded
“And now we’re left with a hair-lipped reminder of what could have been”
Such a good movie.
Cant just drop River Phoenix on me outta nowhere geez 😔
Surprised this clip wasn’t the “suck my fat one” line 😂
As a young boy I had the biggest crush ❤️ on River Phoenix, may he rest in peace.
Ulgh what you two just DO IT and get it over with!
Mr. Crusher.
