I love the contrast between Chris and Gordy's conversation and Vern and Teddy's. It really does foreshadow how each one ended up in life. Also how Vern and Teddy ended up drifting away.

Yeah, it's oddly beautiful language and truly beautiful sentiments.

1:58 River is the most mature talented child actor I have ever seen here. What a loss. But what an incredible piece of art and performance he left us with here.

Chris is such an amazing friend to Gordie, loyal and protective with a wisdom beyond his years. You can tell he really wants the best for Gordie, even if it means he has to lose his best friend - that's real friendship, putting their happiness before yours

[@humanonearth1]

Amazing dialogue. I never noticed that this is obviously a huge influence on Good Will Hunting. The conflict of the protagonist is identical.

[@DaHistorianGamer]

This scene is the most touching

[@thomashuffman3237]

It’s almost as if Chris is more like a father to Gordie than his ACTUAL father.

[@thebandit0256]

Chris is telling Gordie to not waste his talent like the other Smucks who have Wasted Talent
