That's terrible, and I doubt any of that could have been foreseen. You both experienced it, and it was a great moment in a lifetime. I do have a question, though. To make such a trip, didn't you both have to be kind of skilled on motorcycles? And didn't it cost WAY more than $52 to get to Europe with your motorcycles, and pay for traveling and living expenses? What I'm getting at is the impossibility of this "trip" on the movie. Neither had motorcycles, or even could ride one as far as we know. And with $52 saved up, I doubt that would have covered all of the traveling and living expenses required to make that trip. Could you roughly tell us how you both had to be prepared to make it a reality? It doesn't have to be personal. Congratulations on your trip, and condolences for the loss of your friend.

Now how were they going to go to Europe on $52? Neither of them had motorcycles, and as far as we know couldn't even ride them. Ben was obviously hurting, and now had a chance to go make money. Rocky could have been more understanding and wished him the best, but instead of that went on a tirade tantrum and insulting Ben. Give Ben props for not reminding Rocky how impossible that trip was and not telling him what a freakazoid he looked like. 🙄 Rocky showed what a manipulative control freak jerk he was. If Ben's being around made the difference between life and death for Rocky, then he should be thanked for staying so Rocky could finish his senior year. It was Rocky who was NOT the true friend.

Rocky had every reason to be upset, but overreacted and failed to see Ben's point of view. The look on Rusty's (Rocky's mother) face is her basically saying, "Yeah, Ben. It's best you just leave.

EXACTLY!! People are all calling Ben a "bad friend" when Rocky was the one being a control freak. So Ben couldn't go - on this impossible trip. Rocky could have made other plans but proceeded to insult him. Not a friend at all. I too had a manipulative friend. I had a Friday night off and wanted to go to a football game with my Dad and Brother to watch my youngest Brother play football. My manipulative "friend" wanted me to go hang out with them. I explained that I had plans and he went on an immature tirade tantrum much like Rocky's. I went to the game anyway, and glad I did. My Brother was tragically killed in an accident a year later. When the times came in the future from there to hang out with my "friend", I refused and continued to do so until it was understood that our "friendship" was over. Good riddance.

@texasrockshillcountry6574 Жыл бұрын
Really? He explained that he was having difficulty staying where he was, but now had the opportunity to live with his Father and make money. Rocky could have shown some consideration for Ben's well being, but instead of that he goes on this tirade tantrum deeply insulting Ben. That impossible trip was pie in the sky anyway. Rocky could have made adjustments and other plans. This scene reveals what a manipulative and clingy control freak Rocky really was, and that Rocky was a selfish "friend". If Ben going away was what really caused Rocky's death, than he should be thanked for hanging around so Rocky could finish his senior year.

Instead of blaming it all on Ben, try to see it from his perspective. Ben is the scapegoat here for a dream that was an impossibility. To get to Europe? 5 digits at least. Who amongst them has that kind of money? And how about the motorcycles, where are they? I don't believe either one has a motorcycle license in the U.S. - let alone Europe. No way this dream would have ever happened. The way it was. Ben had to get on with his life, and he tried to be as human as possible. Rocky was a out of line there.

Yes, everyone says what a "bad friend" Ben was, but if you look at it objectively it was Rocky who was the horrible "friend". Ben couldn't go? Make other plans and wish him the best instead of going on that tirade tantrum. Not cool. If it's even true that Ben's "betrayal" was what led to Rocky's death, then he should be thanked for hanging around so Rocky could finish his senior year. That was too control freak and clingy of Rocky, and he was not a real friend.

That was all Rocky's doing. Ben had to get on with his life, and was unable to carry on with that impossible trip. That's just life. Rocky could have been more understanding, and wished him the best. But instead of that he goes on that tirade tantrum revealing what a control freak he was. So Rocky was a horrible "friend".

This really broke Rocky like things may break us, and he gave up on everything, including living.. Rocky had a lot of tough people around him plus the unconditional love from his mom and he looked over that and the fact that he was sick. When you have God ahead of your life things don't won't hurt as bad because he will show you one time that he will turn things around and he understands when we feel down and out but it doesn't please him when we stay down because he is the Truth and keeps his promises.. This was a really Good movie and if you have recently went through this cheer up things will get better Mask..God bless you Cher❤

I disagree.aybe Ben or Rocky's Mom didn't really take it seriously but Rocky did. Life expectancy is an estimation and that kid fought damn hard to live, even through the pain and loss of sleep! He was beautiful to everyone and brought beauty to the earth while he was alive. He deserved it being a reality as well as the respect anyone else would have and have received. I can relate to this scene many times in lifebin regards to people's word meaning absolutely nothing but a waste of valuable time as well as manipulation. When you say something you should intend to follow through exactly as you said you would, period. No one is guaranteed life tomorrow and we all have a life expectancy. Life is to short to invest energy and loyalty on folks that don't even intend to follow through on their word from the get go. On my opinion this is one of the greatest deficiencies in the world today and from actual experience of observation has forced folks to not trust in others. Also to be more solitary.

I think deep down he knew he couldn't go backpacking through Europe; not with the amount of medical care he required with only a boy to help him in a foreign country. A good consolation prize would have been; "you can go to a hospital in Europe, we'll start workin' on 'er now; see if we can get you in one, see about donations and what not to get you there." If anyone could've done it, it would be his mother. It wasn't like her to stand passively by.

People calling Ben a bad friend make me laugh. Ben didn't ditch the trip and Rocky so he could go bang some chick for the summertime. He was leaving to go start his life somewhere making what to him at the time was good money. He was taking his first step into being a grown-up. Cry and cry about poor Rocky and his trip, but if you want to rag on Ben then go look up what is well documented about what Rocky Dennis was like in real life instead of this fictional fairy tale.
