In the campfire scene in which Chris breaks down, Rob Reiner was sure River Phoenix could do better. He asked him to think of a time in his own life when an adult had let him down and use it in the scene, which Phoenix did. Upset and crying, he had to be comforted by the director afterwards. The result of Phoenix's exercise is the scene that ended up in the final cut.

The school employee who he surrendered the money to decided to take advantage of his repentance, and use the money for her own selfish desires, and she could pull it off, because everybody already thought that Chris Chambers had never returned the money.

River Phoenix was an amazing actor. In this scene he projects such vulnerability and emotion that the audience genuinely feels the pain of his character. He died so young and he had so much potential.

[@Hannodb1961]

This is why childhood friendships are deeper than the ones you form in adulthood. Its easier for children to open up and be vulnerable to one another than for adults.

1:58 Nobody is talking about how Gordie never assumed Chris stole the money, he is asking him for the first time here. That is true friend to never think the worse of you even when you have a reputation.

[@JonathonTheAsshole]

Earlier in the movie Gordies Dad told him "He stole your milk money at school he's a thief in my book". Small continuity error in the movie.

[@gatheringleaves]

River nailed this scene, big time!

3:19 No, chris. You did the right thing, man. Ur intentions were good & honest. It's not ur fault the teacher spent it on herself. She should've known better.

[@chichaiwahkap1340]

so and it was not Chris that he stole the milk money, it was a teacher probably did it. by spending.

I like Gordie and Chris as they are both smart sweet boys. It's a good thing for that nasty teacher she lived in a time before CCTV Cameras were invented. Otherwise she would have been caught on camera and the video could be used against her. Thankfully not all teachers are like her. There are nice teachers but not all of them are nice. I'm so sorry, Chris. 😢 Virginia

@@chichaiwahkap1340In reel life the actor who played Chris had trouble crying so the Director told him, he didn’t need to know who, but just to think of somebody who had let him down before, then he began to cry & after the scene they just left River there crying.

[@chombymas7472]

I made up this quote that goes when you see someone crying because they lost a loved one. You are seeing them crying from their heart. But if you see someone crying because they are hurt, you are seeing them crying from their soul.

[@chichaiwahkap1340]

I feel bad for Chris! when he crys like that. that he feels hurt, that Chris think that everyone knew that he stole the milk money. that he was telling to gordie that he was sorry and try to give it back. and which it was not him that he stole the milk money, it's not Chris that he stole it. so everyone blames him for nothing. some people can be rude!

[@paulmacartney8266]

Yeah. I'm sorry for chris. He was born into a bad family but he was different. He became his own man & very wise after stealing milk money from school but also trying to give it back to the teacher only she spent the money on a skirt she liked turning Chris' honest intentions into a total misfire & leaving him suspended from school for three days.
