You know, I love movies about kids. My favorite is 1986’s classic “Stand by Me;” about four boys who go on a hike to bear witness to the body of a dead classmate, killed by a train, that the cops haven’t found yet. It’s a powerful rite of passage; they become aware of the fleetingness of mortality.
