The producers of the film have decided to change the title. They have picked the title of a song (Ben E. King\u2019s \u2018Stand By Me\u2019) from the period the film is set in to be the film\u2019s title. They also use the song in the film\u2019s soundtrack.
\n
\nWhy do you think the film title is different that that of the books\u2019? Do you think that the phrase \u2018Stand By Me\u2019 tells us more about the film than the phrase \u2018The Body\u2019?
\n
\nWhy have the maker\u2019s chosen the title of a song from the period for the title of the film? Does this have any relevance to the fact that the title song \u2018Stand By Me\u2019 was re-released at the time of the film\u2019s release? What is the purpose of releasing both song and film at the same time?
\n
\nThis task requires you to respond to the questions above. Think about your answers thoroughly, do not write one sentence answers that vaguely answer the question. These questions are asking you to think why a producer would make these choices and require you to do some research.

The dead boy is just a part of the movie. I think the phrase "Stand by Me" tells us more about the film then the title "The Body".
\nI think the maker's choose the title of a song from the period for the title of the film to help keep the movie in the era it was set in. I think it was relevant to release the movie and its main song at the same time. The purpose of releasing the film and song at the same time because if people see the movie and like the song they might want to buy it.","dateCreated":"1249182723","smartDate":"Aug 1, 2009","userCreated":{"username":"ttaayyllaa","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/ttaayyllaa","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}},{"id":"13410249","body":"I think that the title "stand by me" is appropriate for this film, as the movie is about four boys and a journey that they take to find a dead body but there is much more invovled in the film for example their future or their bond as four boys. If the movie had of been called "The Body" it would just have been based souly on the dead body instead of the journey that they took to find the dead body.
\n
\nI think that the makers of the movie wanted to realise the movie "Stand By Me" as the same title as the song "Stand By Me" in the same time frame as that way when they heard the song they would think of the movie and want to watch it or visa versa, so they would have to buy either one of the movie or the film.","dateCreated":"1249210091","smartDate":"Aug 2, 2009","userCreated":{"username":"alex_dipalma","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/alex_dipalma","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}},{"id":"13421679","body":"I think that the title 'Stand by me\u2019 relates with the movie and its scenes through out the whole movie. This shows from the beginning where Gordie is reading the mews paper and he go back in to his memory of a great journey of finding a dead body and all four boy Chris , Teddy ,Vern and Gordie depend on each other and they are always there if any thing happens they are always together.
\n
\nThe reason behind the maker of this film releasing the movie the same time as the song stand by me , is to promote the movie in one way and for us to put In a suspense of what is going to happen in the movie","dateCreated":"1249300971","smartDate":"Aug 3, 2009","userCreated":{"username":"kriyal-deo","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/kriyal-deo","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}},{"id":"13462469","body":"I think the title \u2018Stand by me\u2019 is a different type of phrase if your comparing it with other movies like this, but in another way it suites it because it\u2019s like four innocent boys on a journey with each other hanging out as you would do when you\u2019re their age. If this movie was called \u2018The Body\u2019 it sounds sad as in someone had died or there is a missing body, but it\u2019s clearly not that type of movie.
\n
\nAlthough this is a great movie title because it all relates to the actual original song \u2018Stand by me\u2019. It\u2019s also really promoting this movie. The makers of the film have done a good job by relating the movie and song into it all together.","dateCreated":"1249547026","smartDate":"Aug 6, 2009","userCreated":{"username":"tizz-","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/tizz-","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}},{"id":"13462481","body":"I think the movie tile is different from the book because \u2018The Body\u2019 doest tell us much about the book\/movie and it makes the book seem like something scary and not many people like scary things. So if the movie was called \u2018The Body\u2019 not many people would go and if the people who liked scary movies went and saw it they would be disappointed. I think that Stand By Me tells us more about the movie then The Body would.
\nI think the makers of this film choose the song from the period of time because it was a great song and it related to the story line of the film. I think that because of the film and the song coming out at the same time and putting the song in the movie gave it more publicity and if they liked the song in the movie then they would go and buy it.","dateCreated":"1249547092","smartDate":"Aug 6, 2009","userCreated":{"username":"Haylee_25","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/Haylee_25","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/pic\/1247812528\/Haylee_25-lg.jpg"}},{"id":"13463799","body":"I think that the movie title "Stand By Me" suits the movie quite well. It tells us more about the movie than the "Body". I don't think that the "Body" would suit the movie as it sounds scary.
\n"Stand By Me" is about 4 boys on a journey together looking out for each other. The movie also had the song "Stand By Me" which was realeased at the same time as the movie and it really suited the movie too.
\n
\nThe film makers choose this song because it was from the same period and when the public would hear the song they would want to watch the movie and buy the song.","dateCreated":"1249557232","smartDate":"Aug 6, 2009","userCreated":{"username":"Vincent_Ricupati","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/Vincent_Ricupati","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}},{"id":"13464031","body":"I think the title stand by me doesnt tell you to much of the movie which makes you want to watch which suits quiet good. the body says to much and you basically know what it is going to be so it was a wise choice.
\nThe directors by choosing the same title movie as song would help it because it was a well known song of its period time.This would help the song on the charts plus help build the movie to be as big as the song.","dateCreated":"1249560343","smartDate":"Aug 6, 2009","userCreated":{"username":"Cory_5","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/Cory_5","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/pic\/1247873067\/Cory_5-lg.jpg"}},{"id":"13503455","body":"I think that the title of the movie does tell u a bit of what to expect from the movie and even more after you look at the cover. The title "Stand By Me" kind of gives you the idea that the movie is about someone sticking together through a rough time and then looking at the cover and seeing the four boys you get the idea that the movie is about the four boys sticking together as they go through their problems.
\nI think that it was very smart that the director chose the name of the song to be the name of the movie because it talks more about the friendship of the boys where as the books title "The Body" reveals more about that actual story line. I think that it was more important they revealed the boys friendship in the title because it shows how close they already were before they started their journey.","dateCreated":"1249890149","smartDate":"Aug 10, 2009","userCreated":{"username":"luke_calamia","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/luke_calamia","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/pic\/1247832755\/luke_calamia-lg.jpg"}}],"more":0}]}],"more":false},"comments":[]},"http":{"code":200,"status":"OK"},"redirectUrl":null,"javascript":null,"notices":{"warning":[],"error":[],"info":[],"success":[]}}
