A Short Synopsis Of The Goonies

If you remember the eighties, then you certainly remember The Goonies. This movie was a classic. On the other hand, if you still haven’t seen it for some crazy reason… Think Pirates of the Caribbean meets Stand By Me meets Indiana Jones meets The Sopranos meets… Well, it’s a whole lot of different movies all wrapped into one, really. It’s primarily an adventure flick, but it makes a lot of stops along the way, and stands as one of the all time classic kids movie downloads.

The movie focuses on Mikey Walsh and his band of “Goonies”, kids from the docks area of Astoria, Oregon. The kids are sort of the outcasts, the rejects, the ne’er do wells of the town, who have a long on-going rivalry with the rich kids. This rivalry comes to a head when the local rich guys plan to foreclose on the neighborhood and turn it into a golf course.

The Goonies take it upon themselves to save the Boon Docks. They start by getting into the attic, where Mike’s dad, a museum curator, has a bunch of old pirate stuff stashed. They find a treasure map leading them to an old restaurant on the coast. The restaurant is run by the Fratellis, a low rent crime family led by Ma Fratelli, a serious ball buster who takes a sort of Bates Motel approach to mothering her children, played by Robert Davi and Joe Pantoliano. They have to figure out how to get under the restaurant to get the treasure without alerting the Fratellis and…

It sounds like a lot of information to take in all at once: Pirates, the mafia, buried treasure, foreclosures… But if you just stay along for the ride, you don’t have to worry about keeping track of all that. Just enjoy it for what it is, a fast paced, action filled adventure romp through caves and crypts, culminating in a showdown on an underground pirate ship.

The movie is really a lot of fun. What makes it work is that it’s shot in a fairly matter of fact style. It doesn’t feel like a fantasy film, really. It feels just as real as Stand By Me or any other coming of age film. The fact that it has pirate ships and all kinds of crazy stuff like that, well, that’s sort of just the background of the movie.

The film was thought to be incredibly fast paced, a little too break-neck, when it was released, but times have changed. Today, you won’t get out of a kid’s movie without seeing seven manic chase scenes, and at least one character getting dragged along an assembly line conveyor belt. The Goonies is relatively laid back in comparison to the madcap CGI films out today.

Anyways, it really is one of the quintessential eighties flicks. The style, the music, the genre, even, it’s all eighties, so at the very least, it’ll bring you back if you grew up in that decade.

It really is a classic in its own right, sort of the family film answer to Indiana Jones. If you remember it from your own childhood, now may be the time to turn your own children on to the adventures of Mikey Walsh and the rest of the Goon Squad.

If you can get it for 1.00 or a couple of dollars, you may want to take the chance. Movies U Can Watch Online Daddy Yankee is one very successful artist and has many more dreams to accomplish. This only incites their passion and things get lethal.
