The Goonies: What's It Really About?
1,233The nostalgia of 1980’s coming of age films is an unbeatable feeling. There’s nothing quite as comforting as sitting on your couch on a rainy day and watching a good old-fashioned adventure from your formative years. And for some, Richard Donner’s The Goonies is the pinnacle of such nostalgia. The movie follows a group of teenagers who call themselves The Goonies (after their neighborhood in Astoria, OR) who embark on a treasure hunt through the town’s underground caves in hopes to find the legendary ‘rich stuff’ that local icon One-Eyed-Willy left behind. Along the way they’re in for encounters with the town’s local crime family, The Fratelli’s. They’re after the treasure themselves and they’re willing to go to nearly any length to get it.
The movie is a classic, of course, but something that we feel has been missing from the internet is speculation on the film’s many themes and what the movie is truly about. Now, even if the film holds no deeper than meeting than just being a fun adventure movie- it would still be one of the greatest films of the decade. However, we think there may be more than meets the eye with this film and today we’re going to break down the movie, as well as the filmmakers involved in making it to figure out what the Goonies is REALLY about.
