Stranger Things Intertextuality




Stand By Me is from a children's perspective, and this scene links as it shows the children being rebellious walking on a train track during one of their many adventures.






















The Goonies links to Stranger Things as again it's from a child's point of view and Dustin is compared to one of the main characters in the Goonies pictured on the right.



Eleven in Stranger Things is compared to the Alien in ET from the shots used. For example, this midrange shot which both contain a frightened facial expression as their faces are being lit up via a flashlight. In addition, another connection between the two are that Eleven attempted to be hidden from the government, like ET who is dressed up in a costume and hidden on the bike chase.
