Role in The Film
In the Silver Bullet, the film adaptation of King's novel, Brady Kincaid, 13, is Marty Coslaw's best friend. Brady is depicted as being rebellious, as he likes to pull pranks, is known to smoke marijuana, refers to Marty as "the Mad Man Marty" and to school as "jail".
Early on in summer vacation from school, probably sometime in July, Brady and Marty go to the park to fly kites. As dinner time has come and gone, Marty's mother, Nan, sends Jane to find Marty. While Marty retreats for home before sunset and the rise of the full moon, Brady decides to stay in the park, in an attempt to defy his father. That night, Herb Kincaid goes to the pub to ask if anyone has seen Brady. Shortly thereafter, Sheriff Joe Haller finds Brady dead on the bandstand. At his funeral, Reverend Lester Lowe tells the congregation that the time of the Beast always passes.

Famous quotes containing the words role in the, role and/or film:
“Certainly parents play a crucial role in the lives of individuals who are intellectually gifted or creatively talented. But this role is not one of active instruction, of teaching children skills,... rather, it is support and encouragement parents give children and the intellectual climate that they create in the home which seem to be the critical factors.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“Whatever we’re doing, whoever we are, it isn’t enough. . . . Little wonder we have trouble finding role models to guide us through these shoals. No one less than God Herself could be all the things we’d like to be to all the people we’d like to feel approval from.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
“You should look straight at a film; that’s the only way to see one. Film is not the art of scholars but of illiterates.”
—Werner Herzog (b. 1942)
