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.

“Always and everywhere children take an active role in the construction and acquisition of learning and understanding. To learn is a satisfying experience, but also, as the psychologist Nelson Goodman tells us, to understand is to experience desire, drama, and conquest.”
—Carolyn Edwards (20th century)
“Language makes it possible for a child to incorporate his parents’ verbal prohibitions, to make them part of himself....We don’t speak of a conscience yet in the child who is just acquiring language, but we can see very clearly how language plays an indispensable role in the formation of conscience. In fact, the moral achievement of man, the whole complex of factors that go into the organization of conscience is very largely based upon language.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“Recent studies that have investigated maternal satisfaction have found this to be a better prediction of mother-child interaction than work status alone. More important for the overall quality of interaction with their children than simply whether the mother works or not, these studies suggest, is how satisfied the mother is with her role as worker or homemaker. Satisfied women are consistently more warm, involved, playful, stimulating and effective with their children than unsatisfied women.”
—Alison Clarke-Stewart (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)
