One Awsome Coming Of Age Flick! "Stay Golden Pony Boy!" Nature’s first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf’s a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay. – Robert Frost I’ve been thinking about it, and that poem, that guy that wrote it, he meant you’re gold when you’re a kid, like green. When you’re a kid everything’s new, dawn. It’s just when you get used to everything that it’s day. Like the way you dig sunsets, Pony. That’s gold. Keep that way, it’s a good way to be...And don’t be so bugged over being a greaser. You still have a lot of time to make yourself what you want. There’s still lots of good in the world. Tell Dally. I don’t think he knows. Your buddy, Johnny.
I absolutely love this movie. It is about divisions of people in society which many people can relate to now. It was one of the first movies I watched when I was younger, and has stuck with me for years. I have always wanted to own this movie. It is a tragedy but in the end important lessons are learned and some people change their views and put aside their differences. Most people have probably already seen the movie, but in my opinion it is a great movie to add to your collection. I consider it a classic with an all star cast, some are up and coming actors who's performances led them to a great career. It is a MUST SEE!
I had never seen this movie. Frankly, I'd never heard of it, but after looking up the story behind it and being amazed at the cast that made the film, I had to order it. All of these actors are A-list, but what's so intriguing is they were in that period of their lives when they were just getting started in films; they were all kids! The story itself is really engaging and looks like it was all shot in real locations, not on sets. The lines for most of the characters are simple, but realistic to who they are supposed to be. There's real feeling in the story and acting. This is a Coppola film, and it is well done. I wish I'd seen it when it was released, but that doesn't matter as it may be that I not only appreciate it now, but perhaps maybe more so now. Seeing where these fine actors got their starts and knowing the successes their careers have had is very gratifying. Great DVD, great film!Read full review
