The kids in "Bad Boys" are hardened 1980s street criminals, while the kids in "The Outsiders" are 1950s Nebraska greasers, living in a time when even their toughness belongs to a more romantic tradition. But even so, those are real kids in "Bad Boys," while Coppola's teenagers seem trapped inside too many layers of storytelling. Advertisement.
Oct 12, 2021 · The Outsiders: Film Review. Uniquely and stunningly overdramatic, The Outsiders is turned by Francis Ford Coppola and his cast, against all odds, into an incredibly engrossing picture. When The Outsiders opens, it is the early 1960’s (or so we can assume from advertisements for The Hustler plastered across cinema marquees) in an unnamed ...
But whether even kids will be able to take The Outsiders seriously is a hard question. Whether by fidelity to his source or by director's embellishments, Coppola has come up with a story about tough kids who appreciate sunsets and recite Robert Frost from memory, about members of a mid-American urban underclass who ponder their situations with the dispassionate acumen of sociologists.

Sep 8, 2022 · The film did stay true to the book, so I give it props for that. However, I just don’t think the themes translated well over time. With Francis Ford Coppola directing and the likes of Matt Dillon, Patrick Swayze, and, Rob Lowe The Outsiders had all the makes of a sure-fire hit. Sadly, this film did not stay gold and simply missed the mark.
