DVD Reviews of The Outsiders - The Complete Novel (Two-Disc Special Edition)
DVD Review: The Outsiders
Summary: 3 Stars
The DVD's I received missed several scenes from the movie including Pony getting jumped, Two-Bit yelling at Johnny's mom, and the court scenes at the end. Frustrating when trying to use as a comparing tool in the classroom.DVD Review: The Outsiders
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is already amazing, and this copy was perfect too(:
the only thing was that it didn't have bonus features, or scene selections and that stuff,, but I'm not a type of person to watch that stuff anyways, so it was great(:
DVD Review: great, classic film
Summary: 5 Stars
Not only do we get to see the beginning performances of Matt Dillon, Patrick Swayze, Tom Cruise, Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, etc careers, but it's also an amazing film adaption of the book. I'm generally disappointed with film adaptations, but this one is a keeper.
The actors and actresses fit their roles beautifully
I highly recommend buying this movie
DVD Review: A True classic Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Sometimes, a Film maker gets to preserve some very special performances by then-unknown actors who go on to greater things. This films features performances from actors like Diane Lane, C Thomas Howell, Emilio Estevez, the recently passed Patrick Swayze all in their acting prime. I showed this film to my 16 year old and he loved it.
It's a wonderfully told story of Social acceptance and the divisions of class brought on by poverty or what part of town you live in. It's also about redemption and the consequences of bad choices. Should be required viewing in all public high schools. You really feel for the youths as they struggle to finds their places in society.
DVD Review: Not what I expected, but very good
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this movie because it was one of the few Patrick Swayze flicks I hadn't seen. The movie was not quite what I expected, as I was expecting something more along the lines of Grease or West Side Story in terms of the rival gang theme. This was more about two boys who get caught up in something that is bigger than they are, and their lives end up taking an unexpected turn.
While not what I thought it would be, it turned out to be an amazing movie that I truly enjoyed and will enjoy again and again. Patrick's role is much smaller than I thought it would be, and while in another movie, that might disappoint me enough to never watch it again, this movie did well enough to convince me to overlook that.
Description of The Outsiders - The Complete Novel (Two-Disc Special Edition)
In 1983, Francis Ford Coppola's film of S.E. Hinton's novel struck a powerful chord with audiences, capturing the intense feelings of being caught between childhood and adulthood, and not belonging anywhere. Decades later, Coppola has revisited the film and reintegrated 22 minutes of character-enriching footage, including a new beginnning and ending more true to the book. A rousing new rock-n-roll soundtrack featuring six songs from Elvis Presley and other music greats make this new version of The Outsiders one of movie history's great rediscoveries.Director Francis Coppola's adaptation of the popular S.E. Hinton novel about the price of rebellious youth is notable chiefly for the stunning cast of young actors who went on to rich and varied careers. In supporting roles, the film features the likes of Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, Diane Lane, Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, and Tom Waits, among others. The story centers on two rival gangs in the early 1960s Midwest, and the violent turf wars that escalate and tragically claim young lives. C. Thomas Howell plays the central character who yearns to prove himself and be accepted by his older brothers' gang, while at the same time finding his first love and dreaming of a life beyond his dead end existence. Geared toward the teenage crowd, the film nonetheless features some fine direction from Coppola in a story that evokes memories of the classic coming-of-age films of the 1950s. --Robert Lane
No one was surprised when Francis Ford Coppola revisited Apocalypse Now, but his overhaul of The Outsiders raised a few eyebrows. Here was a modestly successful film better remembered for its Brat Pack cast than its Oscar-winning director, but The Complete Novel succeeds in bringing more of S.E. Hinton's young adult classic to the screen along with Coppola's epic vision. The story remains the same: The working class greasers and wealthy Socs ("Socials") of Tulsa, OK, circa 1966, are at war. Despite the bigger names in the cast--Patrick Swayze, Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe--the friendship between C. Thomas Howell's Ponyboy and Ralph Macchio's doomed Johnny is still the focus. If anything, Tom Cruise, as an obnoxious greaser, gives the least promising performance, while Matt Dillon (Crash) as the unpredictable Dally and Diane Lane (Unfaithful) as the beautiful Cherry provide a taste of the mature work to come. Aside from 22 minutes of restored footage (including a prologue and epilogue), which add heart and grandeur, The Complete Novel includes several new rock and roll tracks, most by Elvis Presley. In the end, the revamped Outsiders still plays like a cross between Rebel Without a Cause and The Last Picture Show--and that's a good thing. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
