- An in depth review of the 1983 film Rumble Fish. IMPORTANT NOTE: I called the fish piranhas, although they are Betta Fish also known as Siamese Fighting Fish. My mistake.
RECENT UPDATE: Upon rewatching this review, I realize that it is quite obvious it is unscripted. I take so many awkward pauses in between sentences, and it overall is kind of a messy video in my opinion. I hope to do a more polished review in the future when I get time.
The bettas are also called Siamese fighting fish, they are not piranhas.
Haha yeah I realized after making it I got it wrong
it wasn't the Motorcycle Boy's motorcycle either. He stole it. @@cinephile6914
Thanks for your review of this great movie based on the S.E. Hinton novel. So many great actors. Sophia Coppola played Diane Lane’s younger sister. If viewers haven’t read Hinton’s novels, check out her earlier novel, “The Outsiders”. Coppola did that movie as well and used several actors in that earlier film…I’m sure most are recognizable.
Maybe edit out the “ummms” next time
Haha Yeahh It’s pretty obvious I just kinda winged it without a script.
@@cinephile6914 like uhm yeah!
I thought that was her
@cinephile6914 Your ideas were interesting, but you admit yourself that it leaves something to be desired when you "wing it". Shame.
Here's a thought: Redo it with emphasis on 3 parts: characters, cinematography, and deeper meaning. You'd have a winner. ✌️✌️
Best movie Coppola ever made
this movie was mind blowing. I loved it. such a tragedy.
Remember this was a reading book we did in high school or middle school...for some reason it was called "The motorcycle boy"
Matt Dillon, he's really good actor.
I love him .♥️
I saw this when it came out at the theater. The Outsiders had just made a big impact, and Rumble Fish was a whole nother story. Yes the cinematography was great. But dont dismiss the soundtrack that was played, and produced by the drummer of The Police, Stewart Copeland. If you have lived a life similar to theirs it hits home better. Rusty James was trying to find himself as a young man. Like all of us, but he had the odds stacked against him. Also having an alcoholic father, and a non existent mother didn't help. The motorcycle boy, his brother,came back to help guide him in i.m.o. . Because he had been through that rough divorce and split of the family at an older age. The motorcycle came back to guide his brother.
LOVE LOVE S.E. HINTON
The motorcycle boy reigns !!!
I love the review. I just wanted to ad that the name of the motorcycle boy was said once - russell
Very nice review. However, one major mistake. The fish were not Piranhas. They were Siamese fighting fish. Another small mistake you called Motorcycle boy Motorcycle man? I am a proud owner of a theater poster autographed by Mickey. It hangs in my dining room and I will never sell it at any cost. To me its priceless. Also you never mentioned Motorcycle boy cannot see colors. But he sees the color of the fish. I never understood what this represented. Perhaps he sees the fish in color because he understands Rusty so well that the fish come alive in color. An interesting tidbit here is that Tulsa was known for its gangs and violence in poor white areas. I believe part of Rumblefish is loosely based on fact. Anyway this film is in my top 10 all time. The ending reminds me of Quadrophenias ending. The scenery is stunning..along with stellar photography is The amazing soundtrack by the Police drummer Stewart Copeland and the beautifully eerie vocals of Stan Ridway of Wall of Voodoo on Don't box me in. If you like SE Hintons work, please indulge yourself in this amazing film. Coppolla could have done a huge production after The Godfather trilogy and Apocolypse now. But he took a step back to do a real edgy Indie type of film before it was cool to call films Indie. This film also launched the careers of so many actors. Some became huge stars, and others disappeared into obscurity. I give it Five, yes, five stars. A masterpiece.
interesting analysis bro, thanks for making it - my top 3 fav movies ever
Thanks man. Same honestly one of my favorites as well.
RUMBLE FISH ,S.E. HINTON.
Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Love,Love S.E. Hinton.
Cute Rusty James he's cool.
♥️💋 Rusty James .♥️
Motorcycle Boy Reigns
i think the fish need to be free. mc boy thinks if u can get out of the city and be free u won t do violence and that why he wants to free the fish.... this is the threat to the policeman
I agree. Honestly that part of the film I should’ve explained better. I kinda just brushed Over it in retrospect.
@@cinephile6914 I'm actually really glad you did the video. I especially like the color blind aspect of the film that you brought up. Which is why MCb does so well in the black neighborhood. He's color blind . He was called a prince in exile shooting pool with the brothers...
His love for Rusty is probably the thing that I really love the most in the film.
I've been thinking about talking about this movie on my channel a little bit too. In fact, I might make a video tomorrow...
It won't be as good as yours.. you did very well putting all the scenes into your video. I really enjoyed it....
When I saw rumble fish for the first time as a boy, I had a feeling of its power but my mind was too young... I knew that. I liked it though
Thanks I appreciate it. I’m sure your review will be great.
That cop was inferior to mc Rourke
@@Hoppinson mcboy is so full of love and respect for other humans and creatures.
ironic
his blindness lets him see the truth....
Fighting fish not piranha.....
NOT PIRANHAS. Did you look at the fish,there like Asian goldfish. At the end did you think he released piranhas in the water?Smoke some more crack buddy😃
I'm more of an outsiders guy myself not gonna lie
this is a much better deeper piece sodapop....

How does he go from a masterpiece like apocalypse now to a crappy looking student film like this with some bad overdubbed dialogue?
I think Rumble Fish is a better movie than Apocalypse Now. I know Francis Ford Coppola has said Rumble Fish is his best movie, and he has never said that about Apocalypse Now. Sofia Coppola has many, many times said Rumble Fish is the favorite of her father's movies; other film-makers have said the same. Most of my friends who work in cinema believe it is a better movie than Apocalypse Now. It is not as ambitious, hubristic or bombastic as Apocalypse Now, but is more integrated, creative, more innovative, more perfect. And it is more fun to watch I believe.
It is better, but I still like gf 2 the best
i liked the movie, but i feel like it could have been better. i had to skip so much ahead since it was so weird. i hated how they dubbed over it even though it was the same, and i couldn’t freaking stand the Motorcycle Boy’s voice. and i didn’t get how he floated up after getting beat up. like what?
so basically it’s ok, could be better, but it’s not worth 15$ to buy.
I read the book in school 🏫
