An accurate representation of a lost generation.
This is a perfect illustration of that time, the music(really sets the mood through the movie), the atmosphere, the friendship, the injustice, the language and the gangs. This movie is filmed with movement, atmosphere and colour. The show shows how although the gangs are dangerous, aggressive, violent and sometimes unnecessary they have history behind them. Kids back then were alone, parents didn't spend much time and kids were stuck with a lot of spare time so they made gangs with other people like them, eventually this was cemented in teenage lives and many people were scarred by these gangs. This show shows how you have to understand one's life before judging them, all the people in this show had reason for their actions, in reality the kids are nice and genuine but misunderstood by society causing an imbalance between them and adults. Another aspect of the movie is death, how it was a common occurrence back then in gangs. Each time someone passed away in this show it's conveyed in a very touching, vivid, real and impactful manner. In conclusion this show reveals the sad reality of back then and nowadays truth is something we can rarely find, that's why I respect and appreciate this show.
