rumble fish rebbels in a gorgeous black and white aestethic.
allot of the film looks beautifull especially that one scene where rusty flies over most sidecharacter when he gets knocked out.
rusty himself is a conflicting character as we don't entirely know his deal, he's cool but more so a wannabe cool allong with his friends.
the fight scenes are filmed very messy and shaky but with intension imo, it feels like meaningless violence our character engage with to make them feel better about themselves and make them forget about they're problems.
rumble fish maybe won't make sense to some but honestly its kinda the perfect chaotically violent letter to young teens on wich path they shouldn't take in life.
everyone was great, especially nicolas cage and matt dillon.
