Definitely not inferior to the "Godfather" movie

For an audience in their early 20s, The Godfather discusses something that seems too far away. We can't understand it, but we like it very much.

"Betta" is different. It has the same production level as "The Godfather", but it discusses the values ​​of young people. Do we have enough living space? Should I always pursue freedom? We might as well ask ourselves the questions discussed in the film. I believe this is also a question that people in their 20s (especially boys) often think about. Compared with "The Godfather", he is closer to our lives, and the issues discussed are more general.

The entire movie was deliberately shot in black and white, only the fighting fish in the movie has color. Just to highlight the theme to be represented.

The last long shot also has a profound meaning. It portrays various attitudes towards the death of a liberal. Then the camera is back to the younger brother riding a motorcycle at the seaside, symbolizing that liberalism will never die.

This movie is a bible, a bible for young people and a bible for liberals.

Truly a buried movie.

Rumble Fish quotes

  • Smokey: You know, if there were gangs around like in the old days, I'd be running things, not you. You'd be second lieutenant. You might have gotten by for a while on the Motorcycle Boy's rep, but you have to be smart to run things. You ain't got your brother's brains. It's nothing personal, Rusty James, but nobody would follow you into a fight because you'd get people killed - and nobody wants to be killed.

  • Father: No, your mother... is not crazy. And neither, contrary to popular belief, is your brother crazy. He's merely miscast in a play. He was born in the wrong era, on the wrong side of the river... With the ability to be able to do anything that he wants to do and... findin' nothin' that he wants to do. I mean nothing.
