Matt Dillon, Nicolas Cage, and Diane Lynn's 18- and 19-year-old youth were frozen in the movie. A handsome face and youthful vitality. Mickey Rourke was no more than twenty-eight or nineteen, languidly, whispering in disdain.
What a young time!
Coppola's lens language is too beautiful, concise and smooth, black and white images, the only color is the color of the betta fish, almost transparent: unpredictable clouds, walking shadows, walking from the wall to the ground, it is amazing.
Brother, like an invincible warrior, he longs for a heroic past. And the elder brother, hearing impaired, color blind, in his mouth, the people fighting are also timid and nervous, people think that nervousness is courage.
The unbridled youth dissolves in the fragmented reality, which is a confused generation.
The elder brother said to his younger brother: I also want to be the elder brother in your mind, but I can't do whatever I want, just like you.
"I want you to get on my scooter, I want you to get out of here. I want you to go to the sea, along the river, to the sea, okay?" There are
two color shots in the film: one is the color of a betta; Once was the younger brother's own face reflected on the glass of the car. These are ideal colors, reflecting the bleak reality.
"Greece" appears in the film for further discussion. is a metaphor.
Longing for freedom, bettas will not kill each other in the sea because there is enough space. The elder brother died, the younger brother arrived at the sea, and the curtain ended in front of the vast sea.

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.
