#THE OUTSIDERS TV SHOW ARCHIVE#
The inserted scenes to make the ‘Complete Novel’ edition are, for the most part, as clean as the theatrical scenes, occasionally there is a slight drop in quality, most noticeable in the hospital scene, where the colours fade, the blacks become elevated and the resolution dips, but this is rare, for the most part all is well.Ī whole host of new and archive material are included on both the UHDs. White scale is terrific, with plenty of bright highlights, hair sheen, chrome, pinpoint stars in the night sky.ĭigitally there are no compression issues, and the original source is pristine, holding a firm and organic grain structure that gives the image a wonderful filmic look. Fire is nicely ‘hot’ as well.īlack level is good, in that it gives a tremendous frame depth, but there really aren’t any actual blacks, more a very dark grey, although I felt this gave the picture a projected quality and wasn't distracting. The WCG and HDR really give some pop to the colours, check out the vibrant neon signs of the town, the green grass and leaves, reds of clothing, the night light blues there is a richness and depth to all the primaries.

What is immediately apparent is how rich and vibrant this image is, it has been lovingly restored and looks gorgeous.ĭetail is amazing, close up skin texture, oiled hair, ripped and worn clothing, dusty church floors, wood grain, street signs, trees against the skyline, clouds, grimy fingernails everything is keen and sharp. A snapshot of American life in a small town, out west, where the area of your birth can determine your upbringing, and few manage to escape their destiny. It is very male dominated with plenty of emotions from the leads, in stark contrast to the hard men they are meant to be portraying, which gives the narrative some depth and gravitas. The piece never really falls into cliché, though it sometimes feels like it due to its common themes. Awesome to see Tom Cruse with his big nose and buck teeth! Coppola skilfully uses his lens to grasp the story with relish.įilled to the brim with (then) up and coming talent, most would go on to huge things, becoming the Hollywood ‘Brat Pack’, but here they are young, fresh faced and eager to show off. The film follows the book almost exactly beat for beat (at least The Complete Novel version does) managing to deliver its meaning, delve into the themes raised and expose the weaknesses and triumphs of the novel's structure, without the need to oversimplify or expand. Where it differs is the establishment of the connections of the two ‘greasers’ forced to go on the run both young, both from broken homes, and their coming to terms with the actions they take and the consequences thereof. The story of two rival gangs, embroiled in a war, with a connection between two youngsters on either side, has clear parallels with Shakespearean fiction. Hinton, written when she was just 16 and published in 1967. The story is based on the novel of the same name by S.E. No jazz before the rumble you know the rules ape-faceįrancis Ford Coppola, he of Apocalypse Now fame, if you believe the story, made tonight’s feature because school children wrote to him asking him to do so, and just 4 years after Apocalypse nearly killed him.
