THE OUTSIDERS- Stay Gold: Paying Homage to the 80's

 Talking movies that laminates the 80's would be 'The Outsiders' featuring great actors from Ralph Macchio, Rob Lowe, Matt Dillon, the late Patrick Swayze, C. Thomas Howell, Tom Cruise and Emilio Estevez. A movie directed by Francis Ford Coppola of an adaptation of S.E Hinton novel.

 From movies to fashion. 80's fashion fads were tight-rolled skinny jeans, fluorescents colors and side ponytails. Yet, somehow like fashion, all other fashion fads in different eras, the past haunts us evolving in this 21st century.

 But what is interesting, we are drawn somehow to its quintessential charms of the 80's. The awkward age of embarking to something revolutionary, at least, that is what seems to be portrayed in fashion and movies. 
The movie HOT-TUB time machine is right on the money. A scene with a guy going on about his phone to a friend while skiing, which at that time cellphones were of a rare contraption was comic treasure. Now we can even blog on our phones on top of a mountain, not that I am at this moment in time...on top of a mountain. Depending on phone reception obviously, which hopefully be a thing of the past.




Owning the 80's, either you hate it, love it or can't relate, it is there to stay. Be it movies, music or fashion. Signing of as a big fan of all the actors in the movie Outsiders, can't get enough of them. Hopefully, some of them that are not making movies currently, get due recognition of their contribution to the film industry.
