that be then and this be now . an awesome book and but terrible movie . i mean you take a novel like that be then and this be now which be so good and make it a terrible . hollywood truly do not understand the point of the book . why . because they change the freakin end . the sad end of that be then and this be now be why the book be so popular and yet they replace it with a happy end . and dear god and craig sheffer be plain horrible a bryon . he doesn not even try to do good . he just play the character and act all bored and stuff . frank howard a m and m and okay he have the look and but also doesn not even try . jill shoelen hardly make angela shepard look like the bad girl . honestly and the only good acting be emilio estevez a mark jennings and kim delaney a cathy carlson and barbra barbock a mrs. carlson . morgan freeman have a good act for charlie wood and but in the scene when charlie come out with his shotgun and honestly your suppose to be in the scared moment and but the way he walk in with the shotgun make you laugh . now for the end represent book end representm and m take lsd and his head get mess up . bryon find out mark have be sell drug and think he give m and m the lsd . when mark come home and bryon tell him he call the cop . mark just stand there and say and why be you do this to me buddy . the police take mark away . bryon hurt cathy which cause their break up . the doctor say m and m will never be the same . when bryon visit mark in jail and mark tell him the only reason he want to see him be to make sure he hat him and that when he get out of jail he will never go home . the terrible happy end representm and m take drug but it be unknown what he take and his condition be unknown . bryon and cathy break up because bryon call m and m a fking retard . instead of bryon call the cop on mark and he tell him to leave and never come home . mark take the car and get arrest for a speed chase . bryon and cathy get back together . when bryon visit mark and instead of mark say i hate you and he say and i will be fine . everything well be alright . after bryon leaf and he hot wire a car and drive it around and tell the owner and chill dude just like mark . the more problem with this film be how ponyboy curtis and mike chamber { yes mike } be cut from the film . mike should have never be cut from the film . mike tell a story that prove revenge be pointless and it be cut . ponyboy may have not be important and but at least his role would have make the movie well . in conclusion and that be then and this be now be a terrible film adaption . we demand a remake .
