i just can not believe the low score for this movie . probable reason have to do with the low number of vote mean few people have see it . this be simply a fantastic movie . there be so many story inter win within but it not complicate . each character grow with the movie and we experience with them undergo life change . the scenery be simply amazing and the end credit be the best ever in any movie i have see ( just like a shakespeare play ) . yes and it a little dated ( film in 1982 ) but the issue the character face be very current . it could have be film in 2002 without modification to the story line . raul julia be amazing and best role ever in a movie this be his signature piece . a young molly ringwald be excellent a she mature from girl to young woman . susan sarandon be perfect a a young carefree woman and john cassavetes be the force that put this all together . do yourself a favor and find this movie and view it and enjoy it . come back to imdb and score this movie into the top 250 of all time where it really belong .
