Rumble Fish

“Yes, Rumble Fish. Okay, an oldie but goodie for me. And the sound, again, the sound was amazing. The main character, Motorcycle Boy, he if I remember correctly couldn't hear well so the sound is very much like it would be, the sound is somehow muffled. It's artificial but it's subjective and I found that really interesting. That connection between image and sound is essential in cinema.”

“This is phenomenal greatest juvenile Performance of all time Matt Dillon Rumble Fish people like go nuts about DiCaprio and other greats I don't know salting them Matt Dillon and Rumble Fish Wow like can you tell me the greatest lyric and the song don't box me in from Rumble Fish know this blackboard lacks a piece of chalk ba don't box me in I love it...”

“I saw Rumble Fish when I was a kid and I only had a black and white TV so the certain scenes of it were completely lost on me. And I remember going to school the next day and going, 'Yeah, Rumble Fish was brilliant.' And they go, 'Yeah, that bit with the goldfish, the rumblefish was amazing.' I'm like, 'No, I don't know. Was it?' Yeah. So now finally I'll be able to see it with that tiny bit of color in it. So that's exciting.”

“I have a special affection for Rumble Fish because I thought of it as the antidote to the saccharine sweetness of The Outsiders. And my goal was to make Rumble Fish as an art film for kids... It turns out that Rumble Fish... Had a destiny that I didn’t even know about. A lot of young people from Latin America... Went to this one theater to see this weird movie called Rumble Fish... It inspired a whole generation to become filmmakers and novelists.”

“This is not only is this one of my favorite films. I saw this when I was about 13 or 14 and I've heard Francis Ford Coppola talk about this film like his intention was to make an art film for teenagers and I was right at the right age for it when it came out and it just really affected me on all levels including the music. The soundtrack is some of my favorite music of all time. Soundtrack album by Stewart Copeland.”
