To be fair, the young people of today wouldn't understand this movie considering everything is given to them on a platter with no restrictions. This movie was about a teen who was meant to live in a certain way that was seen as the norm but wanted to be different, free. Being spoiled and having everything available today, they will not understand the chains that we experienced growing up, not the feeling of wanting to break out. This is essentially what the 80's was about, breaking out from the norm, the music of the 80's reflected this. I watched 5 min of the remake, i forgot about it until i started writing this, it was that bad.
