Then that bit with the Dad "we've killed him! Let's go!!" I mean I'm not looking for realism here but good lord!
One of the friends who had already seen Saturday night fever said that this was more depressing than SNF. Dunno if I saw it as depressing. There were elements of it but not overly depressing.

Shit, sorry. I've never picked up on anything depressing in it. Poignant maybe, but not depressing. There's actually a
book out about The Ducky Boys, who were apparently a real gang. Ace Frehley from Kiss also talks about being a member in his
autobiography. And the book the film was based on, by Richard Price, is literally
my all-time favourite novel. But I love the film in its own right.
