Happy Birthday, Francis Ford Coppola.
“Even as we look at a sunset, we are aware that it is already starting to die. Youth is like that too; at its very moment of perfection, you can already see the forces that are undoing it,” he comments. “The Outsiders takes place just then—in an enchanted moment of time in the lives of all those boys.”—Francis Ford Coppola, 1982.
