This volume traces the unique trajectory of The Outsiders, from
beloved book to beloved movie. Based on S.E. Hinton's landmark
novel, Coppola's film adaptation tells the story of the Greasers, a
gang of working-class boys yearning for security, love, and
acceptance in a world ruled by their rival gang, the rich Socs. The
Outsiders: Adolescent Tenderness and Staying Gold explores the
cultural impact of Hinton's book, the process by which Coppola made
the film, the film's melodramatic components, the marketing of the
movie to a young female audience, and the nostalgia industry that
has emerged around it in recent decades, thereby illuminating how
The Outsiders stands apart from other teen films of the 1980s. In
its depiction of the emotional rather than sexual lives of young
men on film and its recognition of the desires of teen girls as an
audience, The Outsiders distinguishes itself from the standard teen
fare of the era. With seriousness and sincerity, Coppola's film
captures the essence of the oft-repeated, timeless message of the
story: 'Stay gold.' This volume engages with a wide range of
disciplinary approaches-film studies, gender studies, and literary
and cultural studies-in order to distinguish The Outsiders as the
significant contribution to youth culture that it was in the early
1980s and continues to be in the twenty-first century. The book
fills a gap in existing scholarship on youth culture, and is ideal
for scholars, students and teachers in youth cultures, Young Adult
literature, film studies, cultural studies, and gender studies.
