How is this getting such low ratings?

Rating: 10/10 (12 August 2019)

This is one of the great cinema films that captures a time in history so few films are able to do.
The music is fantastic and still plays as relevant today as it did when it came out. Such raw story and great characters. Love, struggle, triumph, death and friendship, all encapsulated in this beautiful timeless gem. It's a blue collar film and does a damn great job showing the lives of such people, especially NYC at the time.
I never understood films being criticized fro showing truth, no matter how offensive it may be seeing it. Life isn't perfect, nor are people. There is a certain amount of phoniness when you water down reality so that you don't offend certain people. That is where many films are headed and it's a shame.
One of the movies everyone must see.
