Released 3 decades ago, still fresh

Rating: 9/10 (22 April 2015)

The last review is from 2003. And I am writing one in 2015. So 12 years. I just felt like watching it because had nothing to. Last year, I watched Rocky and didn't love it, 6/10. So was wondering if I should bother watching an old movie again but gave it a try.
The story is of 5 teen students who end up getting a detention of 9 hours on a weekend. Each person has his/her own story. And they just mean that no person is free of problems and that they all make mistakes and move on. I think that every teen who thinks that his life sucks, watch it, you will know that it's been the same for decades if not for centuries.
Other than that, at one point, you feel like not completing at all but the last 30 minutes pay it off. At first, it just feels boring but you will learn to understand it.
If you are from the too much new generation, listening to rappers, smoking weed, and love teen movies like Twilight, and stuff like "Teen Wolf", you won't understand it totally.
The movie is about how, given time, the 5 students learn to respect each other's problems and to respect the perspective of the other students.
It's pretty weird though how I first wrote the review ASAP after completing the movie and gave it a 7. A few hours later, after reading some stuff, I came back and gave a thought to it and felt that it surely needed a 9 if not a 10 (like many have given it).
It may seem completely messed up at one point where the kids are doing stuff while being high but everything you watch in the movie, will have an impact on how you think.
