This film will always be one of the most controversial in the history of film. It is still hard for me to watch it and it is still a very brutal film to look at. You really do see how the juvenile justice system instead of rehabilitating kids eventually makes them even more hardened and eventually they will graduate to even more serious crimes. This film definitely drives that point home like no other in the history of television.
