We will do everything to save him-if we can. Dangerous magical forces are chasing him, and they will destroy him to get his powers. When Taraana reappears, he asks for our help. Now, Paheli collects girls like us, and we use our magic to travel the world, helping to save other girls from our pain, our scars. With the stars, Paheli gained access to the Between, a place of pure magic and mystery. He tossed Paheli a box of stars before disappearing. When Paheli escaped, she ran headlong into Taraana-a boy with stars in his eyes, a boy as battered as she was. Our story begins with Paheli, who was once betrayed by her mother, sold to a man in exchange for a favor. We are girls who have tasted the worst this world can offer. We are the Wild Ones, and we will not be silenced.
Morris Finalist Nafiza Azad comes a thrilling, feminist fantasy about a group of teenage girls endowed with special powers who must band together to save the life of the boy whose magic saved them all. It's a pity the film descends needlessly into melodrama, losing much of it's credibility in the process.“Utterly unique storytelling…a tale that refuses to flinch.” - Chloe Gong, New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delightsįrom William C. Time hasn't been kind to the film, and it's hard to see why it was banned in the UK for 18 years (mainly down to the lack of any retribution for the gang), but there is still a tight story and strong characterisation. Johnny's reply when asked, "What are you rebelling against?" says it all."Whatta you got?", with a sneer for good measure. These boys look tame compared to today's standards (they even pay for their own beer!) but they don't fit in and so are immediately ostracised by a grown-up world that doesn't understand their jive-talking, anti-social behaviour. When Johnny and the boys ride into town all hell breaks loose, with a culture clash between themselves and the 'squares', resulting in tragedy and some reconciliation. The enduring iconic images from the film have weathered better than the film itself, however, but it still stands up as a paean to disaffected youth.
Brando is his archetypal mean and moody self, as the original rebel on a motorcycle terrorising smalltown America.
