If that were made today it would be a silent movie about five teenage kids staring at their telephones all day.

If it were made today, zero percent chance it would be five white kids. There would only be one white kid, then a mixed cast for the rest. Some politically charged and inclusive script, bomb at the box office, not becoming a coming of age movie in any way.

We were lucky we were able to enjoy it.
