A comment on our society...

[Big Dada]

I have watched this movie with my son many times and we still enjoy it...

He sees things in it that I don't see and vica versa...

I see the movie as a comment on our society both negative and positive.

The negative is that the many can be lead to do the wrong thing by those who chose to want only those things that are greedy and selfish. Something that is still strue today as it was when the movie was first made.

The positive is that if you remain true to yourself and those things that you believe in then maybe, just maybe, you can win. And even if you don't you still have the dignity and self esteem that no-one can take away.

What does everyone else think???

I think the movie is about kicking some ass and finding yourself along the way. Can you dig it newblood?

Calling someone a new blood should be a bannable offense!

Not at all my man, actually the first rank you achieve on this forum is 'new blood.' Just a term to describe someone new here. Take it easy on the hostility brother.

Irony! My response was based on my misperception of your hostility!

…all works out in the end, eh?

but of course... sometimes "kicking ass" is what you need to be able to do to survive... but finding yourself is the most important thing..

A lot of the veterans here (and by veterans I mean the people here in the beginning) used to laugh when someone with 300 or so posts would call someone else a new blood. It was kind of a "pot and kettle" thing, to them.

all in all, it's all about survival, strength and loyalty to those around you who do the same for you.

Agreed. The gang even turned back for Ajax, even after defying the warcheif himself.

[flew to high]

I agree that loyalty is probly the biggest lesson learned but also I think that in Swan's case he had to come in to his own after Cleon was gone, taking on the responsibility of getting everyone back home and possibly almost an older brother like quality to some of the younger members (example when Swan was talking to Rembrant before the meeting).

i think this what kept the gang together, i believe their friendship went beyond that.  they saw each other like brothers, you can see were they see rembrandt as their little brother.

Does anyone think that if Cleon was still around after the conclave, he would have left ajax behind? Or turned back for him and fight the cops to free him?

Good question, I personally think Cleon would have done the same as Swan, Cleon told Ajax at the begining " you just soldier and keep your mouth shut" basicly Cleon knew Ajax was a liability and I don't think Cleon would have hesitated to leave him behind.

not to mention that instead of one arrested Warrior, you'd have have several dead Warriors...
