Just to start things off...

[cowboy rules]

Just to start things off in the new board I would just like to know everyones general opinion on the book and why your opinion is what it is. I liked the book personally, I found it a litle odd and 'un-warriors like' but thats probably because I saw the movie first.

It was ok... i hated how in the book, the gang was full of worthless punks. I mean killing a man for no good reason than raping a girl, thats lame, real crippled.

But they are true juvenile delinquents, the worst kind, and this is what they do.  Of course the Warriors in the movie are more polished and more likeable as characters because it is a movie.  If the audience didn't like the gang the movie would fail, but it seems different in books because you are examining the flaws in a character and there is way more explaination for actions and thoughts, and these kinds of actions make for more interesting reading.  If the movie was made like the book it would be concidered a more serious film making harsh statements about society, more intellectual, and not as pop culture driven as the movie that was actually made.

The Film the Warriors are also sposed to be portrayed as Juvenile delinquents too arnt they.
I thought that main character in the book forgot his name the kid who was left on his own in the subway in the dark was a likeable character, he was just being more mature then the rest of the gang.

Yes the Warriors in the film are suppose to be juvenile delinquents, but if they actually murdered a guy for no reason and actually raped a woman in the film I don't think that the audience would be wanting them to make it home.  The characters are given peronality quirks that make them likeable characters; Vermin's humour, Cochise's great lines, Ajax's toughness, all those things made them great characters.  In the book the gang doesn't have any great personalities to make them likeable so you have to judge them through their actions and thoughts.  I kept wondering why they were being so cautious because no one was really chasing them and they weren't really in danger, all the trouble they thought they were in was in their minds and as a result all the trouble they got in was trough their own.  They could have just walked home with no problems if they weren't so paranoid.

One word. Karma. That is totally true. I couldnt have put it better myself. I was wondering why they were so paranoid too. I mean no one even said they shot Ismael, and he wasnt even dead either so there wasnt THAT much reason for going after someone. And if people got away they wer just treating it like an ordinary night. Fair enough if they were deep in unknown turf, but even then they could talk there way out of it and some teams maybe even thought the truce was still on.

[Jake_100]

They have lots to worry about, you think if every other gang in the city is just like them you would be scared and want to get back home quick. And in the film warriors they where going to rape Mercy when they caught her following them as they said "we should pull and train on her".

[CAZ]

its not " we should pull a train on her" it's " maybe we oughta pull a train on you, you look like you might even like it"

sorry, but please quote it right



hehehe, only time i ever saw swan smile after the meeting

just go to your local book store and ask if they have it, probalby under "Adult Fiction".
If they don't have it they can probalby order it in. Its like 17.95 CDN i think.

[CleonWarlord]

I like reading the Warcraft books.

[Coney Islander want to be]
