NOW THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT!!Green_Shirt_Guy wrote: I'm putting myself in the line of fire guys. Hope I don't screw this up
Everyone of us has that primitive need for survival inside. People can go to great lengths while trying to preserve their existence and of those who are close to them. It's a basic instinct we inherited from our ancestors and something that demonstrates our strong bonds with the place we came from. We can think of ourselves as masters of the Earth but in a way or another we are all trying to get through all our osbtacles and problems.
For me, that's what The Warriors is all about. It takes the very core of the human individual and puts it into action in such a rivetting story that we just have to watch it over and over again. We have gangs, turfs, colours, friend and foe, fights and the desperate need to survive. The most basic aspects of human behaviour are there, along the way back to Coney.
I remeber watching this movie for the first time. I tought 'why haven't I watched it before?' I was absolutly mesmerized by this epic one-night quest to return home. Return to something that wasn't that good. But it was home. And that's why they fought, flexed muscle and were so damn proud of being the Warriors. This was their place and nobody would take them down here.
We can be students, teachers, bartenders, house-wifes or anything else you can imagine. Everyone can relate to the feelings the movie talks about family, death, pride, respect, victory. We can be concrete-dwelling beings numbed by advertising and political manipulation but we still have something of what made us great. These basic, inner principles that define us as human beings are still here. They can be buried deep in our souls but once in a while something appears that makes all of that come to the surface. The Warriors is certainly one of those things.
Are you wondering how an action-flick could mean so much? Look around. Look at the enthusiasm of the people who participate in this forum. They know it. This family/group/gang are true Warriors in their hearts. Because they know what being a Warrior is all about. Maybe one day I'll deserve to be a part of it. I'm still a newbie with a long way to go.
I came to this forum because it was a place were I could be in contact with true fans of the phenomenom that is The Warriors. I try to post and discuss. I'm definitely not the best poster around but I do my part. Do yours too and help this forum be something we're all proud of being a part of.
Cheers
