Gross, Linda (February 14, 1979). "Gangs Vs. Gangs in The Warriors". Los Angeles Times. Part IV, p. 8. Linda Gross of the Los Angeles Times called the film "an insightful, stylized and shallow portrayal of gang warfare that panders to angry youthful audiences." [26] Gary Arnold of The Washington Post wrote, "None of Hill's dynamism will save The Warriors from impressing most neutral observers as a ghastly folly." [27] In his review for Newsweek, David Ansen wrote, "Another problem arises when the gang members open their mouths: their banal dialogue is jarringly at odds with Hill's hyperbolic visual scheme." [28]

The Junior took out his comic book and started to read...It was about ancient soldiers, Greeks, heroes who had to fight their way home through many obstacles, but they made it in the end." pg. 106 Hill was drawn to the "extreme narrative simplicity and stripped down quality of the script". [11] The script, as written, was a realistic take on street gangs but Hill was a huge fan of comic books and wanted to divide the film into chapters and then have each chapter "come to life starting with a splash panel". [11] However, Hill was working on a low budget and a tight post-production schedule because of a fixed release date as the studio wanted to release The Warriors before a rival gang picture called The Wanderers. Hill was finally able to include this type of scene transition in the Ultimate Director's Cut released for home video in 2005. [11] Casting [ edit ] The film's ending promises the potentiality of happiness but the novel's ending shows the coming of age for the now broken Dominators.Battles of the Clans (Field Guide) (Read here or after Night Whispers if you'd rather. There are no spoilers if you read it here, but the "kittypets" being shown around the lake would have more realistically happened sometime during Night Whispers. However, as this is just a Field guide, I don't consider the kittypets cannon. It's just a plot device used to show us, the readers, information. This is obvious because the Clans would never act like this in "real life" towards strange cats. All the actual battles mentioned have already happened in Fading Echos or earlier.) The series often revolves around forbidden love. These relationships are not allowed for various reasons stated in the warrior code. Holmes said that another central theme of the series is "faith and spirituality" regarding StarClan. [74] All books in the series feature the influence of StarClan, not just as the cats think of them, but in terms of prophecies delivered by StarClan which inevitably come true. Some scenes take place within StarClan's realm, with no living cats present. Thus, the existence of an afterlife and the influence of spirits who have passed on and yet retain their earthly identities is integral to all of the plot arcs in the series. Another idea explored in the novels is the reactions of different faiths when meeting each other. For example, the Tribe of Rushing Water, which believes in different spiritual ancestors than the Clans, is introduced in Moonrise. In an author chat, Holmes explained that the books never say that either the Clans or the Tribe of Rushing Water is right about faith because both are "equally valid". This leads to fear and suspicion between them because they are afraid of things they do not understand. Holmes remarked that "ignorance is a very scary thing!" [75] Non-belief is also explored in the storylines through characters who do not believe in StarClan. [76] Training to become a warrior of Thunderclan, Rusty now named Firepaw, must faced the dangers that lurk in his path to becoming a warrior. Once such danger is Tigerclaw, the fierce and ambitious mentor of Ravenpaw, his timid friend. With Redtail, the deputy dead, Tigerclaw claims that he saw Oakheart, the Riverclan deputy, kill him. Firepaw then proceeds to ask Ravenpaw, as he was the only cat that was there to witness the murder. Firepaw wants answers, but he know he cannot get them in Thunderclan camp, knowing that Tigerclaw will attempt to kill Ravenpaw to keep him silent. Graypaw, Firepaw's new best friend, accompanies him while escorting Ravenpaw to an abandoned barn on the moors. YRCA Past Winners". Pacific Northwest Library Association.
