I have no right to say the movie The Warriors is meaningful
to me. I have no right to say it ‘speaks’
to me. I shouldn’t say that I ‘get’
it. Or even that I find it inspiring.
I’m an lower middle class kid from a homogenous small
town. I didn’t need to be in a gang to
survive. I never got in a fight where weapons were needed. Yet the movie is a
favorite. A big favorite. In college, we adapted a line from the movie: When we see the ocean, we figure we’re home; we’re
safe…my fellow dorm mates and I changed that to: when I see the Stadium, I think I’m
home, I’m safe. That won’t mean anything
to anyone who didn’t live in the dorm that was in the football stadium.
James Remar has been in a lot of movie and shows I’ve seen. When
I see him I always think of Ajax. He signed
for me. In a giddy way, I mentioned I loved his ‘wimps’ line in the movie. So he added to the photo.

Now I'm curious...which school has a dorm inside its stadium?
ReplyDeleteDayanara - thanks for reading the post. The U of Arizona has 3 dorms built into the Stadium. I spend 5 years in the one on the East side. There were 2 more dorms on the south side.
