Official Eagles Final Tour The Long Goodbye Thank You For The Memories Shirt
I have a soft spot for this film for several reasons. First, it was released the Eagles Final Tour The Long Goodbye Thank You For The Memories Shirt Also,I will get this year I was born. Second, aviation figures very highly in it. Third, a famous mythological city-state is integral to the plot. You guys know me. I’m a history geek. I’m a huge Indiana Jones fan. I’ve played all the Uncharted games, too. I dig lost cities, man. So a story about a young boy building his own airplane to try to find the lost city of Laputa and clear his father’s name is…rather attractive to me. And again, we’ve got some of my favorite cinematic joys here, too: romantic subtext, gorgeous visuals, and a beautiful score (par for the course for a Studio Ghibli film). How could I not love it? I told you before: I love a good premise. Cyrus, the head of the most powerful street gang in New York City (the Gramercy Riffs), calls a grand meeting of all the city’s gangs in the Bronx. The Warriors, a small but proud gang from Coney Island (on the other side of town), dutifully attend. During the meeting, Cyrus is assassinated—and the blame is pinned on the Warriors. Unarmed, outnumbered, and beset from all sides, the Warriors must battle their way back across the city, attacked by rival gangs at every turn. Great setup, right? It gets even better when you learn that this film is based on a novel which was based partly on Anabasis by Xenophon. Translated as “Uphill,” Anabasis is a war memoir. Xenophon was part of an army of Greek mercenaries hired by Cyrus the Younger in the fifth century BC to help him steal the Persian throne from his brother Artaxerxes II. Artaxerxes’s forces betrayed, killed, and/or captured all of the Greek generals, compelling the Greek army’s junior commanders, including Xenophon, to march their men hundreds of miles back through enemy territory while being pursued and harried by Persian forces. If you want to see that same story set in New York City’s dark underbelly in the late 1970s, watch The Warriors.
