I was a teen in the early 70's and the gang thing was happening all over the place...Here in Philly was no different only it was not one tenth of what NYC and the Bronx was...I used to go to NYC for Chilton printing Back in the day...All over the place...Taking the F train, the subways hot and reeking of urine, the subway cars horrible wrecks... I got lost off the BQE once driving...I can laugh now but...Under that highway, in those days, was like a world seldom seen by middle class...Unimaginable figures of people milling about haunted looks in their eyes...
Mad respect to the men and women that survived those times...I have met many from the Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn...I never met one who wasn't well grounded...They have a quiet and reserved strength and confidence. You feel they are good people and you have NO DOUBT that you better be on your toes and respect them...They in turn are the funniest and best people...They are real...Not a fake bone in their bodies...
This movie shows the old school for what it was and thankfully what it has become.
