This film is a fantasy; real kids don't behave like this. We had our own gangs and minded our own business on our own streets. If you got caught outside of your street, then you were pretty much on your own. Movies about turf wars seem very real, until you get old enough to be in the military, and realize that turf wars are a waste of time; just like wars are a waste of time. There are only very few instances where wars are justified; and the family should always come first. Your friends will change after several years, but your family will always be there for you. Sometimes, you get lucky and make lifelong friends; usually just only one or two, but not whole gangs like portrayed in this film. No, life is much more mundane than it is portrayed in this or any other movie. It makes for good viewing and is overly dramatic, but ultimately, it is not very realistic. Families are what is realistic. They come before wars, before countries, and before friends.
