MYST POST #1Q-2: A BRONX TALE

A Bronx Tale is one of the greatest gangster films that I have seen. I love how the director chose actors like Robert De Niro to star in this film. Every actor shown in this movie really does a great job acting like a gangster. The camera shots and angles were magnificent. Each one was differently connected to other parts of the film. The camera followed the main characters in the scenes and did a great job establishing the mood of each scene. One scene that I thought the camera men did well in was the bar fight scene. Every angle and shot had to be set up and done perfectly in order to show exactly what was happening. The camera angles moved around to show what each character was doing in the scene. I liked how that scene sent a message. Even if you're someone who isn't really into the gangster genre or someone who doesn't like violence you would love this movie. A Bronx Tale really showed how life was in Bronx, New York back when the Mafia existed. This movie shows a lot of heart, courage, and choices made. I have always liked gangster films because they send a message. This movie really made an impact on me and not many movies do. I like to think about a movie non stop after I watch it and that's how it was when I saw A Bronx Tale for the first time. Anyone would like this movie because its not just abut the Mafia and how a boy gets involved with them.This movie shows how important family is. Robert De Niro did a great job being the good guy in this film. He stars in a lot of other gangster films and he usually stars as the bad guy. I give this movie 4.5 stars out of 5. Go out and watch this film. It will leave you speechless.
