Want Beer And Hunger Games ..

No matter how much we like to see the good guy triumph in the end and those who have actually committed crimes be penalized for them, we can never quite get away from that sneaking satisfaction that originates from bad men doing what they do and being good at it! Gangster movies have been a part of American cinema from the beginning and by taking a peek at the genre, we certainly could see why.

The two movies that are looked at the grandfathers of this movie genre are Little Caeser, starring Edward G. Robinson and Public Enemy, starring James Cagney. In both of these films, the gangsters get their comeuppance, but often, that's not what the audience remembers. In Little Caeser, you remember the scenes of Robinson's character Rico living it up in the lap of luxury and in Public Enemy, you fondly bear in mind Tom Powers, played by Cagney doing a happy little two step on a public street when a girl smiles at him.

Gangsters in Hollywood can be found in a number of different flavors and Al Pacino has actually played 2 extremely different archetypes. In the Godfather movies, he is the classy and doomed Michael Corleone, the war hero who got dragged reluctantly into the household business, while in Scarface, he plays the crazed killer Tony Montana, a Cuban who rose from immigrant to medicine kingpin. Both of these characters were (in really different ways) very charming and its easy to see just how we're drawn to them.

There are also numerous movies that pay homage to the traditional gangster movies, or satirize them, relying on your perspective. The prime time program, The Sopranos, includes a modern organized criminal activity association where the members are gently and in some cases not so quietly obsessed with Goodfellas and The Godfather and will certainly estimate them at any type of opportunity. Brick, a movie about love and death in high school, was highly influenced by the timeless Miller's Crossing in regards to tone and language.

The tale of the gangster can be seen as the American Dream that is played in fast-forward. It typically starts with a young boy searching for a way out of poverty and with some luck and some support, he makes it to the top. Perhaps that's the appeal of the gangster genre, and maybe that's why we're so willing to forgive the things they do to get there.

Do not seek a principles lesson when you watch gangster movies. You'll end up rooting for the incorrect man and when he inevitably gets just what's coming to him, you'll be annoyed and disappointed. Gangsters top the charts in charisma, however their life expectancy and chances for lasting joy are practically nil.
