Moral corruption is a notable and recurrent theme of gangster films. The protagonist usually has an initial innocence, or ignorance of the means and ways of the life of crime. He gets involved with this world out of necessity due to financial problems, or comes from a social or ethnic background, where crime is an easier and more profitable way of living than legitimate business. In the beginning of his involvement the hero is reluctant to use violence and hesitant to manipulate people, as evidenced in The Godfather and Goodfellas. But as his ties with the world of crime strengthen and he gets caught up in it, he becomes disillusioned with the usefulness of morality, and starts to see his own survival and domination as more important than morality in the conventional sense. The rise to power comes to be the most crucial goal, and moral principles are an obstacle to it. The more powerful the hero becomes, the more rapid is the decline of his ethics. This engrossment in power is demoralizing and causes the hero to dissociate from healthier aspects of life, such as his

Many of us are faced with tough times, hard decisions, and struggles but there are only certain people that have the willpower and determination to overcome those obstacles and change their life for the better. Many of us are faced by little challenges like when the alarm clock goes off for school. Do we get up and go to school or do we go back to bed? The immediate reward is going back to bed and getting the satisfaction of more sleep but the downfall is that you miss your classes. This didn’t seem like an important decision for me until I got to college. It’s way different than high school in the way that class is way more important and you are actually paying for your classes in college while throughout your whole life before if you went through the public school system, school was free. This little decision can determine what path your life is going to be on. With the Daniel Flanagan story we see that it’s an inspiring story and had the potential to be an effective essay, it lacked in important details. Having the necessary details throughout the essay could have created a bigger impact and made it easier for

As I was a child I always wanted to watch movies which a heoro defeats a villian. Growing up I want to see more movies about villians, gangters, because being happy and perfect is what we have been always taught and tried to achieve everyday. People know that there is a bad side in everyone, and no one wants to express it. Happiness and kindness become so common. Being happy is easy to understand, but it is more interesting to know what makes a person becomes bad. People want to know that they are not the only one who is sad. They want to know that they are not alone. Especially when happiness is so hard to maintain nowaday days. As Robert Warshow mentioned in “The Gangster as Tragic Hero” that “happiness, thus becomes the chief pilitical issue”.

The Oscar winning film, Good Will Hunting, released in 1997 follows the journey a 20 year genius boy, Will, who suffered abuse growing up. His life takes a turn when a college professor discovers how smart he is takes him under his wing compelling him to take therapy sessions which help him straiten himself up. Overlooking the flaws in Good Will Hunting, the film generally does a good job of not only highlighting the meaning of true friendship but also showing how the fear of failure can prevent individuals from stepping out of their comfort zones.

The film ‘Good Will Hunting’ directed by Gus Van Sant is a movie which follows the life of Will Hunting who is gifted with astonishing skills for maths but whom suffered with a fear of abandonment. He developed a defense mechanism which affected his ability to create long lasting relationships. An important extract from the movie is the scene ‘ It’s not your fault’. This scene conveyed the impact of childhood traumas, the effects of suppressed emotions and the idea of soulmates. These ideas were manifested through the use of various film techniques, such as camera shots and movements, music and dialogue.

The film, The Goodfellas portrayed a single man working his way into the mobster family. The troubled boy becomes a prestigious young man in his prime. The goal to be with the mafia is generally violent and commit illegal acts to obtain riches and power. The film depicted the rise to power as well as the failures involved. The conventions and attributes make the genre more distinctive towards organized crime and what one will do to obtain it. This film is gruesome and intriguing to the audience for the realism but also fantasy of committing crime without the punishments included.

The films Scarface (1983) and The Godfather (1972) are both crime-drama films which focus on the rise of their respective characters up the criminal ladder, becoming leaders on their own right and experiencing parallels on their stories while interacting with characters with duality in rules for both films. Scarface’s Tony Montana opted for drug trade and started his own empire on the back and blood of the people he killed, while Michael Corleone took matters to his own hands when he saw his family being besieged by the other families, psychologically exploring the minds of the characters while trying to deal with outside threats and stimulus.

The Magnificent Seven is a retelling of Seven Samurai. Fistful of Dollars is an unofficial retelling of Yojimbo. In both instances, the two westerns are strikingly similar to the Japanese movies they are based on. Despite all the similarities, there probably aren’t too many people who tried watching Yojimbo and ended up accidently watching Fistful of Dollars. That’s because, looking at basic story elements, Sergio Leone was not able to create a perfect copy of Akira Kurosawa’s movie. It is nearly impossible for one person to tell a story the exact same way someone else has. There are too many stylistic choices, too many embellishments, too many little details, and too many pieces of personal flairs that change, and make, a story. Over a decade before a lawsuit existed between Kurosawa and Leone, Kurosawa’s Rashomon showed how stories change from person to person, or
