A Bronx Tale

I’m sitting here at apartment 35 right now after a rough weekend to say the least. The pats blew it to no other than Eli Manning, enough said. After an emotional night the apartment, I am sitting in my apartment right now which is trashed, literally. There is trach juice on the floor behind me which my roommate left on the floor for it to leak everywhere.  Instant news from my roommate, Maffee just said he pissed the other night, worst part is that he pissed on our living room floor, it was it was absorbed by his Irish flag, typical. Right now I am getting ready to watch a movie called A Bronx Tale that my boy Joe let me borrow and said it was a sick movie.        

The movie was not good, it as great. It’s a tale about a kid named Calogero, he  is an Italian boy who lives in the Bronx. His parents are straight Italians, his dad(Robert Deneiro) is a hard working bus driver just trying to get by for his family. Calogero’s life takes a turn when he witnesses the neighborhood mob boss named Sonny, murder someone on the street right in front of his stoop. The police come and make Calogero identify the shooter from a lineup. When he is asked if Sonny is the shooter, he says no. From that point on Sunny begins to see Calogero, who becomes like a father figure to Calogero. Throughout the movie Calogero is constantly influenced by Sonny. There are great action fight scenes, and a realistic feeling to what life was really like back in the 50’s and 60’s in the Bronx. The movie cover topics from racism, to the harsh reality of crime and the struggles people faced. Calogero is constantly rebelling against his father who is very against the mob and hustle, but Calogero sees it as the life of luxury, money and power which he dreams of.  The end of the movie is something I do not want to spoil cause this is a great movie, and I just don’t feel like I could do that to my readers. I will rate this movie 4.75 stars, until next week, see ya later.
