We proceed with the gangster genre , A genre that takes many elements borrowed from above (or rather the reverse, because the first was the gangster ), and that more than once dignified, to raise to the altars, the figure of the gangster . Because, why deny it, this scene always look good on the big screen, we get a nice drop these guys (who has not ever dreamed of being Tony Montana and fix things your way?).
His peculiar way of proceeding very ─ Fordist regarding the family and hawksiana to the end if we talk friendship (With the "nuance" that betrayal is unforgivable) ─ and that particular "ethical code" that make a show, they usually fall in love. And in the movies, gangsters are good, it costs us to identify with them, empathize with his characters.
If the black film were often ordinary people who at one point became involved in shady business, the gangster we always talk about "professional" crime the coming into operation: persecuted and persecutors; mafia "good" and some bad gangster Another policeman, corrupt or not in between. If the bulk of the noir stories were characterized as extremely romantic, the gangster , sometimes, not even the figure of the woman, or you see is almost incidental. The type of violence in both genders also frequently change: much more explicit and wild in the mafia movie . These are, in my opinion, some of the most notable differences between the genders.
And now, without further ado, on to what really matters in this post. Here's my top ten particular, ordered again by strict release date. This Once I got a list a little more modern (and that gender would emerge following the great success of Coppola ...). Some directors make double, while others, enshrined, nor appear. Comment simply that I abide only by my personal tastes, here they come just made me secrete more dopamine, and "simple." After taking a while (quite a while, because it left out many stories that I feel a special affection), this is what I got:
- Scarface (Howard Hawks , 1932)
- The Roaring twenty ( Raoul Walsh, 1939)
- Mercury Rising ( Raoul Walsh, 1949)
- The Godfather (Francis Ford Coppola , 1972)
- Scarface (Brian De Palma , 1983)
- Once Upon a Time in America ( Sergio Leone, 1984)
- Goodfellas (Martin Scorsese , 1990)
- Miller's Crossing (Joel Coen , 1990)
- Carlito's Way (Brian De Palma , 1993) LA Confidential
- ( Curtis Hanson, 1997)
