jack shadoian , in dreams and dead ends , uses the second approach in order to examine the gangster genre . basically , he argues that the gangster / crime genre reflects u . s . society and changes as that society changes . in the early thirties , he says , gangster films such as little caesar and scarface owed their popularity to the
public ' s fascination with actual criminals and their exciting , if alarming , exploits .
( p . 15 ) shadoian emphasizes the early gangster films ' documentary aspects and says the films owed their hold on the audience to
… by definition , the genre must shed light on either the society or the outcasts who oppose it , and by definition the gangster is outside , or anti , the legitimate social order . the gangster / crime film is therefore a way of gaining a perspective on society by creating worlds and figures that are outside it …
a gangster is torn between love and loyalty and he must review his choice to whom he has to choose .
framing the film as a gangster rehash misses the point . nor is it , as many have suggested , a mere game of cat - and - mouse between
honest cop
and
ruthless villain
. those summaries are understandable , though , since the film tends to look and sound and feel like a typical gangster flick , starting with the first scene in which frank douses a hapless man with gasoline , sets him ablaze , and repeatedly shoots the burning victim . it doesn ' t get much more gangster than that . american gangster ' s problem stems from its execution : its gangster lean obscures its more sophisticated character motivations and themes .
three great classic gangster films ( among the first of the talkies ) marked the genre ' s popular acceptance and started the wave of gangster films in the 1930s in the sound era . the lead role in each film ( a gangster / criminal or bootleg racketeer of the prohibition era ) was glorified as he rose to the top with infamy and power , but each one ultimately met his doom in the final violent scenes of these films , due to censors ' demands that they receive moral retribution for their crimes .

( pp . 15 - 16 )
one of the first films to officially mark the start of the gangster / crime genre was d . w . griffith ' s the musketeers of pig alley ( 1912 ) about organized crime . it wasn ' t the first gangster movie ever made , but it was the first significant gangster film that has survived . outdoor scenes were shot in the gangland territory of nyc ' s lower east side with its slum tenements , and cast members included possible gang members . the story was about a poor , virtuous , and vulnerable little lady ( lillian gish ) who was threatened , victimized and terrorized by snapper kid ( elmer booth ) - the gangster leader of a gang known as the musketeers .
many of the sensationalist plots of the early gangster films were taken from the day ' s newspaper headlines , encouraging the public appetite for crime films . the allied rackets of bootlegging , gambling and prostitution brought these mobsters to folk hero status , and audiences during that time vicariously participated in the gangster ' s rise to power and wealth - on the big screen . they vicariously experienced the gangster ' s satisfaction with flaunting the system and feeling the thrill of violence . movies flaunted the archetypal exploits of swaggering , cruel , wily , tough , and law - defying bootleggers and urban gangsters .

the upcoming 1920s decade was a perfect era for the blossoming of the crime genre . it was the period of prohibition , grimy and overpopulated cities with the lawless spread of speakeasies , corruption , and moonshiners , and the flourishing rise of organized gangster crime .
other factors contributed to the popularity of the gangster genre during the early years of the depression . the continuation of prohibition ( it would be abolished in 1933 ) caused the gangster , in his bootlegger incarnation , to take on a robin hood persona in the minds of liberal - minded filmgoers . if one were patronizing a bootlegger , it was difficult to view him as a hardened criminal or danger to society .
these represent distinct shifts and real concerns , but the genre’s major theme in the fifties is its unrelenting view of the world as a hideous machine in violation of human realities . if noir scrambled the terms of the opposition , the fifties inverts them . the gangster represents the society ; society is the gangster . for human values to survive , it ( he ) must be opposed . civilization has caused a greater chaos than it cured

the gangster film was generated by the historical appearance of the gangster , but it rapidly became a metaphor … what is more important is that its structure , which manifests distinctions between insider and outsider ( however each is defined ) , survived and is still highly serviceable . this structure makes it possible to handle virtually anything the culture is concerned or distressed about …

the gangster film , towards the end , is shot in low key light as opposed to the law enforcement agent , who is shot in an openly lit area ( example : the end of rico in little caesar . )
the coming of the hays production code in the early 1930s spelled the end to glorifying the criminal , and approval of the ruthless methods and accompanying violence of the gangster lifestyle . the censorship codes of the day in the 1930s , notably the hays office , forced studios ( particularly after 1934 ) to make moral pronouncements , present criminals as psychopaths , end the depiction of the gangster as a folk or ' tragic hero , ' de - glorify crime , and emphasize that crime didn ' t pay . it also demanded minimal details shown during brutal crimes .
in addition to overseeing a wonderfully solid , if not classic , crime film in american gangster , director ridley scott ( gladiator , thelma & louise ) and writer steven zaillian ( all the king ' s men , gangs of new york ) have given us quite a conversation piece . while gangster flick aficionados generally view american gangster as a meritorious effort , from the topnotch cast to the painstaking attention to detail , almost everyone believes it misses the mark of true greatness . something is missing , but what ?
in the daylight the gangster would be shot wearing light colored clothing symbolically camouflaging the criminal from the law enforcement agents . in the nighttime , the criminal would be captured wearing dark clothing which also aided in his camouflage but made him stand out more like a bad guy .
william wyler ' s gangster melodrama dead end ( 1937 ) portrayed the efforts of new york slum dweller ( sylvia sidney ) to keep her gang member brother tommy ( billy halop , one of the dead end kids ) from emulating gangster humphrey bogart . the adolescent gang actors ( veterans of the broadway version of dead end ) were introduced in this film and later evolved into the east side kids and the bowery boys .
early gangster films of the 30’s were very linear in story - telling . for this reason , the use of classical continuity editing would fit the film very well . classical continuity editing basically took long duration shots and cut them into a logical progression of shorter shots . this not only diminished the number of shots in the film but also introduced a secondary editing technique known as quick pacing . the shorter shots lent to a faster viewing experience which is exactly how the narrative of the gangster film presented itself . however , towards the end of the film , the audience needs some time to reconcile the reality of the demise of the gangster that they grew to respect in some way . for this reason , the longer duration shot is employed in slower sequence of dialogue as the audience bids farewell to the criminal .
both the public enemy ( 1931 ) and scarface ( 1932 ) tried to deflect criticisms that they were sensationalizing the lifestyle of the hoodlums , with unconvincing prefaces or disclaimers . in particular , scarface ( 1932 ) began with a critical , written statement to indict gangster hoodlumism and the public ' s and government ' s indifference . the audience was then blamed for promoting the role of the gangster with its perverse fascination in the phenomenon of mob activity - and then challenged :
“i would say that goodfellas introduced the idea of the talkative gangster , ” says susman . “we used to think of the mafioso as somebody who operated under a code of omertà and was fairly quiet about what he did . here we get a gangster who can’t shut up . ” from this , he says , we get “the chatty gangsters and philosophers with guns ”of later movies .

by now everyone who knows me is aware that i ' m rather fond of clive cussler ' s work , because his books are fun to read , full of action and adventure and all things delightful , and usually the books are worth the price you pay . with the gangster , the ninth installment in the isaac bell adventures , it ' s no surprise that i enjoyed the hell out of the book . i love the imagination that went into writing the gangster , over - the - top characters , and all the research that must have occurred even before the
gangster films during the hays production code era always glamorized any form of law enforcement ( ex : law enforcement always viewed as the symbol of light and goodness versus the mobsters that were always viewed as terrible people . )
over 50 gangster films were produced between 1930 and 1933 . of these , the most influential were little caesar , the public enemy , and scarface . each made a star of its lead actor : edward g . robinson , james cagney , paul muni . each told essentially the same story : the rise and fall of the gangster figure . and each featured snappy dialogue , memorable male and female secondary characters , shocking violence and punchy sound design , all of which would be benchmarks of the genre for years to come . to a certain extent , future gangster pictures would be measured against these early successes .
i haven ' t met a clive cussler novel i haven ' t liked yet and i thoroughly enjoyed this one , the second i have read in the isaac bell series . the first was the spy last summer , and i wasn ' t sure what to expect considering the series is set just after the turn of the century , a departure from the other series from mr . cussler . but i did rapidly go through that one and expected another fast paced tale in the gangster and i was not disappointed . i ' m the gangster , bell battles the black hand society ,

when american gangster was announced , with actors denzel washington and russell crowe and directed by ridley scott , it seemed like a can ' t miss project . it missed .
even before enforcement of the production code began in mid - 1934 , the gangster genre started to lose its hold on the audience . the constant criticism of reformers , the national shock over the kidnapping and subsequent death of the lindbergh baby in 1932 which was initially blamed on underworld types , the end of prohibition and the over - production of gangster pictures all contributed to the genre ' s decline . clearly , however , the coup de grâce was delivered when joseph breen took charge of the production code administration . breen let it be known that sympathetic gangsters would no longer be tolerated . realizing that spectators would be unlikely to patronize films featuring thoroughly repellent protagonists , the studio heads turned away from the genre .
offers an excellent survey of the main strains of criticism that have been used to interpret the gangster film , identifying key theorists and their creation of a meta - narrative of generic codes , while also tracing a history of key forms and subgenres from the silent ear to the 1980s .

goodfellas also painted an accurate picture of what was really happening to the mob in the 1980s . “it responds to the rash of informants [ that ] the mafia suffered in the 1980s , which brought down a number of the families . it also reflected increasingly trigger - happy conduct in the mafia families , ” says robert casillo , author of gangster priest : the italian american cinema of martin scorsese .
a genre , then , is the expression of certain ways of perceiving the world . a genre allows a limited number of modes of perception to operate , while not allowing alternate ones . [ 2 ] in the gangster / crime film , shadoian states that the world is perceived in four ways :
fifties gangsters seem simply to want money and power , and when they have it , more . they’re following the drift of the world , of competitive industries and corporations . the gangster is no longer explained . the reasons behind his ruthlessness are obvious - it is only the most ruthless who get to the top . getting to the top means having the big money , having big money means having power over others , and the gangster wants that money and the power it brings , at any human cost . in the fifties the tensions of the cold war are evident . crime , like communism , is against the american way of life . the evils of these poisonous systems are analogous . americans must stick together and support whatever measures , however extreme or unsavory , that a courageous individual adopts to penetrate syndicate operations and hierarchies . the gangster has run out of excuses and , with them , sympathy . in a period of prosperity , his motives are reduced to selfish greed . he no longer acts in response to a problem ; he is the problem .
in the final analysis , crime dramas are robust vehicles for demonstrating the pitfalls of one ' s choices , but the downside is that the conventions of the genre may obscure the choices and motivations at issue . american gangster ' s quandary lies in finding a fresh way to tell its story within a familiar framework . this might have been an impossible hurdle to overcome , but the film is still noteworthy for the attempt .
it’s overrated . the snappy dialogue , the chemistry between the leads , and the psychological tension are all there , but don’t really hit the heights .
the gangster ' s home is the modern city , a mecca of fun and excitement and opportunity . but the metropolis is also figured in the films as a place where someone can lose his moral compass and , ultimately , his soul . although the films contain politicians and police officers and law - abiding city dwellers , the gangster rules the city of these films , a world of nightclubs , taverns , plush apartments and businesses that mask the criminal ' s true underground activities . the protagonist is a voracious hedonist whose all - consuming desire far flashy , expensive clothes and jewelry , large , powerful automobiles and beautiful women drives him forward . one charts his rise to the top of the gangland hierarchy through his acquisition of these iconographic markers .
superlatives abound when people discuss martin scorsese’s 1990 gangster film goodfellas . “no finer film has ever been made about organized crime , ” wrote the late critic roger ebert . “breathless and brilliant , ” is what vincent canby wrote in his review for the new york times .
gangster is an indian ( bengali ) film of romance thriller genre directed by birsa dasgupta with yash dasgupta and mimi chakraborty in the lead . a tale of love , passion , heartbreaks and revenge which forms the crux of the story . the film was extensively shot in various locations of turkey and some portions in kolkata . - padmashri
one way the studios quieted some of the protest and uproar over
america ' s shame
was to shift the emphasis from the criminal to the racket - busting federal agents , private detectives , or
good guys
on the other side of the law . in william keighley ' s g - men ( 1935 ) , the best example of this new ' gangster - as - cop ' sub - genre , screen tough guy james cagney starred as a ruthless , revenge - seeking , impulsive , violent fbi agent to infiltrate criminal gangs on a crime spree in the midwest . although he was on the side of the law working undercover , he was just as cynical , brutal , and arrogant as he had been in his earliest gangster films .
after examination , i would argue that shadoian bases his argument on two faulty presumptions . first , that since all films represent some form of mythmaking , they are all , to a great extent , equitable ( an assumption which may be derived from peter wollen in signs and meaninq in the cinema ) . the result is that shadoian sees no need to enumerate the common elements which define the genre he is writing about . the book ' s subtitle is
the american gangster / crime film ,
indicating that the differences between the gangster film and crime films are minimal and unimportant . further , shadoian , following lévi - strauss , defines his already indistinct genres thematically . thus ,
once the us became a participant in world war ii , the genre went into an immediate decline . of the limited assortment of gangster films produced during the war years , most presented the transformation of the criminal into a patriot , as a consequence of the contemporary crisis . mr . lucky ( 1943 ) was a good example . in the narrative , con man cary grant sets up an evening of casino gambling to help war relief , fully intending to abscond with the proceeds . but the influence of a beautiful woman ( laraine day ) summons forth his latent patriotism and , at the climax , he turns his posh gambling ship into a vessel for the transport of medical supplies . similar gangster reformations occur in all through the night ( 1942 ) , lucky jordan ( 1942 ) and seven miles from alcatraz ( 1943 )

though it ' s certainly admirable to aim high , it ' s like frank lucas himself says :

unfortunately for american gangster , it ends up somewhere between the two .
i haven ' t met a clive cussler novel i haven ' t liked yet and i thoroughly enjoyed this one , the second i have read in the isaac bell series . the first was the spy last summer , and i wasn ' t sure what to expect considering the series is set just after the turn of the century , a departure from the other series from mr . cussler . but i did rapidly go through that one and expected another fast paced tale in the gangster and i was not disappointed . i ' m the gangster , bell battles the black hand society , the forerunner of the mafia , in new york city , an investigation that eventually leads to a plot to assassinate the president . the good and the bad of early 1900s new york is chronicled well and there are the usual cameo appearances from famous figures that liven up the tale , not that it doesn ' t stand well enough on its own . i am definitely looking forward to digging into another isaac bell novel and checking into the world of early twentieth century america .
at the end of the closing credits , frank lucas approaches the camera and fires one shot from a pistol directly at the audience .
russell crowe offers a memorable performance as richie roberts , a scrappy new jersey cop who endeavors to dismantle frank ' s heroin empire . the cop side of the movie is as familiar as its gangster tale , with crowe ' s flawed richie roberts recalling al pacino as lieutenant vincent hanna in

gangster films are morality tales : horatio alger or ' pursuit of the american dream ' success stories turned upside down in which criminals live in an inverted dream world of success and wealth . often from poor immigrant families , gangster characters often fall prey to crime in the pursuit of wealth , status , and material possessions ( clothes and cars ) , because all other ' normal ' avenues to the top are unavailable to them . although they are doomed to failure and inevitable death ( usually violent ) , criminals are sometimes portrayed as the victims of circumstance , because the stories are told from their point of view .
criminal / gangster films are one of the most enduring and popular film genres . they date back to the early days of film during the silent era . in fact , even edwin s . porter ' s silent short western the great train robbery ( 1903 ) has often considered a classic hold - up story and chase film - a movie about crime .

… the gangster / crime film looks at a world that is opposed to legitimate society . focusing there , it can make discoveries not possible from within , make us see things that would otherwise be hard to see …

though i am being too schematic , the two approaches can be defined as follows : the first method uses freud to look for the unconscious tensions / contradictions / traumas which underlie a work of art ( thus , eckert reads marked women as displacing the responsibility for the women ' s lives , from the social system to the overdetermined figure of the gangster , which serves to hide both the sexism and class nature of that society ) , while the second use of freud concentrates on the idea that the artwork seeks to satisfy conscious desires ( so that durgnat analyzes king vidor ' s films in relation to populism because vicar consciously espouses populism ) .
the gangster crime genre , more than any other , is allied in spirit to the dark side of things , and it has always reflected contemporary tensions . it should come as no surprise , therefore , that it too starts disintegrating along with the national psyche in the year 1949 . the quality of postwar life was profoundly changed by the dropping of the bomb in 1945 . by 1949 , fears , guilts , and anxieties had achieved over four years’ time a psychologically ruinous density and momentum . events at the turn of the decade merely exacerbated the prevailing mental and emotional distress .
gangster films dealt with the contemporary urban environment – specifically , the criminal underbelly of big - city life . like westerns , they focused on violent , action - oriented character , but this figure exhibited antisocial attitudes which one might think would have been off - putting to most audience members . yet they were not . spectators demonstrated a fascination for tough guys who lived on the edge . to audiences in the 1930s , the gangster figure represented the ultimate rebel . unlike most citizens , he refused to accept depression - imposed privations . quick with a gun and unafraid to use it , he aggressively pursued power and wealth at a time when most americans felt powerless and deprived .
mnisi believed that the taxi industry may raise the issue of taxi subsidies in the meeting , because it was among the issues continually raised by the industry . he referred to maswanganyi’s transport budget vote speech in may in which the minister spoke about the renewal of the transport subsidy policy .
the major period of noir production is usually taken to run from the maltese falcon in 1941 to touch of evil in 1958 . even after this time , however , british and american critics failed to take film noir seriously . as paul schrader comments , ' for a long time film noir , with its emphasis on corruption and despair , was considered an aberration of the american character . the western , with its moral primitivism , and the gangster film , with its horatio alger values , were considered more american than the film noir . ' schrader goes on to suggest that the fundamental reason for the neglect of noir was the importance of visual style to the form : ' american critics have been traditionally more interested in theme than style : ' it was easier for the sociological critics to discuss the themes of the western and the gangster film apart from stylistic analysis than it was to do for the film noir ' ( schrader ' notes on film noir ' , 1972 . , p . 13 ) .
“it ( the government’s response ) is unlikely to stop it , but it depends on the the responses .
goodfellas didn’t just look authentic . for those who’d led the mafia life it had a definite sense of the real thing . “henry loved the film , ” recalls lorcan otway , co - founder of the museum of the american gangster in new york , who hosted a 20th anniversary screening of goodfellas in 2010 which henry hill attended . but perhaps the film hit too close to home ; otway remembers hill being fidgety when watching the picture . “henry was always a hyperactive fellow , that’s kind of the core of his dysfunction . he would pace throughout the film , going from the front of the house , watching the audience watch it , to going backstage to watch the film , ” he says .
though shadoian ' s four points have the appearance of defining the genre ' s structure , such is not the case , he says that these perceptions are
the ingrained factors of the gangster / crime film ' s operation , that which its structure and situation inevitably express .
( p . 5 ) however , his definition boils down to the observation that the genre is structured around an opposition between insiders and outsiders , which is used to comment on either society or the individual . however , such a structure cannot be confined solely to the gangster / crime film for the structure is too general . it is possible , for example , to see melodrama in the same terms . i could argue that most melodramas center around a situation in which a woman opposes her class / society / family and that by this situation the genre comments on either the women or the society . there are , of course , obvious differences between the two genres . my criticism is that shadoian ' s criteria are not specific enough to account for the differences .
the film noir visual style was the successor to the german expressionism mainly found in the film “the cabinet of dr . caligari . ” german expressionism gave way to the contrast between light and dark otherwise known as chiaroscuro . the majority of the film is shot in low - key light .
crime is corruption that exacts from the public good a daily price . it must be annihilated at its source . a major motif of the fifties crime film is the difficulty of threading one’s way to the top , of tearing away the masks of crime and discovering where , how , and by whom the immense criminal empire is ruled . the underworld czar retains a grandeur , but of a diabolical , perverse , and often hateful kind . his vileness justifies the hero’s savagery , but the crime - busting hero is part of the corruption . he exhibits the characteristics of the old gangster . in the exchange of roles , however , there is a difference . the fifties hero is generally humorless and morose , is less likable , and often more brutal .

it is apparent , then , that the book contains serious problems with its method , especially for a work which is supposed to provide an analysis of the development of the genre . there are good points to the book , of course , particularly the readings of the individual films , as , for example , shadoian ' s reading of kiss me deadly , where he works through the various levels of the film : characters , violence , sexuality , use of culture , photography , humor , etc . , in a way which supports his thesis that the film is sentimental , at the same time as it opens the film up for further analysis . however , for anyone wishing to understand the genre , as opposed to the individual films , and the factors which determine its development , this is not the place to look . regrettably , the book never approaches the evocativeness of its title . it becomes , instead , another dead end in the study of the gangster genre .

the label ' modernist ' is somewhat voguish and unsatisfactory , but may serve to cover the strategies of films as distinct as bonnie and clyde , point blank , the godfather , and the godfather ii . the term signifies , in the main , an articulate and consciously conceived non - illusionistic cinema . the genre from the late sixties on is marked by films that prevent the audience from nursing the illusion that they are watching a real world . the nature of the relationship between art and the audience ( and art and reality ) undergoes a major shift .

it wasn ' t until the sound era and the 1930s that gangster films truly became an entertaining , popular way to attract viewers to the theatres , who were interested in the lawlessness and violence on - screen . the events of the prohibition era ( until 1933 ) such as bootlegging and the st . valentine ' s day massacre of 1929 , the existence of real - life gangsters ( e . g . , al capone , john dillinger ,

maswanganyi said then his department was finalising the much awaited public transport subsidy policy , which would focus more on subsidising the user than the operators , irrespective of the mode used .
although it is generally accepted that crime and criminal acts provide the basis for the majority of noir films and the noir style ( see durgnat , ' the family tree of film noir ' , 1974 ) the influence of noir spreads beyond the gangster / thriller genres influencing melodramas , horror films , detectives , even ( although this would not be universally agreed ) westerns and musicals . indeed , schrader has suggested that noir can be seen as touching ' most every dramatic hollywood film from 1941 to 53 ' ( schrader , 1972 . , p . 9 ) .
