Misunderstood by many.... But one of the greatest films ever

Rating: Null/10 (12 April 2004)

a lot people her bash this movie as being boring.I read their comments and it seems they only like the violent parts cause that's all they could remember. But really the story is about how Mike,a normally nice guy(college boy,apple of his daddies eye)becomes a cold hearted monster this is the tragedy of this story( which is it's greatest asset)I was very engaged by all the characters I even know names and lines of the movie. As a kid I didn't understand it and couldn't watch it and I loved gangster movies. But as I got older I finally understood the movie. The violence only makes the point of Mike's turn even stronger as he shows no remorse for what he has done. In the beginning of the movie he tells Kay the story of Johnny Fontane's contract. But he basically tells her that's how my family operates,not me. Then as the film pushes on he becomes worse then his father ever was because he kills with no remorse and does only what his mind tells him instead of listening to his heart sometimes( classic struggle). In my opinion this is one of the greatest films ever!!!!!!
