a bronx tale

So yesterday David came home with a movie he borrowed from a library. I saw the cover and I thought I wasn't going to like it. It was some old mafia looking movie--not my type. But as I started to watch it I realized I really liked the movie. It also turns out It kinda was the types of movies I like...anywho, the movie was called a bronx tale, and robert de niro was in it. (I actually thought he'd be in it more lol).

This movie is a story about a little boy who looks up to this bad mafia guy, although the boy doesn't see him as bad instead he thinks he's the coolest person he'd ever seen. One day the boy was sittin on his stoop and witnesses a murder. It was two guys getting into a fight over, what the boy thought was a parking spot, and Sonny, the mafia guy the kid looks up to, shoots one of the guys. The police come and ask the boy to point out the killer and since he didn't want to be a rat he said it was none of them. sonny's outlook of the kid changed complete and from then on he took him under his wing as if he were his own son. From then on a couple of yrs passed and the kid grEw but he was still close to sonny. That guy taught him right from wrong and always told him to stay in school and get two educations. Street smart and school smart.

The kids real dad never liked the fact that he hung out with Sonny because to him he was a "bad guy".

Well, what I'm trying to get at is that sometimes people might be perceived as bad because of what they do or did, but its not 100% true until you get to personaly know them. I mean, this guy was bad to the bone, he killed people and sold who knows what to be as rich as he was, but when it came to this kid he wanted the best for him andgave him all the love in the world. He told him never to be like him...

So yea this movie really opened my eyes. I guess it also ties in with don't judge a book by its cover. (Shrugs)

A bronx tale--go watch it!
