Title: Movie Review: A Bronx Tale (1993) Post by: Dave Gray on March 10, 2006, 12:27:05 am Premise: A kid gets on a powerful man's good side, and must balance between the risky way of gangsters, the troublesome path of his friends, and the honest life of his father.
Rating: Very Good. This movie started off a lot like Goodfellas, but then went in its own direction. I was pretty surprised at some turns it made, unexpectedly. I was happy to see that characters were not one-sided....everyone had good and bad to them. Despite being a "gangster movie", it was really only a setting, and had more to do with racial relations. At the heart of the story was a boy growing up with two father figures, and getting a duel education -- one in school, one on the street. My only complaint is that the narration was a little choppy, and some of the descriptions were simplified and, as a writer, it bothered me for some reason. For example: "His name was toupe, because he wore a bad toupe." Maybe I'm just anal.
