Entry #8 Wise Guys

 What is going on you guys! Another blog, another movie. By this time, you guys should already know I like watching my, I guess you could call it "old money" movies. You may ask why? The lessons, the clothes, the way they talk and so many other things... It brings back so much memories and makes you live that time where this generation didn't get to experience. Looking back at those movies and comparing it to today's world is completely different. Even their accents were slightly different than how people talk now. One of the legendary 90's movies was Good Fellas. The movie good fellas has taught me so many lessons and even changed the perspective of how to view certain morals and values and really showed at least one angle if not all the angles of what was it like to live in New York. With that being said and how the idea and vibe of the movie is great itself, the actors played a huge role in showing the viewers and reflecting the little details of the story due to their great acting as they were all skilled and experienced to portray that picture of what was it like to live in those times.

    In today's world, everything has a price tag. It's not only the sold products that have a price on them, but other aspects of life come with their own consequences or let me say price. Your actions will cost you something, and for the Good Fellas, it was their murders that had a price they needed to pay. Even though you might think you got away with your actions that affected someone, karma will always come back and either gets you with prison, death, or betrayal, which was an angle that the movie showed.

    Everyone talks about the American Dream,  but sometimes a dream can turn into a nightmare which is something that not all people think about and usually just think about the temporary good things that happen first without really keeping in mind the probability that things can go south real quick. One thing that was shown is that the idea that anyone can rise from nothing to success through hard work and dedication and how you can climb the ladder to wealth and power, but by taking the risky shortcut of crime. The movie showed that chasing those things without a limit leads to ruin and you would end up losing your identity, your people and end up living the "normal" life again and kind of spinning back into the same old loop that you tried running away from.
