It is one of the most moving and powerful films ever seen. It seems to be a simple story about a boy living in The Bronx in the 1960s . It is simple, but full of humanity and beauty. A father , a bus-driver, fighting against the gangsters not to spoil his son and at the same time trying to give him a formal education . A son, too young at that time to see the dangers of the streets, overwhelmed by the new job with the gangster Sonny.

Everything changes when Calogero(C) witnessed the murder of a man committed by Sonny.

This makes the boy be interested in the world of the mafia and especially in Sonny, whom he admires.

The director, Robert De Niro, starts with a great opening sequence, he captures every element of the Bronx in those years. The music is really good.

We can recognize a clear influence of Martin Scorsese: a taste of the elegant framing and camera movements, the excellent use of musisc in some scenes.

The film is not shot in the Bronx, but in Queens(where some buildings kept the style of the 60) and Long Island.

Music of the film: Boby Watson ,Bustalk
