A Bronx Tale ("A Bronx Tale", USA, 1993)



I wanted to learn more about Robert De Niro's directorial talent and whether it's limited to "The Godfather." As expected, it isn't. And again, it's a drama about people with Italian roots in America. The perspectives are diverse: some try to live by the laws of the mafia in their homeland, while others try to live an honest life. And our young protagonist finds himself in the middle of all this, as if between two fires, although more accurately, between two paths that will influence his upbringing and his entire future.
And then it turns out that there are more than two sources of conflict, and that's when "A Bronx Tale" truly reveals itself.
A very good and heartwarming film.

Guys! (USSR, 1981)

A very good and heartwarming film.

I seem to have seen it in fragments before, but it needs to be watched in its entirety from beginning to end. It seems like an ordinary slice-of-life story, with issues of former wives and children, but it keeps you on the edge of your seat more powerfully than many action movies... And every five minutes, you need a break to wipe your eyes, otherwise, the tears get in the way of watching. If I were rating movies, this would be a solid 10; it wrings you out to the core, and you empathize with each of the characters as if they were yourself.
I don't know how else to give objective information without spoilers about whether it's worth watching for those who are reading the review. Well, "Only Old Men Go to Battle" leaves a similar impression, although not quite. But I think if you've seen that and liked it, you'll enjoy this one too.
