Gangs Of New York(Hollywood Movie 2003)
2 years ago,i was visiting to stranger's home where he had a lot of expensive hi-fi stuffs and equipments.
Over there,i was browsing the various movie clips(short ones of various movies) and one scene from this movie caught my attention
I had not a chance to see it till today.

Before i watch this movie,i has an impression that this movie gotta kick my ass somehow.
The movie enacted in the period where America was having anarchy to reform the government and its country.
America was like singapore in somehow especially that many people from different countries emirgate to America for better hope of living.
What cause America to go into anarchy?
Too many different races and hence they wanted to vote the one who could protect them.
Basically you could say that it was racism causing so much violence.

It was about a blood revenge needed to be settled.
In the end,it was decent movie but not the best movie i would have viusalize.

Rating:7/10

Goodfellas(Hollywood Movie 1990)
At the beginning credit of the movie, it said that it was based on real life story.
A boy aspired to be a mobster and he got his wish as he walked on his way from helper to well known figure in his own home area.

He met his wife through his friend beacuse his friend wanted his wife's friend who wouldn't go out with Italian alone.
At first, he was so quiet and he didn't attend the second time meeting.
She was so upset that she went and confront him.
He was so shocked in some way and tried to console with the fact that he couldn't say anything when she did not talk.At the same time,he was impressed by her and of course her beauty.
And there, he married her.
*it is very ironic way to do*

At young,he nearly went jail but the court had to relase him due to insufficient evidence when he didn't not reveal anything.
But he wasn't lucky when he grew to be adult.
Caught and then jailed for 4 years and released on good behaviour on probation.
His boss warned him to be clean and don't do dealing with Jimmy who take too many things at once.

It proved to be his downfall when he did not heed his boss's warning/advice.
He was caught by narcotic cops due to undoing things made by Jimmy who killed every person who took part in the stealing coupe.
In the end,he knew that Jimmy would kill him and he decided to get his wife and himself to get into protection program which mean he has to be witness to testify them.

*I thought that it gotta be a lot actions but it never meant.Too many narration talks just like Gangs of New York.Anyway,i envy him for having this kind of wife who love him dearly and tried to flush the drugs away into the toilet bowl before cops could search the house. She slipped the gun into her panties. That is where i want to have such wife who can take care of neccessity stuffs but i am not going to be a mobster*
