A Bronx Tale (1993)

Sadly Over-hyped

Fantastic!

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

This movie was a really good movie in my opinion. This movie was able to represent the constant feud between whites and black that still exist today. Additionally this movie illustrated how hard teenage romance is and how much effort that has to be put into it to make it work. One thing I think this movie could have worked was making the ending better. Another thing this movie did well was allowing its audience to be able to empathize with several of the characters and i think that a good thing because while watching the movie you tend to relate to the difficulties and experience of others.

This film was for Bob De Niro what THE ALAMO was for the Duke - John Wayne. Both made here a movie where the shadow of their respective masters and friends were everywhere, in every shoot, every character, every angle. John Ford was in the Alamao, as Marty Scorcèse was in A BRONX TALE. Period. Robert De Niro gave her his best performance as a director, far better than he did in 2007, although it was a good movie, but quite different than this one, more ambitious too.

I really loved this film when it came out and have recently re-watched it. I think it's brilliant. such a great and simple story and the characters are perfect. I can clearly see massive similarities between this and Goodfellas and feel Goodfellas must have been a huge influence, in terms of introducing the characters with the V.O. and just the way the film is shot. An amazing debut from DeNiro as director, such a shame he didn't do more. The character of Sonnie is perfect. Unlikeable but so likable at the same time. such a wise an inspiring father figure for C. I think this film doesn't get the credit it deserves up against things like mean streets of Goodfellas but really should be up there with them. It has great repeat viewing appeal

I don't know the Bronx. I only know it from tales and movies. But there was not any movie like this about the Bronx, i saw before. In this movie, there is no single boring Minute. From beginning to the end, it's a interesting Story about the troubles from coming of Age in a Mafia ruled district. The effort of a father to Keep his beloved son away from sliding into a Company of the Mafioso, the effort of the son to do the best and cope with the circumstances and the Mafioso who lives to keep the scales in Balance for not diyng to early. :) There are a few aspects, that make this movie unique. It's the Story with the exact amount of Tension that makes you want you watch continuously. The movie is perfectly edited for flowing from Scene to Scene. The Story is told in a flawless flow. The camera-work is on a high Level and the casting is dreamlike! The actors are all perfectly casted and do a real good work. One of the best of deNiro and i do not now one other movie, in which Chazz Palminteri is more sympathetic than in this one. I will surely watch this again. :)
