Gomorrah!!!

This film had given me mixed emotions on whether I liked it. I was confused after the film had finished but after we talked about it in class, I realized how real this movie actually was. This was more of a reality than I had ever expected or even seen in any film. Watching this film was as if I walked right into the gang part of Italy and it was still carrying on from what it was doing and my presence had no impact on it. As if I was a fly on the wall, watching and understanding everything that was going on. This film made me feel no sympathy for anyone in it because I had not gotten to know anyone who was in this movie. There was no plot to this, only getting to see parts of different people in the film was the reason I was not sad to see the people from the Chinese culture get into and accident or when the gang was in the hospital deciding who was responsible for killing their gang friend. What did shock me a little was when the kids said that now he was part of a gang, then his friend that used to be is not his enemy. This movie was like war. Walking in and seeing people that used to be friends now killing and stealing from them was a little uneasy for me, but as I said before, I didn’t get to know each of the characters long enough to even care what was really going on. I try to pay attention to every movie that I watch but with this one, there was not much detail. There were kid’s getting into trouble that got them killed and choices made by gangs to kill certain people because they felt it was their responsibility to get the person.
