A Bronx Tale
the main character of the movie is a boy names Callogero or as he becomes known as "C". he grows up on the streets of the Bronx. there are many social groups that C belongs to. just by living in the Bronx he is apart of that grouping. he is an Italian, this places him into the group of the neighbor hood. there was a lot of racism where he was living, but C is white and he is a male. he also is young and doesnt know to much so that places him into the irrational or ignorent group. he is appart of his friends group and is deffinetly in a group with sonny though i do not believe he is in sonnys crew. C and sonny had a special relationship they were like father and son that is why they make up a group but C is not in sonnys crew because C doesnt really interact with the other members of the crew he only really interacts with sonny. So some of the groups that C is in are: Lives in the Bronx,Italian, neaighbor hood, white, male, young, irrational, ignorent, group with his friends, and in a group with Sonny. through out the movie thought some of these groups change. All his friends die which takes that group away, and heat the end of the movie he has grown and matured so he does not seem ignorent or irrational. The Master group or the group that C is most related to is Being Italian. this is becasue every one around him is Italian and that is how he grew up thats what has influenced him his entire life. the life style of the Italians seemed to be that of a mofia system. there was a power in the neightbore hood that every on looked up to and respected. i feel like by the end of the movie C grew up and realized that was a bad way to live. i would infer that he would change his life style and this would mean his master group would change. to what i am not sure, most likely he would follow his father and become a working man so i would say that the master group would have changed for C at the very end from the Italian way of life to the life of the working man. this is becasue C finaly sees that the easy way and the gangster way was dangerous and ultomitly not worth losing your life and all of his fathers lessions finally set in that the worst thing is wasted tallent. Were there any other groups that C was apart of? if there are i cant think of any. and what would you say was his master group? was it being white cuz of the racism or some thing else? randome but who do you think that C looked up to more Sonny or his father and why?

bhaynes i had a lot of the same ideas as u so obviously u copied me...haha but ya ur question at the end, i think most of the movie he looked up to sonny, but at the end he realized that really its his dad who he should look up to. i thnk so because he maturs and stuff throughout the movie he starts off as a young kid and sonny easily becomes good friends wit him and just makes C "cool" i guess. but wit the death of sonny he realizes, man this aint no life, and he realizes my dad is the one to look up to. thts my 2 cents take it or leave it haha
ReplyDeleteI will take Berm's 2cents and raise ya another 2. Seems to me to be the message of the movie, and a good one at that.
