A Bronx Tale
So this week we are watching a movie called A Bronx Tale. So far it is very entertaining and enjoyable and I would even watch this film outside of school. So in this movie, there is a boy called C, troubled by sociological pressures. He belongs to many different sociological groups advising him to do different things. His first group is his family. His father is a very honest man who earns his living as a bus driver. His father permits him from seeing "Sunny" and all the guys at the bar, which leads to his next group. He witnesses a murder and lies for Sunny, the man who committed it, so Sunny decides to take him in. He makes $600 by throwing dice and serving them drinks. When his father finds this money he returns it to Sunny and permits C from ever seeing Sunny or going to the bar again. C disobeys and continues to go to the bar every chance he gets. C must struggle through sociological pressures to decide how he will act and who he will become.

I agree that he belongs to many different sociological groups telling him to do many different things. C does struggle with the pressures on what he should do and how he should act! I agree =)
ReplyDeleteEven though C disobeyed his father and continued to see sonny, I think it was a good thing because sonny taught him so much.
ReplyDeleteI think C does struggle with the conflict between those two groups in his life. I think that both groups taught him different but very important aspects of life.
