Oh, the one with Di Caprio and the other one, Bourne Identity, set in Boston run by Nicholson... my gosh. It's nice to watch, but all we need is for Nicholson to step into a phone booth, come out, and take off.

To other films in the genre, Americans. The Italian ones are much more on point than any American film about the Italian mafia. It's a bit like if Petri had decided to tell the story of the Clockers from Queensbridge; he would have made a mess. While Spike Lee's take, as far as I know (nothing) and what I've heard (a lot), seems really realistic in the true sense of the word. But to make another example, the movie about Jimmy Hoffa struck me as an interstellar bunch of nonsense, complete with an orbiting station around.

Oh, I almost forgot American Gangster. I don't know if it's realistic (after all, it's a confession, and one confesses what’s convenient for them) and by the way, it's written or screenplayed or whatever the hell by Pileggi, the author of the book from which Goodfellas is adapted (he's also involved in Casino).

The story has been told differently by Hill; more or less, we're facing a "Criminal Novel" where instead of De Cataldo, there’s Scorsese. The figure of the Irishman doesn’t hold up, doing whatever the hell he wants while the mafia does nothing. Being an American film, it's normal to have an Irish hero, but it's not realistic. Lucky Luciano is realistic because he doesn’t say a damn thing. In fact, in reality, we don’t know a damn thing. "Blow" would also be realistic if it weren't for the fact that it only exposes dead characters or those already arrested, and one should also believe that Jung was bringing tons of cocaine into the USA and giving it all to one person. What’s more, a gay, former hairdresser, sweet as a Sachertorte. And then there was the groundhog making the chocolate. Then, well, he’s all good and tender with everyone, and it’s all the wife’s fault. How. "Banditi a Milano" is instead very, very realistic, given that it talks about a gang of idiots (the Banda Cavallero); there's enough known not to invent anything. "Todo Modo," on the other hand, was not only realistic but also prophetic; Sciascia and Petri together certainly couldn't make a mess. Anyway, I've seen "Goodfellas" 30 times, just to be clear.

Well, Scarface is a cartoon, beautiful but a cartoon. Although, stranger than fiction, the real Scarface from Miami was a former Colombian hooker, lesbian, fat, and psychopathic.

The most realistic is Lucky Luciano, with Volontè, by Francesco Rosi. Or Banditi a Milano, with Volontè, by I don't remember. Or even Todo Modo, with Volontè, by Elio Petri.

You're a Blowfish. Say it loud, I'm Blowfish! Fuck yeah I'm a Blowfish! Really cool.

Gabriele Gall, I’ve seen your links all over the place. I wanted to tell you: you suck. It’s normal, since you’re small and you’ll have ridiculous tools, but do us a favor: stop it.

They are deserving of applause; it wasn't easy to make a record like this, even if they got there little by little. If you listen to "Each One" first and then this one, you can tell that they have music in their veins. So, five. However, I don't think I'll listen to it again, partly because I'm a bit tired of the genre, and partly because if I have to listen to things like this, I prefer them to be made with electronic instruments; with the guitar, you can't go too far (in fact, the range of sounds proposed is quite limited).
