the Alto Knights dir by barry levinson - robert deniro as Genovese AND Costello in history of mafia - one last classic?

[Bugzbunny129]

I think I've seen parts of this before, good lookin out.

I've always been interested in crime syndicates whether it's black, italian, int'l groups etc.

You've seen ZeroZeroZero and Gomorra, right?

Of course. Both are great. Gomorras great just for showing camorra which had been in nyc until the mafia killed them off in 30s.

I just relooked it up. The morello crime family split into 3 diff factions. And when maranzano won the war he split them into 5 families with himself as head. Then we know what happened maranzano didnt trust non italians. Lucky knew that was only way itd work. So..


But yea. Its relaly indepth. Shows how small mob bosses were going to war in 10s/20s and literally how they split it up. I know theres a scene showing first commission meeting with capone, lucky, maranzano, anastasia, mineo , etc etc.

Any mob head should watxh so yea if ya interested in it like me its a GREAT watch. Only wish it never ended lol

Good trailer. Deniro just looks so damn old anymore. But he was really good in Killers of the Flowe Moon. Haven't had a good mafia movie in a minute.

as long as deniro doesn't have any fight scenes like in the irishman

Well, I blame Scorcese for that awful scene. How do you film that and look at it then say, yeah that looks good.

Sometime you should check out the books (Gomorrah & ZeroZeroZero). Saviano's writing style is pretty wild...the books are nothing like the shows really, they're fact based. The series are loosely based of the books (Secondigliano War for S1 & S2 of Gomorra), but they books are much more in-depth

The fact that this scene wasn't shot completely different is insane

They could've shot this so many different ways to make it not look so goofy

To save money.
