Well, I was almost at the end of the movie when I realised that I had seen it before ! The images of De Niro inside of his car (getting blown up) and Pesci and his brother getting beaten to within inches of death and then being buried alive in the desert rang alarm bells.
A very sad movie, in the same vein as The Godfather II/Goodfellas/Once Upon A Time In America. I think gangster movies manage to portray well what I can only describe as "the competitive element" that our genome has given us. For the reason of survial. But why survival should be something to be selected - I have no idea. Other than that we are supposed to survive to take a test.
You live quite near to Las Vegas right?
The De Niro character in the movie was most interesting to me, I used to try to control things until I realised that I can control very little. Sharon Stone acted out of her skin, her character reminded me of someone I used to know. Sharon looked much better in her 60's outfit than when her character passed on in the early 80's.
SOA, smesh-Oh-Ah :-)
