(crime, drama)
This Martin Scorsese film depicts the Janus-like quality of Las Vegas--it has a glittering, glamorous face, as well as a brutal, cruel one. Ace Rothstein and Nicky Santoro, mobsters who move to Las Vegas to make their mark, live and work in this paradoxical world. Seen through their eyes, each as a foil to the other, the details of mob involvement in the casinos of the 1970's and '80's are revealed. Ace is the smooth operator of the Tangiers casino, while Nicky is his boyhood friend and tough strongman, robbing and shaking down the locals. However, they each have a tragic flaw--Ace falls in love with a hustler, Ginger, and Nicky falls into an ever-deepening spiral of drugs and violence.

Casino is a very good movie. If you are at all interested in
Gangster / mafia movies, or if you are at all a fan of director / co-writer
Martin Scorsese, novelist / co-writer Nicholas Pileggi, or actors Robert
De Niro, Joe Pesci, Sharon Stone and James Woods, then Casino
Doubt is a must-see. I am a great fan De Niro, and I am a fan of Scorsese
And Woods also. Certainly enjoyed the film.
But I do not think that the Casino is far from a "perfect" film. An 8 of the 10
may seem high, but if you are familiar with my comments, you know
Not that a high score of me - is about half
Me. There are many flaws here, and I am going to spend some time
Pointing out, especially since the film receives many 10's.
Casino is based on the story of Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal and
Stardust Casino in Las Vegas. The Rosenthal is here named
Sam "Ace" Rothstein and is played by De Niro. The hotel became the Tangier
the film. The Mafia Rothstein back, but it has to create a false front
While Rothstein "secret" runs the hotel, because of its game
charges back East. He falls in love and marries former
Hooker / call-girl and current Vegas hustler Ginger McKenna (Stone), which
remains in love with her pimp, Lester Diamond (Woods). Meanwhile, peat
- Strong Arm Nicky Santoro (Pesci) to the heads of protecting Vegas
Rothstein, but eventually ends up running his own rackets and trying to
take over the city. Casino is the story of the relationship
And the political problems that this cast of characters and a series of
Partners encounter. It is more or less a gradual path of destruction
All involved.
The film is unusual in many respects. The most prominent is a rarity
Much of it is told through the narration alternated the two main characters
, Rothstein and Santoro. The aim was likely to include a lot more than
Pileggi's book, in a more literal, it would have been
possible through more conventional means. It should be stressed that
Narrative works as well as it does, especially since a lot of it
Because a rapid-fire delivery. For at least the first 15 minutes,
is barely a pause in the dialogue narrational.
One of the reasons it works is because the style of using Scorsese
To accompany the opening. It employs a lot of quick cuts while
Introducing very stylized, as the documentary footage. The opening is
As far as a fun behind the camera to see how typical
Casino works as that feels like a live-action film about gangsters.
Finally, the film takes place almost 100% since the story hardly
narration (though the story never ceases completely from the film).
This is so subtle that one hardly notices. Scorsese as a director
Also, the style evolved from the rapid approach of the court
Something more conventional documentary.
This is fine, but on the other hand, the gradual evolution
It can only happen because the film is so long - watches in just a couple
minutes shy of 3 hours. This is a bit too long to be told the story.
At least at the halfway point, it begins to feel a little draggy. All
The material is necessary for the story, but it could have been more strict,
Much more.
Another unusual aspect is the score / soundtrack, which consists mainly
pop hits from a large block of time - 30 years or more. Although I
As the songs - I've owned CDs, as they came out and I listen to those who
often enough - and the songs can help set the mood of some scenes,
Being a little too relentless and dominant in history after a while.
It begins to address the dreaded "mix tape" mentality, where the songs are
exists only because the director wanted to share some bitchin 'tunes
loves. A bit of ebb and flow with the music, and music
Best correlation with the tragedy, who have worked even better.
Presumably, Scorsese is shooting for something like a sensory assault,
Because that is what you get in Vegas. The visuals are filled with neon lights
, striking clothing (I love the costumes Rothstein), and striking people
Tal. The soundtrack is probably meant to rise. But in this case, if I were
directing, I think I would have been a combination of
instructed music that incorporates a lot of sounds Casino, or
Simulates with a lot of sounds Casino - the cacophonous symphony of electronic
Various machines constantly go through their ways - with schmaltzy songs
Show, Liza wing, Jerry Vale, Tom Jones, Wayne Newton, etc.
< br> That Scorsese is trying to give a sensory assault Vegas style is also
support of the activity audio-visual contrast between the scenes in Las Vegas
scenes elsewhere, as in Kansas City. So I can understand the
Grounds, but I am not sure that the final result exactly worked.
Of course, the performances are exceptional, even if everyone is playing
kind, except perhaps Woods. The plot and characters are written
And takes place so that the viewer can see disaster coming so
Before characters can - and that is as it should be. For example, as
A viewer, you know as soon as it begins it is a bad idea for
Rothstein to kowtow to McKenna to win her hand in marriage, but
Rothstein in love is blind and I pay for it. All
is developed almost a little predictable in this sense, and another mild
Falla is shown in the penultimate moment of the film to the right in
principle. It tends to make them feel even more widespread,
As you maintain the expectation that the scene. But
minor defects should not stop anyone from seeing this film, and
Of course, a good number of spectators feel that no defects at all.
