- Here's the low-down my homies. This article is all about what the movie American Gangster is all about. It talks about how Denzel (Frank Lucas in the movie) delivers the character correctly and shows the persons true emotions. After all, he is an academy award winner. Crowe also gets the same respect even though the movie is Lucas' life, not Crowe's character, Ritchie. The movie is slightly embelished and fabricated for cinema purposes. The movie also touches back to its roots in the Godfather and other similar movies.
- This article is important because the writer, Kenneth Turan, does a very good job making sure the reader understands that the movie is not all fact. It has been embelished in certain parts of the movie to convey a message and it is by no means a documentary. It is important that people know this is fiction, not fact. Also, this article says who the director and writer was and gives a little information about the development of the writing and why the movie falls in the order it falls in.
- I saw the movie and reading this article helped me understand the movie more. Reviews like this can enhance the actual experience.
