These gangs are involved in drug trafficking and gambling.

Looking back on it now, this period of Prohibition in full, ugly flower seems fantastically incredible. Capone himself was incredible, the creation of an evil dream’,” (Bergreen 19). Capone was so into organized crime that he became one of the most famous mobsters of his time. With the help of Johnny Torrio, Lucky Luciano, and others, the Italians in America would move into the system of organized crime that they would help refine, improve, and expand its scope nationwide. Al Capone is the one man most connected to Italian American crime in the 1920’s.
Many distributors are or well known as gangsters. What better way to show life in the streets from mobster point of view than a film. The Ganster genere of films started in the early 1900’s and contiues till this day. Many ganster movies are similar. You have the “boss” or head man in charge who will lead to his own destrucution.
BOOK REVIEW: Spike Lee Film: 14 SYNOPSIS: German authors Gunnar Landsgesell and Andreas Ungerbock's tome SPIKE LEE FILM: 14 is a comprehensive, handsome-looking read featuring an interesting and extensive profile on the confrontational and immensely talented American filmmaker Spike Lee and his brand of cinema. The text is written in the German language but the contents are universally received as the scribers serve up a hearty menu of Lee's filmography that includes his cinematic works from 1986's She's Gotta Have It to 2006's Inside Man. Among the film critics/film scholars that contribute their critiques to Landsgesell and Ungerbock's introspective movie book is well-known Pulitzer Prize-winning Chicago-based Roger Ebert (he penned the 2004 review She Hate Me). Besides the notable contribution from Ebert, Landsgesell and Ungerbock tap the services from other revered American and European sources that serve up Lee's films in thorough, thought-provoking compositions. In this 304-page entertainment book, there is other subject matter to consider besides the in-depth reviews of the contributors' written material.
what extent do the media products in your case do more than just entertain their audience(s)? To answer this question I will be using examples from three different movies.

It could be said that it represents Barthes ‘referential code’ which is said to be something that is read with understanding due to cultural awareness i.e.
When it was all over, Capone had won his victory for Cicero, but at a price that would haunt him for the rest of his life. Quite a bit has been written and rumored about Al Capone in magazine and newspaper articles, movies, and books that is completely false. One of the most common fictions is that like many gangsters of that era, he was born in Italy. Absolutely not true. Al Capone was born in America, though this outstanding crime lord was strictly domestic, taking the infamous Italian criminal society, and fashioning it into a modern American criminal business.
Well a lot of directors tend to look around in society to see what may be interesting to watch and what a person can somewhat relate to at the time. Based on a movie, a lot of the times, a viewer can be able to point out immediately the time and place in which it was depicted. The reason for that is because the settings of the movie can relate to reality’s current settings. A prime example is the main difference between 1954 Alfred Hitchcock’s, Rear Window, and 2007 D.J Caruso’s, Disturbia. Although both movies are very similar, they are very different because as the time moves from the 1950s to 2000s, our culture has transformed therefore, the movies has transformed along with it.
He had claimed that he was the brains of the unification as well as the diplomat by saying, “We ardently wish to free Italy from foreign rule…. We want to drive out the foreigners not only because we want to see our country powerful and glorious, but because we want to elevate the Italian people in intelligence and moral development.” (Document 3) Due to the Italians being so separated because it was also partially ruled by Austria, the people of Italy eventually came together and freed the North and South, therefore uniting Italy into one nation. Giuseppe Garibaldi, who was known as the “sword” of Italian unification, helped Italy’s unification in the South, by using his “Red Shirts”. Giuseppe Garibaldi stated, “O noble Thousand! I love to remember you!
He told The Hollywood Reporter that "We actually did pull the word 'guidos' from voiceover and descriptions of the show. However, if [the roommates] refer to themselves that way, we let that exist as is." One of the roomies, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, doesn't see what the big deal is. A Guido, he says, is just "a good-looking Italian
The OWI would manipulate the scripts and outcomes of many films for the benefits of the country as a whole. These books were historical contexts on films during the time of war. The books found were historical because they went over the history of World War II during this time, and they were also able to glimpse at the history of film. Both books made it obvious to their readers that the government played a major role in cinema during this time. Pressure from the war was high, and any way for the government to interlude propaganda to the public in order to boost morale was
