This is separating the “star” from the person and letting the audience see that these famous actors really do live their own lives with their own problems. I liked how real old films were used in the movie of Adam Sandler as a child to make it more realistic. Another example the film is reflecting on reality is with Seth Rogen’s character.

Even later on in the movie, we also see that Will is a chain smoker, violent, and has extreme trust issues.
Event: Gangster Squad (Movie) Date: January 12th 2013 I really am not into action movies, I’m more of the chick flick kind-of-girl, but Gangster Squad really surprised me. I really appreciated the fact that they kind of made it into a little provocative love story as well.

The movie was inspired by true events, so it made it even that much better knowing that you weren’t just seeing a movie, you were actually getting a little peak back in the history of the mobs, whether this movie was a good representation of the actual events or not, it sure as heck made it feel like it. I was really pleased just how well the movie really made it feel like you were back in the 50’s right alongside with the famous gangster, Mickey Cohen.
