Gomorrah 2008

Gomorrah is set in Italy and looks at the modern day mafia in a Napels sub urb where the drug crime is high along with robbery. There is a common theme in this town, there is a dommio effect of people killing, such as you kill my brother I shall kill you and than if you have killed my son I'm going to get you, than you if kil my friend I'm going to get you and than if you kill my sister I'm going to get you. A never ending line of deaths from people that see's no end. If your part of the people who are the boss of the town then your kind of safe. But I think the main rule of the place is Don't Trust Anyone. Over and over again you see bad things happen to people and getting killed for they have truseted someone. The little boy was friends with a woman who has "dubbed" someone in, so with his connection with her they were able to get her for she put her trust in him to come out of his house. Another example of trust is the town is the two guys who try and make a break into the top dogs of crime. They try and pull a couple of jobs and take the guns from the top dogs in the town in Napels. In the end they get asked to kill this man but end up getting themselves killed instead.

The films cinematogrpahy was amazing. I really liked the camera angles there was and thought that some scenes where really played out well. An example of the scene when the charter is seeing if he can get the money for protection. And when everyone is shot he comes out and walks past all the people who had died. For me this secne was very moving for it really highlitghted how many deaths there really were.

Overall I didn't really like the film but the cinematography was good.
