A Bronx Tale

The past few days we watched A Bronx Tale. The boy in the movie, who is called C and Collogero is influenced in many ways as he gets older. We see him as an innocent little boy sitting on the stoop of where he resides. For his age, he is exposed to many hard core things and acts of violence that kids at a young age don't typically ever see. He sees what the community he lives in is all about and he learns the ways of the Italian mobsters. His parents try and protect him from the violence but C gets attached to Sunny, the Italian mobster, and can't seem to keep his distance from him. The town he lives in is mostly racist and they don't like when groupies or gangs are on their grounds. Since C comes from a family that doesn't have a lot and because his parents are always trying to protect him, C doesn't do anything more than observe everything that goes on. When C was in the bar when Sunny and his clan beat up those guys, C just watched. He didn't fight because he wasn't taught that way. When C's friends beat up the African American boy, C tried to convince them not to and he didn't take part in it, he just watched it happen. C is the perfect example of a boy who is greatly influenced by the community he was brought up in, yet he still holds his own values and tries to do the right thing.
