Bugsy

Rating:
Summary: A gangster movie with style
Review: The story about Bugsy Siegel is well documented in this motion picture, although not historically accurate in details, but it doesn't matter as the character and the story of Bugsy comes across very well. The notorious gangster who is credited with bringing high-class gaming to Las Vegas, is played by Warren Beatty. We think it's Beatty's best role so far ... he really plays very good, and so does Annette Bening as Virginia Hill. Siegel was a dreamer, a visionary and a ladies' man no doubt. The movie is inspiring about pursuing your vision, but it is also a warning against wrong affiliations. The set and styling (cars, clothes, etc.) are just great and they look absolutely authentic. The script is also very well written, the cinematogrpahy is excellent, and the soundtrack fits perfectly, and it's certainly one of the best gangster movies ever made.

Summary: A Classic
Review: There is a Scene in the movie-where, Bugsy's (Warren Beatty)
Mob buddies drop in at the wrong time (" Ben, We should't have barged in on you like this-enjoy the birthday party for little Millicent"). The Candles are lit,the tab kept for the flirting Mistress on the West Coast, just taken a beating from a fellow Mobster, blood trickling at the angle of the mouth-Wife Esta (Wendy Phillips) walks in "you think we shoud get a divorce?". The haunting background music of Ennio Morricone ampliflies to the misery of unfolding life ahead. The actor is not Marlon Brando-but Warren Beatty, it is not Coppola-but Levinson,This is not Godfather-but BUGSY,a Celluloid Classic,Probabably the Best Casting ever for a Movie after Godfather.Forget about Joe Esterhaus, William Goldman, The name is James Toback-the dialogue should be a primer for "How to write a Screen-Play for a Movie".I donot have time to watch junk Movies.Some of my own selection for good Movies happens to be:Shashank Redemption,Casino,BenHur,Cleopatra, Sound of Music,Casablanca,Gone with the Wind,God Father,Good Fellas and now BUGSY.These are not Movies you rent, you buy them and Cherish them like a flawless Diamonds.

Rating:
Summary: An Epic Hollywood Picture
Review: This is an incredible movie. The cast did an outstanding job in each of their roles. Annette Bening's role as Virginia Hill proves her talent as an actress. The passionate yet tragic romance between Bugsy and Virginia Hill proves that the Old Hollywood Romance still exists.

Summary: Levinson Outdoes Coppola at his own game!
Review: Warren Beatty is Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel, the father of Las Vegas. Thanks to director Barry Levinson, we see "Bugsy" Siegel the true visionary of a Las Vegas and all that implies. This film has a romance that the "Godfather" films lacked. While the narrative is told through Levinson's romantic filmmaking it somehow also has a more realistic feel to it than the "Godfather" films. Much of that realism should be credited to the performances of Ben Kingsley as Meyer Lansky, Harvey Keitel as Mickey Cohen, Elliott Gould as Harry Greenberg and Beatty in his best role. Annette Bening as Virginia Hill is a cool customer and not to be overlooked. Composer Ennio Morricone turned in his best score since "Once Upon a Time in America." Ben Kingsley should have won the Oscar for Supporting Actor. It was one of the best performances on film. This film has a strange likable quality about it.
