Image result for gotti the movie


The movie "Gotti" by "Hollywood reporter" was just as the headline of the cover suggested, explosive, rich and powerful. The movie showed the life of Mob boss John Gotti, a life full of power, loyalty and poise. The cover imagery totally depicts these characteristics, and portrayed what I would soon see in the movie. The image shows an Italian man with a humble, blank look on his face , but a shceming essence in his eyes. This message really did depict what was to come in the movie because we saw that Johns rise and fall as a mob boss was full of well thought out murders and him deflecting the wrath of the court system through bargaining and intimidation, while always coming out of it as a "good guy" in the public eye. The infamous name "Gotti" in bold is enough to draw you in as a potential viewer if you have any interest in organized crime, so the cover did a great job in pulling me in.
