    Chazz Palminteri (Sonny) WROTE this movie based in part on his own life. He did a one man show off it as a struggling actor and movie studios wanted it but without him in it. Got up to a million dollar offer and Chaz is dead broke and hungry. Robert deniro comes in and agrees to helm the movie so long as chazz is in it. Now this film is classic film among everybody among everybody from the 90s.

      It's a great line, and then the movie had to ruin it by acting if those obese and weak indoor cats could have actually beaten up a gang of bikers, who in that era were virtually all combat veterans. That scene is definitely one of the fictional ones that Chazz invented in the scrip: if it's based on a real event from his youth, in the real version, the Mafiosos shot the bikers before a punch could be thrown.

    DeNiro's directorial debut is absolutely perfect and compliments his skills as an artist - as an actor and a filmmaker/storyteller. Although he did a follow up it did not do well and he's not done so since. Hope he changes his mind soon. Palminteri adapted his one-man play for this and makes a career-defining performance as a villain with a morality code & ethics. The battle of two fathers for the soul of a son resonates for every father/son relationship (trust me). The film captures the '60s wonderfully as you both mentioned how simpler innocent it was in spite of the racial turmoil that sadly has always permeated society. Such an underrated film and a deep cut watch, ladies (great job!)

      It's not about simply being polite, - it's actually about discovering the authentic nature of someone to reciprocate thoughtfulness & generosity.
      Namely, as Sonny intimated, - the first dates are the most polite, thoughtful, generous & considerate they are ever going to be. Because they want to make a favourable impression on someone who is initially looking for red flags.
      If a person is arrogant, entitled, selfish, uncompromising, - their behaviour is only going to go downhill from there once they feel secure in the relationship.
      That's why Sonny intimates that not reciprocating a courtesy is just the tip of the iceberg.
      What means everything to a man is, - trying.
      We might willingly pay for a meal. But we still appreciate a woman who offers to go halves, even if we graciously decline & pay the tab anyway.
      We appreciate that you've made the gesture, & our generosity & chivalry isn't being taken lightly.

    When C gets in the car with those dumbass friends of his and you hear all along the watchtower by Jimi Hendrix, it sets one hell of a tone. It made me so nervous but when Sunny knocks on that window and tells C to get out of the car it was instant relief because you know C desperately wants out of that car.
    The dad always tells C to stay away from Sunny but C was already hanging with those crappy friends.
    C’s father warns him about Sunny because he knows how they get down.
    Sunny warns C about street life because he’s really bout that life. He’s seen and done it all. It’s why Sunny can tell that C’s friends are idiots that will get themselves killed. C’s father never picks up on the friends being bad news the way Sunny did.
    Sunny was like the eyes watching C on the streets where the father could not see. So C really had 2 fathers, one at home and one in the street. Fantastic film.

    That 'choir' is actually a CHORUS of A CAPELLA singers, of the fifties style. Sonny is played by Chazz (Cologero Lorenzo) Palminteri, who wrote this and it's based on his early life. Kid's new nickname is "C" not 'see'. A great movie that captures a NY moment in time.

Yes, ladies the racism was tough on me too back then.( Born in '59, Black Father, Chinese Mother) But my father was a drill Sgt. for the Army Rangers and....Prepared me well..Kids in my 'hood and anywhere else found out quickly it wasn't healthy to slur me. Loved you both saw the good in Sonny, and it is awfully sad living in a way that you can't trust anyone..To me no amount of power/$$ is worth that.

That was how it was in his world. C's father was heroically trying to keep his son from that world with some wise parenting and life lessons. But Sonny's death I believe was the final lesson for C.

    "A Bronx Tale" is Chazz Palminteri [the actor who plays "Sonny" in the film]'s personal story.
    He wrote it while he was bouncing at The Limelight [a famed N.Y.C., club and, later, also: concert venue- (which existed in a renovated church), of the 1980s and 1990s].
    Palminteri performed it as a one-man show (in the late '80s), playing some (I forget, exactly, now 🤦🙄 ...apologies) 🤷‍♀?? 16?? 🤷18? 🤷🤷(something like that!) roles in the piece, himself.
    DeNiro was given the rights to make the film because he was the only potential Director who agreed to let Palminteri play "Sonny" in the film.
    ...I think it's only one of 2 films DeNiro has, ever, directed. 🤷‍♀
    -Anyway: It is/remains a "classic N.Y.C. story" and is, truly, well-written and well-acted.

    Guys do want to be able to do things for a woman, but if you open the door for a woman and she reaches over and unlocks it or pops it open while you’re running around, it instantly feels like a partnership. I get your door, you unlock mine.
    The parking space was about respect and saving face. It’s just a parking spot. Go up half a block and you’ll find another one. But you can’t be the guy who says “eh, you take it, I’ll just go up the street” and not lose a little bit of people’s respect for you (insane, but it’s how these dudes think)

    In regards to racism, blacks of USA, we feel that we have to discuss race before it becomes a sick reminder thrown in your face by racists. We aren’t taught to be inferior or judge another by race but to celebrate the diversity. When race is ignored the sting of racism and its eventuality hurts even more when it appears. White Americans want to ignore it as if color died t exist but we notice gender, and other things but race is the scariest for most. Again we don’t judge by race but we celebrate race. - average white band? Cyndi lauper? Teena Marie? Distinct white Americans celebrated by blacks from different eons. Race is not something to be feared but loved and understood. There are differences just like any other household but not in any derogatory sense.

      Yes and it would be great if black folks stopped believing in and going along with the propaganda about how racist white people are. It's simply a lie. Also, cops kill more white unarmed white people than black unarmed people a year. Also, black people attack, kill murder and rape white people many times over what white people do to black people. The lies black people believe about white people from athletes, Hollywood and the news media is largely responsible for this. Yeah of course there's racism but this is not the 1960's. Divide and conquer is their game and people need to wake up to it because it's going to be too late very, very soon if it's not already.
