    CLIP DESCRIPTION:
    Ness (Kevin Costner) hurls Nitti (Billy Drago) from a rooftop, avenging the death of his friend.
    FILM DESCRIPTION:
    Like the TV series that shared the same title, The Untouchables (1987) was an account of the battle between gangster Al Capone and lawman Eliot Ness, this time in the form of a feature film boasting big stars, a big budget, and a script from respected playwright David Mamet. Kevin Costner stars as Ness, a federal agent who has come to Chicago during the Prohibition Era, when corruption in the local police department is rampant. His mission is to put crime lord Capone (Robert De Niro) out of business, but Capone is so powerful and popular that Ness is not taken seriously by the law or the press. One night, discouraged, he meets a veteran patrolman, Jimmy Malone (Sean Connery), and discovers that the acerbic Irishman is the one honest man he's been seeking. Malone has soon helped Ness recruit a gunslinger rookie, George Stone (Andy Garcia), and, joined by nebbish accountant Oscar Wallace (Charles Martin Smith), the men doggedly pursue Capone and his illegal interests. At first a laughingstock, Ness soon has Capone outraged over his and Malone's sometimes law-bending tactics, and the vain mobster strikes back in vicious style. Ultimately, it is the most unexpected and minor of crimes, tax evasion, which proves Capone's undoing. All of the credits for The Untouchables boasted big names, including music from Ennio Morricone and costumes by Giorgio Armani. Director Brian De Palma continued his tradition of including a homage to past masters of the cinema with a taut stairway shoot-out reminiscent of a similar sequence in Sergei Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin (1925).

    The protagonist succumbing to pure hatred doesn’t happen as often in movies as some might think. The fact that he straight up killed the dude for insulting his dead friend was a pretty big deal for such a straight and narrow cop who was also a big family man. Especially when we see his reaction the first time he had to kill a man earlier in the movie. It shows you how much of a void was left in his life after Malone was murdered. It’s great character development.

      It's also one of the few times when the falling person didn't turn to land on their back. Most "falling body" stunts have the stuntperson turning to land on their back to absorb the impact in whatever "zone" they land on, but even if the stunt started with the stuntman only a few feet up, they risk damage to the face, hands and chest landing like that.

      Ah yes, the good old "If you kill him, you're no better than him" fallacy taught by naive kindergarden-level moralists with no grasp of context. There's a term for people like you: lawful stupid.
      The difference between Ness and the criminals he's fighting against is that Ness is a government agent fighting to protect the law and the people he kills are criminals that rob, steal, kill and bribe their way through the system.
      Evidently the point of the movie -- a group of special agents trying to nab Al Capone through more aggressive means because ordinary police procedure proved utterly ineffectual -- sailed right over your head, didn't it? Especially the part where the term "Untouchables" originated from the fact that the eponymous agents were known to be utterly fearless and incorruptible in their fight against Al Capone?
      So tell us again how Ness is no better than the people he's fighting against, other than by simply stating it as though it were fact.

      This makes it sound like a cover up. NO.

    • @tomjustis7237
      @tomjustis7237 2 роки тому +1

      @@CodaMission I didn't mean to imply a "cover-up" in the traditional sense of the term, I.E. that government agents assassinated Nitti and tried to hide the fact. I was thinking more along the lines that other mob members killed him to keep him from testifying in court so he wouldn't make a deal to save himself by testifying against them. By your own account of the three shots, "the first missed, the second hit his jaw, the third went through his skull". Think about this; exactly how do you place the muzzle of a pistol against the side of your head, pull the trigger, and miss? We are not talking about a shot at fifty feet at this point. Even if he DID somehow miss that simple shot, and he was so inept with a handgun that his second shot took out his jaw, that would probably cause massive trauma and incapacitate him. Yet, by your scenario, he was still able to lift the gun and fire a third shot through his head. To me, that doesn't seem even remotely possible. I'm still of the opinion that other mobster's killed Nitti to shut his mouth. Multiple shooters would explain the various wounds. As to the witnesses, do you really think the mob in Chicago back in those days couldn't arrange for a few "witnesses" to testify to anything they wanted? Sorry, but the official story just doesn't make sense to me.

      @@usfanlovesjiwoo1978 There's some speculation it wasn't really suicide and that Ricca and Accardo had him "hit" so he wouldn't talk to get a reduced sentence. On the one hand, Nitti was supposedly claustrophobic and terrified of going to prison, and I've heard mention made of cancer. On the other hand, he was raised Catholic, and the Church's stand on suicide is well known. Plus there are those who say the first shot would have incapacitated him and that he wouldn't have been able to get a second shot off.

    Why would you antagonize someone like that? Especially taking the following into account:
    1) He knows you`ve threatened his family, and knows you`ll probably keep going when you get out of prison...if you even go there in the 1st place.
    2) He is a government agent in a position to outright murder you and be able to cover it up completely
    3) You`re not going to beat the rap, he`s got you dead to rights for pulling a gun and murdering someone in a courthouse, and evidence that you killed a member of his team.
    4) It COULD look like a suicide from where you two are, there are no witnesses
    5) He is one step away from being angry enough to go through with it
    There`s "Too dumb to live" and then there`s Frank Nitti...

      Boyd Jefferson There's now some debate as to it really being a suicide. Those who support the suicide theory point out that Nitro was claustrophobic and terrified of going back to prison and that he may have been diagnosed with cancer. Those who say he was probably "hit" point out that his Catholic upbringing would have made suicide almost unthinkable and that the first of the two shots to his head would probably have incapacitated if not killed him, so he most likely wouldn't have been able to get the second shot off.

      @Basic_Assumption Only that's not how Nitti died. Ness never threw him off the roof. Nitti succeeded Capone after he went to jail. Nitti killed himself in 1943. I was really disappoint in this movie because the movie exaggerated Ness's involvement in catching Capone and it doesn't portray what really happened. More fiction than fact. Plus there was not enough Capone scenes of him wheeling and dealing. Only him getting a shave, yelling at his desk and on the staircase and going to the opera and yelling in court.

    Actor Billy Drago did such a great job portraying this despicable thug, I wonder if he experienced similar things Andy Robinson did when the first "Dirty Harry" film came out? Robinson played the serial killer in the latter and his performance was so authentic that many audience members could not discern that he's only acting in a movie. He was routinely accosted on the street, people called him horrible names, and even sent death threats. Likewise, people hate Nitti so much (I saw this in the theater - the entire audience erupted in cheers when he died!), I'll bet after the movie first came out Drago got the same threats Robinson did.
