This movie is coming from the point of view of Sam (Robert Dinero) and Nick (Joe Pesci). There is certain parts of the movie were Sam is the narrator and there is others were Nick is the narrator. For instance, the scene were Sam was trying to get his gaming licensees. He starts talking about how he is being questioned by people about his connection with mob connected Nick. A scene were Nick was a narrator was the one were he was talking about the FBI being on his tail, but, he is not worried because he paid top dollar for scanners, debuggers, and etc. You can feel what the characters are going through at the parts were they were also playing narrator.

This is an excellent movie so go and rent it.

There are also ways of looking into and looking at a situation by how close or how far away a shot is. One shot they did that really impressed me was the ECU (Extreme Close Up Shot) shot of Sam’s glasses as he watched “his friend” Nick pull up. This shot would have given any viewer the impression that something serious was pulling up on Sam. Another shot that impressed was the one were Nick was coming out of the jewelry store to get into his car. It showed unnatural masking because the whole screen was black except for the area were Nick was, making the viewer focus on him. The last shot that impressed me was the shot that switched from the FBI watching him to Nick watching the FBI The shot didn’t change, just the focus of the shot did. It went from the focus on the police to the focus being on Nick’s reflection in the window.
