The movie, A Bronx Tale, was intriguing, intellectual, and entertaining. From a sociological point of view it was interesting to see how "C" (cause I can't spell his full name) was influenced by groups around him. He was mostly influenced by his father and Sunny. Although these two men were opposite, they both preached a similiar fatherly message of "be better than me". Sunny said don't live my life, while his father wanted him to focus on his "wasted talent". C would often fight these men because he knew that he was an image of both men's best side. He reflected Sunny's educational side, and reflected his father's good values. Additionally, the audience took a very steriotypical view towards Sunny, they thought he was just a "thug", like me. However, Sunny was actually very educated, even speaking of reading Machiavelli. The final sociological comment, was that C catogorized the African American's, but he didn't judge or steriotype them. This can be clearly seen in him dating Jane (that's her whole name). This movie was a great film, and really emphasized these categories and being socially mindful.
