Boredom in Brooklyn No preludes, to the point. So, in Brooklyn lives a young Italian named Al, who, according to the opening scene, lost his father in a shootout as a child. Now in his twenties, he is fond of playing drums as part of a jazz band, and also helps his relative - the middle-handed mafia Parente - in his criminal affairs. Life flows smoothly and measuredly until Gabriela appears in the block - a beautiful girl making a documentary about the borough of New York. However, with its appearance, old secrets resurface and require a fair resolution.
Yeah, that's right. Not a single word, everything is dry and concise, like the movie itself. The director had a story in his head, which he embodied on the screen. The characters are written quite well, even there is no secret. The problem with ‘Born in Brooklyn’ is that there are no such stories.
Fans of gangster cinema have nothing to catch here, except for the acting work of Danny Aiello. It fit perfectly, but the scale of the picture clearly does not correspond to the size of the talent of the master playing in it.
Yes, the musical part is a miracle, but I will listen to jazz somewhere else.
It is better to look at the poster of the film for an hour and a half, turning on the imagination. I assure you, it will be much more interesting than watching the movie itself.
