Mob Movie Monday "Bugsy" Review with Michael Franzese

[@tomking7080]

That’s some of the best advice you will ever hear. “Don’t worry about the things that you can NOT control in life “ You will drive yourself insane doing so.

A few years ago my wife and I were in Vegas, and went to Madame Tussaud’s one afternoon. There were a lot of great likenesses, but I found the figure of Ben Seigel to be absolutely haunting. It literally looked like he was there, just standing stock still. It was the only one that kind of freaked me out, it was so realistic.

[@keithdean9149]

The scene that really stood out to me was when Bugsy buys the house from the opera singer. As soon as the singer finds out who he's talking to, you can see the sheer terror in his face, especially after he makes the mistake of using the nickname Bugsy.

[@colbyhopkins3949]

Warren Beatty and Annette bening actually fell in love during the production of that film and are still married to this day. Now that's a love story! Also made there encounters with each other so genuine on film. Such a great movie

[@joeylawn36111]

My favorite scene was when one of the LA mobsters casually calls him "Bugsy" - Bugsy sucker-punches the guy and then says "I'll give you the benefit of doubt that you didn't know that you're not supposed to call me that" followed by Bugsy leaving, and the other mobsters saying we can't do anything about (the sucker punch) because of - dropping the names of all the big mobsters back East - would back up Bugsy.

I think the funniest scene in the film by far is Ben coming home and thinks Virginia's brother is a guy she's seeing. "MAY I SEE SOME FORM OF IDENTIFICATION PLEASE?!"

[@marknicole7295]

You’re the man, Michael, always love watching your videos. Wish we had more famous mafia gangsters from San Francisco to talk about, only one I can think of is the Lanza crime family.

The young Benjamin Siegal and Myer Lansky (as well as the young Capone and Luciano) are portrayed in HBO's great drama series, Boardwalk Empire. This would be another good choice for Michael's thoughts.

Michael, have you seen the film Eastern Promises with Viggo Mortensen. A fictional account of the Russian mob in London. Mortensen is brilliant.

I'm in no way comparing my life to yours but as a young guy I was seeking the approval of my father it caused me to do things that i didn't have in my heart to do I was a feared and respected nobody coming up known for my willingness to be violent when called for ...My father was a remorseless sociopath that raised his sons to always be willing to lie and to understand violence is the only answer.... He slept like a baby at night I on the other hand became very affected by this lifestyle and behavior my heart was good I had to live with such guilt & remorse & it weighed on me I became an alcoholic my mask I took me many years to truly understand that my dad did not have the ability to feel shame guilt and remorse was truly freed of any guilt ,,,.....My point I worked hard to drop the mask was who I was & I wore for it 90% of my adult life old habits die hard but I'm a changed man still trying to learn to love myself I Again Mike not comparing me to you in anyway I was nobody but wondering if my story struck a chord with you as a young man possibly seeking your dads approval?
