The Popularity of Gangster Films in the Early Nineteen-Thirties

Popularity of gang movies in the early 1930s In the late 1920s, the United States was a particularly turbulent country. The collapse of Wall Street in 1929 led to high domestic unemployment rate and dissatisfaction. The Great Depression (1929-1934) was a direct result of the collapse of Wall Street, which led to the collapse of national industry and commerce, weakening the global position as a superpower.

Early in 1910, gang movies began to appear, but popularity increased as the sound appeared in the movies of the 1930 's. This type is promoted by banned cases such as theft and the massacre of St. Valentine's Day in 1929, the existence of real gangsters (such as Al Capone), and the occurrence of contemporary organized crime and urban violence . These movies illustrate the typical accomplishments of "big, barbaric, awkward, tough and illegal pirates and city gangsters."

Gang movies are one of the oldest movies, prevalent in the early 1930's. A movie about Italian fraudulent family has renewed the gang. They took this kind of movies to a higher level and drew it, especially as a tragic hero Don Corleone. "Don" Vito Corleone is the head of the family, then was one of the most notorious hooligans in New York. In his family "Tang" and other people were in danger, and eventually their violence and illegal empire caught up with them and killed many families. This movie depicts a painful picture of the rise and collapse of the family in America from his father's "Don" Vito Corleone to his son Michael Corleone. All other 'gang movies' following the Godfather will be compared with this

An early example of Gallia's gang movie is Maurice Turnle's film Justin de Marseille, founded in Marseille in 1935. Tourneur 's gangster hemisphere is distinguished from his American by honor, craftsmanship, community, and value of solidarity. Four years ago when a black movie appeared, Julien Duvivier created a French gangster movie, Pépéle Moko, that appeared in Casbah's poetic realism style. Distribution in the United States was blocked by American manufacturers remadeing Algiers in 1938. French gang movies, in the mid 1950's, in particular Jacques Becker's Touchez pas au grisbi, American blacklist movie producer Jules Dassin's Rififi, Jean-Pierre Melville's Bob le flambeur appear.
