      Not bad in itself but worth remaking

      Unlike many other gangster movies I've watched, the female characters have a strong sense of presence and are very poking. Most women are very powerful images, but men are rather rogue and incompetent. I never thought about feminist and gangsters getting along...so it’s quite new. But also because of this, as a real crime movie, the line is a bit scattered, the crime itself is not written enough, and the pen and ink describing the cause, process and results of the murder are too few, so it is...

    Background creation

    In 1990, the gangster movie fever in the British film industry returned, and the representative was "The Krays". The movie "Gram" is an excellent old-fashioned morality film, which describes how bad guys flew to the top and then fell to pieces. The film is more like a fable that warns than just an exciting and compelling ordinary story. Its title and story come from real-life twin brothers named Ronald and Regina Hui Clay. The film is...

    Movie quotes

    • [to Ronnie and Reggie, aged three]

      Violet Kray: Who loves you, eh? That's right, Mummy loves you, you little monsters. Mummy loves you more than anything - more than all the cakes, more than all the jewellery, more than all the chocolate in the world.

    • [Ronnie and Reggie hold down the Italian gangster on the snooker table after he has demanded protection money]

      Ronald Kray: You go back and you tell Rutherman no-one fucks with us. This is nothing. Give me your hand. Do it!

      [Ronnie sticks a sword through the gangster's hand and twists it. Blood drips from the snooker table]

      Italian Gangster: [screams]

      Reggie Kray: Just show him this and tell him we let you off lightly. Hear me? Say "thank you".

      Ronald Kray: Say "thank you".

      Reggie Kray: Say "thank you".

      Italian Gangster: [screams] Thank you.

    • [the Kray twins have been called up for National Service in the Army]

      Drill Sergeant: You are not people any more. You are not human beings. You are part of a machine. You do not wear what you want to, think what you want to - you wear what we tell you, think what we tell you, eat when we tell you, sleep, shit and fuck when we tell you!

      [a soldier giggles]

      Drill Sergeant: Someone stick a feather up your arse, lad?

      Soldier: Sarge?

      Drill Sergeant: You're grinning like a bloody Cheshire cat!

      [Ronnie and Reggie start walking away]

      Drill Sergeant: And where do you little darlings think you're off to?

      Reggie Kray: Home, for a cup of tea with our mum.

      Drill Sergeant: Get your nasty little arses back in here!

      Reggie Kray: Look, you've got nothing to say and you're saying it too loudly. So...

      Ronald Kray: ...Bollocks!

      [the other soldiers laugh]

      Drill Sergeant: QUIET!

      [the Sergeant tries to restrain Ronnie and Reggie, so, in perfect synchrony, they both floor him with a punch]
