      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

    • Violet Kray: Shall I tell you my dream? I dreamed that I was a beautiful white swan. And I could fly anywhere, do anything. I ate fish and pecked at things with my beak. And I had this egg, a beautiful egg it was. And there were noises coming from inside the shell. And do you know what the noises were? They were - now listen carefully - they were children's voices. And I looked after this egg and kept it safe, until one day there was a hatching sound. And out came two boys and they were mine. And they were wonderful and they were perfect.

    • [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.
