The whole movie has nothing to say, exquisite, compact, real, and cruel.
The upper part is a bit of a fairy tale, with the theme of family, friendship, and loyalty. The gang is more like a big family, whether it's a big tip, a big tip, or a full bag of gift money at a wedding. Know how to disperse wealth and gather natural people. This is reflected most thoroughly in De Niro's role. He was the one who was the most generous with money at the beginning and the most popular one.
The bottom half becomes dark and cruel, with the theme of betrayal, coldness, and greed. The intrigue between people and the possessiveness of wealth make the gangster family the law of the jungle. You can call you a brother one minute, and you can quietly kill your brother in the next minute without saying hello. It was also De Niro, how generous he was in front of the small fortune at the beginning, and how greedy he was in front of the big fortune at the end, and he wished to kill all his brothers.
For the discussion of human nature, gangsters are a good topic. For the beauty and cruelty of the real world, watching a gangster movie is like stepping on the accelerator, showing the best and worst things of human nature in the most rock-and-roll way. Desire is the driving force of mankind, the desire to survive makes us unite, and the desire to greedy makes us perish. The social rules are actually very simple.
