Bronx Tale
Bronx tale really showed how your views on certain things can't change because of how you've grown. In the movie "C" didn't want to be racist, but there's some part of him that always will be because of his surroundings. This movie also shows how everyones life contains groups of people that affect them differently. In this movie I believe that C and Sonny would be in their own group, other than C being in Sonny's crew. C and Sonny share a different relationship, and grow very close. Sonny is someone C always would listen to, and admire. Sonny didn't want C's life to turn out like his; he wanted him to be safe always. I think C's master status throughout the movie is "Sonny's boy" because everything he does relates to Sonny's influence on him. In the beginning C always wanted to know Sonny, and in the end he is running to Sonny trying to thank him for saving his life. The Social Construction of the italian neighborhood seems to be Sonny's crew, and then everyone else. The entire neighborhood understands not to get in Sonny's way or to get involved with Sonny. The neighborhood doesn't approve of the blacks passing through their neighborhood.

I agree. I think that sometimes, as much as a person wants to change, they can't because of their upbringing. Like you said, C doesn't want to be racist, and tries his best to put taht behind him, but when he got angry enough, he called Jane's brother "n-gger". He didn't mean it but the fact that it slipped out means that those racist feelings are inside of him. Also, growing up with the Italian mafia has shaped how C acts. Sonny tries to be a good influence on him, but it doesn't completely change what C's grown up seeing.
