Hollywood glamorizes organized crime too much. Gomorra, a film about organized crime in Napoli, will be released in Toronto this weekend. It can best be described as the Anti-Sopranos, it depicts gangsters for what they are. The Oscars passed it over for consideration; it's too raw and not artsy-fartsy enough for them. The author, Roberto Saviano is under 24 hour police protection for revealing the secrets of the Camorra.
A reminder...The Sopranos is NOT a documentary on the Mafia...like ER is NOT a documentary on Emergency Wards in hospitals...it is FICTION for entertainment and any one watching it should keep this in mind
